There are 10 Dreadscale Priestesses tracking Mira Farr.
After Mira Far flew high into the sky, the group of horrorscale priestesses entered a state of invisibility.
They blend in with the surrounding water.
So did the hundreds of sea snakes around them.
Li Nuo rubbed his chin and felt that although things were a bit tricky, overall the risks were controllable.
The Dreadscale Priestess has the "Heart of the Siren", which makes her immune to the negative effects of most psychic spells, and her "psychic health bar" is also very long.
They have mastered various long-range spells such as "Vicious Water Arrow" and "Poisonous Tornado".
As long as Mira Far flies high enough, she can still avoid attacks from underwater.
Li Nuo used "telepathy" to tell Mira Far to fly higher.
His reminder just happened to help the other party avoid the "Vicious Water Arrows" fired by the Dreadscale Priestesses, causing Mira Far to warmly thank him.
When Mira Farr reached an altitude of three thousand meters above the sea, the water arrows fired by the Priestesses of the Terror Scale became ineffective.
The magic arrow containing dark green poison had just flown halfway before it hung low, drew an arc in the air, and landed on the sea.
Mira Far cheered in her heart, celebrating that she was about to escape.
Li Nuo reminded:
"Don't let your guard down, Mira. The group of sea monsters haven't left. They seem to be particularly concerned about you and have been following you in the water below you."
"Yes! Sir!" Mira Far speeded up slightly, and suddenly crossed the boundary line of sub-sea area No. 13 and arrived at sub-sea area No. 14.
"Sir, I'm going to try to open the portal."
After Mira Far flew forward for a certain distance, she transformed from the dark red molten core back into a human being, raised her wand and pointed upward.
The dark red stars in the starry sky flickered, seemingly in response to her transmission request.
But the next second, ten fear-scaled priestesses rushed out of the sea and screamed high into the sky:
"Chirp chirp chirp!!"
A piercing scream with an extremely weird rhythm.
Dark green magic light waves shot out from the sea surface, spanning a vertical drop of three thousand meters in an instant, and swept across Mira Far's figure.
This light wave was not lethal, but it penetrated her magic shield, causing her to lose her center of gravity, her body swayed, her eardrums bulged, and her eyes were bloodshot.
The steps to open the portal were interrupted.
Mira Far groaned in pain, and her body turned into brilliant fireworks and exploded.
The fireworks flew around like a flock of frightened birds, bursting out of dark green light waves, gathering a hundred meters away, and transformed into the figure of Mira Farr again.
"These sirens seem to be particularly persistent. There is something about you that attracts them."
Li Nuo's voice sounded in Mira Far's heart:
"Don't open the portal yet, just fly to the place I direct. I will pick you up halfway and block the Kraken for you."
"Yes sir," Mira Farr murmured in response. It was obvious that the siren scream she had just experienced had left her in a trance.
She steeled herself, concentrated her attention, turned into a dark red molten core again, and flew in the direction pointed by her "telepathy".
Oh, it's so frustrating. It's really frustrating for a seven-ring flame combat wizard to be at sea.
The sea water itself is a natural barrier to protect the sea monster, and can resist most fire energy for the sea monster.
Because of this, Mira Farr had no desire to resist when faced with the sea monster huddled under the sea.
She knew very well that her fire spells would make it almost impossible to harm the Kraken in the water.
Before she became an eighth-ring wizard and stepped into the holy throne, she was unable to create a temporary flame sub-plane on the sea, and could only be passively beaten.
Now, facing the relentless pursuit of the underwater siren, she can only place her hope in the Holy Spirit Wizard.
But how should the holy psychic wizard help her?
The fact that Kraken is immune to most psychic spells is not a secret among the high-level combat wizards.
In this case, does the mysterious Holy Spirit Wizard have any good ideas?
Mira Far couldn't help but worry about the prospect of her escape.
But after a flight that was occasionally attacked by sirens, her worries were swept away by the dark clouds that appeared on the horizon.
It was a black cloud entrenched higher up, with a diameter of more than a kilometer according to visual inspection, and faintly flashing bright blue thunder.
It appeared on Mira Far's flight path.
The closer you get to it, the more you can feel the amazing lightning energy inside it.
Mira Far stared at this sudden dark cloud warily.
Just as she was about to draw an arc in the air and bypass the dark clouds, she heard the gentle voice of the holy psychic wizard.
"That dark cloud is my summon. Don't worry about it hurting you. You continue to fly forward and count silently in your mind for 30 seconds. After the silent count is over, open the portal. My dark cloud will help you block the sea monster in the water. .”
Mira Farr was slightly startled, confused as to why a holy psychic wizard could master huge thunder and lightning energy.
But she did not ask inappropriately:
"Yes, sir. I am now counting down to 30 seconds. 30, 29, 28..."
Li Nuo was listening to Mira Far's countdown while controlling his own thunder clouds in the magic yacht.
A dozen dim meta-reactors floated around him.
The thundercloud that appeared in Mira Far's field of vision was summoned on the spot by Li Nuo using the "Thunder Cloud Technique".
With the "Tracking Marker" present, Leiyun demonstrated its proper beyond-visual-range combat capabilities.
Li Nuo accurately controlled the thunder clouds to fly toward Mira Far from a distance of hundreds of kilometers.
At the moment when Mira Far counted down to 5 seconds, Lei Yun successfully reached the area diagonally above the opponent.
Counting down to 3 seconds, Mira Far reduced her flying speed, drew out her wand, and prepared to open the portal.
At the same time, the Kraken underwater noticed her actions.
10 Terrorscale Priestesses sprang out from under the sea, raised their inverted triangular heads, and stared at the prey's every move.
Counting down for one second, Mira Farr pointed her wand at the dark red stars in the night sky, trying to open the portal.
The 10 horror-scaled priestesses opened their mouths and were about to let out terrifying screams.
They noticed the dark clouds in the sky and even noticed the lightning in the clouds.
Their screaming movements paused, and they hurriedly summoned a large water curtain from the sea to block the dark clouds and themselves.
This act of on-the-spot self-defense delayed the screaming action by half a second, but it built a seawater barrier to resist the attack of the dark clouds.
at this time!
"Crack!!"
A huge thunder and lightning with a thickness of 100 meters passed by Mira Farr a thousand meters away. The extremely violent thunder and lightning power stirred up strong winds, making her red dress rustle, and also illuminated her absent-minded and confused eyes. Dull face.
Huge lightning pierced the night sky and struck the sea with a bang.
Dirty sea water is a natural conductor!
It is the nemesis of fire spells, but an excellent companion for lightning spells!
Even in the face of the seawater barrier, the huge lightning did not stop its indomitable pace!
"Pfft~~"
The 10 horror-scaled priestesses and the sea snakes around them were as vulnerable as the seawater barrier. They were instantly detonated by the powerful lightning, exploding into pieces of foul-smelling blood flowers on the sea surface.
The excess lightning energy turned into countless electric snakes, swimming quickly in a small area of sea water, lighting up the dark sea surface, and finally disappeared without a trace due to exhaustion of energy.
It was only then that the remains of the Kraken, which had been burnt black by electricity, fell from the sky, raining black blood full of burnt smell on the sea.
Li Nuo activated "Psychic Vision" and took a look at the situation below the sea surface. There were no traces of sea monsters or sea snakes there.
Li Nuo calmly said using "telepathy":
"I have eliminated all the sea monsters and sea snakes that were tracking you. You are safe now, but I still recommend that you teleport away. There seems to be something on you that is attracting the sea monsters, and I am worried that there will be more sea monsters. Teleport as soon as possible. Get out of here to ensure your safety."
Mira Far raised her wand and stared blankly at Dark Cloud, which had shrunk by more than half.
It took a long time before she came back to her senses under Li Nuo's reminder:
"Yes, yes, sir. You are right. I have to teleport away quickly, otherwise the sea monster will appear again."
Mira Far raised her peak and took a deep breath:
"Thank you again, sir. Please be sure to meet me when I arrive at the Deep Sea Branch. I want to thank you in person."
"I'll let Selena arrange it." Li Nuo responded calmly, showing his strength.
Mira Far looked up at the dark red stars in the sky, stretched her wheat-colored neck, and recited the spell to open the portal.
The dark red star enlarged several times and turned into a huge snake head burning with blazing fire.
Mira Far's figure turned into a red stream of light and penetrated into the mouth of the huge snake head.
Half a second later, there was no more Mira Far on the sea, and the flaming snake heads in the night sky turned back into dark red stars.
"Phew~ It's finally done."
Li Nuo breathed a long sigh of relief and dispersed the thunder clouds.
He looked at Dinasi who was looking at the dimensional reactor curiously and said with a smile:
"Mira Farr is out of trouble. Let's go back."
"Okay~" Dinas reached out and poked the dim meta-reactor:
"What is this?"
Li Nuo drove the magic yacht to the north and explained casually:
"Oh, this thing, it is an energy-shaping magic creation that I researched. It can provide me with lightning energy."
As a witch of the resurrection branch of the death system, Dinas didn't know much about the evocation system.
She nodded her head as if understanding, and looked at Li Nuo with eyes full of admiration:
"You can also use plasticity magic... No wonder you injured yourself with electricity last time..."
Li Nuo gently stroked the opponent's long hair and put away the elemental reactor whose structural value had bottomed out:
"When we settle down, I will make some unique magic props for you. This way, when you act with me in the future, you will have sufficient self-protection capabilities. I will not be like Pulin, in the name of protecting you. , turning you into a monster."
"Yeah!" Dinasi held Li Nuo's palm, placed her cheek in his palm and pressed her tightly against it.
"Meow~" the Snowwing cat looked at the warm host and hostess and called out.
Its figure flickered for a moment, and when it reappeared, there was an extra letter in the envelope.
Li Nuo opened the envelope and looked at it.
The letter was from Selena.
She told Li Nuo that Mira Far had arrived at the Deep Sea Branch safely and was asking her about the "Holy Psychic Wizard".
Li Nuo thought for a while and wrote a reply.
He asked Selina to keep it a secret for the time being, and when he went back, he would naturally talk to Mira Far in detail.
After the letter was sent, Li Nuo received a system message.
【Notice! 】
[Your "Tracking Marks No. 13 to No. 20" were attacked by "Deep Sea Forbidden Technique". 】
[Your "Tracking Markers No. 13 to No. 20" have been destroyed. 】
The Kraken in sub-sea area No. 13 started to take action.
The destroyed "tracking mark" was used by Li Nuo to observe the No. 13 sea area.
Li Nuo narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at the porthole at the stern of the ship, and threw out a new "tracking mark."
The magic vision jumped continuously, and he successfully saw the scene of sea area No. 13.
A huge whirlpool that seemed capable of destroying the world occupied the entire No. 13 sea area.
The ships staying in that sea area were dragged away by the whirlpool like laundry in a washing machine.
Dark green light filled the sky above the sea, suppressing all sounds and energy fluctuations within the No. 13 sub-sea area.
The magical mechanical ship and the wizards were sucked into the seabed by the whirlpool.
Except for the small and medium-sized wizard force fleet and Mira Far who left first, no other family fleet escaped.
This earth-shattering scene only lasted five minutes.
After the last magical mechanical ship was ruthlessly swallowed, the whirlpool gradually subsided, the sea breeze returned to a friendly atmosphere, and the dark green light above the sea faded and dissipated.
The sea area on No. 13 returned to deathly silence, with no more waves.
The deep sea is really dangerous for land creatures.
Even if the ships and wizards dragged to the bottom of the sea could withstand the huge water pressure, they would never be able to escape the siege of four thousand Siren soldiers.
The dark green light of the "Deep Sea Forbidden Technique" even blocked the escape route for the wizards to open the portal and leave.
The portal is a means of traveling through sub-dimensional space.
The communication method of the magic messenger also relies on jumping to the secondary plane.
The wizards can't open the portal, so the magic messenger naturally can't send the letter to the "messenger plane".
Various factors are intertwined, and the success rate of wizards' escape is almost zero.
Li Nuo shook his head secretly and wrote a letter to Selina, asking if the Deep Sea Branch had received a request for help.
As expected, Selena answered in the negative.
Not a single family fleet sent a request for help to the Deep Sea Branch.
Li Nuo closed his "mental vision" and focused on driving the magic yacht.
He also did not forget to observe the surrounding situation, always using "sense enhancement" and "mental vision" to be on guard against sudden attacks from under the water.
After sailing continuously for ten hours, the magic yacht arrived at the inner circle of the Suman Islands the next morning.
Li Nuo and Dinas have "powerful energy" in their bodies, so they don't need to rest for the time being.
He sent Dinas back to the stone house, and then went to Selina's study to meet her.
"What happened in sub-sea area No. 13 of Xingluo Sea last night? Jarvis. I waited for most of the night, but I didn't even receive a letter asking for help."
Selena asked as she brought hot tea.
Li Nuo picked up the hot tea and took a sip before responding:
"The sea monsters on the seabed jointly cast the "Deep Sea Forbidden Technique". This spell dragged all the wizards and ships in sub-sea area No. 13 to the bottom of the sea a thousand meters deep. It also prevents wizards from opening portals and sending letters. I was probably the only witness to last night's disaster. "
Selena frowned and looked worried:
"You mean that none of the banquet participants, including Joksim of the Mantas family, were able to escape? And no letters for help were sent out?"
"Yes." Li Nuo nodded:
"I know that it is difficult for people who have not seen the "Deep Sea Forbidden Technique" to believe these things. But it is what it is. "
"The "Deep Sea Forbidden Technique"... can not only drag ships, but also block teleportation and magic messengers... Siren actually has this kind of magic in his hands..." Selina rubbed her brow in distress.
"Not all sea monsters can cast this kind of spell, Selena." Li Nuo said:
"Do you still remember the regular units of the Siren that I mentioned to you? The regular units of the Siren that I saw last night were the Dreadscale Vanguard, the Queen's Favorite and the Dreadscale Priestess. The Queen's Favorite united with a thousand Dreadscale Pioneers to cast spells , and then cast the "Deep Sea Forbidden Technique" covering the sea area No. 13. Ordinary pirates don't have this ability. They are just slave soldiers of the Kraken Kingdom. "
Li Nuo called up the information deconstructed last night in his mind.
In the memory fragments of the Queen's Beloved, the intention of the Siren Kingdom's move is revealed.
The truth was cruel, but Li Nuo still decided to tell Selena everything to help the other party establish the proper psychological defense.
"Here's the thing, Selena." Li Nuo sat up straight, organized his words and said:
"I told you before that for a long time, the main enemy of the Siren Kingdom has been the shadow creatures that poured into the seabed from the ancient Lomi continent, not the human wizards of the Suman Islands."
"Yes, you mentioned this to me last time." Selena looked sad.
Li Nuo continued:
"The Kraken cannot completely defeat the shadow creatures, but it can still be done to keep them out. This requires the Kraken to build a strong defense line at the southern border of the kingdom. Queen Estano intends to strengthen the southern border of the kingdom. The queen’s domain requires many, many sacrifices.”
Selina followed Li Nuo's thoughts:
"So, the Siren Queen sent her own Siren army to rob Xingluohai's treasure-hunting fleet?"
"That's right." Li Nuo's words made Selena's worry intensify:
"The evil sacrifice hosted by the Siren Queen will be held in more than a month. In order to obtain enough sacrifices as soon as possible to ensure that she can obtain sufficient power in this sacrifice ceremony, the Siren Queen will come from the southern front. A small number of Siren soldiers were drawn out to replace the slave soldiers who had robbed human wizards in the past. What happened this time in sub-sea area No. 13 of Xingluo Sea will be the starting point of a series of subsequent events."
Silence fell in the study room.
Selena seemed to have foreseen a series of tragedies in the next more than a month, and she felt a deep sense of powerlessness in her heart.
Indeed, the deep sea is equivalent to a restricted area for human wizards, not to mention that there are powerful sea creatures like sea monsters squatting under the water.
Li Nuo looked at Selena's frowning expression and sighed silently in his heart.
In fact, what the Siren is about to do is far more sinister than Selena imagined.
However, Li Nuo couldn't explain the origin of the information to the other party for the time being, so he could only try to be more serious.
Li Nuo looked around and glanced around:
"Where is your brother Ronco Pomida?"
Selena sighed dullly:
"After he handed over Hido's work to Tailin, he returned to the sea to monitor Shenyu Island. Tailin is my sister, my father's sixth child. After Hido left, she became the school administrator. Vice-President."
"Shenyong Island is a cover, Selina." Li Nuo said:
"That is the bait used by the Kraken Kingdom to attract the main combat force of the Deep Sea Branch. I am worried that Longke will be attacked by the Kraken soldiers. You should persuade him to return to the Deep Sea Branch. As long as he has passed this most difficult month, , the Siren Queen will be unable to complete the evil ritual because of insufficient sacrifices, and will be forced to focus on the endangered southern border of the kingdom. For at least three to five years, she will be unable to mobilize the Siren soldiers to attack the Suman Islands ”
"Really? Jarvis..." Selena's eyes showed a little more hope.
Li Nuo nodded slowly:
"That's right. Don't feel pessimistic. The situation of the Siren Kingdom is worse than you think. In a sense, the Suman Islands are lucky. The Whirlpool Continent and the Siren Kingdom in the south have become an isolated shadow. biological barrier.
"Unless the Kraken Kingdom falls, the shadow creatures of Gulomi Continent will not affect the Suman Islands. With the Kraken Kingdom supporting it in the south, the Suman Islands will have enough time to replace the metal products and welcome prosperity. .”
Selina believed 100% in what Li Nuo said.
Her complexion improved a little, and she said thoughtfully:
"In this case, I know what to do. I will try to persuade various wizarding forces to suspend ocean trade for at least two months. I will also persuade Longke to come back."
Li Nuo snapped his fingers:
"Very good. I'm glad to see that you haven't been crushed by the pressure from the Siren Kingdom. I'm going to do my own thing now. As soon as tomorrow, I can bring the non-metallic ore distribution maps of the four islands. About the day after tomorrow , I will meet with Mira Far, and you can help me make arrangements then."
"Okay, leave it to me."
There were a few more letters beside Selina, brought by her magical messenger.
She took out one letter and read it, her expression slightly changed:
"Wait a minute, Jarvis, don't leave yet."
"What's wrong?" Li Nuo stopped leaving and turned around to look over.
"Joxim of the Mantas family has returned to the islands." Selina handed over the letter in her hand with "Wizard's Hand":
"Not only is he back, but other important human wizards are also back."
Li Nuo's heart moved slightly.
With the order from the Siren Queen, the group of Siren soldiers began to carry out the next phase of the plan.
