"Wizard Abel, are you alright?" Ruin quickly asked as soon as he saw Abel.
"Ruin, I'm fine!" Abel said casually. He didn't look like he was in a fight. Of course, he didn't really fight.
"That's good. We're not far from our destination!" Priest Giant Horn pointed at a mountain in the distance and said, "We'll be there once we climb over that mountain!"
His anxiety disappeared as soon as he saw Abel. He had a detailed plan for this adventure. The reward was going to be huge, so he didn't want anything to go wrong.
Half-elf Leon smiled at Abel. To be honest, it would be weird if Abel didn't escape. Moving in a flash was a spell that even a Druil like him was jealous of. As long as a wizard was prepared, it was almost impossible to stop a wizard who wanted to leave.
The adventure team moved forward again, and Abel returned to the back of the team.
They encountered a few powerful spiritual beasts, but no one in the team asked Abel to fight.
To Barbarian Ruin, Abel had already given him a new lease on life. Now that he had stayed behind to cover for them, he was extremely grateful to Abel.
Half-elf Leon had his pride as an elf. The fire rock giant just happened to counter his ability, so he had to retreat. He needed to show Abel his power as an elf Druil.
On the other hand, Priest Giant Horn didn't want Abel to take too many risks. In his mind, Abel was just an elite wizard who had just come to the Central Continent from a subcontinent and wanted to show off his power.
Priest Giant Horn thought it was a childish thing to do. Abel, as a rank 16 wizard, was fighting against a rank 18 Knight in Sland City.
When he was fighting against the Blizzards, he killed two of their elite wizards, and when he was facing off against the Blazing Rock Giant, he stayed behind to block the Blazing Rock Giant.
Priest Giant Horn didn't understand how a wizard like that could become an elite wizard alive. Normally, at their level, no matter what profession they were in, they would have experienced too many things. They wouldn't risk their lives for no reason.
Just like that elite Knight, Priest Giant Horn only sent out his bone wall. He didn't take any risks and just joined the battle.
He didn't want Abel to lose his life too quickly. He wanted Abel to live longer, at least not before he achieved his goal.
"We're here!" Priest Giant Horn pointed at a large lake in front of them.
He didn't think that there would be such a beautiful and calm lake in this dangerous area. The lake was so clear that he could see the bottom of the lake at a glance.
The water plants at the bottom of the lake swayed gently in the water. Everything seemed so peaceful. It was like this place was a paradise in this dangerous place.
Since it was so clear, you could see if there was any danger in the water. Therefore, if there was any danger, you would be the first to notice it. There was no unknown danger like normal water.
"Priest Giant Horn, are we going to cross this lake?" Abel asked. This lake was too big. If they wanted to go around it, they would have to take a long detour. However, crossing the lake required tools.
He didn't want to expose his flying mount, no matter what kind. It was his trump card. He just came to the Central Continent, and he didn't feel safe here.
"Wizard Abel, don't worry. We're already prepared!" Priest Giant Horn said with an ugly smile on his wrinkled face.
Afterward, he took out a stack of components from his portal bag. Barbarian Ruin and half-elf Leon did the same. They were all made of wood.
The three of them worked together, and in less than 20 minutes, those components turned into a small boat.
Although the boat wasn't big, it could still fit the four of them. Each of them also had a paddle.
Everyone put away their mounts and got on the boat. Abel was the last to jump on, and the boat sank a little. He was no lighter than Barbarian Ruin. With 100 points of constitution, Abel was almost the same weight as Barbarian Ruin, who was a lot taller than him.
The people on the boat were all experienced adventurers. They could tell how heavy Abel was as soon as the boat sank. They looked at each other in shock.
Priest Giant Horn didn't believe Abel was that heavy. No matter how hard a wizard trained, there was no way he could be heavier than a Barbarian. Maybe …
Priest Giant Horn glanced at Abel's waist and body. It seemed like he was looking for some kind of treasure. According to his guess, Abel was wearing some kind of defensive treasure. It must be very heavy.
Also, if an advanced wizard was wearing something like that, it had to be very precious.
He had made a deal with Abel before, and he knew that Abel didn't seem to care about normal precious items. Abel was willing to give up almost 40 holy knights that were severely injured, and he didn't even care about the holy knight equipment on the ground. Abel must have a lot of money on him.
Greed flashed in Priest Giant Horn's eyes, but he quickly hid it.
Barbarian Ruin had a different opinion. How could a person who could create a skill similar to the Barbarian's top level skill 'whirlwind', or a simplified version of the 'whirlwind', be weak?
Even he had to use a lot of effort to use that spell, but Abel could do it so easily. This showed how strong Abel was.
Half-elf Leon was curious. He wanted to know what kind of human Abel was. Abel had a soul speaker ability that was rare even among the elves, and a battle technique that even Barbarian Ruin was impressed by.
Abel didn't care about what his teammates thought. He began to row the boat. It was a strange feeling.
If he wanted to cross the lake by himself, he could just "move in a flash" on the surface of the water. Of course, not all advanced wizards could do that.
Moving in a flash required an elite wizard to move in a flash as fast as possible. You had to be so fast that you had to appear on the surface of the water before you even entered the water.
Abel didn't care about the lake at all, so he was very relaxed. He felt like he was having fun.
The other three also began to row the boat, and it quickly headed towards the center of the lake.
"Wizard Abel, our target is the center of the lake!" Priest Giant Horn finally revealed the location of the ancient sight.
Abel couldn't help but open his eyes wide. The lake was too clear. He could see everything at the bottom, but he couldn't see anything special about the center of the lake.
But then again, if they could really see something different, would they even have a chance to explore the ancient sight?
"Why is there nothing alive in the lake?" Abel suddenly asked.
Just now, he had a strange feeling, but he couldn't pinpoint where it came from. Now, when he paid attention to the water, he realized that the boat had been sailing for such a long time, but in the crystal clear water, there were no other living creatures except for aquatic plants.
A lake this big should have at least some small fish and shrimps, let alone big fish. There should be some bugs in the water. However, this place was so clear that it made people's hearts go cold.
"Giant Horn, something is wrong. It wasn't like this the last time we were here. Did we release something from the ancient sight?" Half-elf Leon said. He put his hand in the water and said, "There is no life!"
Abel could feel his intuition warning him, but he couldn't see anything dangerous with his eyes.
"Everyone, be careful! It's dangerous!" He instinctively trusted his intuition. The Knight's intuition was something he relied on since he was a novice wizard. It had always warned him when there was danger. The quieter the place, the more accurate the warning.
After he finished warning his teammates, he flashed away from the boat and appeared on the surface of the lake in a flash of white light.
As soon as his feet touched the water, an icy qi emerged from the bottom of his feet. The water under his feet turned into ice cubes, and the floating ice cubes lifted his body above the water.
As soon as he left the boat, a hole appeared where he was sitting. A transparent tentacle reached out from the hole. It didn't attack Abel, so it attacked the others.
It wasn't easy to do anything on the boat, and there was a hole in the boat, so the others had to leave.
Half-elf Leon was the most convenient. He waved his hand, and a poison creeper appeared in the water. The poison creeper was like a long snake in the water. Its body kept twisting, but it could keep a part of its body above the water. Half-elf Leon stood on top of it.
Priest Giant Horn cast 2 bone walls at the same time, forming a cross on the water. He stood on top of the bone wall, and the bone wall shook a little on the water as if it was about to sink.
He activated the 'bone wall' with both hands again, and the densely packed 'bone wall' finally formed a flat surface made of bones that floated in the water.
He couldn't stay on top of the bone wall for too long. Once the death qi in the bone wall was exhausted, the flat surface would disappear.
Of course, he could keep using the 'bone wall' to maintain the flat surface, but there was an invisible enemy in the water who wouldn't give him the chance to maintain the 'bone wall'.
"Ah!" Barbarian Ruin was the most helpless. He didn't have any ability to do anything in the water. He couldn't stay on the water, and if he went into the water, his close combat ability would be useless.
The only thing he could do in the water was to wait for the invisible monster to attack. It was almost impossible for him to fight back.
Just when he was about to fall into the water, Abel cast an ice pole at the place where he was about to land. When his body landed on the water, he realized he was standing on ice.
"Wizard Abel, thank you!" Barbarian Ruin yelled.
He then let out a loud roar and activated the 'Howl' spell. A golden wave of light spread out from his body.
"I'm sorry, I can't help you guys in the battle!" He said apologetically after his roar.
Of course, everyone on the water knew that. The Barbarians' fighting style made it impossible for them to fight on the water. Barbarian Ruin's only way to save himself was to use a "howl" to chase away any monsters that might get close to him.
"It's the same for me. I can't do much in the battle!" Half-elf Leon added. He summoned 5 ravens, but they couldn't find the target. The target was invisible, and the ravens couldn't even attack it in the water.
"My skeletons can fight in the water, but they might be slower. What about you, Wizard Abel?" Priest Giant Horn looked at Abel with hope in his eyes.
"Wait, I'll find the monster first!" Abel lowered his voice.
He was sure that this invisible monster was at least a top-level spiritual beast. He didn't expect to see 2 top-level spiritual beasts in the Holy Continent in such a short amount of time in the Central Continent.
This meant the Central Continent was a lot more dangerous than the Holy Continent. If he wasn't curious about the ancient sight, he wouldn't have come here.
While Abel was thinking about how to fight, Priest Giant Horn had already summoned 8 skeletons. His skeletons were different from the ones in the Holy Continent. It didn't matter if he lost them. He could just summon them again as long as he had a body.
However, the skeletons he summoned again lacked battle experience. They needed to go through a few more battles before they could fully recover.
"Wizard Abel, I'll help you find it!" Priest Giant Horn yelled as he watched his skeletons dive into the water.
A beginner curse, "damage increase," appeared in his hand. The biggest advantage of this curse was its wide range. As long as a hostile creature was within its range, it would be cursed.
Also, a curse light would appear on the body of a creature that was cursed. That way, it could break the monster's invisibility.
Priest Giant Horn was right, but there was no movement on the calm water surface. Even the waves were caused by the wind. The boat they were on was slowly sinking into the water.
