In schools, students are often divided into "ordinary classes" and "elite classes." In this joint exploration operation, the exploration workers were also divided into ordinary groups and elite groups.
The elite group is Sid, Hopes, Ruby and Dudu.
Each of the four of them has considerable strength. Even the weakest Hopps will not lose to those ordinary and skilled adventurers-his martial arts skills are not bad, and he can use two natural spells. The result of one is more likely to be greater than two. All in all, even though he seems to be quite a rookie, if he really wants to fight hard, unless he is a veteran like Ruby who has been licking blood for more than ten years, ordinary so-called "adventurers" really can't defeat him.
Of course, Hopps wouldn't be able to do that until the moment of life and death. Only when people are forced to the point of no return can their true strength be unleashed. For example, when Sui Xiong was an illustrator, he once heard a story: There was a senior illustrator in the industry who usually drew about once a week. painting. Once I was extremely short of money, so I decided to stop all entertainment and social activities, and painted for sixteen or seventeen hours a day. As a result, it took only two weeks to complete the work that usually took two months to complete, and the quality was quite good. .
Although the Mining Department of the Northwest Republic arranged such an elite team, it did not want them to be in real danger. The reason for this arrangement is just to be prepared, so that in case of any difficult situation, there will be a group of available manpower.
In fact, their preparations are quite sufficient and complete. Not only will these exploration workers be specially trained, but an elite team of adventurers will also be dispatched to enter the areas scheduled for joint exploration in advance to search and eliminate possible dangers.
More importantly, Sui Xiong also took action.
He sent a clone to float over the mountainous area and inspected it carefully.
In his eyes, the lush forests and thick rocks seemed to not exist, and only small and large light spots shone brightly. Every point of light is a creature—and a relatively powerful creature, at least equivalent to wild wolves and the like, which can pose a life threat to exploration workers.
These light spots are actually manifestations of the life energy of the creatures themselves. In other words, the more powerful the life energy of a creature, the brighter its light spots will be. So most of the light spots were ignored by Sui Xiong, and only a few particularly bright ones caught his attention.
"Strange, this place is not very remote, how could there be such a powerful creature?" He muttered, while flying towards the brightest light spot.
This light spot is hidden underground. Ordinary people may have to find a cave and then make several twists and turns before they can reach it. But Sui Xiong didn't have to go to such trouble. He transformed directly into the incorporeal form, ignored the soil and rocks, penetrated straight through, took a straight route, and soon arrived in front of it.
It was a huge fish that lived in an underground lake under a mountain peak. It has dull but thick armor-like scales. It has no pectoral and pelvic fins. Instead, it has four short legs that are thick and powerful at first glance. If you look closely, you can also find that the end knuckles of its limbs are all tentacles. , quite flexible.
This guy's head is huge, occupying almost half of the body, and the remaining part is more than half taken up by the tail. Although its entire body is about as large as seven or eight rooms connected together, it can actually be called The torso part is actually not that big.
Of course, if you want to swallow a handful of living people, there will definitely be no problem.
Sui Xiong looked at this guy with some confusion. With such a huge size, it was obviously impossible for it to travel to various places through the narrow underground rivers around it. How can such a huge amount of life energy be accumulated through what we eat
He hid himself in front of the giant fish, observed carefully, and found that this strange fish, which was so huge that it should not appear in fresh water, moved very slowly, as if it was hibernating.
Could it be that... it relies on hibernation to survive
Sui Xiong shook his head, denying this speculation.
Even if it is hibernating, it still needs to wake up occasionally and eat.
Here, however, it was impossible to find large amounts of food.
After a while, he really couldn't see the trick, so he tried to read the mind of this strange fish.
Unfortunately, this guy was so empty in his heart that he could hardly remember anything, just like an internet quote on Earth.
Sui Xiong only read a wonderful instinct in its memory.
Calling from another world.
This strange fish actually has the ability to summon from another world. The reason why it can grow so big is precisely because of this ability.
In other words, it uses summoning spells to summon creatures from other worlds to its own side, and then kills and eats them, thereby maintaining its own life and obtaining resources for growth.
It's unknown how many "summoned beasts" it has eaten to grow to such a big size.
After discovering this, Sui Xiong couldn't help but be curious, and used a little bit of his divine power to wake this guy up from his deep sleep.
The giant fish didn't react quickly, and it took about half a day to fully wake up. After it woke up, it first moved its body and swam back and forth a few times in the underground lake, which was no longer wide enough for it. Then it stretched its limbs, and its tentacles whipped in the water and in the air like a storm, making sharp noises. Ringing, Sui Xiong clearly heard the continuous sonic booms, which meant that the end of its tentacles had even exceeded the speed of sound.
Not only that, the dull scales on its body also began to glow, emitting colorful lights. This is the power of magic, which means that it can cast many spells, and the power must be high.
Seeing this, Sui Xiong had already labeled this guy "dangerous" in his heart.
Although it was nothing to him, this guy was powerful enough to cause a disaster on the ground. If it attacks a certain port, ordinary ports may not be able to withstand its attack.
After moving for a while, the giant fish sank quietly to the bottom of the water and remained motionless, seemingly resting. A little while later, when it was almost dark outside, it surfaced again, with the gills on both sides of its head flipping up and making a strange sound.
That's why it's chanting a spell.
Its spell is not long, but it is full of chaos, gloom, and almost maddening malice.
This is a language from the abyss. If ordinary humans do not receive spiritual protection, just listening to this language will cause certain harm to them, and they may even go crazy or even die.
Accompanied by gloomy spells, the giant fish painted wonderful patterns in the air with its tentacles. Even Sui Xiong couldn't fully identify the meaning of these patterns. He could only judge that they symbolized hell, but which hell did they symbolize? What other meaning does it have? He doesn't know.
But Sui Xiong could already tell that this guy was summoning a demon from the abyss.
(How strange!) He thought, (What on earth does this guy want to do? Does it want the devil to find food for itself? This is not very reliable...)
