[Second Update, Monthly Ticket]
The air bubbles on the surface of Salin and Nelis's bodies were compressed and stuck to their bodies. The speed of their fall was so fast that Salin felt like his heart was about to spit out from his mouth.
When mages advanced to level-seven, they would do an experiment. That was to fall from a high altitude without using any magic, and only try to stop when they were a hundred meters from the ground. Some mages even dared to try to stop at a distance of less than fifty meters.
This kind of training could allow humans to quickly adapt to flying and no longer have fear. Salin had also done this kind of training, but now he felt that the speed of his and Nelis's fall was faster than during the magic experiment.
Salin, however, did not have any fear. He quickly calculated in his mind. At this speed, when he sensed the exact distance to the bottom of the sea, he would have enough time to use a skill to stop. Right now, his perception was only one kilometer. His elemental eyes were disrupted and temporarily ineffective. But he could still clearly see three to five hundred meters in front of him. Three to five hundred meters was enough for him to be fully prepared.
Salin was still thinking in his mind. If his teacher encountered this situation, what would he do?
Jason would definitely do better and be even more outstanding.
In her three-faced bone demon form, Nelis's perception was much further than Sarlin's. She was the incarnation of a level-nine undead, while Sarlin was a level-eight mage. Nelis could completely sense every detail within two miles. Revenants originally judged the environment by energy fluctuations.
This huge basin at the bottom of the sea seemed to have no bottom. To be exact, Salin and Nelis were attracted into the center of the basin, into a huge abyss. The two did not fall vertically, but diagonally forward.
There were no living creatures in this sea, including the most common underwater microorganisms in the Frozen Sea.
After almost a thousand kilometers, the suction of the abyss began to go down vertically. Salin did not want to resist. Although the suction of the abyss was great, with Nelis and his own abilities, they could completely return to the exit. Since this cemetery was designed by humans, even if they could not find the original exit, there would be another way to enter and exit.
What Salin was amazed was that the person who designed this cemetery was so generous. A huge abyss at the bottom of the sea, a vertical distance. If they were on land, they would probably be able to see the underground fire. In the underground fire, even rocks would melt into a liquid that flowed continuously. This abyss at the bottom of the sea seemed to have no end.
Ten Li, twenty Li, thirty Li!
Salin silently calculated. Suddenly, he felt the bottom of the abyss. On the surface of his and Nelis's bodies, a huge bubble forcefully expanded. If there was no attraction from the abyss, the two of them would immediately float up.
Eighty li deep!
Although this underwater abyss couldn't compare to the Abyssal Plane, the 80,000-meter depth still shocked Salin. What shocked him even more was that when he reached the bottom of the abyss and his Elemental Eye recovered, Salin saw countless piles of bones. Not only did they belong to the Horned Beluga Whale, but there were also many skeletons of magical beasts that Salin could not identify.
The Narwhal was only a medium-sized Magical Beast here.
This was the graveyard. Salin and Nelis released dozens of intermediate spells at the same time, forming a buffer under their feet. The water shot upward, slowing down Salin and Neris's falling speed.
The water flowed to the bottom of the sea, but there were no holes at the bottom of the sea. This powerful attraction came from the earth. The earth element at the bottom of the sea was so dense that it was difficult for Salin to absorb the air he needed to breathe underwater. The Water Elemental Body was no longer useful here.
And the water pressure at 80,000-meter depth made it difficult for Salin's Water Elemental Body to adapt.
Nelis was fine. Although her Three-Faced Bone Devil could not control the Water Elemental Body, it could still adapt to this strong pressure.
If the Coiled Turtle Alchemy Ship came here, it would have been crushed into a ball.
Salin did not see the Narwhal. This seemed to be only the periphery of the graveyard. The skeletons that Salin saw were basically level-nine Magical Beasts. Most of them belonged to the Narwhal.
Salin gestured to Nelis, and the telepathy between the two of them was strengthened here. Nelis immediately knew what Salin was thinking.
Nelis also made a gesture, then swam in front of Salin with her spear in hand.
Tens of thousands of skeletons, each at least a hundred meters in size. Salin and Nelis's bodies looked very small swimming among them. Nelis took the lead and swam toward a two-hundred-meter-long Magical Beast skeleton. She came to the head of the skeleton and poked it with her finger.
The Magical Beast skeleton collapsed silently. Under the water pressure, it finally turned into a pile of powder. There was no trace of the magic core in the skull.
Nelis looked back, and Salin motioned for her to continue.
Nelis quickly swam to the side of a Narwhal skeleton and poked it with her finger again. The Narwhal's skeleton also silently scattered, broke into powder, and slowly sank into the sea. The only difference was that the two-meter-long horn of the Narwhal was not damaged. Nelis grabbed it and put it in her bracelet.
Salin did not care what Nelis was doing. He felt that his body was fixed on the seabed by a huge attraction. If he wanted to swim like Nelis, it would consume a lot of energy.
When the Water Pattern Shield was cast, it would be compressed on the surface of his body, unable to bring buoyancy. Unless he advanced this spell to level-nine, it would be easy to open.
But to practice here? How was it possible? How were the Winged Skeleton and the others?
Nelis did not know what Salin was thinking. She searched the skeletons one by one. Almost every hundred, she would only get a precious material. The fact that these materials could be preserved in such deep water without rotting or undergoing qualitative changes meant that they were more precious than any of the materials she had collected in the past.
Although the Narwhal's horn was not as strong as the Silver Line Tuna's, it would not be damaged even after tens of thousands of years. Even if it was metal, it would have long turned into dust in such an environment.
Salin thought about it and released the Stone Statue Army. This level-nine spell first created six six-meter-tall stone statues. If the size of the stone statues was compressed, the fighting power of the stone statues would decrease slightly.
The six stone statues were released. Salin was surprised to find that in this environment, the stone statues reached a height of nine meters. Salin let the six stone statues stack up. He climbed up the stone statues, and from a height of more than fifty meters, he looked into the abyss.
Eighty miles away, there was a scene that shocked Salin again. There was a tall city wall. Although it had collapsed, it could still be imagined how majestic it used to be.
The collapsed city wall was also a hundred meters high. Its original height was probably about five or six hundred meters. Such a city wall could defend against giants.
The city wall was broken, so naturally the tower did not exist. But in front of the city gate, Salin saw a stone statue that was a hundred meters high. This stone statue was much smaller than the one guarding the entrance to the abyss, but it had weapons in its hands. And these stone statues were not damaged at all. They were even newer than his Stone Statue Soldiers.
'That's not strange,' Salin thought. As long as there was a magic array for energy conservation, these stone statues could be constantly replenished with earth element and repair themselves. Not to mention ten thousand years, they would look brand new even after a million years.
No, these stone statues were probably the kind of Stone Statue Soldiers he had obtained before. They were elemental creatures, not battle puppets made by magic.
If they were Stone Statue Soldiers, then they were probably more than level-nine! These stone statues could be used by him to absorb the power of the earth in the abyss.
Salin counted patiently. Within his sight, there were nearly a hundred hundred-meter-tall Stone Statue Soldiers. If there were hundreds of level-ten elemental creatures, then he had no hope of entering the real graveyard.
This was only the periphery of the graveyard. To obtain the remains of ancient creatures, he had to enter the abyss city.
Nelis searched for a while and found it boring. Apart from the White Whale's horn, the magic cores of the magic beasts here were basically damaged or simply turned to ash. Occasionally, she would encounter one or two complete ones, but their quality had dropped greatly.
Nelis simply put away the White Whale's horn and returned to Salin's side. Salin made a gesture, and the two entered the Dark Purgatory.
"Master, there's nothing to search for. The materials of these things are all rotten, but …"
"Those ashes are all good undead materials. If you knew undead alchemy, you wouldn't say that. "Salin exposed Nelis's lie.
The magic beast skeletons here were indeed broken, but broken skeletons, although turned into ashes, were the best undead alchemy materials. To a necromancer, the value of these ashes was even higher than a level-nine magic core of an elemental mage.
"Nelis, I saw a city with guards. They might be level-nine or level-ten Stone Statue Soldiers."
Nelis was happy at first, but then seemed a little dejected. Stone Statue Soldiers were too difficult to deal with elemental creatures. If the leader was not killed, the other Stone Statue Soldiers would constantly revive. The environment of the abyss was terrifyingly rich with earth elements. It was impossible to rely on speed to kill all the Stone Statue Soldiers and find the leader.
Besides, she was only level-nine. How could she kill hundreds of Stone Statue Soldiers at once?
"Master, then what do you say?"
"Go and collect all the materials that can be collected. These bone powder can repair your Dark Purgatory."
"Alright, Master, but this will take a lot of time."
"I'll go around this city and see if there are any loopholes. We'll meet here later," Salin said calmly.
"Master, no!"
"Why not? Before I met you, I was only a level-one mage, but I still survived. Nelis, we'll meet here in three days! "Salin did not allow Nelis to refuse and left the Dark Purgatory.
