Wizard Bloodline.

Chapter 257: Deep in the Abyss, the Beauty Shell and the Snail
“My grandfather once told me that a long time ago, a large area of ​​sea centered on the Green Abyss, including the Harbor of Wind, was the kingdom of the Mermaid’s Song.

The sea people rule over everything in the water. Even powerful human wizards have to treat the sea people equally in The Song of Mermaids.

However, one day, a terrible demon suddenly appeared from the depths of the sea abyss. The mermaid song was destroyed overnight, countless sea creatures were slaughtered, and the blood dyed the entire sea abyss green.

Ronan blinked his eyes. He realized that the blood of the sea creatures was green.

According to Chuck's narration, the magic airship the two were riding on quickly sailed into the area of ​​the Green Abyss.

We continued forward along the dark green sea until it was completely dark.

The starry sky above the sea at night is exceptionally clear and bright, setting off the rippling waves on the calm sea surface that looks like frozen jade, giving people a huge sense of peace and tranquility.

A thin mist gradually rose from the sea, and a magical airship with rune light flashing all over its body was moving silently through it.

Ronan stood at the bow, listening to the sound of waves gently lapping at the sea surface. He felt as if he was passing through the long fog of time and arriving in ancient times.

Thinking that somewhere deep under the sea beneath him, there was a huge and ancient lost country buried.

Ronan felt strangely touched. He imagined that in ancient times, under the same starlight and on the same sea, a prosperous and glorious civilization existed, with mermaids singing and caressing the waves.
"grown ups."

A voice interrupted Ronan's thoughts. He turned around and saw Chuck looking at him with bright eyes.

"Can I get off the boat for a moment?

There is a full moon tonight, and there will be many interesting things popping up in the sea. If I am lucky, maybe I can catch a few and give them to you."

Ronan thought about it and said nothing. He casually opened the rune restriction outside the magic airship and let Chuck get off the boat.

"Boom——"

Chuck jumped into the sea, and the splash he made when he entered the water was almost negligible.

On the shore, Chuck looked like just an ordinary, somewhat cowardly fisherman, but once he entered the water, he seemed like a completely different person.

His body was so agile that he seemed to be twenty years younger. The special lung structure and gills on both sides of his cheeks allowed him to breathe freely in the water. Ronan even noticed that when Chuck was in the water, the power generated by the swinging of his limbs was about two to three times more than normal.

“Is this the bloodline of the sea clan?”

At first, Ronan's mental power followed Chuck, and then gradually spread to the deep seabed.

In stark contrast to the tranquility and beauty on the sea surface, the scene beneath the sea is completely different.

No light could penetrate into the water. It was eerily quiet underwater and there were very few fish. It seemed that there was a special energy substance in the sea water that had some kind of hindering and suppressing effect on the wizard's mental power.

Ronan stopped the airship and stared at the sea. A faint white light appeared in his eyes, weaving an eye pattern on his forehead. He tried to use the [Eye of Truth] to explore the truth under the sea.

Under the detection of the [Eye of Truth], Ronan saw that the sea water was filled with a lot of strange black substances. The deeper he went, the more of this black substance there was. In the end, it was like countless worms crowded together, giving people a chilling feeling.

Ronan continued to cast his "gaze" deeper into the abyss. The eye pattern flashing white light on his forehead seemed to be growing over time, becoming more and more complex and realistic.

at some point.

"Om-"

[Eye of Truth] suddenly broke through a certain limit, and the scene in front of Ronan's eyes suddenly became "clear and open".

He seemed to see the outline of a grand but vague building complex, but before he could take a closer look, a huge black shadow suddenly flashed before his eyes.

In an instant, Ronan felt an inexplicable sense of horror and terror in his heart.

He took two steps back suddenly and subconsciously covered his forehead with his hand. The white eye pattern representing the [Eye of Truth] shattered directly, and some tiny pieces of light and blood flowed down through the gaps between his fingers.

"hiss--"

Ronan took a deep breath and looked at the sea level below. His eyes had completely changed.

The legend Chuck told might be true. There might be some extremely terrifying existence hidden under the Green Abyss, which led to the destruction of the once glorious Mermaid Song Sea Clan. The remaining haze has not dissipated until now.

[Eye of Truth] had just broken through to the second level of resonance in the law domain, and had passed a thousand points of master-level proficiency. The surge in power allowed Ronan to "spy" on the incomparably ancient and evil aura that he had just inadvertently seen.

The feeling at that moment was somewhat familiar. Thinking back carefully, it seemed to be very similar to the scene of another alien world space that I saw through the mutated world stone coordinates.

Even Ronan's soul was impacted to a certain extent, and the nine spiritual power crystals in his mind all dimmed.

He subconsciously reached out and touched the place on the back of his right hand where the world stone coordinates were printed. It took him a long time to slowly calm down his turbulent mood.

"No wonder the Green Abyss is considered a forbidden area by the wizards of Qifeng Port. Most people don't dare or want to come here. There are indeed some unknown dangers here. Even a third-level wizard like me needs to be careful."

Ronan thought silently.

The Mermaid Song ruins at the bottom of the Green Abyss, the Ancient Mirror Court ruins, the Mechanical Heart Dwarf Kingdom. These ancient civilizations that once existed in the south but have disappeared or perished one by one, seem to have the same huge black hand controlling everything.

He smelled the scent of ancient conspiracies and secrets buried by the dust of time. He seemed to have grasped something, but he did not dare to go deeper to explore the truth for fear of being swallowed up.

If Ronan had previously had some interest and curiosity in the Mermaid Song ruins, he had now completely given up the idea.

This is not something he can currently access. He now just wants to see the ghost fish as soon as possible, achieve the purpose of his trip, and then leave this mysterious sea area.

"Wow--"

As Ronan was thinking, he heard the sound of water breaking.

Chuck climbed onto the airship, all wet. Without even bothering to wipe the water off his face, he quickly walked up to Ronan and presented the thing he was holding tightly in his arms to Ronan like offering a treasure.

Ronan didn't think that Chuck could fish anything valuable out of the sea, but when he saw what Chuck was holding in his hands, he couldn't help but show a look of surprise on his face.

-

Chuck was holding two fan-shaped shells in his hands. They looked ordinary on the outside, but under the moonlight and starlight, the shells slowly opened, revealing two naked little men inside.

They all looked like girls of fifteen or sixteen years old, with fair skin and good figures. One of them was a little thinner, and they had long seaweed-like hair of red and green respectively.

If you ignore the size of these two scallop men and just look at their appearance, they can definitely be considered as one of the most beautiful women in the world.

The bodies of the two miniature girls were tightly connected to the scallop and unable to move. After seeing Ronan, they were trembling with fear at first, then they crossed their arms and made pleading expressions. When they found that Ronan was indifferent, the two of them actually started singing one after another.

The singing was so beautiful, like the same old song.

While singing, some tiny starlight appeared and surrounded the two people, giving people a hazy and dreamy feeling.

"what is this?"

Ronan looked at the two beautiful girls in scallops with a strange expression, and couldn't help asking Chuck.

"It's Beauty Bay, my lord!"

Chuck also looked excited. "I heard them singing to the moon, so I thought I'd give it a try, but I didn't expect I could find it so easily..."
It is said that those who eat beauty shells alive can obtain eternal youth. However, because they are the favorite pets of the sea god, those who catch and eat them will be cursed by the sea.
Of course, everything is just a rumor, who knows if it is true or not? "

Chuck shrugged nonchalantly.

"Beauty Bay" Ronan chanted the name. The two scallop girls held by Chuck's hands had been blowing the sea breeze for half a day. They were now shivering from the cold, but fear supported them to sing hard, trying to please the "giant" in front of them in this way.

Ronan admitted that he was very interested in this magical gadget.

Of course, it is impossible to eat it raw, and he doesn't have any special hobbies, but it would be nice to take out the beauty shell that can make a beautiful singing voice and use it as a "walkman" when he is bored.

This time, he brought his dust elf Arrietty along. Maybe the three little guys can keep each other company, and the number of his "living beautiful girl figures" can be increased to three.

"What reward do you want, Chuck?"

Ronan gladly accepted the "gift" and asked Chuck in front of him.

"Nothing is needed."

Chuck knelt down in front of Ronan and kissed the deck beneath his feet. "It is a great favor that you are willing to give someone like me a certain amount of respect."

Ronan's eyes flickered, and after thinking for a while, he took out some magic stones from the space ring, as well as some worldly treasures that he had not yet cleared away, and placed them in front of Chuck.

"Take it, Chuck. You deserve it."

Ronan said calmly.

Faced with Ronan's reward, Chuck couldn't refuse. He hesitated for a moment, but just picked out a beautiful gem necklace from the things Ronan gave him, and then pushed all the rest back.

"That's enough, my Lord"

Chuck carefully put the jewel necklace into his arms and whispered, "If I have a chance to go back and give it to Maggie, she will be very happy."

Ronan could guess without asking that the "Maggie" Chuck was referring to was the fat woman he had specially said goodbye to before leaving.

The other party seemed to be doing a job similar to that of a prostitute in the slums. Now Ronan felt from the bottom of his heart that she was really not worthy of Chuck, who had a pure and honest heart.

Perhaps reading what Ronan inadvertently revealed in his eyes, Chuck took the initiative to explain: "Maggie is a very good woman. She is the only one in the whole Qifeng Port who doesn't despise me for who I am."

"Maybe she just wants your money."

Ronan felt that he still needed to remind Chuck, "The baby in her belly may not be yours."

“I hope it’s not mine.”

Chuck smiled and whispered, "That way, 'our' child won't have to become like me in the future. She is really a good woman. She will be willing to live a good life with me. We are a family."

Obviously, for Chuck, the sea blood in his body is a complete curse.

After hearing Chuck's answer, Ronan said nothing more, but said calmly: "You can come back alive, Chuck, I promise."

Chuck kowtowed to Ronan with great respect, then retreated to a corner and took out the potion that the black-haired wizard had given him and applied it on his body bit by bit.

The magic airship continued to move forward. Ronan stood at the bow, controlling the direction of the airship while playing with the two beauty shells.

After studying for a while, the two miniature girls in the scallops fainted one after another due to fear and singing until exhaustion. Ronan could only put them away temporarily and let them have a good rest.

The airship traveled for a while and gradually reached the depths of the Green Abyss.

In fact, not much time had passed, but the moonlight and starlight above our heads had become very dim.

The vast sea surface seemed to be covered with a layer of thick, indissoluble green ink, and the atmosphere gradually became gloomy and weird.

"grown ups."

After the break, Chuck stood up on his own and gave Ronan an inquiring look.

Ronan nodded and said, "Be careful."

Chuck didn't say anything, he just took off most of his clothes, then took out a bone-handled dagger and cut wounds all over his body. Red and green blood flowed quickly.

After doing all this, Chuck jumped out of the airship and fell into the sea with a splash.

Ronan stood coldly at the bow of the airship, with all his mental energy dispersed, closely observing Chuck and the movements in the surrounding sea.

Chuck soaked in the cold sea water, trying hard to push the sea water with his own blood away, and continued to cut more bloody wounds on his body with a dagger.

Seeing his face gradually turning pale, Ronan threw him a bottle of healing potion and collected some of his blood, intending to use it for research in the future.

Time passed minute by minute, and gradually, a strange sea breeze suddenly arose on the sea.

A sound like a baby crying or the sound of a conch shell drifted over from afar.

"coming!"

Ronan's mental power captured several dark shadows in the sea approaching Chuck at an extremely fast speed. He raised his hand calmly, used his mental power to directly pull Chuck out of the sea.

Chuck, who had taken the healing potion, was actually in good condition. After landing on the deck again, his first words were: "Sir, you are too anxious to catch them. It is better to let me continue."

"no need."

Ronan stepped out of the airship, his robe fluttering down to the sea below.

His main purpose was to find out the secret of the ghost fish's burst of vitality in order to improve his skills in compressing the life light ball. As long as he could do this, it didn't matter to him whether he could catch the ghost fish or not.

"Om-"

Ronan lightly touched the sea surface with the tip of his shoe, and a light golden mental force field instantly spread out from his body.

The entire sea surface beneath him immediately pressed down, and heavy waves immediately piled up under the influence of the terrifying mental force, and the void also began to twist layer by layer.

There was no need to cast any spells. Relying solely on mental power, the ghost fish that were attracted by Chuck's blood had been "captured" by Ronan's mental power, and were lifted out of the sea and into the air.

It looks similar to the "roaring fish" he got first, both of which have human-like limbs on the surface of a piranha.

Several ghost fish began to struggle violently the moment Ronan caught them with his mental power. Ronan "saw" very clearly that strong life energy was rapidly gathering in their bodies, like a bomb with a lit fuse that was about to explode.

The next second, it is probably the ghost fish's unique terrifying sonic attack.

Ronan did not dodge, but instead took this opportunity to quickly infiltrate his mental power into the bodies of several ghost fish.

All the structures inside the small fish body were clearly visible under Ronan's powerful mental power.
“Roar—hum—”

Several terrifying sound waves suddenly erupted in the night sky, and the ripples in the void were instantly smoothed out by Ronan's mental force field, causing no harm to him at all. However, huge waves splashed up on the sea surface below.
When all the noise gradually subsided, several ghost fish that had exploded were suspended upright in the air, as if they were completely dead.

At this moment, a strange light appeared in Ronan's eyes.

At that moment, he finally got a glimpse of the secret of the ghost fish.

He saw all of this in the bodies of several ghost fish that had burst into life force—

A strangely shaped, small, broken snail!
