In the dream of the sea, lives were lost and the sea water was dyed red.
Offer, self.
Get, happiness.
If Xia Yi remembered correctly, the people influenced by the Dream of the Sea said this, and this should be the current situation.
She felt terrible from the bottom of her heart.
The black tide was actually used as a consumable. In this huge disaster that swept across Gold, countless innocent lives were lost, forever buried in the depths of the sea.
thump.
The priest tapped his staff gently.
A human girl appeared in the kneeling black tide. She followed the path the priest had just taken, crossed the black tide, and walked to the altar.
The starlight shines, illuminating the girl's beautiful face.
Xia Yi was stunned and almost rushed out.
It’s my student, Hill!
Hill has not been infected by the dragon curse yet and is still a human, but he has been controlled by the Siren's song and there is no luster in his eyes.
Before, when they were in the seaside city, when Xia Yi and Sera rushed to the beach, Hill had already walked into the sea.
It was at that time that she was carried away by the black tide and came here!
The chains bound Hill and hung her up, just below the essence of blood.
The priest looked at Hill, and saw the blood essence created by the sacrificial black tide constantly gathering above, and he showed great anticipation.
At this point, Xia Yi understood.
The reason why the half-dragon monsters in the Black Tide were sacrificed was because these guys were all defective products.
On this altar, the defective items are sacrificed, and the essence of their blood is used to create better and higher quality sacrifices.
And Hill was chosen to be the container that carries the essence of blood, becoming the most perfect sacrifice.
Originally, I should have been brought here as a sacrifice, but Ella helped me and I escaped halfway and survived.
Xia Yi's eyes changed.
If Hill were asked to carry such a high-purity blood essence, it would be absolutely impossible for a human body to bear it. Her life would wither within a few minutes and turn into a twisted monster.
But the priest doesn't care about that, he just wants a perfect sacrifice.
It could be food for Leviathan, or it could be food for the person in the coffin...
But no matter what, Xia Yi would never tolerate such a thing happening.
But she did not let her anger get the better of her and rush out recklessly.
It will probably take some time before the essence of blood is completed.
During this period of time, Xia Yi can still do something, but next she will have to face the entire Black Tide.
We have to be quick and think of a countermeasure...
"correct!"
Xia Yi remembered something.
In the basement of the library, in addition to information about the history of the old world and Leviathan, there were also records of other things, such as everything in the ancient ruins city, but due to the urgency of the situation at the time, she had not remembered to read it all.
Those information can help me.
……
……
The new moon hung high in the sky, casting a cool white light.
The sacrificial ceremony went very smoothly and the essence of blood had been condensed.
The priest was very satisfied. Now it had come to the final step. All he had to do was inject the essence of blood into the container.
He raised the scepter and was about to guide the essence of blood into Hill's body, when -
Swish!
A stream of sword energy slashed the priest's arm, knocking the scepter away.
He looked down in astonishment.
A petite silver-white figure appeared in the black tide.
"Don't touch my students, monster."
29 Some Magic
Xia Yi, holding the rose staff, entered the black tide.
It was she who struck that sword just now, stopping the priest's actions.
After all, she is a sword master.
In terms of swordsmanship attainments, he is far superior to others.
As long as she thinks it is a sword, she can use it as a sword, and even attach sword energy to it.
To exaggerate a little, she can even chop others with a spatula.
She is not using the holy sword now, but the rose staff, not to show off, but for other deeper meanings.
"That's enough, Priest." Xia Yi raised his head and looked at the priest on the altar.
The priest was very surprised.
He did not immediately give orders to Siren to wake up the sleeping Black Tide, but instead observed the Silver Dragon Girl.
And that look in his eyes seemed to indicate that he wanted to communicate.
He stood on the altar, silent, as if waiting for Xia Yideng to come up.
Sure enough, this guy already has a certain degree of intelligence.
Xia Yi also had something to ask the other party.
So, under the watchful eyes of the priest, she crossed the black tide.
Those half-dragon monsters were immersed in the dream of the sea and unable to move, but when Xia Yi passed by the half-dragon monsters, they still felt something.
The temptation of the pure-blooded dragons made them restless even in their dreams.
These quantities...
Xia Yi made a rough estimate in her mind and estimated that there were probably tens of thousands.
I don't have the large-scale, long-lasting AOE attack like Sera. If I really face so many half-dragon monsters, I will definitely be in great danger.
Perhaps due to his judgment of Xia Yi's realm, the priest felt that he had a sure win, so he was not in a hurry and maintained a relaxed attitude.
Xia Yi stepped onto the steps leading to the altar above.
The altar is located on the sea water, and below it is connected to the sea outside.
When she stepped onto the central altar, she could finally see the priest's appearance clearly.
His body was very close to that of a dragon, even his appearance was the same, his pupils were black vertical pupils, and the scales all over his body also revealed a dark luster...
Xia Yi had never seen such bloodline in the dragon clan.
It doesn't seem to belong to any of the regular dragon species.
What kind of dragon curse has this priest been cursed by...
"welcome……!"
The priest's voice interrupted Xia Yi's thoughts.
He opened his mouth and put on a weird smile, and the sound was extremely unpleasant, as if his throat was roasted by charcoal fire.
"can you speak?"
"meeting……"
The priest nodded and was silent for a moment.
"...other half-dragons...are different..."
"I can see that."
"You...are...a dragon?"
"You've never seen a dragon?"
"...I have seen...a battle...with the Beast of Jealousy..."
"The beast of jealousy?"
"...Leviathan."
"Oh."
Xia Yi understood.
The priest should be a special case in the Black Tide. His ability to adapt to the dragon curse is slightly better than other half-dragon monsters, and he can still retain some rationality.
It just looks like it's just a little bit, and he speaks hesitantly.
He must have completely lost his past self and can only rely on instinct and a few rational actions.
And this guy has never seen other dragons, he has only seen Sera who liberated the true form of the dragon.
Could it be that he behaved like this because he was affected by the dragon curse?
"It's great that you didn't...throw it away..."
"Throw it away?"
"You...are missing...I'm...worried..."
