Chapter 504: Sword of Meirui

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 towards the Swim towards the end of the trench.

In the process, Qili also slowly recovered some strength and was able to move 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 Lantern again.

Seeing Qili's insistence, Angel said nothing more. Instead, he focused on the Qiu he was holding in his hand. He sensed that the Qiu had long since died, but the body was well protected by the big octopus and showed no signs of corruption.

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 figure of the Qiu tribe was 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 seeing 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 tests not only the ability to survive and strength, but also the accumulation of the wizard himself, which happens 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 tracts 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 may 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 off Kaguang's robe, revealing his bare 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 Meirui 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 thought: "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 having four heart-mouth scales in 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. The upper body is a human body and the upper body is a human body. The fish has two dots on its chest, while the others all have only one dot... If the dots are the number of scales, then we are pretty lucky to be able to combine just two Meirui Swords, 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 Sword of Meri, Qili suddenly paused and extinguished the light of the portable oil lamp. The surroundings darkened instantly. When Angel was wondering about Qili's actions, he found a white light flickering in the darkness in the distance.

The place where the white light flickered was the underwater watchtower they had just left not long ago.

Angel remembered clearly that the light was extinguished when they left the watchtower. But now the light appeared again. Obviously, another wave of visitors appeared in the watchtower?

"Is it a frog-skinned monster, or someone else?" Angel said.

"We will know if we go over and take a look." Qili said.

Angel also agreed to go over and take a look. If it was a frog-skinned monster, he could catch them and ask about the use of the Sword of Meri. 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 frog-skinned monster spotted him a hundred meters away, but now there was no movement. Could it be that the visitor to the watchtower was not a frog-skinned monster?

While Angel was thinking, Qili suddenly said: "It's not the Egret tribe, it's a human. Luna heard the voice of the common language coming from inside."

If it wasn't the Egret tribe, the two of them would instantly lose interest. But Angel still planned to go over and take a look. What if he happened to meet Nausicaa? Although he didn't know whether Nausicaa had successfully come to the Purified Sea.

Qili didn't want to go, so she stayed where she was to rest. Angel opened the boundless silence and quietly approached the watchtower.

When Angel approached, he suddenly heard a shout from the watchtower: "This is mine, you'd better die!"

I didn't expect it to be a snatching drama? Curiosity flashed in Angel's eyes, and at the same time, he felt that the voice seemed a little familiar?

Along with a huge energy wave, a cry of resentment came from inside: "Yi Xiu!"

Yi Xiu? An image of a cloaked man flashed through Angel's mind. It was Yi Xiu who formed a team with Dan Ye Luo and the others!

Angel also remembered that scream. It seemed to be a guy named Frode.

Internal strife? From the tone, it seemed that Yi Xiu wanted to rob something? Angel pondered for a moment and planned to leave. He could feel that there were only two energy reactions in the watchtower, which must be Yi Xiu and Frode. He didn't know either of them, and he was too lazy to get involved in other people's internal strife. It was too troublesome.

But just as Angel turned to leave, Yi Xiu's hoarse and unpleasant voice came over: "Who?"

When Angel was still thinking about why his boundless silence had failed again, a strong wind with a strong bloody smell came from behind.

Angel dodged the attack by leaning to the side. Looking back, he saw that Yixiu had stood on the top of the watchtower without him noticing. A lot of blood was floating in the surrounding water vapor.

Angel's figure slowly emerged.

When Yixiu saw the person clearly, his pupils shrank and his brows knitted tightly: "It turned out to be you!"

Yixiu paused, with a mocking smile on his face: "I didn't expect that Lord Sanders's disciple would have the habit of eavesdropping. It was fine that time in the wilderness, but I don't know what explanation you should give this time?"

Angel didn't expect to be discovered by Yixiu, and from Yixiu's tone, he seemed to have discovered it more than once. The last time he followed Dan Ye Luo to their gathering place, he was also discovered by him?

Angel lost confidence in "Boundless Silence" again.

Being discovered by the frog-skin monster and Oak Tubo would be fine. Even if the presence was weakened in the water, the water flow and foam would easily expose the position. But before he entered the Purification Sea, he was discovered by other apprentices. Now that it was pointed out, Angel felt helpless and embarrassed.

"I saw the light here, so I came to take a look, not to eavesdrop on it on purpose." Angel took a step back. In the Purification Sea where the road ahead was uncertain and full of dangers, it was better to save a little magic power.

Angel's initiative to give in made Ixu's expression a little better. He didn't want to offend Angel, because Angel had saved them in the lava area, and Angel's identity and background were also very strong.

Ixu thought of this and said coldly: "In that case, then I won't send you off."

Angel nodded and turned to walk into the darkness. But he didn't go far, and the black cat Luna suddenly came out from the side, meowed, and stepped directly on Angel's feet with her claws.

Before Angel could figure out the situation, Luna moved her claws away, and a small insect with a triangular head and rainbow spots on its back appeared in his eyes.

"Level 3 siphon worm?!" Although Angel didn't know much about magic worms, he had heard of this killer that was both highly poisonous and extremely stealthy. Its poison could even kill wizard apprentices who had been injected with blood!

If Luna hadn't been there this time, once he was attacked by the siphon worm, his body would definitely not be able to withstand its attack.

Thinking of this, Angel was scared and looked at Isu with cold eyes.

"What do you mean?"

Isu also looked at the black cat Luna with a gloomy face. This cat is here, which means that the heir of the House of Lilith should also be nearby.

"It doesn't mean anything, it's just a precaution. Didn't I let it attack?" Isu 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!"
