Chapter 96

"Just say what you need to say, and I'll decide what to do."

Rosen's thoughts were transmitted to the gray rat's spirit through the nightmare chains.

The gray mouse hesitated for a moment before revealing its discovery.

Rosen became more and more interested as he listened; the knowledge of Gray Rat, the former demigod, was indeed far superior to his own.

Before the rise of humanity, the Naga were one of the dominant species in the sea.

At that time, mermaids were subordinate to the Naga, and fishmen were not even qualified to become servants of the Naga.

Only Murloc priests of a special Murloc sequence are qualified to barely become servants of the Naga.

This murloc tribe may be large, but why are there a hundred frost nagas sleeping there?

Moreover, it was a Sequence 8 Frost Naga. It should be noted that Frost Nagas normally grow to Sequence 6 when they reach adulthood. A Sequence 8 Frost Naga is either not yet an adult or has suffered severe injuries due to its extraordinary source quality and fallen back to Sequence 8.

Even if their extraordinary sequence level drops, these Frost Nagas should not be under the command of the Murloc Priest.

How could it be awakened by a merman priest through blood sacrifice, and then fight against humans in a fearless and extraordinary battle?

Rosen had actually considered the problem, but he assumed that the awakened Frost Naga already had a grudge against humans.

However, the gray rat discovered divine power in the sea, which meant that the hundred Frost Naga might be slumbering inside some kind of demigod artifact before they were awakened. This might be what the Blue Whale Kingdom truly wanted.

Rosen possesses a demigod-level extraordinary artifact, but it is Gray Rat's most treasured possession.

Moreover, as far as he knew, the demigod artifacts of the gray rats were not suitable for him to use.

At this moment, an unclaimed demigod artifact is in the sea. Who wouldn't be tempted?

According to Gray Rat, finding that demigod artifact is not difficult; the difficulty lies in how to contain it.

If it were easy to contain, the Blue Whale Kingdom would have gotten its hands on it long ago.

However, containment is not difficult for Rosen, because he has the divine territory, the divine scavenging space, and his nightmare slime has a powerful gluttonous ability. With these combined and the cooperation of the gray rat, there is a chance to successfully contain it.

However, this kind of thing can't be done openly, otherwise the Blue Whale Kingdom will definitely try to seize it.

Although in principle, after purchasing a ticket to the Spirit Realm, all gains depend on one's own abilities.

However, in reality, the benefits of demigods and extraordinary artifacts are enough to make those who set the rules disregard and break them.

Therefore, if Rosen wants to contain and seal that demigod-level extraordinary artifact, he must find a way to seize the treasure himself.

Throughout the entire process, the abnormality could not be detected by other extraordinary sequences.

A few years ago, Rosen wouldn't have dared to snatch food from a tiger's mouth.

But now, he is absolutely certain.

Rosen's eyes instantly turned pitch black and lifeless, as if he had turned from a living person into a dead one.

However, the next moment, his eyes regained their sparkle.

In that instant, Rosen's true form had already used Shadow Cloak to hide in his own shadow.

As for the one who remained in the original location, he has been replaced with a self-portrait in the Void Gallery.

His self-portraits are top-of-the-line; he bleeds when injured, his heart beats, and he can breathe and eat.

Aside from being unable to inherit the power of the Hunter sequence, and only being able to inherit the power of the Noble and Painter sequences, his self-portrait is indistinguishable from the real person.

Rosen's public identity is that of a pet hunter, but he is actually responsible for fighting with slimes that have transformed into frost nagas.

All he needs to do is pull the trigger of the God-Slaying Crossbow and continuously fire bolts to provide ranged support for the attack.

Even though the self-portrait cannot master the Hunter Sequence ability, it can still disguise itself so perfectly that no one can see anything amiss.

As for Rosen himself, he has already disappeared into the shadows and quietly left the mountain of corpses.

After Rosen entered the cold, foul-smelling seawater, the spiritual energy surrounding him protected him from environmental harm. He released a razor-sharp rat shark and crawled into the control chamber inside its belly.

Rosen closed his eyes and sensed the dreamscape of the nearby sea.

The Frost Naga is still asleep and has not fully awakened. At this time, it is not difficult to perceive the Frost Naga's dream.

This would be enough for him to pinpoint the exact location, and perhaps he could even learn about the origins of these Frost Naga through his dreams.

Thousands of meters away, a vertical underwater cave, hidden within a coral reef, continuously releases chilling air.

At this moment, at the bottom of the cave, in an ice crystal palace, cracks began to appear on the hundred ice coffins placed inside.

Finally, with a series of cracking sounds, all the ice coffins shattered.

The Frost Naga inside the ninety-nine ice coffins opened their eyes, devoid of any emotion, as if they were puppets.

These Frost Naga left the palace and swam out of the underwater cave, fearlessly attacking the surface of the sea.

Several aged, emaciated murloc priests emerged from the back hall of the Ice Crystal Palace, looking at the last Frost Naga with puzzled expressions.

Is it possible that too many merman priests died and there weren't enough offerings? Only this one failed to be awakened.

Another murloc priest emerged from the back hall; this one looked very strong.

Without saying a word, he swung his steel fork and pierced the hearts of several murloc priests.

The scalding blood spilled onto the ground, and the last Frost Naga's eyelids twitched incessantly, but she couldn't open them no matter what she did.

The only surviving merman priest in the ice crystal palace immediately realized that this was the work of humans.

However, as far as he knew, humanity already knew everything about this spiritual realm.

There is absolutely no need to launch a dream invasion against a Frost Naga.

Unless this time it's not about gathering intelligence, but about pinpointing his exact location and finding him.

The merman priest left the ice crystal palace without hesitation. As long as he was alive, there was hope. As for the rest, everything would start anew after tomorrow. One day, the merman would defeat the humans and finally leave this spiritual realm to be reborn.

A few minutes later, the Blade Rat Shark swam into the Ice Crystal Palace and spat out Rosen.

He encountered no danger, which was exactly what he expected.

About ten minutes earlier, he had already successfully entered the dream world of the Frost Naga in front of him.

He knew everything he needed to know, and he forcibly prevented the Frost Naga from awakening in order to scare away the Murloc Priest.

Although fishmen are weak among intelligent races, they can still reproduce in large numbers.

Quantity breeds miracles; this merman tribe once produced a merman genius with exceptional talent.

Ultimately, this merman genius actually grew to Sequence 3 by completing his own extraordinary sequence.

Regardless of the intelligent race, a Sequence 3 demigod is already among the strongest.

Because murlocs are servants of the Naga, the Naga often conscript murlocs as cannon fodder during their wars.

The demigod merfolk's family members were once killed in the Naga's conscription.

The hatred has taken deep root and continues to grow stronger over time.

The demigod merfolk finally got their chance: the war between the Naga and humans.

He secretly captured some Naga. Simply killing the Naga was not enough to satisfy his hatred, so he chose to enslave them. Since the Naga could enslave the Murlocs, it was only natural for the Murlocs to enslave the Naga in return.

The demigod merman succeeded quickly, but he underestimated the Naga.

Although both are demigods, the Naga demigods are far more powerful than him, and their abilities are far beyond his reach. This is because demigod fishmen lack the accumulation of their race, and becoming a demigod is half talent and half chance.

In the end, the demigod merman escaped, leaving behind only this ice crystal palace and a hundred Frost Naga experimental subjects.
