Angel ran all the way and returned to the slope of the trench again. According to the size of that octopus, it is very difficult to get here.
After entering the trench with a width of less than 100 meters, Angel let his soul return to his body. Since there was no time to restore the power of the soul, he knocked a soul bead again to let the soul power slowly recover, and then took Qili with him Swim towards the end of the trench.
In the process, Qili also slowly recovered some strength and was able to act on her own.
However, her face was pale and her lips were a little bluish-colored, making her face look sick.
"Is it really okay to fail the soul challenge?" Angel asked worriedly, "Should I take you away?"
Qili shook her head: "No, I'm basically fine now. It doesn't matter if you fail the soul challenge. If you lose a mother fire, you can capture it again in the future."
Qili said it very easily, but only she knew how difficult it was to capture the mother fire of the Underworld Lamp again.
Seeing Qili's insistence, Angel said nothing more. Instead, he focused on the Qiu Clan that he was holding in his hand. He sensed that the Qiu Clan had long since died, but the body was well protected by the big octopus and showed no signs of death.
I just don’t know what the meaning of this croaker is to the big octopus, and why is it being carried around?
Qi Li also looked over at this time, and took out a portable oil lamp. With the bright firelight, the figures of the Qiu people were clearly illuminated.
This is a male Qiu tribe, and its face is very ferocious, but among the Qiu tribe totems depicted in the original murals, it is already acceptable to human aesthetics.
Its upper body was covered with a somewhat tattered gray linen cloth, and some lines could be vaguely seen on the remaining rags.
Angel thought it was some kind of decorative pattern, but after looking at it, Qili said firmly: "This is a communication symbol, and it should belong to some kind of primitive glyph."
"Let me see what it says." Qili said, magic surging in her eyes.
When Qili read the lines on the cloth with words, Angel showed a happy expression. Fortunately, Qili came to find him, otherwise he would have missed too much information.
If he were traveling alone, these messages would obviously be incomprehensible to his abilities.
This time the Purification Garden obviously tested not only the survival ability and strength, but also the accumulation of the wizard himself, which happened to be Angel's shortcoming.
After a while, Qili rubbed her eyebrows and said in a tired voice: "This is a special prayer for sacrifice, and its meaning is to sacrifice this Qi tribe to a certain creature named Oktubo. The large swathes of text praise the majesty of Oktupo."
Qili translated it briefly.
"According to the description in the text, that big octopus is Oktubo?" Angel said.
"That should be the case." Qili added: "This prayer does not give many clues. At most, I know the identity of the octopus and the name of the Qiu tribe - Kaguang Budan."
After turning their attention away from the blessing prayer, their focus fell on Kaguang again.
Angel remembers that the Qiu tribe, whose upper body is human and lower body is fish, ranks first among all totems. In a hierarchical civilization, this Qiu named Kaguang might still be a member of the powerful class in the Qiu settlement. Unfortunately, he died at the sacrifice of his tribe.
After there was nothing noteworthy about the Qiu tribe's appearance, Angel and Qili finally focused their eyes on its chest.
The sword of Mei Rui is the heart scale of the Qiu people.
Angel tore open Kaguang's robe, revealing his naked chest.
Sure enough, as recorded in the text, there were four sword-shaped scales at its heart. In the bright firelight, it was clearly visible that the color of the scales was golden, as if there was light flowing from glass.
Angel took off the scales with a gentle flick.
After removing the heart scales, Angel discovered that the scales were actually in pairs. The two scales together formed a beautiful sword.
While Angel was tinkering with the Mei Rui Sword, Qili focused on Kaguang's chest, where four heart scales were missing and four small blood holes appeared.
Qili's eyes were full of thoughts: "I remember that in the totem you showed me, the Qiu tribe has a human upper body and a fish lower body, and there are four points on the chest. I didn't think too much about it at first, but now it seems that this represents Do you understand the meaning of the four heart-mouthed scales of this Qi tribe?"
Following Qi Li's reminder, Angel also recalled the scene he saw at that time: "The upper body is a human and the lower body is a fish. There are indeed four points on the chest; the side body is a human body and the side body is a fish. There are three points on the chest, and the lower body is a human body and the upper body is The fish has two dots on its chest, and the rest have only one dot... If the dots are the number of scales, then we are pretty lucky to be able to combine them into two Meirui Swords, just one for each of us."
Angel handed a Meirui Sword to Qili and kept one for himself.
After Qili accepted the Meirui Sword, she said calmly: "It seems that the number of scales on the chest represents the class of the Qiu people. At the same time, it can also be inferred that the higher the class, the fewer the corresponding Qiu people; conversely, the number of scales on the chest represents the Qiu people's class. The clan probably only has one heart scale."
At this point, Qili sneered: "Mechanical City has made a good calculation. In the end, most of the apprentices will definitely only get a heart scale. If they want to synthesize the Meirui Sword, they must either continue to search for the Qiu tribe, or they will have to..."
"snatch."
…
Now that the Sword of Meirui is available, another problem arises. How to use the Sword of Meirui to find the final altar of finality?
While Angel was thinking about how to use the Meirui Sword, Qili suddenly paused and put out the light of the portable oil lamp. The surrounding area instantly darkened. Just when Angel was wondering about Qili's actions, he noticed a white light flickering in the darkness in the distance.
The place where the white light flashed was exactly the place they left not long ago - the undersea watchtower.
Angel clearly remembered that the fire was extinguished when they left the watchtower. But now there is light again. Apparently, there is another wave of visitors in the watchtower?
"Is it Frogskin, or is it someone else?" Angel said in his voice.
"We'll find out if we go over and take a look," Qili said.
Angel also agreed to go over and take a look. If they were frogskin monsters, he could catch them and ask them how to use the Meirui Sword. Thinking of this, the two secretly reached a consensus and quietly walked towards the watchtower.
Darkness is a natural protective color, and they successfully approached the watchtower a hundred meters away.
Angel remembered that the last time he encountered a circular fortress on the seabed, the Frogskin spotted him a hundred meters away, but now there was no movement. Could it be that the visitor to the watchtower was not a Frogskin?
While Angel was thinking, Qili suddenly said: "It's not the Sauge tribe, it's humans. Luna heard the voice of Common Language coming from inside."
If they were not from the Jiu Ge clan, the two of them would immediately lose interest. But Angel still plans to go there and have a look. What if he happens to meet Nausicaa? Although he didn't know whether Nausicaa successfully came to the Sea of Purification.
Qili didn't want to go, so she stayed where she was to rest. Angel turned on the boundless silence and quietly approached the watchtower.
As Angel approached, he suddenly heard a shout from the watchtower: "This is mine, you'd better die!"
Unexpectedly, it was still a robbery drama? Curiosity flashed in Angel's eyes, and at the same time, he vaguely felt that the voice seemed a bit familiar?
Along with a huge energy fluctuation, a scream with resentment came from inside: "Yi! Xiu!"
Yixiu? An image of a man in a cloak flashed through Angel's mind. It was Yi Xiu who formed a team with Shan Yeluo and the others!
Angel also remembered that scream. It seemed to be a guy named Froude.
Internal strife? From the tone of voice, it seems that Yi Xiu wants to snatch something? Angel thought for a moment and then planned to leave. He could feel that there were only two energy reactions in the watchtower, presumably Ixiu and Flood. He didn't know these two people, and he didn't bother to get involved in other people's internal strife. It was too troublesome.
But just as Angel turned to leave, Yi Xiu's hoarse voice came over: "Who?"
While Angel was still thinking about why his boundless silence had failed again, a strong wind with a strong bloody smell struck from behind.
Angel turned sideways and dodged the attack. When he looked back, he saw that Ixiu had stood on the top of the watchtower at some point, with a large amount of blood floating in the surrounding water vapor.
Angel's figure slowly appeared.
When Yi Xiu saw the person clearly, his pupils shrank and his brows furrowed tightly: "So it's you!"
Yi Xiu paused for a moment, with a sarcastic smile on his lips: "I didn't expect Mr. Sanders to have a habit of listening to people in corners. It was just that time in the wasteland. I don't know what explanation you should give this time? "
Angel didn't expect to be discovered by Yi Xiu, and judging from Yi Xiu's tone, he seemed to have discovered more than once that the last time he followed Shan Yeluo to their gathering place, he also discovered it?
Angel once again lost faith in "boundless silence".
It's just a matter of being discovered by the frogskin and the Orc Tubo. Even if the presence is weakened in the water, the current and foam will easily expose the position. But before he entered the Sea of Purification, he was discovered by other apprentices. Now that he was pointed out, Angel was helpless and a little embarrassed.
"I saw a light here, so I came to take a look. I didn't come to eavesdrop on purpose." Angel took the initiative to take a step back. In the Purified Sea, where the future is uncertain and full of dangers, the little magic power he can save will count.
Angel's initiative to give in made Yi Xiu's expression slightly better. In fact, he didn't want to offend Angel. Angel had saved them in the lava area, and Angel had a very strong identity and background.
Thinking of this, Yi Xiu said coldly: "If that's the case, then I won't give it away."
Angel nodded, turned and walked towards the darkness. But before he had gone far, the black cat Luna suddenly came out from the side, meowed, and stepped directly on Angel's feet with her paws.
Before Angel could figure out the situation, Luna moved her claws away, and a small bug with a triangle on its head and iridescent spots on its back appeared in his eyes.
"Third-order siphonophore?!" Even if Angel didn't know much about demonic insects, he had heard about this poisonous and highly invisible killer. Its poison can even kill the wizard apprentice who has been injected with blood!
Unless Luna was by his side this time, his body would never be able to withstand its attack once he was attacked by the siphonophore.
Thinking of this, Angel felt frightened and looked at Yi Xiu with cold eyes.
"what do you mean?"
Ixiu also looked at Black Cat Luna with a gloomy face. This cat is here, which means that the descendant of the Lilith family should be nearby.
"It's not interesting, it's just a defensive method. Didn't I let it attack?" Ixiu shrugged.
Just as Angel was about to speak, a translucent figure suddenly ran out of the watchtower.
"Don't believe him, he found the Sword of Meirui on you!"
