Chapter 1449 - A Great a.s.set
Once again, Carion and Briget were shocked. Naturally, one of them asked, "Where the h.e.l.l did he go?"
Rean laughed in response, saying, "Hahaha! There are a lot of things you don"t know about us. In any case, all you need to understand is that Kentucky is with us, and we can bring him out once we get down there."
The siblings couldn"t help but become a little nervous after that. Nevertheless, that also showed that the twins" group might really be a good choice of people to have on this journey. "Very well, we won"t ask anything."
Following that, Earth Element began to gather around Carion, which was his elemental affinity. Following that, the sand in the desert under him began to revolve before a hole started to appear. The more Carion did that, the faster it became. Eventually, the hole increased to a size that could accommodate even the Purple Lightning Eagle. "Let"s go."
Everyone jumped inside, and Carion used his Earth Element to cover the entrance. For those who looked from the outside, there didn"t seem to be any difference. Rean then used his Light Element to create a sphere of light that illuminated their surroundings. "It"s quite nice to have an Earth Element cultivator."
Carion smiled as he continued to work. At his level, even with the lack of Divine Energy in Treavin, he could still dig down around half a meter per second. When one considered he was creating a hole that even the Purple Lightning Eagle could fit in, it was quite impressive. Not to mention that he was covering the ceiling once his group finished pa.s.sing through.
However, the Under Desert Sea was several kilometers below the ground, so his Divine Energy quickly ran out. "Phew... 310 meters, huh? Not bad for the first step," Carion said. Well, in fact, he still had at least half of his Divine Energy remaining. But since he was traveling with the twins and didn"t totally trust them, he didn"t use everything at once.
In Roan"s eyes, that was definitely the right thing to do as he nodded in approval. "Being ready for all possibilities is never a bad thing. Though, if we wait for you to recover your Divine Energy every time, we might take days to reach the Under Desert Sea. Here, just use them." Roan then threw a hundred Rank One Divine Stones to Carion.
"This..." Feeling the rich Divine Energy filling the surroundings, Carion and Briget didn"t know what to say anymore. "Is it really okay to give me this many Divine Stones?"
Roan nodded, saying, "Just some pocket change. Just use it already and keep excavating. Even though everyone can use Earth Element to some extent, we won"t match a real Earth Element Affinity cultivator in that regard."
"Po-pocket change..." Hearing that, Briget and Carion finally accepted it. The twins were basically two tyc.o.o.ns. It was then that Carion noticed something when he started to use the Divine Stones. Falangia, Rafatia, and Luan were cultivating on his eagle"s back and were using Divine Stones as well. "Alright, perhaps it"s just us who are poor..." Well, they weren"t. The twins were just out of the norm.
With the Divine Stones, it didn"t take long for Carion to recover his Divine Energy. He also held several of them in his hand as he continued to open the s.p.a.ce below everyone. It was a constant cycle of spending and recharging. What could have taken several days only took several hours.
Suddenly, the earth below everyone began to get wet. That was the sign that they were getting close to the Under Desert Sea. That also helped Carion as wet ground was much easier to move than a dry one. "Everyone, be prepared. Once we connect to the Under Desert Sea, the entire place will fill up with salt.w.a.ter. The pressure will also increase many times."
Rean then looked at Falangia, Luan, and Rafatia and could tell that they had already begun to feel the difference in the pressure. He quickly spread his Divine Soul Power, which covered the three, making that pressure disappear completely. "I stored a little of my energy in your bodies, so even if you get far from me, you won"t run out of protection instantly. It should be enough for at least thirty or so minutes."
Falangia couldn"t help but get nervous, asking, "What about air? How will we breathe?"
"Breathe?" Rean asked with a smile. "We already used all the oxygen in the air a long time ago. There"s nothing for you to breathe here. You were being supported by my Divine Energy instead. It"s just that you didn"t notice. In any case, the same will happen once the water covers everything."
Falangia was surprised to hear that. Sure enough, she quickly noticed that although she was performing the action of "breathing," she wasn"t really inhaling any air at all. "I truly wish to reach your level one day..."
Roan wasn"t paying attention to that, though. He kept the Divine Sense bending skill active, trying to see if there would be any ambush below or not. However, it truly seemed that there was nothing ahead of them. "At least the information they got from their father seems to be correct. Well, at least in this part of the journey, at least."
With that, Carion called their attention. "There it comes. Shield yourself as the earth below will burst at us because of the pressure of the water below."
Carion was right. A few seconds after he said that, the ground seemed to inflate like a balloon before it burst with water. Naturally, everyone used their Divine Energy to protect themselves or others. In the next second, they were all under dirty water. Carion immediately sent everyone a Divine Sense message after that. "Let"s go down so that we can leave the dirty water behind. Be careful. There might be aquatic demon beasts at the exit."
They weren"t using their Divine Sense to not alert the demon beasts, so it was hard to tell... or so Darion thought.
Roan looked at Luan and asked, "How is it? Can you see anything?"
Luan shook his head as his three pupils seemed to revolve. "There are no concentrated Divine Energy spheres below."
Roan nodded, satisfied.. "Your eyes are indeed a great a.s.set."
