The storm in Lancaster didn't affect the Grey Fjord, which was a hundred miles away.
After learning that the Warty Tidal Flats meant a lot to the frogmen, Princess Leah gave up on using the village as an ambush location. After discussing with the other party leaders, they decided to change the ambush location to a forest about two kilometers away from the cliff — according to Edward, who had infiltrated the Society of the Secret Eye, the forest was a path they had to pass unless they deliberately walked fifteen to sixteen kilometers around the forest.
When the Players who were scouting around the Society of the Secret Eye's base were discovered and killed before they could escape, the expedition finally reached its climax.
Although the Players didn't have instant messaging or any other means of communication, the party leaders could use the party page to observe the current situation of their party members. When the Players discovered that the enemy had left, they immediately applied a set of buffs on themselves in a specific order. It was basically the simplest form of telegram, accurately transmitting information from a dozen kilometers away to the party leader, informing him that the enemy had left.
After receiving the information, the Players immediately got to work.
Transportation in this era was quite polarized. Normal people could move as slow as a tortoise in this weather, and even if they had snow tools like sleds, their maximum speed would be no different from a husky running in the snow. On the other hand, the powerful ones might not be able to perform such frightening feats like magic, combat aura, or horse riding, but they could compete with high-speed rail with their own abilities. They could even break the sound barrier with ease, and the inclement weather wouldn't affect them at all …
The members of a branch of the Society of the Secret Eye were clearly far from the level of the land gods. Even the strongest of them, Black Whip, was only around Level 40 according to the Players, and without the blessing of a bishop, he might not even be able to take on the Rotten Bones Archbishop head-on. That was why his movement speed was only at the level of a horse carriage.
The Players who moved immediately after receiving the news could easily find a place to set up an ambush and wait for the Society of the Secret Eye to catch them off guard.
Moreover, Xi Wei had also given each Player a limited-time item called 'hot drink'. Even if they had to lie down in the cold snow for half a day, one hot drink would instantly restore their mobility. There was no such thing as freezing and being unable to move!
Apart from that, the frogmen who had been lazy before seemed to have been infected by the Players' extraordinary mobility were also very active this time, almost turning out in full force to aid the Players in ambushing the Society of the Secret Eye.
Even the Frogman Elder dug out a crooked crutch from the corner of the conch room and followed them out with Croakatoa. According to the Frogman Elder, although it wouldn't be of much help in the battle, it could still buff the other frogmen and increase their combat ability.
As a result, the entire Frogmen Village was now empty.
After all, to the frogmen, this was already their last stand. As long as they didn't fight in the village, they had nothing to worry about. As for what would happen in an empty village, it wasn't within their scope of consideration. After all, the only thing of value in the village was the dried salted fish …
The Society of the Secret Eye had their eyes on the Frogmen Village not because the frogmen had anything good, but purely because of the geography. Even if they took a detour and occupied the Frogmen Village, it wouldn't be of much use. They probably wouldn't do something so wasteful.
But that gave Xi Wei an opportunity to take advantage of.
He directly transmigrated to the mortal realm and strolled around the Frogmen Village.
To be honest, even the soil in the Frogmen Village had been dug three feet deep by the Players. Other than the salted fish, even Zhou Bopi probably wouldn't be able to find anything valuable.
But to Xi Wei, all of this was only on the surface.
"As I thought, this village isn't just any ordinary village."
Actually, Xi Wei had his suspicions. With the frogmen's strength, it was impossible for them to hunt shell-type monsters that were more than ten meters long, and even use their shells as their homes. If that was the case, then the origin of the conch houses was very suspicious.
Combined with what the Frogmen Grand Elder had said, it was the Ocean God who allowed their ancestors to settle here.
So what was the simplest way to allow a group of frogmen who were only slightly stronger than primitive people to settle down precisely in a certain place?
Give them a landmark that they could see at a glance.
So what kind of landmark could make the frogmen willingly stay on this mudflat?
The answer was obvious: they had prepared several homes that would not be damaged for nearly a thousand years.
"These conch houses aren't just landmarks." Xi Wei knocked on the walls of the houses and found that there was a faint flow of magic in the conch shells. Understanding dawned on his face. "They are also the elements of a magic circle. Hmm, the patterns on them are actually runes … Interesting, these shells contain magic, so they should have a certain degree of self-repairing ability. The magic circle can guide the power of faith, and the shallow waters next to the mudflat are rich in fish but rare in sea monsters. Is this also the reason why? "
No matter what, these conch houses were not only for the frogmen's ancestors, but also for the current Xi Wei, they were the best landmarks.
He quickly sorted out the structure of the magic circle, and according to the arrangement of the conch houses, he found the center of the magic circle. Then, he stood on top of the center and spread out his spirit.
In just a few moments, his spirit had already penetrated the surface and reached deeper into the mudflat.
About fifteen hundred meters from the surface, there was an altar. This wasn't something that could be created by humans, but something that was similar to the materialization of some kind of ritual. There was even a faint trace of divinity lingering on it.
And at the center of the altar was Xi Wei's target — a divinity infused with the divine power of the Ocean!
That's right, it wasn't a fragment like Xi Wei had thought, but a complete divinity!
No, it wasn't complete. After touching the divinity with his spirit, Xi Wei found that there were still many flaws on it.
If a divinity could be compared to a crystal ball, then the divinity of the Aquatic Lord that was underground right now was full of cracks. It was as if the crystal ball had been broken and then glued back together.
