Chapter 1065: Accompany of the King
Chen Rui left the siren tribe and quickly came to the Thunder Snake Archipelago, where he met Matriarch Modesty and her inheritor, Strena, of the naga tribe. He fought alongside Strena on the Land of Hatred at the bottom of the sea, and they forged a strong friends.h.i.+p.
Reuniting with comrades was a joy, but Strena, the host’s reaction, was a little jerky. Nonetheless, she soon returned to normal.
The news from Strena was not ideal, because Lalaria and others did not stay long in the Thunder Snake Archipelago as they embarked on a ‘treasure hunt’ process. Strena knew very little about the treasure hunt, but she heard an unfamiliar term: Crimson Double Teeth Sea Area.
The sea area of the Dead Sea was too huge. Even Matriarch Modesty of the naga tribe did not know where the Crimson Double Teeth Sea Area was. it should be far away from this sea area.
Now only Vesilna’s link was disconnected, while Olypheus, who was also the linker, was still there, he did not know what happened to the others. It only meant that Olypheus had not died yet, and she was probably facing the threat of death, so Chen Rui must race against the clock.
The first key was to find the location of ‘Crimson Double Teeth Sea Area’. Chen Rui pondered about it and thought of another ‘old friend’ nearby, Water Elemental King Lambost.
With the Water Elemental King’s knowledge and familiarity with the Dead Sea, there should be clues in this regard.
After Strena heard that her sister might be in danger, she insisted on going together. Strena’s talent was one of the best among the nagas. Over the years, her strength had already reached the peak stage of the Demon Overlord, but unfortunately, she had never been able to cross that gap to enter the super-level. During this time, she was thinking of going out for training.
Before Chen Rui agreed or refused, Strena’s mother, the nagas’ Matriarch Modesty, spoke up. In short, she was mocking that Strena’s strength would become a burden, then she whispered a few words in her daughter’s ear. Strena’s face actually turned red, and she pulled out the scimitar with a loud clang.
Soon, the mother and daughter began a fierce battle.
Out of courtesy, when Modesty whispered earlier, Chen Rui put away his perception and did not eavesdrop.
Seeing that the 2 sides’ shots were getting more and more ruthless, as if fighting for their lives, Chen Rui finally couldn’t stand it anymore. He moved his fingers slightly, and the 2 winding and graceful figures suddenly stopped.
“I’m sorry, you 2. I can’t stay here for long, so I’ll take my leave.”
Strena and Modesty felt the irresistible force of imprisonment disappear at the same time, and their bodies regained their freedom when Chen Rui seemed to just raise his fingers casually. Both of them knew very well what this force represented. Strena was silent immediately, and she no longer requested to follow suit.
“Matriarch Modesty, I have heard Adeline say that due to the innate relations.h.i.+p, it is very difficult for the naga tribe to break through to the super-level. Usually, one needs to go through some kind of strong and special spiritual stimulation. However, as a super-level powerhouse, I want to say that there are many ways to break through the bottleneck. It is not necessary to sacrifice one’s own life to induce some kind of stimulation.”
Chen Rui’s words stunned Modesty, then he glanced at Strena, “Strena, although you accepted the power given by Adeline, your foundation is not very steady, if you believe me… “
“I believe.”
Strena’s firm gaze made Chen Rui sigh softly. He signed an equality link with her, gave her the power of 1-star enhancement through the link, explained the matters to be aware of, and entered the City of Stars.
Soon, the giant ‘s.p.a.ce castle’ disappeared from the nagas’ vision.
“Hopefully your strength matches your vision as well.” Modesty didn’t continue to challenge or fight. After she said the last sentence, she threw down the scimitar in her hand dejectedly before she turned her back against her daughter as she slowly walked away.
Chen Rui had been to the water elemental residence for more than once. Soon, the alchemy metropolitan, which was renamed the ‘Star s.h.i.+p’, arrived at the Deep Blue Island. He met the Water Elemental King Lambost.
Lambost was not too surprised by Chen Rui’s improvement in strength. In fact, the last time when the 3 Kings of Darkness provided element source power for ‘Cosmos Annihilation’, he had seen the ‘Red Pole Star Emperor’ Chen Rui. At the same time, he also learned about Zola becoming a Demi-G.o.d.
When Chen Rui came to the Deep Blue Palace for the first time, Earth Elemental King Moore said that he was an inheritor of a Pseudo-G.o.d. Now that Chen Rui’s strength had reached the peak stage of the Demi-G.o.d, Lambost only thought it was just a ‘gradual recovery of strength’.
“Crimson Double Teeth Sea Area?” The name made Lambost frown as if he was recalling something. After some time, he shook his head.
“Your Highness Lambost?” Chen Rui asked.
“The Dead Sea is vast and huge, and the sea area that you know is just a tiny part of it.” Although he didn’t answer the question, Chen Rui’s eyes really lit up. He didn’t interrupt, but quietly waited for the following. Since Lambost started the topic like this, he must know something about the ‘Crimson Double Teeth Sea Area’.
“The sea area is no better than the inland. There are countless unknown areas and forces hidden in the deep sea. Even Demi-G.o.d is in danger of falling at any time when entering some dangerous areas.” Lambost revealed a pondering expression, “A long time ago, at that time… I searched around the Dead Sea in search of the Crown of Wave. When I came to a sea area, I felt my control over water elementals actually weakened rapidly. For an Elemental King, this is an incredible phenomenon, and it is also a very deadly thing. The sky in the sea area is crimson red. Judging from the fluctuations of the surrounding water elementals, I can faintly sense that there seem to be 2 huge islands in the sea area. I tried to approach the sea area, but I didn’t sense the power of the water origin fragment. On the contrary, I felt a terrifying danger, so I didn’t enter the sea area rashly and chose to leave wisely. If according to the ‘Crimson Double Teeth Sea Area’ you mentioned, and the contract party at the Demi-G.o.d level has fallen, then it is likely to be the terrifying sea area back then.”
“There is actually such a sea area!” Chen Rui was taken aback. Not to mention the level of power contained in that sea area, the Water Elemental King is the absolute controller of the water elementals. The fact that the water elementals of the Crimson Double Teeth Sea Area is out of his control is especially strange. The ‘treasure hunting ground’ of Lalaria and others is likely to be where this terrifying force is.
“It’s not that I underestimate your ability. Even Pseudo-G.o.d cannot ignore the level of danger there. You must consider it carefully.”
“Then, can Your Highness do me a favor and mark the approximate location of this sea area.”
“Looks like you’ve made up your mind.” Lambost nodded slowly, “Okay.”
“I know Your Highness wants to remind me of the danger, and I’m grateful for Your Highness’ kindness. ” Chen Rui shrugged, “It’s not that I’m trying to covet any treasure, but my friends are very likely to get lost in it, and their lives are in danger, so I have to go.”
“For friends? No wonder Moore trusts you so much.” Lambost expressed his admiration.
“I remember Your Highness also said that I’m a friend of water elementals.”
“It was just an investment politeness when Sir Auglas was present; for profit.” Lambost smiled lightly, “As we all know, water elementals are always shrewd, but…”
“But?”
“Maybe there will be a shocking war in the future, but before the storm comes, there will be a long and boring silence. On the main plane, our strength is limited in some way and we can’t move an inch. After getting the Crown of Wave, all I can do is just wait. All I’m thinking about now is how to pa.s.s this boring time… So, let’s go.”
Chen Rui showed a surprised expression, “Your Highness means…”
“The sea area in that area is very strange. Back then, I succeeded in entering with the Elemental King’s intuition about water elementals. If I were to give you an ordinary sea map, it might take you several months to find the exact location. I’m afraid it will waste a lot of precious time.” Lambost laughed, “Besides, after what you said, I also want to find out what’s going on in that place. However, ‘my’ current strength can’t help you much.”
“Since this is the case, let’s go.” Chen Rui was very clear that the role of the Water Elemental King could never be measured by superficial strength, especially in this almost boundless Dead Sea. With his help, they would definitely be able to get to that mysterious Crimson Double Teeth Sea Area as fast as possible.
“Thank you very much for your help, Your Highness.” Chen Rui entered the ‘Star s.h.i.+p’ with Lambost without too much politeness.
“This is what you got from the ancient heritage?” Despite countless years of memory and wisdom, Lambost couldn’t hide his surprise after entering the Star s.h.i.+p.
“To be precise, it is the ancient alchemy civilization, a civilization outside the main plane.”
Chen Rui didn’t hide it. However, he would definitely not reveal the secret of the Super System. It was his biggest secret. So far, he had not disclosed it to anyone. Besides, the ‘great grand master inheritance’ had been perfectly overlapped with this ancient civilization, becoming the best alternative excuse.
He was now in the central projection control room, which could temporarily exercise most of the functions of the central control palace and issue orders. This was equivalent to a centrally controlled projection building, which would not affect Crystal Phoenix’s original body after being destroyed.
Crystal Phoenix could project any building in the alchemy city into a temporary control room, which was 1 of the wonderful uses of level 5 metropolitan civilization.
“Very special civilization.” The well-informed Lambost saw the difference between ‘technical’ civilization and ordinary magical civilization at a glance. He was even more amazed when he saw those alchemy creatures that had never been seen before.
“Regardless of how special the existence, there is a day of destruction after all. What I get is the civilization that escaped to the main plane before extinction… There is only a small part left. The real plane of the alchemy civilization had long been destroyed by a terrifying power.” While Chen Rui said, he ordered the gremlin servants to construct the current map.
Lambost didn’t care about the alchemy civilization. He glanced at the map, and a blue light appeared in his hand. It was a sea area map, “This is the sea area that I know; it should be helpful for your flight.”
Chen Rui immediately asked Crystal Phoenix’s projection to scan and copy this sea area map, and it was integrated with the one the ‘Star s.h.i.+p’ previously verified. The result was a surprise. It turned out that the sea area map given by Lambost was huge while the sea area that he knew was just a drop in the bucket.
“Flying in this direction, at this speed of… you call it a ‘battles.h.i.+p’, we will reach the Miro Sea Area in about 3 days. After this, we need to leave this big guy and ‘walk’ to sense the mysterious sea area.”
