A series of blisters emerged from the bottom of the lake and fluttered and burst on the water.
Sean and others stood by the lake waiting.
Soon, Harding emerged from under the black water lake.
His face was a little pale, probably because he had been lurking in the water for too long, but to Sean's surprise, Harding's eyebrows were covered with frost. It can be proved that the water temperature at the bottom of heishuize lake is not as simple as minus 30 degrees, maybe even lower. Otherwise, it is impossible that even the existence of Harding, a strong saint in the holy land, will be affected.
"How?" Sean asked.
"The surrounding edge is about three or four meters, but the more you dive towards the center of the lake, the depth will gradually deepen. After swimming out of hundreds of meters, it will almost reach a depth of about ten meters. However, it still belongs to normal temperature at this time, and there is no strange place around." Harding shook his head as he climbed up from the bottom of the lake, and then reached out to pat off some ice debris. "It will take about 500 meters to swim out, and the depth of the lake will be less than 20 meters..."
At this point, Harding couldn't help glancing at specter.
Sean keenly noticed this and asked, "what's the matter?"
"Although the lake looks very vast, according to my experience, in fact, the East and West should be less than 3000 meters long. It is not a simple thing to go 500 meters downstream without any help, especially diving." Harding directly said the specific situation, "moreover, it seems that no one is patrolling from our side, but in fact, as long as we swim 500 meters, there are fishing boats of Blackwater tribe on the lake. It's difficult to hide in the past without being aware of it."
Even Harding said it was difficult, so it was not a simple thing to sneak into the bottom of the lake secretly.
But after hearing what Harding said, Sean generally understood what Harding had just looked at specter. Obviously, even the strong in the Holy Land feel a thorny problem, but he, who is just the top of the Silver Peak, can say it so easily and summarize it before Sean and others arrive. If Sean doesn't know that specter's career is a lurk, he will also have doubts.
I wonder if specter is clumsy, or if there is any conspiracy or something.
We can't blame Sean or Harding for being suspicious. We can only say that this is a common problem in the miracle continent. After all, the void is too important, and the enemies who have fought with Sean have finally found the importance of the organization under Sean, so infiltrating nature is also their only choice. Unfortunately, it has not been successful so far. After all, William and elikate and rupee, who are proficient in camouflage and anti tracking, are the gatekeepers.
Of course, Sean was curious about specter's origin.
Because judging from his speech and behavior, this guy is obviously not a civilian or orphan. Just because this is not the time to explore, Sean temporarily suppressed his inner doubts and was ready to ask William or rupee when he went back, of course, if he could remember.
"Oh, actually, I wanted to say it when you dived." Specter's IQ was obviously good, so when he heard what Harding said, he knew what was going on. "Well, in fact, I've been observing here for many days, so I found a safer route to sneak in, but there are only three chances to breathe..." while saying this, specter also took out a bamboo tube from his body, "... and you have to use this to breathe."
Harding glanced at the gadget in specter's hand, and then asked curiously, "what's this?"
As a resident from the underground world, HARTING's world has always been relatively straightforward in fighting. Although there are actions like assassination and beheading, due to the geographical environment and other factors, he rarely needs to use some side tools. Therefore, the behavior of using bamboo tube diving to breathe like specter is naturally incomprehensible to Harding, but with specter's explanation, this guy soon understood the purpose of this thing.
"With my ability, about 700 meters is basically the limit." Specter said, "but my eyesight is actually pretty good, so I can still see the location of the middle of the lake. I don't know the specific situation, but I think there seems to be an island there."
"Island?" Sean was stunned. "Island in the middle of the lake? Why didn't you mention this in the intelligence feedback. "
"Because I'm not sure." Specter shook his head, "how to say, because the distance is too far, and the surrounding environment has always been patrolled by people from the Blackwater tribe. I don't have much time to observe quietly, so I'm not sure There are clear indicators in the intelligence feedback of the void territory. All unconfirmed clues and intelligence are not allowed to be recorded, and only intelligence with definite evidence can be recorded. "
Speaking of this, Spector paused slightly before continuing: "moreover, there are clear regulations in the void, and I must report every other period of time, so I can't wait here slowly until all the observations and investigations are clear before making a detailed report However, I have mentioned these clues in the secondary information feedback, and the above also agrees with my practice of continuing in-depth investigation. "
Although Sean doesn't know the specific operation mode of the void realm, he also knows that the void realm does have multiple intelligence ratings.
Generally speaking, the members of the void territory who are dispatched to perform tasks must give priority to the return of mission target information, and the types of information that need to be reported are naturally different according to the situation of task dispatch. For investigation tasks, there is information about the enemy's strength, the level of defense strongholds, the number of strong people, etc. as for the most important enemy action prediction, it is not the task of the void territory, but the intelligence of the void territory will be handed over and then analyzed and studied by the staff department responsible for intelligence analysis.
Of course, there are occasional trends of a second army in such investigation missions, or rumors of other strong men entering when lurking in a city, and so on. These information are secondary information that may or may not be related to the main task. Such intelligence allows the members of the void territory to make a general task report and description first, and then conduct more detailed investigation and spying after the above confirmation or approval and re issuance of instructions.
"I just didn't expect that someone would come so soon." Specter continued, "and Lord Sean, you come in person."
"Because there's something I need here." Sean said.
Before listening to specter's report, Sean had found that it was difficult to start with the Holy Ghost skeleton. At least it didn't look like a strong man of lower gold. According to the general systematicness, there were only two possibilities. The first is that this thing is really not a prop that can be started at the current stage. The second is that if you want to start this thing, you need other means to get it.
If the manuscript had not explicitly mentioned the "Holy Ghost skeleton" many times, Sean would certainly choose to turn around and leave at this time, because since it is not something that can be started at this stage, there is no need to continue wasting time. So Sean guessed that the current situation should be the second situation, that is, he needed some other means to start with the Holy Ghost skeleton.
Sean's first consideration was the Pearl of the deep sea.
This thing allows players to gain the ability to dive regardless of water pressure and oxygen. If there is this thing, it is easy to dive to the bottom. However, man is not as good as heaven, not to mention that he doesn't have a deep-sea pearl now. Even if he really found the imitation of the deep-sea pearl that should have existed on the Golden Knight in Mann's stronghold, he may not be able to enter here at this time.
Because there is also an underground city of mermaid capital in the water demon's Secret collection. According to the situation at that time, Sean will certainly choose to explore that underground city.
So after all kinds of consideration, Sean would let Harding dive into the black water first to see the situation.
"It does look like a floating island." Seeing Sean's eyes looking at himself, Harding nodded, "the floating island in the middle of the lake looks about 30 meters deep into the bottom of the water. It seems to be connected with the stone layer at the bottom of the lake, but it doesn't. There is still a distance between the low end of the Island in the middle of the lake and the bottom of the lake But I'm not sure about the specific situation, because diving to 35 meters is my limit. I think I'll be very stressed if I go down. "
"Did you see anything at the bottom of the lake?" Sean asked nervously.
As a demon descendant of the underground world, HARTING has excellent dark vision ability, so even if the lake bottom is dark, it must be difficult for HARTING. Although Sean had guessed about the general whereabouts of the Holy Ghost bones after hearing the descriptions of HARTING and Specter, he still didn't give up. If the Holy Ghost bones were really deep at the bottom of the lake, Sean could think of some ways to help HARTING spend the last five meters or so, so as to avoid the direct confrontation with the Blackwater tribe.
But it's a pity that even God didn't help Sean this time.
"No." Harding shook his head. "I didn't see anything at the bottom of the lake except danger If you have to say, there is probably a layer of mercury like material on the surface of the bottom of the lake. It looks black as a whole, but it has a silver texture, just like blood vessels. It looks disgusting. However, the surface volume of this layer of material is not small, with a diameter of about one meter. "
"Active abyss mercury." Hearing Harding's description, Sean knew what it was. "I see."
"So what?" Harding and specter asked curiously.
"The scope of the black water is so vast, and the more you dive into the bottom of the lake, the colder it will be and the greater the water pressure will be. Obviously, there must be something good at the bottom."
According to the game experience, the more dangerous things are, the more good things will be. This has long been familiar to countless players in the game. Therefore, if there is any strange or extremely dangerous place during the adventure, the players will try their best to conquer it. The purpose is naturally to take out the hidden treasures. But of course Sean couldn't explain these words too carefully, so he had to explain them a little in another way.
"I thought what I wanted should be at the bottom of the lake, but now I think it should be on that floating island. I thought that the people of the Blackwater tribe around me would go boating near the lake island every day. Now it seems that this is not the case at all. The place where they really rest should be the lake island. " Sean curled his lips and his tone was full of extreme dissatisfaction. "Now our biggest problem is how to enter the lake island unconsciously."
"What is active abyss mercury?" Specter saw that Sean didn't seem to have the idea of introducing this kind of thing, so he asked again.
"Abyssal mercury is a very special dark matter." Sean glanced at specter and then explained, "this thing is special because it has both the corrosiveness and coldness of the abyss and the toxicity of mercury. I think the extreme coldness of the lake bottom should be partly due to the abyss mercury, and judging from this, I'm afraid there are a lot of abyss mercury at the bottom of the black water lake. "
"These things are usually used as alchemy materials, but they can also be directly applied to weapons and equipment by special means. They can attach certain abyss resistance, poison resistance, or corrosiveness and corrosiveness to the equipment. The effect on dark creatures is not very obvious, but they have very considerable lethality to normal creatures." Sean paused first, as if to give specter some time to digest knowledge, and then continued: "active abyss mercury means that this thing has not yet become a solid state. However, active abyssal mercury is not suitable for forging weapons and armor. It can only be used in alchemy, because the toxicity of active abyssal mercury is the strongest. Even a slight contact with the skin will cause very serious damage. "
At last, Sean thought about it, and then said, "you know the heart of the abyss?"
"I know." Speck nodded, and then replied solemnly, "it is called the favorite poison of assassins together with 'whispering of the dead' and 'potion of the living corpse'. No matter which of these three poisons is taken by mistake, it is the result of death. The only difference is that the death status is different. "
Sean nodded and said, "well. In fact, the main material of the heart of the abyss is three drops of active abyss mercury. As for other by-materials, they are all things that can be replaced at will. Anyway, this poison is basically insoluble, so there is no difference in what by-materials are used, except the three drops of abyss mercury of the main material. "
"Wow!" Specter looked at Sean with more admiration. "Lord Sean, you are so knowledgeable!"
Sean said nothing more about specter's compliment. However, his heart completely lost interest in the black water bottom of the lake. If it was other treasures, Sean would consider collecting them, but if it was abyss mercury, he wouldn't bother to collect them. Although this kind of thing is a very rare resource in the miracle continent, it is actually of little use. Not to mention that he doesn't know the main preparation method of the heart of the abyss, just collecting abyss mercury is a very troublesome behavior.
If you are free and have mining methods in the future, you can visit heishuize again.
Now the most important thing is how to sneak into the lake island without disturbing the Blackwater tribe.
After hearing Sean's words, others also fell into meditation. Obviously, this problem is not easy. According to the detailed observation of HARTING and Specter, it is concluded that they probably need to swim a distance of about 500 meters to reach the lake island, and there is no time for everyone to breathe at this distance. In fact, as long as you swim a distance of about 700 meters, it is a very dangerous behavior to breathe in the lake, because there are too many fishing boats in heishuize.
Although these people seem to be just fishermen on fishing boats, for such a notorious tribe as the Heishui tribe, everyone in their tribe can recruit and be good at war. Maybe they don't have much parry in the face of strong people like Sean, but as long as Sean can't kill all the enemies in the first time, they will certainly give an alarm, and the result will be very troublesome.
"Can we try to negotiate?" Hitler asked with her head tilted.
"Er..." Sean looked at Hitler with a serious look on his face and finally determined that she was not joking, so he was a little embarrassed. "Blackwater tribe is a tribe that believes in ancestors. They don't believe in any gods. If it is other tribes that believe in gods, we can also borrow the name of the goddess of life, but the Heishui tribe has their own wizards and priests. Although the treatment is simple and rough, they really don't need the help of the goddess of life. "
"Or, Hitler, if you teach with them, I'm afraid they will catch you as a barbecue at the first time." Cecilia threatened Hitler maliciously, and sure enough, the latter showed a very frightened look, and whispered a curse of "damn barbarian", which made Cecilia giggle.
Sean and Harding also showed a helpless wry smile.
"Maybe you can try camouflage?" Spekett said, "I found before that the Blackwater tribe is not a completely closed tribe. They also trade with some people, but their behavior is very hidden. If we can sneak into the Blackwater tribe, then I'm sure we can steal a fishing boat. In this way, we can at least use the fishing boat to conduct covert operations and quietly approach the lake island With our strength, as long as we can change the air once, it should not be a problem to swim three or four hundred meters? "
"I can't." Hitler shook her head for the first time. "Don't say anything about breathing and diving. I can't even swim."
"Neither will I." Cecilia looked the same way.
So specter could only shrug.
"No, it might work." Sean's eyes suddenly brightened. "If we can get a fishing boat, we may not need to swim. We can directly get close to the lake island. After all, those guys around the lake island must return for rest."
"But fishing boats are different from those boats in the middle of the lake." Specter said with a puzzled look on his face, "if our fishing boat gets close, I'm afraid it will be found at the first time. Unless we can... "
At this point, specter was stunned because he clearly understood what Sean meant by the plan.
"See?" Sean smiled.
"I see." Specter sighed softly. "It's worthy of Lord Sean. The strategy is really powerful."
Hearing specter's compliment again, Sean suddenly felt some egg pain, because this kind of thing is not a strategy at all, it's just a normal action plan, and even specter himself can sort out his ideas in an instant. Sean believed that as long as he wasn't as stupid as a pig, he would know what he meant.
"What are you talking about?" Harding asked blankly.
"Er..." Sean seemed to feel that it was not as simple as egg pain, and he began to feel that he was insulting the pig?
