The Deep One was almost three meters tall, half a body taller than Li Yetong. It held a bronze trident in its hand. At the bottom of the trident was a single scarlet eye. The eye rotated up and down as the trident moved.
Li Yetong screamed. Her calm demeanor disappeared in an instant. Facing such a monster, she could not control her emotions. It was as if all the negative emotions in her heart had exploded.
Peak Critical Mutant!
The Deep Ones were a super mutant that had existed since the Blue Planet's era. It was said that they were the spawn of some King Class Disasters and had always existed as servants. Once they appeared, it meant that the King Class Disaster they served had awakened.
This was a sign of chaos!
The Shield King saw the Deep One through the screen and immediately cut off the communication. The appearance of the Deep One was significant, but it was inconvenient to expose it to the public to avoid unnecessary panic.
He quickly ordered the nearby Player Search Team to provide support. At the same time, he was considering whether to stop this ultimate trial.
Two watchers died in the lake. The Shield King's deep eyes looked through the screen as if he wanted to see through the seemingly ordinary lake. He sat on the dark blue throne and gently raised his right hand.
A fully armed warrior from the Ox Family stepped out from behind with a giant shield in his hand. He bowed respectfully and asked, "My King, what are your orders?"
"Who is the leader of the recent Player Search Team?" The Shield King's voice was rough and calm. He looked at the Deep One approaching Li Yetong. "Is there any information from the Great Wall of Disaster?"
The border and the Great Wall of Disaster were the territories of the Polar Night Magician and the Night King. These two people's strength was only second to the Five Kings. They gave up on joining the Katashafi Committee and threw themselves to the frontlines. This made the Shield King admire them.
All related information, including the Five Kings and the three major forces (Wessex, Chronometer, and Katashafi Committee) could only be obtained through them. They could not search for it themselves.
"The recent Player Search Team was led by the Level 2 Player Osna. She happened to be in the nearby hunting zone. As for the information … there is no news yet." The man bowed and replied.
"Slow, too slow!" The Shield King's heavy voice resounded in the spacious hall, causing the hearts of the warriors hidden in the shadows to beat rapidly. They were almost unable to withstand the pressure and were forced to reveal themselves.
"Is it because you haven't fought the Calamities for a long time that your movements have become so sluggish?!" No one dared to answer the Shield King's cold question.
This was the tradition of the Oakes family.
The Shield King's duty was to protect humanity and fight against the calamity. Every descendant of the Oakes family would head to the border or the Great Wall of Calamity at the age of eighteen before entering university, at the age of twenty-two after graduating from university, and in the first year after becoming a player. They would throw away their status and become a part of the fight against the calamity for a month.
In recent years, the relatively peaceful situation had made the lives of the Mesozoic and Cenozoic generations much easier. Very few people had died in this kind of coming of age ceremony.
Moreover, since the Shield King rarely showed himself to deal with family matters, many branch family heads suggested reducing the difficulty of this tradition.
The Shield King's roars did not subside for a long time.
In the past, there were so many descendants who went to the Great Wall of Disaster that they could obtain first-hand information. They didn't need to rely too much on the Night Watchers.
But now, it had been a few hours since the incident, and there was still no reply!
"After the School Championship, I will transfer some of the younger descendants to the Great Wall of Calamity for special training," the Shield King's voice rang out again.
Everyone was shocked, but no one dared to object.
Transferring descendants for special training meant that it wasn't a simple coming of age ceremony. Moreover, from the Shield King's words, it seemed to be targeted at the elite descendants who could participate in the School Championship!
Those were the flesh and blood of the branch family heads.
Trial Point.
Li Yetong immediately jumped into the forest. The lake beside him was full of Water Ghosts. Going there was a dead end.
The bouncing Deep One seemed to be lacking in intelligence and was slow, but the moment Yetong left its line of sight, it quickly chased after him. Everything it passed through rotted into a puddle of stinky water.
Osna, who was wearing a gray cloak, and her four team members were also moving through the hunting area at high speed. Wherever the five players passed, the mutants that poked their heads out to look around were bombarded to pieces by several spells before they could even attack.
Player support teams generally consisted of no more than ten people. They were the basic combat unit of the Great Wall of Disaster. They cooperated with the Night Watchers, and their main task was to clean up the hunting areas within the Great Wall of Disaster as well as the occasional missed disaster. Sometimes, they would also go outside the Great Wall of Disaster to support the Night Watchers.
Whether they were willing or not, every player would be forcibly assigned to a certain player support team by the Goddess of Calamity after they reached the Sequence. However, their movements were not restricted, so it was common to see player support teams with only three or four people.
Some of the special members, such as Bai Dongxue, rarely worked together with the other members of the team.
"Is it that lake?" A male player held a large shield and looked at the quiet lake in front of him. There was a very strong presence of disaster there. He was also a member of the Oakes Family, and he had just been promoted to a Level 1 Player Guardian.
"Yes, you take some people to the bottom of the lake to save them. I'll go after the other one." After Osna reached Level 2, she activated the Source of Faith [Exorcist]'s sub-creed [Seal].
At this moment, above her vast Source of Faith, there was a dark red talisman floating alone.
[Exorcist] was a very rare Source of Faith, and it was a good medium for players. The sub-creed [Seal] was a very terrifying sub-creed. Coupled with her special constitution, it could be said that she had an extremely high immunity and perception against most creatures in the Disaster Faction.
When she came near the lake, she sensed the presence of the Deep One that had just left.
The four people behind her leaped into the lake, and she ran towards the forest without stopping.
The four players entered the lake, and the water ghosts tore at them in a frenzy. Before they could get close, the Oakes Family Guardian opened up his large shield and created a barrier that covered the entire lake, protecting everyone inside.
The claws of the water ghosts turned into dust as soon as they touched the barrier. They screamed and ran away.
"There is a very strong sealing force in the water. Be careful." He whispered and used all his strength to maintain the stability of the barrier.
A female player slid into the lake like an agile fish. She held a dagger in her mouth and chopped off all her hair. Her body turned into a few blurry shadows in an instant, and she appeared behind a few crazed water ghosts and killed them with a backstab!
The Hitman was the most terrifying player class in terms of attack power. It was even more powerful than a Mage, and there was nothing it could not destroy.
She quickly came to Yu Zhitong's side and used her dagger to cut the chains around her body. This girl had been trapped at the bottom of the lake for so long, but she could still breathe freely.
The female Hitman reached out and hugged Yu Zhitong. She was shocked to find that Yu Zhitong was placed in a transparent bubble. No wonder she could breathe underwater.
She looked around and found that the bubble connected to Yu Zhitong was the Bronze Gate of the Abyss.
"The Gate of the Abyss! It's the Gate of the Abyss! "She exclaimed and reminded the three team members above.
The Oakes Family's Guardian was shocked. He immediately used his communication device to send the message to Captain Osna.
The Gate of the Abyss meant that there was a King Level Disaster hidden inside. Countless spawns and mutants would surge out from it. It was an extremely troublesome disaster item.
"Hmm? There's … someone inside the Gate of the Abyss! " The female Hitman endured her discomfort and continued to observe the Gate of the Abyss. First-hand information was very important. It could earn a lot of Contribution Points from the human camp.
With the Gate of the Abyss, Level 1 players like them would not be able to interfere in future investigations.
A corner of the Bronze Gate opened, and they could see the scene inside from the outside.
Countless bronze chains bound a black figure. Upon closer inspection, it was the Origin Form Projection of the unconscious Li Xiang.
"What? How can there be someone inside? " The male Guardian wanted to dive in and investigate. That was a genuine Gate of the Abyss. Shouldn't there be a King Level Disaster hidden inside?
Moreover, even if it was opened, with their cultivation level, they would be instantly devoured by negative emotions if they rashly tried to peek inside.
"It's a person. I'll take a picture for you." The female Hitman nodded excitedly. She took a picture with the Bronze Gate of the Abyss and sent it to the group chat.
Rescue, come back. — — Osna.
Osna also saw the picture immediately. She suppressed the urge in her heart and ordered her team members to retreat immediately.
She thought for a moment and decided to seal this matter forever.
She could not let others know that Li Xiang's Origin Form Projection was locked inside the Gate of the Abyss.
He should still be in the second round of the School Championship Tournament. Why would he appear inside the Gate of the Abyss?
No matter what, as a member of the Rose Maids, she had to help the Young Master seal this information.
She had a bad feeling about this.
The Deep One chased after Li Yetong. Just as it raised its trident, Osna's figure suddenly appeared between the two of them.
Bang!
The trident hit a transparent shield. The shield shook and turned into starlight. It fell on Li Yetong's body and helped her tired body recover some strength.
"Are you okay, Ye Tong?" Osna asked gently with her back facing her. "I'm Osna, a level 2 Guardian. I'm here to help."
"I'm, I'm fine …" Li Yetong's dazed eyes finally regained their focus. Facing off against the Deep One for a long time exhausted her greatly. But for some reason, as long as she stood behind Osna, there would be a gentle light shining on her, making her feel very comfortable.
The three-meter tall Deep One panted heavily. It looked at Osna with fear.
The type of person that was overflowing with holy light was the type that it hated the most.
"We Guardians rely on the source of faith that we received when we became players. As long as we accept this source of faith wholeheartedly, and recognize this faith as something more important than our lives, we can explode with endless power." Osna said calmly.
She was teaching Ye Tong the knowledge of the players.
Whoosh!
The Deep One turned around and ran. But before it could take a few steps, Osna caught up to it.
Even a peak level Mutant would not be a match for a player.
Dale could easily take care of Gui Wuqi, and as a level 2 player, Osna could do it even more easily.
But she was not worried about the Deep One. She was more worried about the large group behind it.
This type of Mutant would not appear alone. The fact that they could come here without a sound meant that they had already built a nest nearby. The Abyss Gate could open at any time!
.....
Li Xiang finally woke up from the chaos. He had somehow fallen into the deep sea with Lou Lan. His consciousness was blurred due to the destruction of the last projection. In his daze, he seemed to see Yu Zhitong and instinctively saved her.
His body was heavy. He did not know what was binding him.
Countless voices echoed in his ears. It also sounded like someone was whispering beside him.
He forced himself to open his eyes, and what he saw was a thick gray fog.
Where is this?
He struggled to get up, but found that his body was bound by chains. He could not move.
In the thick fog, pairs of ghostly green eyes slowly opened. An ancient chant sounded around him.
The fog was in the water. His body seemed to be soaked in some kind of liquid. It was sticky and thick.
Li Xiang felt that the pale golden aura in his body was constantly absorbing the disaster aura around him. The dark red scale bar that had been stagnant for a long time was rising rapidly. It seemed like it would soon reach its limit. At that moment, the mechanical wheel would also transform into a mechanical heart!
How could this be?
Only the purest disaster aura could make the pale golden aura absorb it so crazily.
"This is our group. You gave me a new life. I will give you the identity of a king." The voice in his ears was soft and faint, but it was very familiar.
Li Xiang thought for a moment and immediately remembered that this was the disaster girl that came out of King Loulan's stomach in Loulan's palace. She was the owner of the disaster heart, the original body of the octopus monster!
He was confused. When he looked around, he realized that he was surrounded by a horde of Deep Ones!
They knelt and kowtowed to him as if they were on a pilgrimage. They were chanting something that sounded like "Father God and Mother God".
"The deep sea is our kingdom. This is our home." The voice was still lingering in his ears. At the same time, Li Xiang, who had obtained the power of faith from countless Deep Ones, finally evolved into a mechanical heart.
His eyes glowed with a golden light. His body trembled. The chains that locked him down broke one by one. A large number of Deep Ones cheered as if they were welcoming the arrival of a king.
As a result, the Abyssal Gate slowly opened.
His consciousness fell into nothingness again.
When Li Xiang woke up again, he was already in the Source Substance Clone Converter. He touched his chest. The newly evolved mechanical heart was still beating. It was like a second heart, providing him with an endless supply of energy.
The mechanical heart was Lancelot's life achievement. It could obtain an endless supply of Source Substance by decomposing machinery and replenishing his body. This was his other heart, the core of a mechanical creature!
