Chapter 470: The Mermaid King's Treasure [Part ]

Although general mysterious items have spirituality.

But once the spirituality is exhausted.

Professionals need to actively inject spirituality, or wait a long time to slowly recover.

It is simply impossible to absorb the spiritual energy from the surroundings so quickly like this.

And there is.

Hu Qi could clearly sense that this sword was not a dead object.

It was as if the sword was another limb of his.

However, he did not interfere.

Just watching this scene quietly.

soon.

The heightened feeling faded.

The originally blurred words on the panel became clear again.

[Career Path: God Slayer]

[Sequence Eight: The Ten Thousand Slayers△ (Mastered swordsmanship, able to wield swords and weapons with ease, physical fitness increased tenfold, erasing all alien supernatural properties in the body to supply itself.

Feature 1: [Eye of Tempered Blade] can see through weapon weaknesses and action weaknesses.

Feature 2: [Blood Rage] The sword's sharpness increases temporarily after drinking blood.

Feature 3: [Sword Heart Psychic] The mind is like still water, reflecting a clear mirror, able to see through the enemy's moves before they are launched.

The three-foot-long sword is originally a dead object, but once its spirituality is born, it is like a spring bud breaking through the soil, containing infinite potential for creation.

Feature 4: [Slash] As a being who has swung the sword tens of millions of times, when it swings the sword to slash, it can burst out double the lethality and has a certain degree of magic-breaking power.

(Advanced Sequence Seven, Blood Swordsman, Advanced Ceremony Requirements: Slaughter a hundred professionals, and use their extraordinary blood to complete the baptism of the Blood Swordsman!)]

……

[Modified value: 112797 (1%)]

The modification value consumed 450 points.

At this moment, he has successfully advanced to the Sequence 8 Ten Thousand Slayers.

The sequence information has changed significantly compared to before.

The strength of the body enhancement increased from three times to ten times.

In addition, one of the characteristics, the Eye of Tempered Blade, has been strengthened again, with the ability to see through the weaknesses of movements.

Feature 2 has not changed much.

Characteristic three has the largest change.

From the original clear sword heart, it has become the current spiritual sword heart.

It also gave "Dusk" a hint of spirituality, allowing it to grow and become stronger along with itself.

This is also the reason why this Dusk Sword can actively absorb spirituality.

This situation is also normal.

This is the characteristic of the God Slayer, he needs a long sword to exert his full strength.

Some other individual professions also need to be equipped with weapons.

However, as far as Hu Qi knows about the professional paths in this world, there is no example of one being able to grow with one's own weapons or mysterious items.

Maybe, but very few.

Generally, professionals spend secret spirit silver to hire someone to make it, or they take a part-time job similar to an alchemist and make it by themselves.

Besides.

This time, there is an additional slashing feature.

It allows him to exert double the strength when slashing, and even has a hint of magic-breaking properties.

In general, the improvement in one's own strength is not small, even exaggerated.

Think of this.

He gripped the hilt of the sword with five fingers and swung the sword forward again!
laugh--!
This time, the sound of the sword cutting through the air was particularly sharp.

Suddenly, a silver-white crescent-shaped sword energy took shape and shot out like a meteor.

Ten meters away, a tree as thick as a bucket broke with a loud noise.

The sword's force was so powerful that it broke the tree trunk on the spot. The remaining force even broke the bark into pieces, and wood chips flew like snowflakes.

The accumulated snow fell down, stirring up a white mist in the silent forest.

When the dust settled, Hu Qi walked forward slowly.

The cut on the broken tree trunk was so smooth that it was shocking, with only a layer of bark as thin as a cicada's wing barely connecting it.

The power of this sword is far greater than before.

At this moment, his sword-drawing speed has reached eighty swords per second, more than twice as fast as before.

When the sword broke through the air, one could even hear a slight whistling sound.

You must know that under normal circumstances, without the help of extraordinary power, such as the blessing of internal energy.

If one wants to stimulate sword energy solely through physical speed, one must strike at least a hundred swords per second.

In other words, it is possible to cut out sword energy only when the speed is close to one-third of the speed of sound.

The reason why we can do this.

Naturally, it comes from Hu Qi's control over his body and his experience in martial arts.

At the moment of slashing with the sword, he shook his wrist extremely, causing the sword blade to produce high-frequency vibrations at the moment of the slash, forcibly compressing the air to form a vacuum slash!
The sword is not fast, but sharp. The ultra-high-speed vibration allows the blade to cut through steel. His slash hit the critical point and split the air!
The sword energy just now was the perfect embodiment of this unique way of exerting force.

suddenly.

His movements suddenly stopped.

Look towards the shadow under the eaves on one side.

next second.

A figure slowly emerged from the darkness.

The man who came was none other than the cowboy Dick, who had been controlled by Huqi and had sown the fire of sin.

Although his cultivation level is only Sequence Eight.

But Dick's intelligence network was extremely well-informed.

Hu Qi was able to accurately track those professionals before.

It all depends on the information provided by the other party.

The investigation into the Silver Demon never implicated him.

After all, the abilities demonstrated by the other party are far from his true strength.

As for the doubts about eye color?
It's even more nonsense.

This eye color is not rare in this world.
Moreover, for professionals,

Changing your eye color is a piece of cake.

maybe.

This is exactly the maze deliberately set up by the other party.

"Master, in three days, Night Crow Harbor will experience the sea retreat that occurs once every five years.

The treasure of the Mermaid King is about to be revealed.

The 'Round Clock' asked me to inform you that they would like to invite you to go with them."

Dick's gaze lingered briefly on the sword in Hu Qi's hand.

Then he quickly lowered his head.

As the time goes.

The sense of oppression that Hu Qi brought to him was increasing day by day.

Now, the moment I saw Hu Qi.

He even had a terrible intuition.

The opponent only needs one sword to kill him on the spot.

No, this is no illusion.

The Shadow Path he was walking on also had a certain bonus in terms of perception.

Plus Hu Qi's undisguised aura.

All this shows that Hu Qi's strength has been improved again.

This speed is simply shocking.

However, even if I knew.

He didn't dare to have any thoughts.

Because during this period of time, Hu Qi planted several tricks on him.

Each one could easily take his life.

It is almost impossible to remove these methods unless there are high-level professionals willing to take action.

"The sea is retreating..."

Hu Qi's eyes moved slightly.

these days,

In addition to secretly operating as the 'Silver-faced Devil'.

On the surface, he disguised himself as an ordinary Sequence Nine Arsonist and infiltrated the professional circle of Yuanzhong.

After all, in order to purchase a manor with his status, he needed a suitable identity.

And a formal professional can undoubtedly solve this problem perfectly.

These circles do not have strong constraints on their members.

It is more like a public communication platform.

In this process.

He also learned one thing.

I don't know when it started.

A rumor has spread among professional circles.

Somewhere in the sea near Night Crow Harbor, the 'Treasure of the Mermaid King' is hidden.

This mermaid king does not refer to a kind of extraordinary creature, but a professional sequence.

Furthermore, it is a sequence road as high as Sequence Five.

When one’s strength reaches Sequence Six, it actually means that one has left the realm of low-level professionals and reached the level of high-level professionals.

Sequence five, as a lord-level professional.

Needless to say, it is very powerful.

Even if we look at the entire professional circle of the Tianlong Federation, the number of professionals who have reached this level can be counted on one’s fingers.

No matter where you are, you are definitely at the top.

In general.

Professionals of this level can only be found in the Federation or the Church of the Seven Gods.

For ordinary professionals, the career paths they take are mostly incomplete, and the upper limit of the advancement path is around Sequence 7 at most. The shocking effect of this news is self-evident.

Logically speaking, this kind of news should have been blocked, but I don't know who leaked it.

But whatever.

For a suspected sequence five, the lord's treasure.

No professional can refuse.

"Just say I'm preparing for the advanced level and I don't have time."

Hu Qi said calmly.

"Yes, Master!"

Dick bowed and accepted the order.

Afterwards, Hu Qi confessed some more things.

The other person's figure disappeared quietly into the thick shadows behind him like ink dropping into the snow.

Only a series of fading footprints remained on the snow, which were soon wiped out by the howling cold wind.

……

Three days is not long.

Everything is normal in Night Crow Harbor.

But in the dark, there are undercurrents.

A large number of professionals entered Night Crow Port from all directions.

These people have only one goal.

That is for the fifth-level mermaid king treasure.

after all.

The treasure of a fifth-level, lord-class professional.

Even if they cannot get the complete sequence, it will be of great benefit to them if they can get one or two extraordinary items.

and.

What if? If he could obtain the extraordinary path to Sequence 5, he would be able to ascend to heaven in one step.

for this temptation.

There is no professional who is not moved.

soon.

It's approaching evening.

The cold wind was howling and the lead-gray clouds were so low that they seemed within reach.

The ground was covered with thick snow, and the roofs, streets, and masts of ships were all covered with a pale velvet blanket.

The wooden pier in the harbor was covered with a thin layer of ice.

Suddenly, the originally anchored ship tilted to one side and finally ran aground in the mud. The ropes were stretched taut and it groaned under the heavy load.

Look down.

The large area of ​​sea water mysteriously receded, revealing the seabed below.

Wet sand, rugged rocks, scattered shells and decaying shipwrecks.

In the sky, seagulls circled restlessly, making sharp cries.

Looking into the distance, as far as the eye can see, the sea level is dropping rapidly, as if being swallowed by an invisible giant mouth.

This is a shocking scene.

Naturally, it attracted the attention of some interested people at the first moment.

……

Night Crow Harbor.

He is one of the seven gods, the lord of the sea. The territory of Taidros.

The Church of Poseidon here stands at the highest point of the port city. The gray-white stone walls have been eroded by sea breeze and salt spray, leaving mottled patterns, as if they were the scales of an ancient sea beast from the depths of the sea.

Its spire does not point to the sky, but leans slightly forward.

There are two huge stone statues of sea monsters on both sides of the main entrance.

And strong guards.

now.

In the deepest part of the hall.

An old man in a dark blue robe and holding a wooden staff lowered his head.

He was praying, muttering in obscure Guberim language.

"Great Lord of the Ocean, you are the master of storms', 'shepherd of sharks'...

We call upon your name with awe.

Praise your boundless power and mercy!
You take the tides as your breath and the abyss as your temple.

The storm is your trumpet, the calm is your grace.

......"

At this moment, there is a huge statue directly in front of it.

The head has no clear features, only a face made up of swirling lines.

If you stare at it, you will feel like you are drowning and suffocating.

Its torso is covered with patches of dark blue scales, but beneath each scale there is a faint relief of various struggling human figures emerging, as if they were imprisoned in it for eternity.

It has six arms.

The one at the top held a black trident.

The two arms in the middle are crossed over the chest, holding a lime-colored bead.

The last two sank to the bottom of the ground, seemingly pulling at some invisible chain.

now.

The priest who accompanies this one prays.

The statue that originally looked like a dead object began to change.

The color of the gray bead held by the two arms in the middle began to fade.

A dark blue bead was revealed.

after that.

A beam of light shot out and landed on the old priest's brow.

After a while.

The old man opened his eyes.

There was a hint of fanaticism on his face.

Look at the statue again.

At this moment, the statue remains.

In his hand, there is still a gray stone bead.

It seemed as if everything that happened just now was just an illusion.

At this time.

It seemed to have noticed something.

He turned around, revealing a pair of deep blue eyes.

This is an old woman.

But if you look closely, you will find that she is not that old, and more like a young woman.

This sense of contradiction makes people very uncomfortable.

She looked up somewhere.

There was a flash of coldness in his eyes.

"Mermaid King, Tide Church, damned blasphemer, this time I will catch you all in one fell swoop..."

Before she finished her words, she raised the wooden stick in her hand and tapped the ground lightly, and her figure suddenly turned into a stream of sea water and exploded.

Disappeared in place.

……

Night Crow Harbor, inside the Governor's Mansion.

The cold light from outside the window cut through the darkness in the room.

A man sat still like a mountain, breathing slowly and deeply, his knuckles lightly touching the hilt of his sword, as if he had merged into the shadows.

——Ka!

Suddenly, he opened his eyes.

Looking towards the seaside

"Finally...it showed up?"

The giant sword on his knees hummed and was grabbed by him with one hand.

Stand up and take a step forward.

boom!
The floor was cracked and no one was visible.

Inside the room, the figures disappeared, leaving only the strong wind that broke open the windows and caused the curtains to flutter wildly.

It was like some giant beast had passed by.

...

At the same time, in Night Crow Harbor, all professionals, regardless of what they were doing, put down what they were doing and rushed towards the sea.

Want to find the treasure of the Mermaid King.

Because the time for the sea to recede is limited.

Only six hours.

If you can't find it within this time.

Then it will undoubtedly be more difficult to find.

In this world, the ocean is an extremely dangerous area.

This doesn't just apply to ordinary people.

The same is true for professionals.

Normal times.

Even high-level professionals don't dare to dive into the deep sea rashly.

This is also the reason why we need to wait until the sea recedes.

And this time.

What no one noticed was.

Under the dim sky, a hidden shadow was moving towards the direction of the Church of Poseidon.
