"Yes, I caught it. Nelis, how are your injuries?" Salin remembered that the thunder dragon had severely injured Nelis with a single blow. Nelis had probably spat out several kilograms of blood at that time.
"Master, it hurts …" Nelis said halfway and realized that she was in her undead form. The three-meter-tall three-faced bone demon was really not suitable for acting coquettishly.
The winged skeleton laughed a few times at an inappropriate time. Nelis said gloomily, "This thing's attack is very strange. I'm afraid I won't be able to return to my normal form for more than half a month."
"More than half a month!" Salin was both worried and happy. He was worried that Nelis would leave some unhealable injuries. If Nelis had been pierced by an ordinary weapon, the wound would have healed the next day, and in three days, with the help of magic, she would have completely recovered.
However, the wound pierced by the silver tuna would actually take half a month to heal. It might take three or four months to restore the battle form of a little demon.
Salin was happy that he had caught the silver tuna. No matter how strong this magical beast was, it should have suffocated to death after leaving the water for a whole day. The water elements in the Dark Purgatory had all been extracted, and this magical beast could not produce any water for it to breathe.
Of course, the person who had paid the most to catch the silver tuna was Nicholas. He had burned his soul and offered his life force to cast the prophecy spell without any hindrance, causing the level-nine silver tuna to be unable to continue attacking and pause for a moment.
Without this pause, Salin's Eye of Lightning would not have been able to raise its power to the maximum, and he might not have been able to hit the silver tuna. The silver tuna's attack might even be able to resist the power of lightning.
Salin recalled the eight-meter-long spear that had stabbed at him and still felt a little frightened. He was not a demon. If his body was hit, he would probably be pierced by the spear and broken into two pieces.
So Salin decided to give Nicholas some of Myers' life force. His hand bones were completely deified, and the life force consumed would gradually be replenished and would not disappear completely. This left hand was also the key to his use of Crystal Finger. A level-eight magician still couldn't use Lafar's powerful skill at will. Once he used it, it would cause his arm to collapse, and it was even possible that his body would disintegrate.
Only by surpassing Rank Nine could he safely use a skill like Crystal Finger. His Left Hand of God could withstand the backlash from the Crystal Finger and could repair itself.
However, this could only be done after leaving the Frozen Ocean. Salin had to maintain his strongest fighting strength now. His crystal finger and his family badge were the last things he could rely on for this hunt.
The water puppet did not speak. Nelis had used her actions to tell it what courage was. If it were the water puppet, would it choose to abandon Salin and escape when faced with the powerful Silver Thread Tuna?
Perhaps not, but he might not be able to throw himself in front of Salin. With that in mind, the water puppet felt quite sad, as if a part of its past self had disappeared. Because he knew that if it was in the past, he would have done it even more thoroughly than Neris.
No, if this continued, it would be equivalent to him dying once. Even if he became a person, it wouldn't be him, but someone else!
How could he be the real him?!
The water puppet was confused. It felt that the life force that Salin gave it was vibrating, and its eyes were a little blurred. If this continued, it was afraid that its consciousness would be hurt again. The water puppet found that something was wrong, so it simply turned into a mass of water elements and went directly into the gourd at Salin's waist, and began to sleep.
Salin was stunned for a moment, but he didn't mind. After the water puppet had self-awareness and signed a contract with him, he could no longer directly feel the water puppet's thoughts.
"Nelis, my injury will recover in a day at most. Tomorrow, I will go to kill the Silver Thread Tuna. Bing, wait here for a day, and then continue!" Salin said, then returned to his cabin and practiced patiently.
His mental strength was too exhausted, and he couldn't recover it completely even after one meditation.
The Coiled Turtle Alchemy Ship did not stay on the ridge, but floated up and stuck to the bottom of the ice sheet. There were many snow-white shells here, layer upon layer, attached to the ice sheet. These shells were all low-level creatures, but occasionally there were special species that produced pearls.
The pearls of shell-type magic beasts all had some special properties, which were very useful for magicians. The Winged Skeleton simply sent out the undead to pick the shells. With the Gaze of the Undead, he could clearly see where the shells and pearls were.
Salin rested for a day, meditated several times, and finally recovered his mental strength. He checked carefully, and after confirming that there were no sequelae, called Eleanor, and entered the Dark Purgatory.
In the Dark Purgatory, Eleanor felt very annoyed. Her perception was deprived, and with her own strength, she could only see less than a meter in front of her.
"Master, I can't see anything." Eleanor felt that the space was filled with dark elements.
"Don't worry," Salin said, and released a level-seven spell — Perception Sharing. His Elemental Eyes could see a hundred miles away, and after Perception Sharing, Eleanor's vision immediately reached a hundred miles away.
Three miles away, the Silver Thread Tuna lay quietly on the ground, its head wrapped in a thick layer of water vapor. The Silver Thread Tuna breathed with difficulty, and didn't dare to move even half an inch. It was just struggling at death's door. The water it could produce was too limited, and when the power of the magic core was exhausted, it would suffocate to death.
Salin couldn't wait that long. He said to Eleanor, "Shoot it. Shoot its heart."
Eleanor nodded, took out Longbow Seven Nights, and nocked a spatial arrow.
"It's too far. I can't hit it."
Salin didn't say much. He walked forward with Eleanor for a while, and when they were about two thousand feet away, Eleanor stopped. "Master, it's done."
"Let's begin."
Eleanor nocked the arrow again, and without aiming, shot into the air.
The arrow disappeared from the bowstring, and almost at the same time, it appeared on the surface of the Silver Thread Tuna's body. The Silver Thread Tuna sensed danger, and before its scales could spring up, the arrow had already entered its body and shot into its heart.
To Eleanor, if a magical beast in the water couldn't move, and still couldn't hit its target, then she wouldn't be an elf, but a low-level creature like an ogre.
The Silver Thread Tuna's defense was strong, but the way the spatial arrow attacked was to tear through space. In fact, the arrow flickered a few times in the air, passing through who knew how many parallel spaces before shooting into the Silver Thread Tuna's heart.
With its heart pierced, the Silver Thread Tuna's body twitched, and it desperately rolled on the ground, unable to maintain the mist on its head. The Elven Spatial Arrow wasn't unbreakable. The best way to break it was to not be locked on by an archer. If the archer couldn't lock on, the Elven Spatial Arrow would disappear into an unknown parallel space, unable to hit its target.
If it was locked on by the Elven Spatial Arrow, it could be shot down the moment it returned to its original space. Although it was very difficult, Gold Sword Saints and above could still do it. 9th Rank High Mages could also use some equipment to achieve this effect.
Gold Sword Saints and 9th Rank High Mages couldn't compare to the Silver Thread Tuna in the water. But now, the Silver Thread Tuna's power was used to maintain its breathing, and it couldn't move quickly or release powerful spells. Eleanor's arrow was like shooting a fixed target, and it wouldn't make a mistake.
Long Bow Seven Night's attributes were powerful, but Eleanor, a 7th Rank High Mage, had killed a powerful 9th Rank Magic Beast with her arrow, mostly relying on the power of her equipment.
After standing in the distance for half an hour, the Silver Thread Tuna finally died. There was an arrow in its heart, a fatal injury.
Salin walked forward. The Silver Thread Tuna's huge body was more than six meters tall, lying flat on the ground. Salin went straight for the eight-meter-long spear. He patted the gourd at his waist and released a six-meter-long stream of water, which began to dissect the Silver Thread Tuna's body.
Salin was very careful not to damage the structure of the Silver Thread Tuna. The base of the eight-meter-long spear was connected to the skull of the Silver Thread Tuna. He first removed the skin and recorded the mageweaths on the bones before he started to cut the spear. The spear was hollow, filled with silver liquid and thin silver threads, which were connected to the Magic Core in the skull.
After removing the spear, Salin dug out the Magic Core. The huge Magic Core excited Salin, and he put it in his Demon God Ring. Then, Salin carefully removed the Silver Thread Tuna's six eyes, refined them with water flames, and put them away.
These six eyes had natural magic patterns that could lock onto a target in a strange way. When these six eyes looked at Sarlin, he couldn't move his body at all. If Nicholas hadn't used Prophecy, he and Neris wouldn't have been able to escape.
If Salin studied these six eyes, he would be able to create powerful weapons. For example, if he refined six Tiger's Eye Stones on the arrow and refined the magic patterns in the Silver Thread Tuna's eyes, the arrow would fix the target in place and make it difficult to move.
After putting away the most important parts, Salin began to dissect the Silver Thread Tuna's scales. These scales were special. Normally, they couldn't be seen. The silver liquid on the surface of the body made the Silver Thread Tuna almost immune to water resistance. In times of danger, these scales would bounce back, and their defense was comparable to a 9th Rank Spell.
