Chapter 426: The World Under the Ice Sheet (Part 2)
Chapter 426: The World Under the Ice Cover (Part 2)
When Salin conquered these ancient warriors, the mages did not participate. Their level gap was too big. If they participated, the ancient warriors would kill these mages with any skill.
Twenty-four ancient warriors were wearing dirty blood armor and formed a protective posture on both sides of Salin, like a pair of wings, wrapping Salin in the middle. The ancient warriors in front of them, with their spear-fingered sharp aura, almost split the magic shields that the magicians hurriedly supported.
The magicians finally felt relieved. The twenty-four warriors were so powerful that they had exceeded their defense. Salin should not be in danger if they could protect these warriors. Salin said just now, just in case. Recalling Salin's previous caution, the magicians finally calmed down and agreed that Salin would not take them into the frozen sea.
The mages still don’t know much about the dangers of the Ice Sea. The Ice Sea is all shrouded under a huge ice cap with an average thickness of more than one mile. After entering, if you want to leave the sea, you have to dig out the road in the ice that is dozens of times harder than steel.
If there is time and in a safe environment, this is not a difficult task for Salin, who has a strange water flow, but in the frozen sea, terrifying monsters are everywhere. When you encounter danger, you will not have time to calmly dig out the path to escape to the ice.
After saying goodbye to his wizard, the Cang Turtle Alchemy Ship sank underwater and began to move towards the frozen sea.
Here is four or five hundred miles away from the edge of the ice cap, and the depth from the sea surface to the sea bottom is more than 5,000 meters. This place is much deeper than the outer periphery of the Ice Sea. The outer periphery of the Ice Sea seems to have endless undersea mountains, surrounding the Ice Sea. After crossing these undersea mountains, the water depth will immediately increase sharply.
The winged skeleton manipulated the Round Turtle Alchemy Ship and advanced along the ridges that were north-south in the sea. He did not dare to enter the deeper trench. Among the trenches where even the light element could not exist, the most terrifying biological communities on the Meers continent lived. In the trench that reached thousands of miles deep, the Round Turtle Alchemy Ship's defense was not very powerful, and it was even difficult to survive for more than a month. This was because the monsters under the water would be eaten for about a month and would not have to eat.
It is not safe on the bottom ridge of the sea. Many monsters in the sea that are used to migration will browse the ridges in a fixed season. The turtle alchemy ship actually passes through the passages that monsters must pass.
The winged skeleton manipulated the turtle alchemy ship and searched the ridge. The unicorn white whales are huge in size. If they want to enter the frozen sea when they die, they will inevitably leave traces of their progress. Moreover, under the ice cap, the unicorn white whales cannot breathe. They must use their magical powers to swim under the water for a long time, and the traces of elements are even more difficult to eliminate.
The Winged Skeleton already knows the smell of the unicorn white whale and the magic characteristics it uses. As long as it is a passage that has been left for many years, even ten miles away, the Winged Skeleton can be quickly discovered.
Under the ice cap, the sun cannot penetrate the sea water, and the temperature is much lower than the outside of the frozen sea. The world here is black, but in the sea water, many fish are shining, and the fire elements gathered on them give them the ability to illuminate the nearby environment.
The turtle alchemy ship occasionally floats to a certain height, and even moves forward under the ice cap.
The Winged Skeleton told Salin that there were some monsters underwater, which were too powerful. Even if they did not attack the Alchemy Ship, they were just idle and had nothing to do to play. It was possible that the Alchemy Ship would be destroyed.
The most distinctive one is the Cuttlefish King, a 100-meter-long squid, who dares to hunt any monsters, except for the unicorn white whale, which can grow more than 200 meters.
Salin remembered the giant octopus he encountered before, and knew that the power of this kind of monster with tentacles was incredible. If he was trapped, it would be a tragic battle. Of course, he could win by relying on the ancient warriors, but killing these squid kings would make the entire sea full of bloody smell, which was the most terrible thing.
The only thing that made Salin feel at ease was that the frozen sea was full of the power of death. Countless monsters that had died here since ancient times had dissipated their souls very slowly, and the power of death could not dissipate. In places without any light elements, many sea areas are almost the same as the undead plane. The winged skeletons can easily create undead here.
There are two ways to detect the Pan Turtle Alchemy Ship. One is to release the bone spirit, and the other is to use the undead to stare and directly observe the environment in the sea.
The undead stared in this environment not only inconspicuously, but also increased the distance to detect, and could see at least twenty miles away.
Now even if there is a human level nine magician nearby, it is impossible to find the Round Turtle Alchemy Ship that is actively reconnaissance in the dark. The same is true for the monsters in the sea. They only think that the Round Turtle Alchemy Ship is a dead Round Turtle, with only the turtle shell left. Although they don’t understand why the turtle shell still swims, the monsters have no interest in the lifeless turtle shell.
Although the frozen sea is dangerous, the monsters do not kill randomly and only hunt when they are hungry. Of course, monsters are also very dangerous in estrus, but monsters in estrus have very obvious characteristics. The dangerous aura can be felt hundreds of miles away. The winged skeleton will naturally not hit you to find bad luck.
In the world under the ice cap, there are so many lives that Salin can hardly believe. Sometimes, the Alchemy Boat of the Rock Turtle enters the fish, and it takes several hours to pass through. The number of this fish is so huge that if you hunt here, Salin can easily obtain hundreds of thousands or even millions of intermediate magic cores.
Of course, these fish are not easy to mess with. Salin resisted the urge to hunt fish and asked the winged skeleton to continue looking for the cemetery of the unicorn white whale.
There is a bright light in the distance, but countless luminous plants are growing on the ridges of the seabed. The roots of these plants plunge into the rocks, and the leaves that are dozens of meters long dance in the water, forming a shiny underwater forest.
The turtle alchemy ship quickly floated up. In the images sent back by the undead staring, Salin and others saw a group of level 7 iron sharks chasing dozens of slender monsters into the glowing forest. The dancing leaves suddenly emitted even more intense light. The iron shark's eyes, which could be seen in the dark for miles, were stimulated by strong light, and were extremely painful.
"The iron shark is finished." The winged skeleton sighed. Although these iron sharks are only level seven, they are in groups and dare to attack level eight creatures. The success rate is extremely high, which is considered a very dangerous thing. However, these iron sharks, more than 20 meters long, were wrapped around the body by those glowing leaves. The thin thorns on the leaves injected strong toxins into the body of the iron shark, causing the iron shark to struggle wildly.
An iron shark is entangled with at least thousands of leaves. The iron shark is powerful. With such struggle, thousands of glowing leaves break one after another, but more leaves will immediately tangle. During the struggle, the hard scales of the iron shark were also torn off, and it became easier for the glowing leaves to inject toxins.
The group of iron sharks rolled in the glowing forest. Every time they broke free from the long leaves, the flesh and blood on the iron shark would disappear. The luminous leaves crazily absorbed the flesh and blood in the sea water. The iron shark lost its combat power in a blink of an eye and was entangled by the glowing leaves, wrapping them with airtightness.
The iron shark, more than 20 meters long, faded down with a speed visible to the naked eye. The turtle alchemy boat carefully sailed over the glowing forest. As the undead peered, Salin saw that under the glowing forest, there were endless white bones.
"What a terrible plant!"
"Master, if this plant is planted below the port, no one will penetrate it." The winged skeleton looked at the luminous plant below and liked it very much.
"This thing... forget it." Salin was very afraid of this terrifying plant. If the reproductive power of this plant is strong, it will soon block the waters near the port.
"Look, lord." The winged skeleton pointed at the dozens of slender monsters that had penetrated into the glowing forest in the magical image.
Salin looked at it intently and saw that these dozens of slender monsters were at least ten meters long and were happily traveling through the glowing leaves. They had tiny mouths with no teeth in their mouths. Many of the minced meat torn off the iron shark by the glowing leaves fell into the mouths of these slender monsters.
It turns out that these monsters are bait, tempting the iron sharks to rush into the glowing forest. When the plants kill the iron sharks, the slender monsters can obtain the food left to them by the plants.
"We must be careful and don't chase any prey at will." Salin's voice felt a little hesitant.
These monsters may have low intelligence, but various means may not be something humans can guard against. If you discover these monsters first and want to pursue them, you will also enter the forest. I don’t know what the outcome will be.
The world under the ice cap is deceitful and cruel, and there are killings at all times. The monsters that can survive have unique abilities. In this area, human wisdom may no longer have an overwhelming advantage.
The turtle alchemy ship continued to head north, crossing the glowing underwater forest, with endless darkness ahead. The undead stared completely open, and everything within a radius of twenty miles was under the surveillance of the winged skeleton.
"Master..." Neris pointed to a magic image and said, "We can't stop chasing this, right?"
Salin turned his head and saw a fish nearly a hundred meters long in the magic image moving forward rapidly in the water. The sound waves did not even need the detection of the magic array and directly entered the Alchemy Ship of the Cang Turtle.
The fish is slender and has a spike of eight meters long at the front of its mouth.
"Mars?" Salin found it was a level 8 marlin, and he was not very interested. His purpose was a single-horned white whale, and the level 8 monster was unattractive.
"Silver-lined tuna, an absolute level nine monster, its master, its mouth is the sharpest weapon in the world!"
