After going into the sea, I met the witch lady

Chapter 137 Great Changes and Faith The Hidden in the Lava (Please subscribe)

Inside a wooden house in an uninhabited village.

Ryan sat by the campfire and looked at the small blue conch in his hand.

This is the communication tool that the other party gave him after he talked with the Phantom Beast Witch Meloye in the past - the sound transmission conch.

It's just that Ryan has never used this thing.

At the moment, he had some doubts and needed to talk to the Phantom Beast Demon Meloye, and then he remembered this thing.

Ryan tapped the bottom of the sound-transmitting conch three times. As he moved, the small blue conch began to fill with light.

"Ms. Meloyer, are you there?"

Ryan said softly.

However, after waiting for nearly half a minute, there was still no sound coming from the other side, which made Ryan frown.

"Not there? Or are you saying something unexpected happened?"

During this period, dragons and snakes were mixed in Santos City, and many professionals appeared. Under such circumstances, although the witch association's concealment methods were powerful, they could not ensure absolute safety.

In addition, Ryan's mind was basically on the "Overthrown Palace", and he didn't pay much attention to the Phantom Beast Witch Meloye because he couldn't judge the other party's situation.

After waiting for a few more minutes, there was still no sound coming from the other side. Ryan shook his head and put down the "Sound Conch".

"If you have time tomorrow, let's go to the hut where we entered the 'Witch Branch' before."

Ryan thought in his heart.

The Phantom Beast Witch Meloye had given him a lot of information help at the beginning, but if there was a chance, he would not introduce an appropriate helping hand.

After half an hour.

Ryan's eyes in the room moved slightly and he looked at the door of the wooden house.

I saw blue drops falling from the ceiling, condensing into the girl's slender body.

The first thing that formed was the fluffy witch hat. The tip of the hat swayed slightly, making people have the urge to pinch it hard.

After the hat, there is a slender figure.

Freni looked at Ryan sitting by the campfire, with a slight smile on her face.

Behind Freni, a translucent body appeared, with the moonlight escaping around the edge. It was Cecilia.

This method of using the moonlight to blend into the night was slowly mastered by Miss Wolf Girl after she gradually digested the Moon Wolf inheritance.

After carefully looking at Ryan several times and confirming that he was not injured, Freni was slightly relieved.

"Mr. Lane, it's great that you're okay."

Ryan's eyes swept over the two women and saw that they showed no signs of embarrassment. He roughly understood that the battle in the underground maze was not very intense for the two of them.

Most of the monsters that inhabit the first few floors of the underground maze are only second-level. With the strength of Freni and Cecilia, it is very easy to deal with them.

"Aren't you going back?" Cecilia said in a cold voice.

When she said go back, she meant back to the cave on the beach.

Ryan looked at Miss Wolf Girl speechlessly - the conditions in the beach cave were so difficult, who would want to live there if it was not necessary.

"No, this is an uninhabited village. It's not a big problem to use it as a temporary base."

Hearing Ryan's words, Cecilia nodded slightly and said no more.

Nowadays, most of the people on the outlying islands are gathered in the city of Santos. There is not much difference in the outer areas, beaches or villages.

"Mr. Lane, what do you mean by the 'weird sense of uneasiness' you mentioned in the subpoena?" Sitting down on the ground next to Lane near the bonfire, Freni hugged her knees and asked with a serious expression.

"call……"

Ryan let out a breath and roughly narrated the experiences before and after this special mission. Finally, he took out a small box and opened it, revealing the soft black mud inside:

"These are some black mud samples I collected after the death of the Hanged Man. Captain, see if you can recall anything."

Freni took the wooden box and frowned slightly: "The altar made of piled bones, the standing black reverse cross..."

I observed it carefully and tapped some black mud with my finger to experiment.

A few minutes later, Freni closed the wooden box and her face became extremely heavy.

"I remembered where I saw records about the Black Robe Organization."

Hearing this, Ryan's eyes sharpened, and he sat upright, listening to Miss Witch's story.

"That should be regarded as a miscellany. It doesn't even have a title, so my impression of it is very shallow." Freni said softly:

"The general content of this miscellany is to record the fragmentary stories of a traveler's travels in various countries on the mainland."

"There are several later stories, which record a cult organization that wore black robes and could transform into a black monster snake. Because of its existence, many small kingdoms were burned to the ground and turned into ruins under the raging fire."

"This miscellany was written hundreds of years ago. It does not have more specific descriptions of this cult. Most people who have read it just regard it as an interesting story. After all, among the many kingdoms in the mainland, in addition to standing at the top Except for those few, the other small kingdoms have been updated and iterated countless times over the past millennium."

"Although the specific name of this cult is unknown, according to the records of the story, almost all places where it has appeared have turned into boundless purgatory, without exception."

After listening to Freni's story, Ryan's eyes became heavy.

If it were just a story, it wouldn't be anything. But if you connect this story with "The Hanged Man", then everything is probably not groundless.

That weird spirituality, the squirming and sticky black mud, the terrifying ability to resurrect from the dead...

Now, although the "Hanged Man" is dead, for some reason, Ryan always feels a faint sense of depression in his heart.

At his level, the so-called "premonition" is by no means formed for no reason. It is more like a warning to him after the body receives various information and combines them.

Fortunately, he, Freni and Cecilia are now far away from the center of the whirlpool that is the underground labyrinth. Even if something happens on the island, it is unlikely to affect them. If this is not possible, the three of them can directly Grab a pirate ship and run away.

With this thought, Ryan felt relieved a little.

"That's it. Unfortunately, there is no further information." Ryan sighed slightly, and then said: "Get some rest first, Captain, Miss Cecilia, you guys have had a hard time going deep into the underground maze to collect materials."

"You should also go to bed early." Freni said softly.

She knew that compared to her and Cecilia, Ryan, who followed the "Overturned Palace" to perform special tasks, was truly tired.

That experience, even as an observer, was frightening to her.

"Yeah." Ryan nodded and stood up: "There are quite a few cabins here. I've packed this one up for you to live in. I'll go next door."

"If anything happens, just call me."

Watching Ryan's back disappearing around the corner of the door, Freni's eyes showed a hint of complexity.

Speaking of which, her original intention of recruiting Mr. Lane as her partner was just to find a navigator. She never thought that after experiencing so much along the way, the relationship between the two parties would become closer, and it was originally just a new career. The newbie on the road has now grown into a pillar of the team...

"I want it too, just have to work harder..."

The witch lady said this silently in her heart.

“Under special circumstances last night, I was unable to visit. I can’t miss it again tonight.” 　　　…

When he came to the wooden house next door, Ryan briefly cleaned it up and took out a small raft from the space ring to use as a bed.

He often sleeps on the raft, so much so that he can no longer adapt to sleeping anywhere else.

Ryan laughed, then lay down on the raft, quietly waiting for the arrival of 0 o'clock.

As the cooling of the "Travel Function" of [Unnamed Ship Sculpture] ended, Ryan closed his eyes and thought silently:

"Travel, start!"

……

Santos City, central area, Libra Holy Church Main Hall.

Inside the splendid cathedral.

Pope Saint Berg of Libra stood alone in front of the huge stone statue with a vague face, silent.

At this moment, except for Pope Libra, there was no one else in this palace, which symbolized the supremacy of Libra's divine power. It seemed empty and cold.

Libra Pope Saint Berg slowly raised his head and stared at the gods. As the most loyal servant of the gods, there was no trace of faith in his eyes:

"The temples and artifacts all demonstrate your greatness..."

"However, since I joined the Libra Holy Cult, as the person closest to the gods, even I have never looked up to your face..."

"I don't even know if you really exist..."

"In this golden era, do gods really exist?"

Libra Pope St. Berg's tone was slightly confused.

"Since I can't see the gods in person, let me witness the things that existed in the era of gods..."

In a tone that gradually became more passionate, Pope Libra raised his hand, and a drop of pure and flawless golden liquid dripped from his fingertips and seeped into the ground.

If someone could see through the underground rock formation, they would find that this drop of metallic liquid fell faster and faster, deeper and deeper into the underground maze, and finally landed on the ground before the entrance to the ninth floor.

As it blended in, the lifeless black mud began to squirm slightly after a period of time, and this phenomenon quickly spread to all the black mud.

After an unknown amount of time, the humanoid body of "The Hanged Man" re-condensed, but the only difference from before was that at this moment, a golden scale mark appeared between its eyebrows.

Like a puppet, it took stiff steps and trembled before arriving at the 100-meter stone gate.

As it pressed its hands on the stone door, the golden veins quickly spread and soon covered the entire stone door.

A huge golden scale mark appeared on the 100-meter stone door. The next moment, the mark shattered.

Terrifying cracks appeared on the stone door.

All professionals in the entire underground maze can clearly feel the strong vibrations on the ground.

At the same time, the pupils of all the monsters in the maze turned as scarlet as blood, and they, who were already very aggressive, became completely crazy. Not only did they actively attack the professionals, but they also bit each other.

In an instant, the professionals suffered heavy casualties.

The sudden change caused all the adventurers to panic and want to escape from the maze. However, it was easy to get in, but not so easy to get out.

The originally open entrance to the maze was now blocked by a layer of pale golden film. Even a full blow from a level 3 hero professional could only cause slight ripples on the film.

There is a golden film blocking the road in front, and behind there are monsters that are violent and have greatly increased their combat power. At this moment, the professionals trapped in the underground maze are desperate.

The rich smell of blood permeated the entire underground maze, and at the entrance to the ninth floor of the underground maze, behind the broken stone door, a huge eye slowly opened from its long sleep.

……

When the vision in front of him became normal, Ryan had arrived on the "raft".

After habitually glancing at the mast and not seeing the "letter for help", he stood up and walked to the bonfire.

As the sparks scattered, he had teleported to [Bonfire Point - Volcano Cave].

The sudden rise in ambient temperature made Ryan lick the corners of his mouth.

After checking the supplies and making sure that the important material of fresh water was sufficient, he stood up and walked out of the campfire.

Standing in front of the entrance passage of the volcano, Ryan put on his armor, carried a sword on his back, and stepped in with a vigilant expression.

According to the notes left by the deputy leader of the hunting group, the monsters living in the volcano area are extremely powerful, and they are likely to be at the lowest level.

Although Ryan now has the strength to defeat [high-level] monsters, due to the huge tonnage gap between human bodies and special species, if he is unprepared and receives a sneak attack from [high-level] monsters, even if he is wearing [Ceratopsian] Armor], will also be seriously injured.

He couldn't help but be alert.

Entering the magma zone from the passage, the temperature of the environment has increased significantly. Fortunately, Elain's current fire attribute resistance can still withstand it.

He glanced around with solemn eyes.

There are several raised dark red rocks on the bubbling magma pool. No signs of the existence of monsters have been found yet.

Ryan let out a breath, raised his hand to hold the hilt of the sword behind him, and moved forward cautiously.

After walking for more than ten steps, he suddenly stopped.

Although he didn't find any signs of the monster's existence, for some reason, he had a vague feeling that he was being watched.

——If there are monsters, they are lurking around!

Ryan's heart trembled and he quickly made a judgment.

He trusts his instincts!

So, he stopped and scanned the surroundings more carefully and carefully. Whether it was the high rock ceiling or the gaps in the stone wall, he did not miss any place.

Soon, Ryan's eyes were fixed on a raised dark red rock on the magma pool.

"It didn't seem to be here just now, right?"

"The relative offset is at least three meters!"

Ryan's powerful memory allowed him to quickly make comparisons in his mind.

"I caught your tail..."

Ryan raised his hand, the dark gold blood-patterned gloves filled with light, and soon, a blood-colored spiral spear appeared in his palm.

The blood spear that has been fully consumed is not only more transparent in color, but also has complex lines spread across the body of the spear. A faint blood flame burns at the tip of the spear, giving people an indestructible feeling.

His eyes were fixed on the raised dark red stone. A second later, a mark similar to a "crosshair" appeared in Ryan's sight.

——This is the "locking" ability of the Blood Spear!

Without hesitation, he decisively threw the blood spear.

"Thorn--!"

The air tore and whined, and the bloody stream of light spanned a distance of tens of meters and accurately shot towards the dark red rock.

Feeling a strong crisis, the dark red rock no longer disguised itself. With the splash of magma, a huge black-red strange fish raised its head from it.

——[[Higher] Molten Fish Dragon]!
