Chapter 65 Desolate Predator
"You've foresaw it long ago?"
Hill suddenly turned around. He recalled the warriors' behavior that had been watching the sea before, and then whispered to Joshua: "You have been observing just now, but why don't you say it?"
"Foreseeing an attack will not mean that it can be foreseeing what kind of attack will be." Joshua turned his head and explained to the elf boy and the two dragons: "A strange current and black mist, at most I am just alerting to possible dangers, and it is impossible to know what consequences it will cause."
The warrior's words were not wrong, and this kind of attack was indeed unpredictable.
On the side of the ark, there was a magical light flashing in the huge dark waves. Although the white ark, which had lost power, was not overturned by the reversing tide under the protection of the Holy Light Rune, could only stay helplessly, endure the invasion of heavy rain and waves, and could not continue to move forward.
"Go back to the inside of the ark first." Finally, Joshua made the decision. He took Black into the cabin. After frowned and stared at the strange black sea water for a while, Hill also entered the cabin with Fina.
In the cabin, Robzek, Saya, Lorenda and others are discussing.
"The magic energy furnace heart in the power chamber is still running." The silver-haired Paladin was not panicked by the current unexpected situation. He pointed to the light curtain floating in the air and calmly summarized the current situation: "But these magic powers cannot be transmitted to various engines."
In the light curtain is the structural diagram of a giant ship, and every detail of the Ark is on it. At this time, except for the power chamber and a few cabins, which are also "well-operated" green, most of the hulls have turned into "unfunctional" red.
"Black dust in the sea water is a strange substance...I've never seen this on the continent of Mycrov, but it looks a bit like crystal?"
Saya was holding a test tube filled with turbid sea water in his hand. The sea water was filled with black dust like sand and dust. These dust spontaneously moved up and down without any external power, as if there was life.
The great nun looked at the test tube in his hand and seemed to be thinking: "I have visited the Magic Crystal Minerals near the Volcanic Islands, and the Magic Crystal Dust inside is somewhat similar to it."
But the magic crystal carries magic power, while this crystal absorbs magic power, and there is a huge difference between the two.
Loranda, who was standing beside him, just frowned and stared at the test tube in Saya's hand. The blonde paladin felt a little familiar with the current situation, but could not find the source.
The ark loses its magic power, crystal dust... in other words, it is a crystal that has extremely high absorption capacity for magic power.
With a little speculation, Loranda asked for the test tube from Saya and then tried to inject some fighting spirit.
The churning black dust was like a shark smelling blood, and immediately absorbed the Dou Qi injected by the Paladin. At this point, Lorenda could roughly determine that these crystal dusts were extremely similar to the Wilderness Case recorded in the Radcliffe family, and it had extremely high immunity to magic and Dou Qi.
Hesitantly looked at Robzek and Saya. The blonde paladin hesitated whether he would tell the two of them his guesses, he felt a little ridiculous. Although the target of this trip was a crack in the abyss, the followers of the famine evil gods were blocked one after another, which was simply inexplicably strange.
The Grand Sister and the Knight Commander are still discussing, but they do not care what this dust is. The focus of the discussion between the two is on how the next action should be completed.
"The ark is less than one day away from the central vortex."
Robzek pointed to the light curtain, and a map of the Abyss of Anos appeared on the light curtain. Two red and white light spots flashed on the dark map: "The red light spot is the central vortex, because a current south of the far sea is impacting, it is constantly moving towards the northwest of the city, which is where we are. The white light spot is us. Originally, at the relative speed of the two, we could reach its edge at 11 o'clock tonight, but now it is hard to say."
He calculated in his mind for a while, and then continued: "If the speed of the displacement of the large vortex remains unchanged, we will not be able to touch its edge until four o'clock the day after tomorrow... But the possibility is very small, and the impact of the ocean currents cannot remain unchanged."
"We switch to backup energy and sail with the energy of the fusion star?" Sayasi thought for a while and made this suggestion: "These black dust is afraid of the power of the holy light, and it cannot penetrate the positive energy barrier formed by the fusion star's energy. Although the time stopped in place, it was not pushed by the waves. It is proof that it was not proved."
After hearing this suggestion, the Silver Paladin nodded after thinking for a while: "You can try... but without the energy of the fusion star, who will support the defense barrier? It consumes a lot of energy. We don't even know the true body of the enemy. If we rashly weaken our own combat power, it will easily fall into the trap of the other party."
"No matter who the enemy is, stop us here, there will definitely be some action."
And just then, a voice came from outside the cabin gate. Joshua opened the door, and behind him, Hei, Hill and Fina also entered one after another. Although the warrior's voice was not loud, it could reach everyone's ears: "Since we are less than one day away from the Central Vortex, the enemy lost our motivation at this time, and we must have tried to solve us on the spot and prevent us from getting close to the abyss crack."
"Jothia." After seeing the warrior, Robzek nodded slightly, and he asked, "What do you think about the current situation?"
As the only two extremely powerful man on this ark, Joshua's suggestion is very important. When faced with the Paladin's inquiry, he was not polite, but directly expressed his guess.
As Lorenda guessed on the side, the warrior pointed out that the true body of the black dust originated from the crystal fragments of the evil god of famine. The reason why it can quickly dissolve the magic power of the ark is precisely because of the desolate power represented by "famine". Now the entire sea area is in a situation similar to the forbidden demon zone. Any magic power will be quickly absorbed as soon as it appears.
This situation is exactly the same as the desolation of the world of Karlis, and is also very similar to the doomsday formed after the appearance of the evil god of natural disasters in the Ilgena world that Loranda has visited.
"Our enemy should be the abyss demon, or the eroding sea beast like a demon dragon in the sea abyss... how could it be related to the evil god of famine?"
After hearing this, Robzek frowned, remembering the strange and powerful crystal monsters he encountered during his last exploration: "Okay, if we just told you that the enemy is the family of the evil gods, what can we do to deal with it?"
He asked the warrior sincerely.
But Joshua curled his lips slightly: "Wait."
Notice the puzzled look of everyone present, the warrior had to explain again: "After all, this is the continent of Mycrov, and the enemy cannot maintain this phenomenon in another world. It is the time for the battle until the other party cannot maintain this state."
After saying that, he took a cup of tea from the table and drank it all. After drinking it, Joshua asked in confusion: "Why is this taste different from before?"
"This is the tea that Nuonuo prepared for us, which is said to be a specialty of her hometown...but, it's that simple?"
Saya looked a little unbelievable, and she murmured in surprise: "Do you just need to wait?"
"No, it's not simple at all." At this time, Fina, who was standing beside her, spoke. The sea dragon, whose human form is a beautiful lady with long blue hair, shook her head and said a little heavy: "This is very similar to the method of prey by some sea beasts to use traps or other means first, so that the prey cannot escape and move, and then slowly eliminate the opponent's strength until it appears and kills the prey."
"Next, the other party will definitely use various means to destroy the power of the ark, that is, our group of people. After a certain level, the enemy behind the scenes will appear and give us the last blow."
Although it was just a guess, Fina's statement was in line with everyone's perception, and Joshua also nodded silently, which was exactly what he wanted to say.
With his eyes fixed on the light curtain, Robzek's thinking did not condense on it. He was recalling his previous experiences when the ark approached the central vortex.
The first time I explored the Abyss of Anos, the ark deviated from the route due to the impact of a large number of sea beasts, and finally returned due to insufficient supplies.
During the second exploration, the cabin leaked due to accidental collision, and he had to return.
During the third exploration, I encountered a large number of crazy flying dragons attacks on the way. I fought for three consecutive days. In addition, the weather was too bad, 70% of the crew members were extremely tired and physically discomfort, and had no choice but to return.
The fourth exploration was the closest to success. Because the previous explorations killed a large number of sea beasts, and the mad dragon had all gone to block the sky above the Holy Mountain, the journey was very smooth. But just as we were about to approach the vortex at the center of the Abyss, we were attacked by three strange monsters with great strength. Because of the sudden lack of any defense, the ark was almost sunk. In order to protect the ark, Robzek and others fought with the monsters, they finally relied on self-destructing the holy light wheel to barely escape.
The fifth time, this exploration, was very smooth along the way. With the addition of Count Radcliffe, the Sea Abyss Demon Dragon, which was originally considered a big trouble, was killed in less than half an hour. Even if he encountered the three weird monsters again, everyone would have the power to fight, but now this situation is beyond everyone's expectations.
"Is it going to fail again?"
Robzek murmured unwillingly that the decisive battle between the Seven Gods Church and the Five Colored Dragon Clan is about to come. At that time, if the mission of the Time is not completed, their actions will be very embarrassing. Even if Pope Eagle supports them to continue exploring, there will be no extra resources for the church.
What's more, the Silver-haired Paladin is not the kind of person who can still explore the Abyss of Anos when the church is in trouble. Even if he is scolded by the Pope, he will return to the Holy Mountain and fight against the Crazy Dragon with his comrades.
The fifth exploration was the last time for him. Even if the church defeated the Five Colored Dragon Clan, the holy mountain after the war would inevitably require a long period of repair and reconstruction. At that time, the exploration of the Abyss of Anos would undoubtedly be shelved indefinitely, and it would be possible to restart at least ten years later.
Suddenly, outside the cabin, the crew members' uneasy screams came not far away. The sound did not decrease as time went by, but became louder and more nervous.
"There is something." Hill frowned. He opened the door immediately and walked towards the ark where the sound came: "I'll go and see."
Fina followed the elf boy, and Joshua also walked out of the door with a look of anticipation. Behind him, the three church members looked at each other, sorted out their equipment, and walked out together.
Outside the cabin, on the deck of the Time.
Many crew members who were trying to ‘repair’ the magic facilities were screaming and running back to the cabin. They didn’t know that the magic facilities stopped operating just because the energy was sucked dry. They thought that some structures were damaged. They were strictly selected and finally came to the Times with no doubt full of courage, otherwise they would not have come out of the cabin to try repairs in huge waves and heavy rain. But now, they were obviously frightened.
Everyone walked through the panicked crew and came to the deck. They quickly understood why the crew was so scared.
In the rain, the strong wind carried huge waves and slapped back and forth on the holy light runes on the giant ship's body. The dark mist enveloped the entire giant ship, imprisoning the inactive temple ark like a cage.
In the black fog, a strange cry came, and countless gray shadows rushed from the fog. With the whistling through the air, the gray shadows revealed their true body. They were extremely thick tentacles covered with sharp teeth. They broke through the fog and slapped at the ark hard. As the magic array on the top of the ark was operated, pieces of white hexagons formed a barrier to accurately block each tentacle, making a dull collision sound.
After these tentacles collided with the barrier, they immediately dissipated, turning into black dust in the sky, melting into the mist, and the white barrier immediately became much dimmed, as if a lot of energy had been taken away.
"What the hell are these?"
Robzek jumped over everyone, frowned and stretched out his hand, and a silver holy light shot out from his fingertips, cutting off a tentacle. But after the tentacle was cut off, it immediately disintegrated into dust in the sky. There was no doubt that these moves were made up of crystal dust that could absorb magic.
Joshua also didn't recognize these things. Although they were undoubtedly a kind of god of desolation, he was not an encyclopedia. How could he know such an enemy he had never seen before?
However, the warriors have systems.
