Chapter 91 The Lord of the Underground (Seeking Monthly Pass)
With the help of the hazy blue light in the distance, Natasha carefully observed her surroundings. On one side was the spherical hollow, on the other side was the deep and oppressive dark water and various strange deep-sea "monsters". The two were distinct and not mixed at all.
The place.
"That part of the seawater seems to have been squeezed out by the special features of the 'Blue Door'. There is not even a bit of air in it. It is very difficult to hide from Helkes's induction." She made her own judgment.
Originally, with Lucien's mastery of many strange magics, it would be easy to sneak near the "Blue Gate" unnoticed, but according to the information from Doris and the previous priest, Helkes was "
In front of the "Blue Door", with his legendary peak strength and matching intuition, it is really difficult to approach quietly without the cover of seawater, fish, sea monsters, microorganisms and deep-sea plants.
.
Lucien nodded lightly, looked at the surrounding environment again, and his body sank to the bottom of the sea with a heavy weight, stepping on various "grounds" rich in mineral deposits.
"You stay here, I'll sneak in and take a look first." Lucien had an idea in his mind.
Natasha did not hesitate and nodded slightly: "Okay, if something happens, I will fly over immediately."
She knew very well that in terms of detection and covert infiltration abilities, there was an unimaginable gap between her and the legendary magicians. Those magics that were so weird that they were beyond the scope of understanding were the most suitable choices at this time. Therefore, if she forced herself to
Otherwise, it would hinder Lucien when encountering any unexpected situations, such as making him have to cast two spells to cover up his traces.
Of course, this does not mean that magicians are necessarily better than knights in their ability to infiltrate and conduct secret reconnaissance, but the bloodline of strong attack and charge like the "Sword of Truth" really cannot do such delicate things, and other special bloodlines that are good at this may not be able to do such a delicate thing.
Worse than a magician.
Seeing that Natasha agreed, Lucien's smile inspired the magic model in his soul. The reason why he likes her is probably because she is not sloppy, understands the priorities of things, knows how to weigh the pros and cons, and will not be too emotionally involved.
But he will not give up his most basic beliefs.
A faint layer of yellow-brown light appeared on Lucien's body, covering his whole body. With the help of metamagic techniques, the magic fluctuations were so slight that they were difficult to detect.
In the tawny light, Lucien's body suddenly softened, and all items including the "Grand Arcanist's Robe" turned into a puddle of mud together with his body!
"Ooze monster?" Natasha's slightly confused voice came through the psychic connection. She had never seen this strange spell before, so she could only guess in the closest direction.
Lucien's slimy body squirmed and merged with the land under the sea. His mental power seemed to have turned into countless tentacles, extending in all directions, forming a "spiritual power net" that brought the nearby land under his control.
"No, a rare nine-ring magic, the 'Lord of the Underground,' the Blue Door, only pushes out the sea water and does not let the seabed sink deeper, so it comes in handy." Lucien explained for Natasha, "No matter what
Anyway, this is always considered 'underground.'
Natasha didn't ask any more questions, she held the "Sword of Truth" tightly and prepared for a surprise attack. Lucien sank deeper into the ground, and then quietly sneaked towards the "Blue Gate".
Compared with the darkness of the deep sea, the darkness of the underground seems more depressing. It makes people feel that they will be buried here at any time. Although Lucien can detect the nearby situation through the spiritual tentacles extending to the ground, there is also chaos in time and space. I don’t know today.
What year is this illusion?
After traveling two to three hundred kilometers, the main star projection of destiny in Lucien's soul suddenly moved, and the spiritual power extending to the ground was suddenly recovered, and the forward trend came to an abrupt stop, and the whole person lay quietly in a strange state.
Underground.
We can't move forward any further. The front is the "absolute defense" range of "Lord of the Endless Ocean" Helkes!
The so-called "absolute defense" range is the surrounding range that a legendary pinnacle has almost absolute control over. Depending on the individual's strength, the person is good at different things. Some are large or small, but without exception, no one can sneak into this range without arousing their vigilance.
, not even god-like ones.
Therefore, the cases of sneak attacks on the legendary peak are all launched outside this range, or hidden in the cover of other targets in advance. Therefore, when the Elf Queen sneak attacked the previous Demon Prince, she relied on the "altar" she had personally arranged.
Therefore, before the "Dark Lord" devoured the previous demon prince, he surrendered to it and "served" by its side. Therefore, Lucien thought that if there were other deep-sea fish, he could mix among them, and that would be a sure thing.
It is possible to hide Helkes' "absolute induction" - when he is distracted by other things.
Although Lucien's tentacle-like mental power has shrunk a lot and is still a long way from the ground, there are always many small holes between the sand, gravel and rock, which are equivalent to the auxiliaries of the "Lord of the Underground".
Eyes allow Lucien to vaguely "see" the situation outside.
Not too far away, there is a magnificent palace. It has no walls and is completely supported by huge stone pillars.
This palace is incomparable to the grandeur of the Temple of the Dead. It is only equivalent to the Nexor Palace. Moreover, the stone pillars are mottled and ancient. From time to time, traces of fractures and collapse can be seen, just like the ones that were submerged at the bottom by the sea.
Ancient city.
The palace was in the shape of a ring, with an open-air altar in the center. Above the altar was a vaguely blue door. This door made Lucien feel strangely familiar, because it was the same as the "! Spiritual Fireplace", which was aloof from the outside world.
It's close in front of you but far away in the horizon. It seems that you can't touch it forever and can't get close.
"Sure enough, it's a bit like..." Lucien noticed from Doris's expression that there were some similarities between the feelings of the "Blue Door" and the "Soul Hearth", and it was also related to the change.
Uncertainly, there is some consistency in the aloof "divine radiance". "Perhaps these are different manifestations of the reality of the world, so it gives people a similar feeling."
"'The Blue Door is not in harmony with the altar and the palace. It cannot feel the traces of time at all, but the altar and the palace are engraved with the mottled years, the immortal secret chamber and the immortal corridor, the soul fireplace and the temple of the dead.
It seems to be a much better match..." Lucien identified the anomalies in the environment and made a preliminary deduction, "It should have been built by a strong seaman who controlled the Blue Gate after discovering it to set off the Blue Gate.
The status of the gate, but the latecomers don’t pay much attention to these extra things, so they have this desolate and old feeling.”
Compared with the palace full of ruins, the altar appears to be much intact, and there are some new and obscure strange symbols near the Blue Gate and on the eight sides of the altar. Even for Lucien, a learned and great arcane symbol.
The teacher couldn't tell what the words were. He only felt that every three-dimensional symbol and pattern was simple and vicissitudes of life, as if it contained endless mysteries.
"Did Helkes and other powerful men who controlled the 'Blue Gate' create words similar to the 'Dark Holy Word' based on the special features of the 'Blue Gate'?" Lucien guessed the reason, but no matter what, these foundations
The impact of the "extraordinary words" on the surrounding environment is revealing their effects, allowing Lucien to slowly analyze the meaning of each word and the effect of the entire magic circle.
Under the eight sides of the altar, there are blood sacrifice magic circles that Lucien is familiar with. There are many sea elves, Gips fishmen and more Kuo Tao fishmen, mutated seahorses, poisonous jellyfish and deep sea dragons.
.
By the time Lucien noticed this, the blood sacrifice magic circle had been activated. These poor creatures had completely lost their lives and stood there like mummies. The surroundings were condensed with rich blood and milky white light, filled with pain, hatred and despair.
Same as real emotions.
On the altar, in front of the Blue Gate, stood two strange creatures. One was a tall murloc, as big as a frost giant. The scales on his body were no longer silver gray, nor glowing with blood, but dark blue.
Transparent like the color of gemstones.
He wears a blue crown on his head, covering the upper half of his face in a strange shadow. Only a pair of dark red indifferent eyes are revealed, which together with the hard lips of the lower half of the face are impressive, and his limbs are not like other limbs.
The fish-man is so shrunken, but his strong and powerful right hand holds a golden trident tightly. Under the trident, a blue gem that looks like an eye brings out a faint sense of time and space fluctuations.
This is the "Lord of the Endless Ocean", the Kuo-Tao fishman emperor, Helkes.
Next to him is an even weirder creature. The entire body seems to be made of transparent and soft materials. It is constantly twisting and floating, sometimes like flowers blooming, sometimes like tentacles spreading out. At the same time, this creature has no eyes or nose on its face.
, without a mouth, just like a transparent film bag filled with water.
"The second-ranked 'dark jellyfish' among the seven generals of the sea?" Lucien thought to himself.
Helkes watched the blood sacrifice magic circle around him being activated, and said in a voice like the jingling of gold and stone: "When we open the blue door, we will get the gift of the sea. I will return to my strongest state, and you can get no less than the blue secret key."
legendary material.”
"Can this method of using tens of thousands of life blood sacrifices really open the 'Blue Door' in advance?" The dark jellyfish Tiers directly vibrated the surrounding void and made a sound.
"Of course, but we have to work together to activate the remaining extraordinary magic circle, otherwise the power of blood sacrifice alone will not be enough." Helkes stepped into the center of the magic circle on the left side of the "Blue Gate", and the dark jellyfish Tiers also entered
right.
Lucien looked at this scene with some doubts in his heart, so he continued to observe.
The strange symbols and patterns shine at the same time, and the dark blue light complements the blue door.
Soon, a complex and mysterious three-dimensional magic circle was formed, like a water palace shrouded on the altar, and in the blood sacrifice magic circle on eight sides, rich blood mixed with emotions of despair, pain and hatred surged into the room.
"Dark Jellyfish" Tiers' side!
"you!"
Tiers sensed something was wrong, and spread out his body in shock and anger. The dark bubbles temporarily blocked out the influx of negative emotions and blood.
Helkes raised the trident and said in an indifferent voice: "Don't blame me, you have also seen how powerful Aglaia is. If I don't find a way to improve, I will be thrown away by her, and the sea tribe will usher in the end."
"Hmph, then why don't you sacrifice yourself to fulfill me?" Dark jellyfish Tiers squeezed out countless black juice.
"It's this nonsense again..." Lucien in the distance thought helplessly, but he immediately became excited. This was the first time he had witnessed similar scenes with his own eyes. They were rare "experimental materials"
"!
So, the magic notebook in his soul library was spread out, recording the symbols, patterns, activation process and every detail.
