Chapter 979: Chapter 0976: rmaid Statue Chapter 979: Chapter 0976: rmaid Statue They found a total of thirty-two shed scales.
The color of the scales shifted from gray-black, and by the ti they picked up the thirty-second scale, its color had beco light blue. The location where the scales had fallen extended to a sea trench, whose edge was at least five thousand ters deep, with imnse pressure.
Luckily, Ach’s control over water, enhanced by the Unicorn, was near perfect, and he hardly felt the deep sea’s crushing pressure.
However, Li Si Te was a bit scared. The ocean here was devoid of any sunlight, forcing them to rely on the light from the Hand Magic Tube to explore the seabed. In the pitch-black depths, strange Sea Monsters would occasionally flash by and launch stealth attacks. Although their offensive power was negligible in front of Ach, they were still frightening.
“Mutated rmaids must have crawled up from this trench, clearly corrupted by so evil force that transford them into what they are now. Yu Chou should live in shallower waters; it’s controlled by the Mutated rmaid to invade the land, indicating that the Mutated rmaids haven’t been around for that long.”
He said.
Ach nodded, “Then, brother, let’s dive into the trench to search.”
“Be careful.”
“Mm-hm.”
The trench was shallower than they had imagined. About a kiloter down into the trench—around six thousand ters from the surface—they already reached the bottom. The light from the Hand Magic Tube illuminated the seabed, revealing towering cliffs and crevasses, with bizarre little creatures swimming around.
The atmosphere was eerie, with unsettling sounds coming from the distance.
“Huff!”
Unicorn Charlie didn’t like this place, and snorted impatiently.
Li Si Te held a bunch of Hand Magic Tubes to cast light further and get a clear view of the trench’s bottom. Ach, holding a rmaid scale, released magic to search for the direction of the magic on the scale. Soon, the light from the scale indicated a direction, leading to a fissure on a cliffside.
“Brother, this way.”
“Let’s go.”
Entering the crevice in the cliff and swimming a short distance, Li Si Te was astounded by the sight before him. At the end of the fissure was an underwater cavern filled with statues—Yu Chou statues five to six ters tall and Naga statues ten ters tall.
Two-ard Naga, four-ard Naga, fierce-looking Naga, humanoid Naga.
So of these statues were half-buried in the seabed’s silt, others had already shattered and broken, and yet others were almost ground into powder. However, Li Si Te quickly looked beyond these statues, his gaze settling on the center of the cave where sothing like an altar stood, topped with six statues.
All of them were rmaid statues, each nearly ten to twenty ters tall—roughly the sa size as the rmaid statues in the Fish Ugly Temple.
“Brother, do you notice that there aren’t six statues, but there should be seven!” Ach scanned the scene and imdiately noticed sothing was amiss.
The altar was designed to accommodate seven rmaid statues, yet there were only six here.
As the two approached, they saw the spot ant for the seventh statue. Although the statue was absent, many palm-sized deep blue scales had fallen there.
“These are rmaid scales, the color is deep, the magic is abundant, and it’s Superior Magic level magic power… Ach, do you think the Mutated rmaid could have escaped from here?”
“Very likely.”
Activating the Eye of Magic Power, Ach continuously scanned the surroundings, suddenly discovering at the center of the altar surrounded by statues, a spring with slowly flowing water, and this water was emitting a faint Dark Attribute Magic Power.
After Li Si Te used the Eye of Magic, he also noticed the spring water.
Seeing the dark attribute magic power, he had an epiphany and understood what the Smoke Mission was seeking to investigate as the evil source, “The power polluting the mutated rmaids must originate from this spring. Moreover, Ach, I have a bold idea.”
“What kind of bold idea?” Ach inquired.
“The seven rmaid statues, missing one must be caused by the malicious force emanating from this spring. And the original mutated rmaid probably also represented a statue… Even these remaining six statues could very well be real rmaids sealed into form!”
“Real rmaids sealed into form?” Ach was surprised, then had a realization, “That’s indeed possible. The legendary dusa, with her serpent hair, possessed the magic to turn people into stone. Maybe these rmaid statues really are rmaids that have been sealed.”
Suddenly, the rmaid statues, originally thought to be quite ordinary, beca treasures in their eyes.
In legend, rmaids are far more magical than any sea serpent or nixie, which are rely sailor’s tales with little circulation on land. But rmaids have been a great species renowned since the era of the Moon Empire, sovereigns of the ocean.
“Let’s not worry about the rmaid statues for now. Ach, can you determine the source of the spring’s power?” Li Si Te suppressed his excitent for the rmaids and focused his attention on the spring.
Before his eyes, smoke began to appear.
“Complete the mission, reward: Devil’s Traces.”
While Ach was pondering.
The smoke twisted and transford, forming new Serpent Script, “Mission: Now that you have discovered the mystery of the rmaid statues, why not reverse the stone seal magic and restore the rmaids from their statues back to their true forms? Maybe they hold the secrets to lost history. Reward: Heart of the rmaid.”
“Huh!”
Seeing this new mission, Li Si Te could not remain calm.
Even the Smoke Mission confird that these rmaid statues definitely were real rmaids sealed in stone, once the seal is broken, there would be six magical rmaids!
No, seven, there was also one polluted, mutated rmaid.
As he shifted his attention back to the rmaid statues, imagining himself with seven rmaid followers, conquering the vast oceans.
Ach suddenly raised her hand, cast a spell, and turned the water in the spring into ice.
The ice still had streaks of gray mist flowing through it.
She did not stop there; one arm shifted into an Earth Elental Incarnation and promptly unleashed Earth System Magic to split the altar into four pieces, slowly moving them outward. After moving, the altar slowly revealed the dark abyss connected to the spring below. It seed that the altar was originally built to suppress this black abyss and seal the seven rmaids.
“Be careful, touching sothing evil wouldn’t be good.”
“Brother, don’t worry, Charlie can sense the power inside this abyss. It’s just a pure special force, with no evil creatures present.”
“Charlie has that ability?” Li Si Te turned to look at the Unicorn Charlie, whose horn was gleaming.
“Of course! Charlie is amazingly powerful,” Ach said proudly. Unicorn Charlie truly was a magical creature that could make others envious.
She smiled.
Li Si Te didn’t respond. He was still dissatisfied with Charlie, who forbade him to ride, so he simply picked up the Magic Tube and shone it into the pitch-black abyss.
