Chapter 86
In the school, students are often divided into "ordinary classes" and "elite classes". In this joint exploration operation, exploration workers are also divided into ordinary groups and elite groups.
The elite group is Sid, Hops, Ruby and Dudu.
Each of them has great strength. Even Hops, the weakest, will not lose to those ordinary skilled adventurers if they recognize him. He is still good at martial arts and has natural spells. The result of one plus one is probably greater than two. In short, although he seems to be a rookie, if he really wants to fight to the death, unless he is a veteran like Ruby who has been licking blood on his knife head for more than ten years, the so-called "adventurer" can't beat him.
Of course, Hops couldn't show such skills until the moment of life and death. People had to be forced to have no way out before they could burst out their true strength. For example, when Sui Xiong was an illustrator, he heard a story: There was a senior illustrator in the industry who usually drew a painting about a week. Once, he was extremely short of money and started to stop all entertainment and socializing, drawing sixteen or seventeen hours a day. As a result, it took only two weeks to do the work that usually takes two months to complete, and the quality was quite good.
Although the Ministry of Mining of Northwest Republic has arranged such an elite team, it does not want them to really encounter danger. The reason for this arrangement is to be prepared for any eventuality. If there are any difficult situations, there will be a group of people who can come up with it.
In fact, their preparations were done quite well and perfectly. Not only would these exploration workers carry out special training, but they also sent elite teams of adventurers to enter the areas scheduled to jointly explore in advance to search and eliminate possible dangers.
More importantly, Sui Xiong also took action.
He sent a clone to float over the mountain area and check it carefully.
In his eyes, the lush forests and heavy rocks seemed to be non-existent, with only light spots of large and small shining brightly. Each light spot is a creature - and a relatively powerful creature, at least equivalent to a wild wolf, the kind that can pose a life threat to exploration workers.
These light spots are actually the manifestation of the life energy of those creatures themselves. In other words, the stronger the life energy, the brighter the light spots will be. Therefore, most of the light spots were ignored by Sui Xiong, and only a few particularly bright ones attracted his attention.
"Strange, this place is not very remote, how could there be such a powerful creature?" He muttered, flying towards the brightest light spot.
This spot of light is hidden underground. Ordinary people may have to find a cave and turn several turns before they can come to it. But Sui Xiong doesn't have to be so troublesome. He directly transformed into a virtual body form, ignored the soil and rocks, penetrated through it, took a straight route, and soon came to it.
It was a huge fish living in the underground lake below a mountain. It had dull but thick scales like armor, without pectoral fins and ventral fins. Instead, it was replaced by four short legs that could be seen with thick and powerful at a glance. If you look closely, you can also find that the ends of its limbs are full of tentacles, which are quite flexible.
This guy has a huge head, occupying almost half of his body, and half of the rest of the body was occupied by his tail. Although his whole body was about seven or eight rooms connected together, the part that could be called the torso was actually not very large.
Of course, it is certainly no problem to swallow a living person.
Sui Xiong looked at this guy with some confusion. It was so huge that it was obviously impossible to travel around through the narrow underground rivers around him. What was the accumulation of such a huge amount of life energy by eating?
He was invisible in front of the giant fish, observed carefully, and then found that the strange fish that was so huge that it should not appear in fresh water was very slow in life, as if it was hibernating.
Could it be...it just survives by hibernation?
Sui Xiong shook his head and denied this speculation.
Even in hibernation, it needs to wake up occasionally and eat.
However, here, it is impossible to find a lot of food.
After a while, he really couldn't see the trick, so he tried to read the inner part of the strange fish.
Unfortunately, this guy's heart is empty, and he is like a famous online quote on earth, and he can hardly remember anything.
Sui Xiong only read a wonderful instinct in its memory.
Summoning from another world.
This strange fish actually has the ability to summon other worlds. The reason why it can grow so big is because of this ability.
In other words, it summons creatures from other worlds to itself by summoning spells, and then kills and eats them, thereby maintaining its own life and obtaining resources for growth.
It is unknown how many "summoned beasts" it has eaten.
After discovering this, Sui Xiong couldn't help but be curious and used a little bit of divine power to wake this guy up from his sleep.
The giant fish's reaction was unfast. It took about half a day to truly wake up. After it woke up, it first moved its body and swam back and forth a few times in the underground lake that was not wide enough for it. Then it stretched its limbs, and tentacles whipped in the water and the air like a storm, making sharp sounds. Sui Xiong clearly heard the continuous sonic boom, which meant that the end of its tentacles had even surpassed the speed of sound.
Not only that, the dim scales on its body also began to shine, emitting colorful light. These are the power of magic, which means that it can cast many spells and its power must be quite high.
Seeing this, Sui Xiong had already labeled this guy as "dangerous" in his heart.
Although it was nothing to him, this guy was powerful enough to cause a disaster on the ground. If it ran to attack a certain port, ordinary ports would probably not be able to withstand its attack.
After a while of activity, the giant fish quietly sank into the bottom of the water without moving, as if resting. After a while, it was almost night outside. It floated out again, and the gills on both sides of its head flipped, making a strange sound.
That's it chanting mantras.
Its spell is not long, but it is full of chaos, gloomy, and almost crazy malice.
This is a language from the abyss. If ordinary humans do not receive spiritual protection, just listening to this language will cause some harm to them, and may even go crazy or even die.
Accompanied by the gloomy spell, the giant fish painted wonderful patterns in the air with tentacles. Even Sui Xiong could not fully recognize the meaning of these patterns. He could only judge that they symbolize hell, but which hell they symbolize? What other meanings do they have? He is not sure.
But Sui Xiong could already determine that this guy was summoning a demon from the abyss.
