Chapter 3717 Seeing Clearly
Victor said, "Sea creatures possess innate sensory abilities. We can discern our surroundings by sensing water pressure fluctuations and tides. The remnants of the seal cannot affect this ability. Other races, if they do not have this sensory ability, will easily get lost in the Abyss Zone. If they rashly venture in, it is basically suicide."
Fang Heng nodded secretly.
That makes sense. This kind of environment is a great advantage for sea creatures. No wonder even the gods suffered a setback in the Abyss region.
Viktor opened his hand, his palm holding a dark blue scale.
The scales are about the size of a palm, with complex patterns on the surface and a faint glow.
Everyone turned their gaze toward Victor.
Victor explained, "These are scales bestowed upon us by Lord Kandar before our departure. Once we enter the Abyss region, we can use them to sense the dynamics of the undercurrents and guide us to the sealed land of the Abyss."
The faint glow of the scales flickered, sometimes strong, sometimes weak, like some living thing breathing.
Viktor stared at the eerie light for a moment, then raised his hand and pointed to the left. "Follow me this way. There's a horizontal spatial current about 300 meters ahead. Let's go around it."
Upon hearing that Viktor possessed such a treasure, his entourage breathed a slight sigh of relief.
"it is good."
Upon hearing this, the group adjusted their course and followed Viktor deeper into the area.
Along the way, the scales in Victor's hand issued at least seven or eight warnings, each time sensing the existence of the spatial undercurrents hundreds of meters in advance and leading everyone to avoid them.
As Fang Heng passed the edge of an undercurrent, he released a little of his mental energy to sense it.
The spatial undercurrents are extremely well hidden and difficult to detect unless you get very close. They surge silently in the darkness, constantly devouring the surrounding light, senses, and any living thing.
Suddenly, Viktor, who was leading the way, signaled for everyone to stop.
There's something ahead.
A deep, muffled roar came from the dark depths of the sea. The sound was so low that it seemed to come from some enormous creature.
In the deep sea abyss, due to the extreme suppression of perception, no one could see anything at all. Even the sea creatures could only sense the presence of some giant monster in the distance, and a heavy feeling pressed down on their hearts.
Fang Heng narrowed his eyes slightly, his right eye rapidly rotating as he looked into the darkness in the distance.
See it clearly!
Fang Heng could see several massive figures emerging from the darkness hundreds of meters away, appearing and disappearing in the darkness.
It wasn't very clear, but it felt like these monsters were at least ten times larger than the two catfish guards of Bikandar.
"It's a giant sea monster."
Viktor couldn't pinpoint the exact location of the deep-sea behemoth either, and continued in a low voice, "It seems we've approached the sealed area at the bottom of the Abyss. These creatures have lived at the bottom of the Abyss for years, and were previously in a dormant state. Recently, they've all awakened due to the eruption of the spatial undercurrents. We launched three rescue operations before, and we were stopped by them here twice."
"However, they also have weaknesses. The abyss region is dark all year round, which makes their vision almost zero. They usually use low growls to detect their surroundings."
"In addition, the abyssal behemoths are extremely sensitive to the smell of blood. If anything is bleeding or injured, they will quickly gather around, which is extremely troublesome."
Feng Tia tried to sense the giant sea monster in the darkness in the distance.
Despite her affinity for the ocean, she still couldn't pinpoint the exact location of the giant sea monster.
Feng Tia gently raised the Poseidon's Scepter in her hand, a hint of murderous intent appearing in her eyes. "Since that's the case, let's fight our way out."
“No need.” Fang Heng looked at the vast array of abyssal behemoths in the darkness and shook his head slightly. “If possible, we should go around them. Everyone, I will determine the location of the abyssal behemoths. Victor, remind me to avoid the spatial currents.”
Victor was taken aback, then looked at Fang Heng, "You can sense the location of the Abyss Beast?"
"I saw it."
Fang Heng offered no further explanation and led the way, guiding everyone away from the direction where the giant sea monsters had gathered.
What you saw?
Viktor was a little confused, but seeing that Empress Fontia trusted Fang Heng so much, she immediately led her men to follow him, and then called her men to follow as well.
Huh? It actually works?
Victor soon discovered that, following Fang Heng's guidance, although they could often hear the low roars of the abyssal beasts, they encountered no danger along the way.
They actually did it!
Viktor was greatly encouraged.
With the help of a guide to avoid the giant sea monster, the danger of this mission has been greatly reduced!
But how exactly did he do it?
Viktor was very curious.
……
Bottom of the abyss.
An open area.
The spatial barrier surrounding the outer layer completely isolated the seawater from the threat of the giant abyssal beasts.
The group of players from Blackburg were trapped here.
The stone platform in front of Charlene was covered with hand-drawn diagrams of magic circles, each diagram filled with dense runes and annotations.
The three alchemists invited by Blackburg were lying on a larger stone platform not far away. Two of them were flipping through their alchemy manuals and comparing them, while the other was examining a broken fragment of the array base repeatedly, muttering something to himself.
What they all had in common was that their brows were furrowed, and they all looked worried and distressed.
Some of the sea creature guards were also trapped.
Although the group had enough supplies to avoid problems in the short term, after being trapped for several days, everyone's face unconsciously showed signs of fatigue and anxiety.
Charlene looked up at the alchemical magic circle ruins that had appeared on the ground not far away.
The more I study it, the more of a headache I get.
The complexity of this magic array far exceeded her expectations. All three alchemists invited by Blackburg had mastered extraordinary-level alchemy, and one of them had even reached the threshold of demigod-level alchemy.
These three would be considered a star-studded lineup in any game world.
Unfortunately, despite working around the clock for several days, their progress in breaking the magic circle remained stuck at the very beginning.
It doesn't even reach 1%.
"My lord, the structure of the magic circle here is different from all the alchemical systems we know. Its energy cycle is completely self-consistent, and there is no external energy supply node at all. All our previous assumptions have been overturned."
An older alchemist put down the blueprints in his hand, walked up to Charlene, and said with a hint of dejection in his eyes, "I have verified it three times. This array contains at least seven nested structures. I can only understand the outermost structure at the moment. As for the rest... to be honest, even if we were given another ten years, I wouldn't be able to guarantee that we could decipher it all."
"The ancient alchemical magic circle differs structurally from the existing alchemical magic circle system, so it's normal that we can't find a breakthrough in a short time. You all shouldn't blame yourselves too much." (End of Chapter)
