Chapter 334: The Unrelieved Soul, the Power of God
"How did you do it?"
Hearing this question, Shane was a little confused.
Because he just used [Big Dark Sky] in a very ordinary way, and crushed those ice crystal monsters in a very ordinary way.
Is there anything special about this?
However, Shane had seen before that the ice crystal monsters have strong regeneration ability, and ordinary physical attacks are difficult to really kill them.
But why did they die so cleanly under the effect of [Big Dark Sky]?
Although he was a little confused, Shane acted very calm in front of these strangers.
Giving people a sense of right and wrong.
Seeing this, the pirates just thought that it was Shane's secret as a secret pather, so they didn't ask more.
At the same time.
Some pirates have recognized Shane's identity and whispered.
"Shane? This name sounds familiar..."
"Wait, isn't this the captain of the [Black Swan]?"
"Hiss... Is it the [Black Swan] that killed the [Dark Red Baron]?"
Hearing this, Shane couldn't help but be a little surprised.
How long has it been since his deeds were heard by these pirates?
In fact, Shane still underestimated the influence of his previous battle.
In this era when legendary masters are extremely rare, the sixth level is already the ceiling for ordinary secret path practitioners.
In the naval battle between Shane and Richard, at least four sixth-level masters appeared, and more than ten ships participated in the battle!
Such a large-scale naval battle, at the time when the expeditionary force was going out, naturally attracted a lot of attention.
——Those captains and sailors who were teleported to the [Cold Sea] with Shane became the spreaders of rumors.
"We heard about this from the captain of a warship we met before."
Lewis took the initiative to speak after noticing Shane's sight.
"It is said that the legendary master of the blood clan was furious because of the defeat in this battle, and originally wanted to arrest the [Black Swan] and you, Captain Shane!"
This legend obviously refers to Muller of the blood clan.
However, when he heard the word "wanted", Shane's heart was not moved at all, and he even wanted to laugh.
Strictly speaking, the joint wanted notice issued by several vampire islands before is still hanging on Shane's head!
There are too many lice, so you don't feel itchy.
Anyway, even if there is no wanted notice, Shane and the vampires are already irreconcilable.
It doesn't matter whether there is a wanted notice or not.
But Shane noticed that Lewis used the word "originally". Is there any change in this?
Before he asked, Lewis explained.
"However, the Federation Navy is quite dissatisfied with the vampires' actions, and has severely ordered the vampires not to let similar things happen again."
"That's why the vampires gave up the idea of wanted you."
Hearing this, Shane suddenly realized.
It turned out to be the influence of the federal officials.
If you think about it carefully, the Federation is calling on all forces to form the "Far North Expeditionary Force" and is willing to absorb pirates on the sea at the cost of eliminating the wanted notice.
As a result, not long after the call, the people themselves started fighting among themselves.
Isn't this a slap in their face?
The federal officials certainly won't care about small-scale frictions and disputes.
But the battle between Shane and the blood clan has caused widespread discussion.
The bad influence on the expeditionary force is immeasurable.
This forced the federal officials to intervene.
Moreover, judging from the attitude of the federation, it is obviously more stringent towards the blood clan.
On the one hand, it is because the blood clan took the initiative to instigate this naval battle.
On the other hand, the federal officials actually know the nature of the blood clan. If they are not restrained, similar things may happen again.
While understanding the situation a little bit.
[Black Swan] has gradually approached Shane and others.
Seeing the shadow cast from above, the pirates couldn't help but let out a low cry.
Observing the big ship up close, they felt the majesty and extraordinaryness of the ship more clearly and intuitively.
Whether it is the size, style, or the material of the hull, the momentum of the whole ship is far beyond their own ships.
Compared with the pirates' Dragon and Black Swan, it seemed to be behind the times!
"What a great ship!"
Lewis couldn't help but exclaimed: "It is worthy of the legendary Black Swan!"
Shayne was no stranger to the pirates' eyes.
Once upon a time, he had expressed similar feelings towards the Duke and the Viper, and felt a strong envy in his heart.
But now, with the passage of time, the small and broken Black Swan has grown into the current behemoth.
It was Shane's turn to be envied by other captains.
Soon, An and Xiange flew down from the deck and came to Shane.
At this time, Xiange maintained the state of mimicry, wearing a thick cold-proof cotton coat, wrapped tightly, like a large caterpillar.
Even so, the moment she appeared, the pirates of the Dragon Pirates couldn't help but set their eyes on her.
From her, they felt a powerful, ancient and familiar blood power.
The reason why [Dragon Pirates] is called this name is certainly not without purpose.
In fact, most members of this pirate group have dragon blood to a greater or lesser extent.
Of course, the dragon here does not necessarily refer to the ancient dragon.
Some are mostly degenerated sub-dragons, while others are the bloodline left over from the cross between ancient dragons and other creatures.
During the heyday of the [Dragon Pirate Group], they even directly raised a sub-dragon!
It’s just that it’s not convenient to bring them with me on this trip to [the Far North].
From this we can also see the close connection between the [Dragon Pirate Group] and dragons.
Because of this, the pirates couldn't understand why they felt an unusually strong pressure from this girl.
Even... I have the urge to worship her!
If she also has dragon blood in her body, how high will the blood level be?
Even Lewis trembled in his heart and looked at Xian Ge in surprise.
"Captain Shane, who is she?"
Feeling everyone's gaze, Xian Ge didn't show any stage fright, puffed up her chest and said.
"I am the great Qing...ahem!"
After Xia En glanced at her, Xian Ge coughed twice, but at least his true identity was not revealed.
Nana looked at Xian Ge with a surprised look on her face: "It smells good, what a powerful aura, just like Captain Xia En!"
"Are you Captain Shane's daughter?"
"If I mate with him, can I give birth to a child as strong as you?"
Hearing this, Lewis had black lines on his head and quickly apologized to Xia En.
"Captain Shane, please don't be offended if my sister is ignorant and talks nonsense."
Xia En's mouth twitched, not knowing how to answer.
Unexpectedly, Nana was unhappy when she heard this and said, "I'm not talking nonsense!"
"I'm serious, bro, don't you keep urging me to find a man?"
"I think Captain Shane is very suitable!"
"……you?"
At this time, Xian Ge looked Nana up and down: "As for you, at best you can be Mr. Captain's seventh wife!"
Xia En's eyelids jumped: "Where can I get seven wives?"
Xian Ge was greatly surprised: "Eh? No, let me count them carefully..." ˆ ˆ ˆ "Sister Joey, little sister Sha Jingjing..."
"Stop, stop, stop."
Seeing that the topic was getting more and more crooked, Xia En quickly interrupted Xian Ge and turned to look at Lewis.
"Captain Lewis, how did you encounter that weird ice crystal monster before?"
Lewis smiled bitterly: "Actually, it was just an accident..."
Soon, Lewis roughly recounted his experience of accidentally crashing into the ruins of the Great Yan Kingdom and being besieged by monsters.
After listening, Xia En couldn't help but glance at him with sympathy.
I don't know if I am lucky or unlucky to be able to hit the ruins in the ice so accurately.
But...relics?
Xia En turned to look at the ancient ruins whose style was completely different from modern buildings, and he felt a little curious.
[Great Yan Kingdom] has too many secrets, buried in the dust of history.
Why was [Great Yan Kingdom] destroyed?
Why did King Xin freeze the town?
Why do those ice crystal monsters carry the power of [Husi Ming]?
These doubts have been lingering in Xia En's mind for a long time, and even a knowledgeable scholar like Jane can only pry out some clues.
Perhaps, in this ruins, Shane can find the answer he wants?
Thinking of this, Xia En's eyes flashed and he walked towards the strange tower-shaped building.
"Captain Shane, what do you think?"
Lewis looked at Shane's movements and immediately understood his intention.
However, Lewis did not try to persuade him, because he knew that he could not change Xia En's decision, so he only gave a kind reminder.
"Captain Shane, please be careful."
"There should be many ice crystal monsters from before in that ruins."
Shane nodded and said, "I will."
Since he wanted to explore the ruins, Xia En would not break in alone. Instead, he waited until Joey and Jane were in place before slowly approaching the ruins.
After getting closer, Xia En discovered that the material of this building looked very smooth and hard, with a gray-black appearance.
The overall style is actually somewhat similar to the [Federal Grand Library].
Simple and direct, no unnecessary patterns.
Pay more attention to practicality than beauty.
In fact, more than half of the entire ruins is located in the ice, and only a small part of it is exposed above the ice sheet.
At this time, a hole opened in the corner of the building, like a big mouth, quietly waiting for people to fall into the trap.
The previous ice crystal monster emerged from here.
Shane looked back behind him.
In addition to his own crew, Daisy and Nana also volunteered to join this "exploration operation."
It just so happens that it will take some time for the [Black Swan] to break through the ice, so you can use this time to explore the ruins.
Not long after.
Xia En walked into the cave cautiously, and a cold air hit his face.
The temperature inside this ruins is actually colder than outside.
This is actually quite unusual.
Click... click!
Before Xia En could think deeply about this point, he suddenly heard a subtle movement in his ears.
He didn't hesitate and took half a step back.
With a "bang", a humanoid monster made of ice crystals jumped into the air and hit the spot where Xia En was standing.
The force of the impact was not small at all, leaving a shallow crater on the ground.
A small part of the ice crystal monster's head was also smashed.
But in the blink of an eye, its broken head stuck together and gathered together in a strange posture, and finally turned back to its complete form.
During this process, Shane noticed that there was no structure inside the head of the ice crystal monster that a living creature should have.
It was as if... it was just an empty shell made by simulation!
But for some reason, from those broken ice crystals, Shane felt a kind of activity that could not be described in words.
It seemed that in each broken ice crystal, there was a soul wailing in pain and misery.
"This is..."
Shane frowned slightly.
He did not observe carefully when he swept the monsters with [Great Dark Sky] before.
Now, Shane suddenly realized that these ice crystal monsters themselves seemed to be a kind of blasphemous product that should not exist in the world.
"Are ordinary physical attacks really ineffective?"
"Then try magic?"
Soon, Joey released a small fireball spell and hit the ice crystal monster.
The ice crystal melted in an instant.
However, after the fireball dissipated, ice crystals condensed on the ground again after a while.
Four or five minutes later, an identical ice crystal monster was generated again.
Seeing this scene, not only Shane, but also Joey and Jane frowned.
"Captain."
Joey hesitated and said, "It gives me a very uncomfortable feeling."
"I feel filth and pain from it, as if...something is trapped in its body."
"Your feeling is right."
At this time, Jane took over Joey's words and said, "If I am not mistaken, there is a human soul imprisoned in the body of this monster."
"Human soul?"
Hearing this, Xia En was shocked: "You mean..."
Jane nodded and said, "Yes, they were probably the people of [Da Yan Kingdom]."
"Their bodies have long died, but their souls are imprisoned in this special creation, suffering despair and torment day after day, and cannot be freed."
"Even if they are cut into the smallest particles, they will still regenerate in this form."
After learning this information, everyone present felt a creepy feeling.
It has been thousands of years since the destruction of [Da Yan Kingdom].
Thousands of years, endless torment.
This kind of pain, just imagining it, makes people's scalp numb.
Daisy asked in confusion: "Who on earth could have done such a thing?"
"Not a human, but a god."
An answer popped up in Shane's mind.
The filthy secret power on the ice crystal monster was enough to explain the initiator of this incident.
Shae quickly thought of another question: "But, since ordinary spells can't destroy this kind of monster, why can [Big Dark Sky] kill them completely?"
Jane thought about it and looked at Shane meaningfully.
"Only the power of the gods can fight against the gods..."
