Chapter 341 Archbishop in White——Musa! Goodbye Mr. Heller!
Not long after.
Lewis, Nana, the Daisy siblings, and others also came to the battle-damaged ship.
Looking at the miserable condition of the ship, everyone fell into silence.
It is conceivable that there are by no means the only victims like this.
If they had not encountered the [Black Swan] by chance before, all the members of the [Dragon Pirate Group] would probably have died here.
In this dangerous [Far North], even Xia En didn't dare to say that he would be safe.
Not to mention, the other ships in the [Far North Expeditionary Force] are slightly weaker.
After a moment of silence, Nana looked at the empty tombstone and asked.
"Don't you leave something on this monument?"
Xia En thought about it and thought it made sense.
Although he had never met this group of people and did not know their identities, there should always be something left to prove that these people had been here.
So, Xia En carved on the tablet——
【Graves of members of the Far North Expeditionary Force】
Then, Shane turned around and said.
"Let's go, in order to prevent their sacrifices from being in vain, we must prevent the second great flood from coming."
Everyone nodded heavily: "Yes!"
……
……
Soon, another two days passed.
At this time, Princess Dayan An Bing was still in a coma and had not yet awakened.
An Bing's coma lasted a little longer than Xia En expected, but according to Jane's examination, her vital signs were very stable and there was no concern for her life.
According to Jane's speculation, the reason why she hasn't woken up yet is more like "unwillingness" than "can't"!
After learning such a cruel truth.
In An Bing's subconscious, he may be resisting waking up, which is why he hasn't been able to wake up.
And even Jane has no good solution to this.
The human soul and consciousness are the most mysterious and sophisticated areas. To awaken her in a special way rashly may cause some irreparable damage.
But thinking about it, when he comes to King Xin, there must be a way to wake him up.
Although Xia En was a little disappointed because he could not get information about the past [Great Yan Kingdom] from An Bing.
But compared to intelligence and information, the safety of brothers and women is obviously more important.
In addition, along the way, Xia En encountered several abandoned warships and several battlefields that had experienced bloody battles.
They either hit the ice and were unable to move forward.
Or, like the previous ship, it was surrounded by terrifying monsters on the ice field, and after a fierce battle, the crew was wiped out.
Among these ships, Shane even saw the presence of the federal navy!
Obviously, as the main force of the [Far North Expeditionary Force], the federal navy has begun a tug-of-war with the monsters on the ice sheet.
Xia En and the crew all felt that the cold wind blowing around seemed to carry an aura of chilling and blood.
In some distant places, the roar of artillery could be heard from time to time.
The appearance of these abandoned warships and changes also made Xia En and others realize——
This is a war!
The enemy of the [Far North Expeditionary Force] is not a specific country or force.
It's the harsh environment of [the Far North] and the undead from the old era wandering on the ice sheet.
It can also be said.
This is a war between humans and the old gods who have left their mark on the land.
The only good news to say.
That probably means that in the past few days, Xia En and the others have not been pursued by the rebels from the [Black Flame Walker] at all.
That's Xia En's guess.
This is probably because even the rebels did not expect that they could actually awaken Dark Ice when the [Fire] was taken away.
This led to the rebels misjudgment and being unable to locate the location of Xia En and others.
One step is slow, each step is slow!
It is already very difficult for the rebels to catch up with the [Black Swan] now.
……
……
And just this morning.
While the [Black Swan] broke through the ice and opened up a channel on the ice sheet.
Shane was patrolling the deck of the Black Swan as usual.
Suddenly, his eyes were attracted by a scene on the ice field not far away.
I saw white dots suddenly appearing one after another on the vast expanse of ice.
They seem to emerge from the cracks in the ice sheet, one after another, and the number is staggering.
It quickly went from a white dot to a white line.
If you look at it from above, you might find ugly patches like vitiligo appearing on the ice sheet.
At the same time, there were bursts of roaring sounds coming from a distance.
Such a change immediately attracted the attention of the crew on the Black Swan and other ships.
"What is that?"
"It looks so weird!"
"It always feels like the snow monster I encountered before..."
The sailors on the frigate immediately started talking.
On the deck of the [Black Swan], Xian Ge's eyesight was far better than that of ordinary humans, and he could see the true appearance of those strange white spots more clearly.
At first glance.
They are indeed somewhat similar to the hairy snow monsters that Shane and others encountered.
Their surfaces are covered with a layer of what looks like white hair.
However, the monster that appeared this time had no human form at all.
They are like strange tentacles made of white hair, constantly emerging from under the ice and rushing crazily in a certain direction.
It's like spider threads that have been magnified several times, encompassing most of the ice sheet into this huge spider web.
"Hiss..."
After seeing Bai Dian's true appearance, Xian Ge couldn't help but take a deep breath and get goosebumps all over his body.
"What is that? It looks disgusting!"
Yes, disgusting.
This is what that tentacle-like white-haired presence feels like.
It's as if their existence itself is a kind of blasphemy against life!
In other words, they are products created to destroy life.
"Another [dirty creature]..."
Xia En frowned slightly, his expression solemn.
【Filthy Creatures】
It was his name for this kind of strange existence that was contaminated with [Filthy Secret Power] and existed between the living and the undead.
The previous [Filthy Sea Heir], ice crystal monsters, snow monsters, and even the current white-haired tentacles can all be classified into the category of this kind of creature.
It's a general term that Xia En came up with.
It's just that it's different from the other [filthy creatures] I've come into contact with.
The white tentacles on the ice sheet in the distance gave Xia En a feeling of extreme danger.
A single tentacle is certainly not scary.
But what if... those tentacles are a whole, and they are just part of the body of a being under the ice?
If that were the case, how big would that existence be?
Thinking of this, even Xia En couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.
At this time, Jane also walked out of the cabin and came to Xia En.
"That's..." Looking at the white tentacles on the ice field, Jane also looked solemn.
"Captain Shane, they seem to be converging in one direction!"
"...Huh?"
Upon hearing this, Xia En's expression changed slightly.
After observing carefully for a moment, he found that Jane's judgment was very correct.
Those white tentacles were visibly gathering towards the north, as if something was calling them in that direction.
"Wait, North?"
Xia En frowned suddenly.
The northernmost part of [Far North] is not the headquarters of [Far North Expeditionary Force], and the location where the legendary flood came.
The more critical question is——
Is it only this special white tentacle that is doing this, or are all the [filthy creatures] converging towards the northernmost part of the world?
If it's the former, that's fine, but if it's the latter...
Just imagining the scene of countless different types of "filthy creatures" coming, Xia En couldn't help but feel a chill.
That kind of weird [Filthy Secret Power] can only be restrained by a secret power of the same level.
Otherwise, it would be a disaster for ordinary secret travelers!
This is similar to the beast tide in the [Rhine Secret Realm], but it is not of the same magnitude and level at all.
Suddenly this time.
Jane's expression changed, she looked at the center of the wave of tentacles, and reminded her loudly.
"Captain Shane, a very strong unknown aura appears!"
"Oh no...more than one!"
Shane followed her gaze.
I saw a blazing bright light erupting out of thin air above the ice sheet.
Immediately, an old man wearing a white priest's robe with gold patterns walked out of the light.
He was tall and thin, with sparse white hair, and had a peaceful dignity about him.
Xia En is no stranger to this old man.
He had seen each other more than once in the [Land of Glory].
The white-robed archbishop of the Hui religion—Musa!
At this time, after taking a step forward, Musa's eyes lightly scanned the tentacles under him and sighed.
"What a filthy and filthy sight..."
"Let the glow purify all this."
But, right now.
There was a slight cough beside him.
"Ahem, old man, your light is too bright and smelly, it hurts my eyes."
"Hurry up and get over it."
If anyone heard this title, their eyes would pop out of their heads in shock.
This is the white-clothed archbishop of the Hui Sect. Who is so bold as to call him "old man"?
This unconcerned tone was enough to show that instead of respecting Musa at all, he actually stood in a somewhat antagonistic position.
Musa was not angry at this person's rude attitude, but just turned his head to look at him.
"To be honest, the fishy smell of the deep sea on your body really bothers me a bit."
"Next time you appear in front of me, can you take a shower in advance?"
"People from [Youshu Sect] don't even have this kind of etiquette, right?"
Standing in Musa's shining shadow was a tall, lanky man with a gentlemanly air.
He has messy black hair like seaweed, a strange black tattoo that looks like some kind of mollusk carved on his cheek, and he wears an old dress.
When Xia En, who was far away, saw him, he couldn't help but look shocked.
Isn't this "Mr. Heller" who we met several times in the [Insanity Islands]?
After observing carefully for a moment, Xia En discovered that he seemed to be quite different from Mr. Heller in his impression.
First of all, it was the aura on his body.
Although the former Mr. Heller also gave Shane an unfathomable feeling at that time.
But Xia En can also be sure that at that time, he definitely did not reach the level of legend.
Thinking about it, if the Federation Navy knew that there was a legend sitting in the [Insanity Islands], they would definitely not treat it with that ordinary attitude.
But now this "Mr. Heller" gave Xia En a vague feeling that he could be equal to Musa.
In other words, he is at least a legendary powerhouse!
Not even an ordinary legend.
Secondly, it is his temperament and clothing.
The Heller in the Luansi Islands is more calm and gloomy, like an abyss with no bottom at a glance.
At this time, "Mr. Heller" seemed a bit careless and frivolous.
Of course, that might just be a facade he put on.
And his dress seems to have changed from light gray to black now...
No matter what, Xia En's mood was surprised and a little complicated when he saw these two acquaintances in [Lengliehai].
After all, the aura on his body caused the two of them to have some kind of "misunderstanding", and they mistakenly thought that he was a "holy son" or something like that in their own sect.
If it were exposed, wouldn't the situation be embarrassing?
At the same time, Xia En was a little curious.
Why do these two people appear here together?
They represent [Hui Sect] and [Netherworld Sect] respectively. They can't come to this ice field to quarrel, right?
At this time, the conversation between Moussa and Heller continued.
Heller continued what Musa had said.
"For some pretentious guys, I think some etiquette is completely unnecessary."
Moussa sneered and said: "Who are you talking about, the pretentious guy?"
"Obviously they are just a group of lunatics following a certain giant beast in the deep sea, but they still have the nerve to call them 'Master' and 'Holy'?"
Heller fired back without showing any signs of weakness: "Is a certain sect that believes in glory any better?"
"Maybe the guy who doesn't have faith is an evil god who wants to destroy the entire world!"
"You!"
A flash of anger flashed in Musa's eyes.
But just when he was about to continue speaking.
Below, the white tentacles seemed to finally be unable to bear the situation of being ignored by the two people, and began to stir wildly.
Click... click...
The ice continued to break, and white-haired tentacles tore through the ice, soared into the sky, and swept towards Musa and the two.
If you look closely, you will find that under those white hairs, there are human faces dripping with blood.
Every face has burnt marks, and is filled with extreme pain and hatred.
Vaguely, they were still murmuring and cursing.
However, neither Musa nor Heller showed any change in their expressions regarding this horrific scene.
Musa glanced at the tentacles lightly, and a pale golden light lit up from his eyes.
Chi——
Two beams of light burst out from his eyes, sweeping through the white tentacles like lasers.
Any tentacles that came into contact with the light turned into bloody steam in less than half a second.
Heller also just waved his hand.
Countless black tentacles, darker than the white tentacles, emerged from the shadows, entangled and biting each other with the white tentacles.
Black and white continue to blend together, and black gradually takes over...
