Chapter 119 Lobster Warrior(1/2)
(Second update)
The third update was delivered in the afternoon. I couldn't stay there just now, so I went back to bed first.
---
After returning to the city, the communicator returned to its usable state. Yang Hai immediately told his teammates that he was safe now to avoid worrying, and then waited at General Hesyans. Not long after, Prophet Hertu returned safely with several people from the Second Regiment. Everyone was walking on the water, and they all ran back on the sea water. They were extremely coquettish, which attracted the players doing the mission to watch and discuss.
The captain patted Yang Hai on the shoulder and said nothing, and there seemed to be something that needed to be said more.
After Hertu sent the captain and the others back safely, the expression on his face was not very good. It seemed that the lobster people reminded Hertu of something unhappy or something bad.
Hetu asked Yang Hai to come to the meeting room to discuss it, and asked with concern what Yang Hai had encountered at the bottom of the sea.
There is nothing to hide from this, he told him about his experience.
Hetu looked at Yang Hai helplessly: "poseidon... Why are you always smart in big things and confused in small things? You are a erudite, don't you know Soul-eating Coral?"
...Yang Hai was ashamed, but the second-level eruditionist was just a bit of a slap in his words. Moreover, there are so many books in Calderon, how could he remember it at any time?
"Fortunately, Evans is your main god, otherwise you and the prophet Tidria..." Hertu said and shook his head: "Oh, let's not talk about this anymore, it's fine. Don't go to the Soul-Eating Coral in the future. It's a dead place at the bottom of the sea. There is no wise life willing to provoke those evil creatures. They will not move and will not attack actively. Do you have any ideas about those lobsters?"
The two of them discussed while walking.
"I don't have the idea, but those lobsters must have a great background." Yang Hai said: "I said a few words to the leader of the lobster. They did not use the lobsters' own language, but the mutant demonic language. At that time, I showed weakness to the leader of the lobsters, saying that we came here unintentionally, could we let us leave, but the leader of the lobsters shouted: 'The secret of the abyss will always belong to the abyss! You must die!' and then started fighting. What was the secret he was talking about? Moreover, I don't know what the underwater world is for those lobsters, but according to their language habits, it is definitely not the abyss."
"Why?" Hetu asked blankly: "In fact, it seems appropriate to call the bottomless sea an abyss."
"They are talking about alien demonic words." Yang Hai said affirmatively: "You know, demonic words are very old-fashioned language. In the demonic words, the abyss is the nest of a powerful demon. This power has standards for defining. Generally, the den of a small demon is absolutely impossible to be called an abyss. But what is strange is that what kind of demons live on the bottom of the sea? The ocean is not suitable for the survival of demons. Demons like the world of blood and fire. They like to deceive wars and conspiracies. The quiet and cold ocean and the silent and dark world can only suppress the power of the demons. It's really strange."
Hetu clapped his hands and took Yang Hai's hand and said, "We won't go to the conference hall, come and accompany me to the library."
Yang Hai asked in surprise: "Has the libraries in the Zheshe Islands been established?"
Hetu smiled bitterly and said sadly: "In order to preserve these books, our ancestors made countless efforts. They dug graphite with their hands in that dark place, copied it on the rocks, and re-reprinted it every month, because the accumulated water in the belly of the mountain will soak the stone slabs... We cannot let our ancestors down."
Yang Hai nodded silently.
"See if you can find it." Hertu pointed to a stone room that was more simple than Calderon's private library, saying: "All books are here, so you can also find them together."
"Is there any clue?" Yang Hai asked.
"I remember that our ancestors seemed to have had war with these lobsters a long time ago. It seemed that the demons in the Batto plane invaded the material world." Hetu said: "Not all the indigenous people are united. Many people hope to rely on the power of those demons to obtain what they want. Even the whole clan defected to the demons, and that's what those lobsters are like."
After Hetu finished speaking, he added: "It is probably to find a big book that is a bit old, which tells the invasion of the demon lords in the Barto plane. Anyway, the entire lobster tribe has fallen. As the benefit of the depravity, the demons have given them powerful power, making them become lackeys of the Hell Legion, pawns and warlocks. It seems that the profession of the lobsters started from the lobsters."
After Hetu finished speaking, Yang Hai and him began to search for documents in this small room. Because of the unique skills of erudites, Yang Hai was looking for books much faster than Hertu. In addition, the library of Half-Snake Man was really too small. After two trivial matters, Yang Hai dug out the book.
The description of the matter is similar to what Hetu said, except that the historical records focus on facts, so it seems a bit dry. But such a war at that time, you can imagine how heart-wrenching it was.
After reading the information, Hetu went to find several other leaders to discuss the matter, while Yang Hai stayed in the library and began to think about it alone.
He felt that this matter was definitely worthwhile.
The secret of the abyss, what is the secret of the abyss? What are the lobsters guarding? Why don’t they let others approach the seabed?
What are they afraid of being discovered?
Yang Hai felt a little excited. This was simply an excellent background story in which a copy appeared. Yang Hai knew that thinking this might make him feel a little willing, but sometimes his intuition was still very accurate.
He began to think about the whole thing, took out a piece of parchment paper, and wrote the words "Forgotten Rock" on it - this is the name of the seabed.
The Rock of Forgotten - Yang Hai felt that the name was very meaningful. What did you forget? He circled the word "forgot" with a pen, then took out one from the pile of books he had just picked out on the desk and opened it according to memory.
"The lobsters' betrayal is without warning... The coalition was stabbed by their allies in the back. It was not until a long time later that people knew that the lobsters had fallen before the invasion of the demons of the Barto Hell. No one knew why they defected to the demons of the abyss, so resolutely."
No one has until why they defected to the demons of the abyss, and they turned to the devils so firmly.
Is this the forgotten thing?
This is hard to say, but the historical record of the mainland defense war back then was very detailed, and there were not many doubts about normal wars. However, there seemed to be only one doubt in the war on the Dragon Valley, that is, the reason for the fall of the lobster people. Until today, people do not understand why this is.
The Rock of Forgotten…
Yang Hai took the map of the seabed on the table, and then marked the place where several of his men were attacked by Forgotten Rock.
Then he marked the amazingly large coral bush.
If there is an entrance in front of the copy, then there is a question about this matter.
The monsters in the dungeon are so powerful, how can players get in?
Teams like the Second Group cannot support them for too long, let alone other teams.
Yang Hai put away the map and walked out of the stone chamber.
Suddenly, Yang Hai stopped and asked, "Timi, are you saying that there are usually no creatures in the Soul-Eating Coral Reef that are willing to appear, right?"
"Of course." Tidria said: "Isn't that asking for death?"
"What about the soul-eating coral reef? Will there be creatures willing to live near the soul-eating coral reef?" Yang Hai asked.
"Please, think about it." Tidria said angrily: "There are very few food sources near the Soul-Eating Coral Reef. For hunting issues, how many creatures are willing to live near that horrible thing?"
"Then why do I feel that those lobsters have been living in Forgotten Rock for a long time?" Yang Hai asked Tidria again: "Aren't they worried about their food sources? Or are they too few people in their tribe and they don't need to worry about their food sources at all?"
Tidria asked hesitantly: "You mean?"
"I don't think there is anything unrelated to the two." Yang Hai said firmly: "It's just that we can't imagine it."
-----
So when everyone asked Yang Hai whether to continue the task with them, Yang Hai decisively refused.
"Military, are you going to abandon us?" apm30 asked with a sad face.
"I may have to find clues to the new copy..." Yang Hai said.
"Go, slut, we won't miss you." Milk Tea said immediately: "Go quickly, what are you waiting for here?"
"That's it." The king also said seriously: "Time is money."
Yang Hai shook his head and returned to the Dark Light City directly from the portal with the information he found from the half-snake man.
Although the information that Hertu can provide is precious, he still has to go to Calderon in terms of comprehensiveness and decisiveness. Calderon has been busy dealing with the curse master Deke these days, and has not seen anyone for a long time. However, Yang Hai has the key to his private library, and the appraisers of the Dark Light City Adventurers Guild also know him, so there is no big problem in entering the library.
It's just a pity that this history seems to be really submerged in dust. Yang Hai even asked about the book that talked in the book shelf of Tianzi No. 1, which called himself "Zero", but Zero said he didn't know the place of Forgotten Rock.
If Zero doesn't know, it's really gone. Yang Hai was very helpless and could only let go of this matter for the time being. He felt that the exploration, which was originally smooth, suddenly fell into a deadlock again.
"Timi, do you have any solutions?" Yang Hai asked Tidria.
"I can't say there is no, it's just a bit dangerous." Tidria said.
"Oh?" Yang Hai was excited: "Speak quickly!"
"Do you remember something I told you called the Death Word Potion?" said Tidria.
“…forgot.”
"You are really... after drinking the dream potion, you will die immediately, and then you will continue to survive in the state of your soul." Tidria said.
"Oh! I remembered it." Yang Hai clapped his hands.
"It's that thing!" Tidria said: "We in the material plane are bound by the laws of matter and cannot do many things. But if you enter the soul state, I will cast spells, and we can go back to the past and see what happened at that time from the perspective of the soul."
"Where is the danger?" Yang Hai asked rationally.
"This is a serious violation of the rules." Tidria warned: "We may attract attacks from time hunters and time guards. Don't blame me for not warning you. I don't recommend you to do this. Those time hunters and time guards are simply gods in the hourglass. If they are caught, we will die; no, you will die."
"What about you?" Yang Hai rolled his eyes.
"If I want to run, I will definitely be able to run. But you know nothing about the magic level... Humph." Tidria did not continue: "Don't glare at me, I'm not going to leave you alone. I will go to visit you after reshaping my body."
“What is the chance of us being discovered?”
“One of the 10 violators were found…”
"Timi, you're too cheap." Yang Hai said helplessly: "Can't you come up with a better idea?"
"If there was an absolutely safe way, I would have said it long ago." Tidria said: "You are reading books here, to be honest, it's useless. It's better to refine a few bottles of cat-eye mixtures, enhance your stealth ability, and then go to the Forgotten Rock to explore. If you can find some things left on the ancient battlefield, you might be able to cast spells and see something. This is much more reliable than if you were thinking about it here."
"I'll cast a spell?"
"Of course, you are my disciple, and you are a little diviner. I have no body and cannot use the divination technique. If you don't do it yourself, who are you going to do it?"
Yang Hai was a little helpless, but this was the best method that could be thought of at present, so he could only accept it helplessly.
--------
The effect description of the cat eye mixture is: making your invisibility more difficult to detect, and its actual function is to increase the priority of stealth. The cat eye agent produced by Tidria is definitely a high-quality product. This time it is in the backpack, and it is not very devilish magician's demonic eye vision.
Yang Hai asked General Hesyans? Zheshe to send him to the Forgotten Rock again, and then sneaked immediately and touched the place where he was attacked last time.
Compared to the last time when he suddenly entered the ambush circle, nothing happened when Yang Hai sneaked in and ran in secret. The seabed was still so quiet and beautiful. Yang Hai didn't know how those lobster people were attached to his group and how they quietly completed the sneak attack.
But then Yang Hai thought that maybe the lobsters might communicate with the fish through their shamans, and then discovered the whereabouts of their own people through the eyes of these creatures. After all, the lobsters have lived in the ocean for a long time, and they must have their own means.
However, Yang Hai was very patient. He kept looking for a seaweed shadow with a good vision and kept lurking there invisible.
Since there are certainly people here, it is absolutely impossible to have no clues.
Sure enough, after nearly an hour, the rocks in the caves on the seabed loosened slightly. This loosening failed to escape Yang Hai's super high perception, not to mention that he was always very focused and did not feel distracted at all.
A lobster warrior swam sneakily and came to a place where seaweed was overgrown. Although Yang Hai was not in the same direction, it was not far away. He used a pair of big claws to dig something on the bottom of the sea. Tidria urged: "Go up!poseidon!"
To be continued...
