Volume 5: Protracted War Chapter 164: Sacrifice (2)
A place without value is not worth staying in for long. Just as I was about to turn back to deal with Khufu's upcoming evolution, I turned my eyes and suddenly found that there seemed to be a few small words engraved on the lower left side of the three big words "Black Water Pond". I hurriedly got up to take a closer look. "Water of Extreme Yin". This was indeed the "Water of Extreme Yin" I was looking for. That damn old man always liked to speak only half of what he said, and I almost missed it.
According to the requirements of the task, I only need to soak the "Scepter of the Dead" in the "Water of Extreme Yin" and wash it for an hour to remove the first seal. I hurriedly took out the "Scepter of the Dead" from the "Storage Belt", held it with both hands and put it into the "Water of Extreme Yin", and wiped it carefully, fearing that I would miss a place and fail.
It was fine at the beginning, but after washing for a while, the originally calm water surface suddenly surged up. Every time I wiped the "Scepter of the Dead", the turbulence became particularly severe. Although I was worried, I did not stop my hands because it was more important to lift the seal. I just became more vigilant to prevent attacks. Hades, the King of the Underworld, was in charge of the "Hell Magma Pool", so I was afraid that this "Black Water Pool" would not be too calm.
With a loud bang, the center of the "Black Water Pond" was splashed with water 20 to 30 meters high. A black shadow rushed out of the water and jumped up to a height of more than ten meters. It was obviously an undead creature living in the "Black Water Pond". Judging from the momentum of its appearance, its strength should be quite tyrannical. It was difficult to tell what its intention was. I immediately put away the "Dead Scepter" and dodged backwards to ensure safety. But then the water surface continued to explode, and black shadows sprang out. Even several of them appeared silently on the ground beside the pond, cutting off my retreat and vaguely surrounding me and Shaman. However, the other party only showed up and did not seem to have the intention of launching an attack. I was not in a position to act rashly or use the "outside body incarnation" to escape, so as not to provoke the other party and intensify the situation. Since it was a mission, generally speaking, there should be a "peaceful" solution.
The black shadows stopped in mid-air, neither rising nor falling, revealing their true appearance. They were not bone dragons like the Hell Dragons, but looked more like Eastern dragons, with mummified bodies, completely black, with a huge dragon head on top, and two pupils flashing with dark and green light. The cross-sectional diameter of the body was about one meter, and the length of the body that was exposed above the water or on the ground was more than ten meters. The two front paws were suspended in the air, hanging on both sides of the body, and the two hind paws were firmly lying on the water or on the ground, with their heads lowered, staring at me and Saman.
The first black dragon that rushed out of the Black Water Pond looked the largest and seemed to be the leader. It slowly floated towards me. The nearby black dragons lowered their altitude and bowed their heads, as if to show respect to it. "I am Robinho, the Abyss Dragon King of the Abyss. Who are you? Why did you come to the Black Water Pond and disturb the peace of our dragon clan?"
It seems that they are a race that knows how to behave. I finally put my heart at ease. What I fear most is the barbaric guys who come up and kill, so I can only rely on force to solve the problem. In the battle in the "bottomless abyss", my undead army is powerful but difficult to use, and can't play a big role. "Respected Lord Robinho, hello, I am the undead wizard Ah Dai, I am sorry to bother you, I came to the "bottomless abyss", one of the four forbidden areas of the "dead space", according to his instructions, to find the "extreme yin water" in order to remove the seal of an artifact of the undead that was sealed by the light clan."
"No wonder I suddenly felt a strong force of light seeping into the 'Black Water Pond', causing the 'Ultra-Yin Water' to fluctuate violently. I thought it was the Light God Clan invading again and provoking the Light and Dark God War again. Well, I heard from Lord Death that there is an artifact of the Undead Clan sealed by the despicable Light God Clan that needs the power of the 'Ultra-Yin Water' to break the first seal. However, according to the time calculation, you seem to be much earlier than expected. It seems that you must be a leader among the Undead wizards, and your future is limitless. I was thinking, the 'Bottomless Abyss' is the second largest forbidden area. How could those guys allow outsiders to break in so easily and even get to me? It turns out that you have a mission from Lord , so they deliberately 'let the water' go."
Robinho's words solved a mystery that had been lingering in my mind. The fourth forbidden area, "Yellow Wind Valley", has countless devouring ghosts "guarding the door", and people are allowed to enter but not leave. The third forbidden area, "Hell Volcano", has an even harsher natural environment, and it is impossible to go deeper without effective fire-resistant equipment. How come the second forbidden area, which is more famous, seems to be in an unguarded state? As long as you pass through the territory of the corpse wizard, you can break in at will? It seems to be unworthy of its name, but it turns out that they didn't make things difficult for me just for the old man's sake.
"When Lord Death gave me the task, he did not tell me that the Abyss Dragon Clan lived in the 'Ultra-Yin Water', so I did not pay a visit in advance. I was anxious to complete the task of removing the seal of the artifact and took action rashly. If I have offended you, Lord Robinho, please forgive me."
"It's nothing. Ignorance is not a crime. But according to the God of Death, this artifact was sealed by the Angel of God Michael himself. It contains a very strong power of light. If you were to soak the artifact in the 'Ultra-Yin Water' to clean it, although it would break the first seal, it would consume a huge amount of energy. The quality of the 'Ultra-Yin Water' would also be severely damaged, which would directly affect the survival of our Abyss Dragon clan."
From the moment I found the "Ultra-Yin Water", I had a feeling that the mission would not be so simple, and there must be other additional conditions. "Excuse me, Lord Robinho, what conditions must be met in order to successfully remove the seal of the artifact?"
"It's actually very simple. You just need to find a way to replenish the energy lost by the 'Extreme Yin Water'. I have a 'Soul Bead' here, which can collect the souls of creatures before they dissipate at the moment of death. As long as you hold a 'sacrifice' ceremony to release the soul energy in the 'Soul Bead', the water quality of the 'Extreme Yin Water' can be restored. However, because the sealed light power is too strong, the souls of ordinary creatures cannot replenish the loss of the 'Extreme Yin Water'. It must be the six sacred beasts of the earth system, the Black Tortoise and Behemoth, the sacred beasts of the water system, the Golden Dragon and the Ultimate Hydra, and the sacred beasts of the dark system, the Great Demon and the Bloodthirsty Demon King. Take one from each type and control it with your own hands to collect their souls into the 'Soul Bead'. Only in this way can the first seal of the artifact be cracked without affecting the 'Extreme Yin Water'."
