Chapter 145 Blood rains from the sky

Chapter 145 Blood rains from the sky

After noon, the temperature in the secret realm began to drop slowly.

The apprentices were busy with their own things and no one disturbed anyone else.

An hour later, Ivan noticed that the dense nets underground disappeared quietly, as if they had never appeared. It was conceivable that the nets would quietly emerge again tomorrow.

He tested his fighting spirit in his spare time.

The penetrating quality of Dou Qi is related to some kind of fluctuations, like a human-enhanced version of bat sound waves, which enables his Dou Qi to penetrate some objects and achieve the effect of "hitting the target from behind the mountain".

After continuous attempts, he accidentally discovered that he could attach his fighting spirit to the surface of the Swift Wood Silkworm's body. The fighting spirit would produce a wonderful resonance with the spring buds in the Swift Wood Silkworm's body, and the fighting spirit could exist for a short time even after the Swift Wood Silkworm flew away.

In fact, after the Great Knight's fighting spirit leaves his body, it will decay over time and distance. This is why the fighting spirit slash is most effective at a distance of four or five meters.

Due to the resonance of the Spring Buds, the decay rate of the fighting spirit attached to the body of the Swift Wood Silkworm slowed down a lot.

"Mumble--"

The Queen Silkworm looks dull, but in fact, it is the most intelligent one in the entire clan. After sensing Ivan's intentions, it became inspired and made rhythmic insect-like sounds, trying to delay the decline of its fighting spirit.

The chirping of insects, the fighting of insects, the buds of spring.

A special resonance was formed between the three, which made Ivan's eyes widen when he saw this scene.

Isn't this the key factor he has been looking for, the key factor that allows insects to also learn the breathing method?

The Queen Silkworm unexpectedly gave him a surprise without making any noise.

The fighting spirit eventually dissipated, the Queen Silkworm swung her tail unhappily, and turned into a wood silkworm that fell into his palm.

"Well done."

Ivan praised generously and even rewarded the Queen Silkworm with some green mulberry water.

"Mumble."

Ben is happy.

This made the confused Queen Silkworm feel very happy.

It is always difficult to finish the job, now that the key factor has been found, Ivan believes that he will soon be able to research a method for insect breathing, allowing the Swift Wood Silkworm to also become stronger through practice, which will surely be a more powerful helper for him at that time.

It is worth mentioning that as the Queen Silkworm’s strength increases, her ability to split offspring improves a lot.

Thanks to the efforts of the Silkworm Queen, the number of Swift Wood Silkworms has continued to increase. Excluding those that died accidentally, the entire population now exceeds four hundred.

Time passed, and it was the next day in a flash.

Noon was approaching.

"what happened?"

Like everyone else, Ivan looked unhappy and confused.

The temperature in the secret realm did not rise to the appropriate temperature quickly as they had guessed, but only barely reached the same level as yesterday.

Soon, some water-burned bubble fruits emerged from the ground.

Ivan didn't bother to think about the reason and started the task of catching the water bubble fruit.

Just like yesterday, the newly formed bubble fruits were still bright and hot, making people hate and love them at the same time. He put the bubble fruits into the crystal bottle one by one.

Half an hour later, the underground became quiet again, and the net hidden deep in the ground disappeared.

"Sure enough, it lasted shorter than yesterday, and the fruit density was not high."

He was mentally prepared, but still felt a little disappointed. At last count, he found 9 copies, a total of 14 copies including yesterday's.

It is quite far from the expected target.

If the situation remains the same in the next three days, many people will probably have some bad thoughts. It is impossible for all participants to leave empty-handed. Someone must collect 50 copies so that they can exchange for a bottle of Alva Water.

Thinking of this, Ivan glanced at his neighbor next door intentionally or unintentionally.

Coincidentally, Jefferson also looked at him, and their eyes met. Their thoughts were somewhat similar and somewhat different.

What the apprentices in the secret realm didn't know was that the sea was already undergoing turbulent changes at this time.

Spire on the sea.

The surrounding ships had already left and would not come back to pick up people until a few days later.

Inside the lowest level of the spire, Wizard Pence said with regret, "What a shame! Who could have thought that a sudden rainstorm would come? The secret realm can only function to this extent now. It is the result of our best efforts to maintain it."

"It's normal. The weather at sea is always changing. There is no fixed number."

"I can only say that they were unlucky. I hope the weather will be good in the next three days, otherwise there might be some trouble inside. I hope everyone will not get upset by this."

"As it should be."

Outside, the rain hit the spire, making crackling sounds, and the sea was rough. As the rain continued to fall, the sea level in a nearby area rose by several meters.

The wizards in the tower were in a very relaxed mood. They didn't care about the small disputes that might arise in the secret realm. As long as no one died, everything else was a minor problem.

Burns said again: "Wizard Bernardson, I heard that your academy has sent a fifth-level talent apprentice this time. Is it necessary for someone with his qualifications to seize the Water of Alva?"

At this time, a light screen composed of energy particles was floating next to the cylinder in the center of the tower. As he waved his hand, the scenery on the light screen changed, and Wayne's figure appeared clearly on it.

Bernardson said casually, "Who knows what he's thinking? I don't have a fifth-level talent." Whibek, the wizard from the Black Lagoon Shelter, said, "Hahaha, the ideas of geniuses are always very strange and confusing. It never hurts to experience more."

"makes sense."

Burns nodded.

In their eyes, an apprentice with fifth-level talent had almost reserved a seat as a wizard, so their attitude towards him was naturally different.

Under Pence's manipulation, the scene on the light screen changed again, vaguely revealing the interior of the entire secret realm.

It's a new day again. The sun is shining brightly and the sea is calm. It is a rare good day.

In the secret realm, Ivan could sense the change in temperature. As time went by, the temperature continued to rise, far higher than yesterday and the day before yesterday. This was the correct way to open it.

As we get closer to noon, the temperature and humidity rise.

He is ready to go and prepared for a big harvest.

'Tick-tick.'

Suddenly, sparse raindrops fell from the sky, and a little red in the raindrops was very suspicious.

It was rain, mixed with human blood.

Ivan couldn't help but look up, his pupils shrank slightly, and he saw something bloody on the rune array membrane above him, spreading rapidly, and something was falling. If he was not mistaken, it was the remains of a corpse that had been torn into pieces.

"Asshole, why are you causing trouble for me at this time!"

Things were going well today, but then something went wrong again. He didn't know what to say.

When Ivan was feeling a little uncomfortable, someone above was experiencing a life-and-death crisis.

Back to a few minutes ago, under Percy's manipulation, the small ship that had been lurking nearby took the opportunity to move out and risked being destroyed by crashing into a column of ocean current. The collision almost caused the small ship to be destroyed and the lives of the people on board to be lost.

Under the squeeze of the ocean current, the small ship's narrow and long hull suffered an unprecedented blow, and the hull kept compressing inward.

Especially in the middle and rear part of the ship, many places collapsed instantly, and several people were unable to avoid it and died on the spot.

Seeing that the entire ship was about to be squeezed into thin sheets, at the critical moment, Percy activated multiple backup measures to make the hull full again. There was an extra layer of protective film in the cabin, and the small ship successfully crashed into the ocean current.

However, after this compression and filling, a gap appeared on one side of the ship. The protective membrane was slowly recovering, with seawater continuously pouring in and being discharged by the protective membrane, carrying with it the people who had just been crushed.

The interior of the ship was in a mess.

"Flash Vortex Barrier, here I come."

Percy stood at the front of the ship, where the defense was the strongest. He chose to turn a blind eye to everything that happened behind him.

Hank on the side was a little upset, but he didn't complain. The risks had already been made clear, and he couldn't blame anyone if he died.

The ship was rushing towards the secret realm along with the ocean current, the distance was getting closer and closer, in a few tens of seconds they would reach the secret place where the water-burning bubble fruit was bred, and the things that were listed as forbidden by the regular academy would be theirs to take.

……

Inside the minaret

The moment the unexpected happened, the wizards could no longer remain calm.

They soon found out the truth of the matter. Someone was wantonly plotting to attack the Flash Vortex Secret Realm. The other party was riding the ocean current to get closer to the secret realm. The spire was quite a distance away from the secret realm, and it was too late for them to stop them.

Pence looked at the four people and said coldly, "The Flash Vortex Secret Realm is constantly moving. Even we cannot accurately lock its location. This situation can only mean one thing. One of the apprentices is an insider, and he has used some means to connect the inside and the outside."

At this time, there were five wizards present on the ground floor.

Hearing his analysis, the other wizards nodded slightly in agreement.

Bernardson reminded: "Everyone, now is not the time to pursue this, think about how to deal with it first."

This is true. Things have already happened. The most important thing is to calm the situation down and then find a way to slowly find the traitor.

"Such a lunatic should be killed."

"Leave it to the apprentices. I trust the students of our academy."

"That's right. They are all potential wizard seeds. It is impossible that we cannot handle this matter. Let's think about how to find out the culprit. The academy will never allow such people to exist."

“——”

Others spoke up one after another, their words filled with murderous intent like a cold winter. After a few words, the wizards discussed a countermeasure.

The images on the energy particle light screen in the center of the tower kept changing. After a while, the image showed that the enemy had entered the secret realm and had taken measures before they landed. An energy storage crystal was thrown out by them.

The energy storage crystal hit the spire they were about to approach first and catapulted to the ground. A large amount of thick smoke came out, which was ominously toxic and enveloped the surrounding area.

Immediately afterwards, one after another people broke through the ocean current column and fell into the area covered by smoke.

Some puppet creatures drank special potions and their bodies began to change. This must have been the preemptive move of these maniacs.

On the other side, the apprentices who were highly expected by the wizard stood together in twos and threes. Everyone was on guard and stood in front of the person who caused the commotion. Not far behind them was the center of the secret realm, which was also the core position of the secret realm. They did not act rashly and waited for instructions.

"Give the students orders."

Seeing that the students remained calm, the wizards were all satisfied. At Pence's urging, wizards from each academy issued new instructions.
