From the Abyss Invasion to the Blasting Star.

Chapter 352 Seal and Poseidon's Scepter

Deep frozen trench.

This is the deepest part of the Tidal Sea.

Ten years ago, strange glaciers formed in the trench. It was extremely cold and there were very few living creatures nearby.

Since ten years ago, the environment of the deep frozen trench has continued to change, and the temperature of the sea water in the trench has now risen by more than ten degrees.

Undersea glaciers have melted and cracks in the trenches have filled with volcanic ash.

A seal was also placed on it to suppress the embers of Gross.

At this moment, Onatu led the priests of the three Siren tribes and gathered above the deep frozen trench, preparing to unlock the seal here.

The Dark Iron Dwarf Kingdom has received the news sent by Lu Heng, but the Sirens are the overlords of this sea. Even if the Dark Iron Dwarves knew, they could do nothing.

After finding the seal, Onatu raised the Seagod's Scepter and issued an order: "Priests of the Siren Tribe, obey the call of the Seagod, let us work together to unlock the seal and let the Dark Iron Dwarves suffer the consequences they deserve."

Sixteen Siren priests spread out and surrounded the three hundred-meter-wide seal below according to specific directions.

In addition to the sixteen priests, there were hundreds of siren warriors scattered around, singing siren songs loudly.

The majestic and mighty chants made the water in the entire sea slowly revolve around them.

As Onatu waved the Scepter of Poseidon, a circle of ripples hit the seal, and the seal began to glow.

Rune patterns extended from the bottom of the sea, forming a huge magic circle and extending upwards.

From a distance, it looked like a sky-high magic circle had lit up at the bottom of the sea, emitting an aura that shocked the soul.

After the seal lighted up, sixteen Siren priests raised their staffs at the same time, released magical energy, and injected it into the seal.

As more and more magical energy was injected, the seal glowed brighter and brighter.

The sirens' chants became more powerful, and the entire sea area began to boil. Even a hundred miles away, one could feel the drastic changes here.

As the seal fully revealed itself, Onatu swam to the top of the seal, put his hand on the seal, closed his eyes, and used his mind to communicate with the "thing" under the seal.

"I will help you remove the seal. Is the previous agreement valid?"

"Of course, as long as the seal is broken, I will leave the Tidal Sea immediately. The Dark Iron Dwarves are my enemies."

"Very good, I will help you unlock the seal now." Onatu said, raising the Scepter of Poseidon and knocking on the seal, and waves of magic vibrated out.

The seal began to shake, the seabed began to shake, the entire sea area began to shake.

……

at the same time.

At the other end of the deep frozen trench, among the coral reefs ten kilometers away.

The thirteen members of Lu Heng's team and the fifty elite Siren warriors led by Celian have been lurking here.

Jiang Shaoran closed her eyes to feel the changes in the sea water, and said, "Onat has begun to unlock the seal. I don't know how long the seal can last."

Celian also knew what Onatu was doing through the sensing of the sea water.

She continued, "According to the high priest, Onatu has the Seagod's Scepter, and the seal can only last for an hour at most."

Before coming here, Lu Heng had already discussed it with the team.

The main mission of this call-up has been completed. If you just want to return safely, you can go back as long as you stay here for 30 days.

However, the challenge has not been completed so far.

Especially the challenging task of finding the source of abyss pollution, I have no clue at all.

The thirteen members of the team have tried various methods to find the source of the abyss pollution during this period, and have also asked the sirens with whom they have a good relationship, but they still have not found any clues to the source of the abyss pollution.

Theoretically speaking, the teleportation destination for this recruitment is the Siren’s territory, and most of the recruited psychics are marine-based enhancement routes.

Both of these points indicate that the source of the abyss pollution should be in the tidal sea, but even the Sirens don’t know where the source of the pollution is, which is very strange.

in fact.

Lu Heng had suspected Onatu before, suspecting that he was contaminated by the abyss and that was why he did things to disrupt the peace talks.

However, after meeting the high priestess Sona, this possibility was ruled out.

According to Sona, she checked Onatu's physical condition and found no trace of abyss pollution.

Sona is the high priestess of the Sirens and the custodian of the Scepter of Poseidon. Since she has already checked it, it means that Onatu has indeed not been contaminated by the abyss.

But if Onatu is not the source of abyss pollution, where else can the source of abyss pollution be hidden?
Lu Heng couldn't think of the answer, but the incident with the Fire Demon Gross was enough to affect the pattern of the Tidal Sea.

In other words, the Firelord Gross is likely to be the key condition for completing the world quest.

Since the source of the abyss pollution cannot be found for the time being, you can also gain benefits by dealing with the crisis of the Fire Demon Gros first.

After listening to the summary of the information, Lu Heng made a decision: "The goal of our operation this time is to prevent Onatu from opening the seal and prevent the Flame Demon Gross from reviving.

"Besides that, if you have a chance, you can try to retrieve the Poseidon Scepter."

Celian quickly added: "There is another request. Try not to kill our warriors. They are just following Onatu's orders."

Swords and knives have no eyes, and Lu Heng couldn't guarantee that he would not kill the sea monster. He could only say that he would try not to kill it.

Celian knew that this request was difficult, and added: "I came here with the order of the high priest. I will try my best to persuade the Siren warriors to lay down their weapons, so I ask everyone to show mercy."

Lu Heng nodded, raised his hand and pointed in the direction of the deep frozen trench, and said, "Let's go. This operation is very difficult, we must do it within our capabilities, and we can retreat if we are unable to do so."

Everyone put their hands together, shouted, and set off together, rushing towards the deep frozen trench.

Jiang Shaoran rolled up a wave and led everyone towards the deep frozen trench.

Celian also led her Siren warriors and swam towards the seal location at an extremely fast speed.

She rushed to the top of the seal and shouted, "All Siren Warriors, listen up. I have brought the order from the High Priest. Onatu has rebelled and seized the Sea God's Scepter. Don't listen to his instigation. Stop the action of breaking the seal immediately."

The Siren warriors who were singing the Siren's song all around looked at each other, not knowing who to listen to.

The Siren priests who were casting spells to break the seal also slowed down their movements and began to hesitate.

Onatu turned around and saw Celian, and immediately ordered: "Celian is rebelling, stop her!"

The Siren warriors he could bring here were all his confidants.

Therefore, these Siren warriors hesitated a little at first, but when they heard his order, they immediately responded, raised their weapons and rushed towards Celian.

The battle between the two sides is about to break out.

Onatu looked at the priest who was casting the spell and ordered, "Speed ​​up! As long as we release the Fire Demon Gross, the temperature of the sea water will drop and the ocean environment will return to its previous state.

"Don't you understand such a simple truth? What are you waiting for? Break the seal with all your strength."

The reason is very simple. When Onatu was communicating with the sealed will of the Fire Demon just now, these Siren priests also heard it, so they also tend to believe Onatu.

After all, no matter how terrifying the fire demon Gross is, it is impossible for him to run into the sea and attack the siren.

The Firelord Groth has resurrected, and the only ones who are truly unlucky are the Dark Iron Dwarves.

What does the bad luck of the Dark Iron Dwarves have to do with the Sirens?
Even the Sirens were happier to see the demise of the Dark Iron Dwarf Kingdom.

After all, the two tribes have been hostile for several years, and there have been constant conflicts during this period. The Dark Iron Dwarves were exterminated, and many of the Sirens would only gloat over their misfortune. In addition, these Sirens priests were all brought here by Onatu after selection, and they belonged to his faction.

Therefore, Onatu's words were recognized by these Siren priests.

Sixteen Siren priests worked together to speed up the output of magical energy in their hands to break the seal faster.

Seeing that even with the high priest's orders, Celian was unable to stop the sirens' behavior, she became angry and could only raise her weapon and fight with the siren warriors who rushed up.

However, deep down, she still didn't want her own people to kill each other, so she didn't kill anyone when she started the fight, which made it impossible for her to use her true fighting power.

The thirteen members of Lu Heng's team also immediately rushed to the battlefield and joined the battle.

However, there is no point in fighting these Siren warriors.

Lu Heng's only target is Onatu, to stop him from breaking the seal and to take back the Scepter of Poseidon.

After approaching the seal, Lu Heng drew out the Aurora Blade, performed a [Void Flash] to appear behind Onatu, and stabbed out with a sword, causing a huge wave.

Because he was in the sea, he couldn't use the sonic boom sword when he drew his sword.

The sonic boom sword can only be used in the air medium. In sea water, all physical attacks will be greatly weakened.

Because the resistance of sea water is much greater than that of air.

If it was on land, Lu Heng's sword would be enough to kill Onatu, but in the sea, it was different.

The sword light was slowed down a lot by the resistance of the sea water.

Onatu gripped the Poseidon's scepter tightly, erected a seawater shield to block the sword light, turned around and raised the harpoon to fight back.

Bang!
The two sides fought head-on, creating a violent shock wave that caused the surrounding sea water to surge.

After the fight, Lu Heng helplessly discovered that he could not even exert one third of his own combat power in the sea.

The sonic boom sword cannot be used, and the dragon breath slash is a fire attack, which also cannot exert its power.

Lu Heng forcefully used the Aurora Blade's divine skill, Dragon's Breath Slash, which boiled the surrounding sea water, but that was all.

If it were on land, the flames created by the Dragon Breath Slash would be tens of thousands of degrees hot and could burn all matter.

In the sea water, you can only boil the sea water to form steam that surges upwards.

Boiling sea water is also harmful, but it has little effect on the Sirens.

The Sirens can simply release a water shield to isolate the boiling sea water.

Onatu himself is an elder of the Sirens, with a high rank and combat power. He also holds the Scepter of Poseidon in his hand. When fighting in the sea, his strength is even greater than that of Lu Heng.

Not only Lu Heng's combat power is limited, but the combat power of other people in the team is also greatly limited.

The one who suffered the most was Lin Zeyu, who was on the firearms enhancement route, and all his attack power was concentrated on firearms.

But when the gun is in the sea, even if the bullet can be fired, the bullet will not have much power.

Even if it is a sniper rifle, once the bullet is fired and enters the water, it will only move forward one meter at most and will then have no power.

In other words, if Lin Zeyu wants to hurt the Siren with a gun, he needs to put the muzzle of the gun against the target's body and then pull the trigger to cause effective damage.

For a psychic with enhanced firearms to point a gun at a melee siren, especially in the sea where movement is restricted, this is no easier than climbing to the sky.

Therefore, Lin Zeyu could only watch from the outside of the battlefield and had no ability to participate in the battle.

Everyone understands this situation. Except for Liu Haiyang's six-member ocean team, the combat effectiveness of Lu Heng's team of four in the sea is rather embarrassing.

It’s not that Lin Zeyu has no offensive power at all, but he can’t use his trump card casually. He can only stay on the sidelines for the time being and wait for an opportunity.

……

The battle between Lu Heng and Onatu continued, and the fight between the two sides was very fierce.

Relying on the advantage of the ocean, Onatu even gained a slight advantage.

Not all of Lu Heng's skills and source abilities are restricted. He also has skills that allow him to exert his full combat power in sea water.

The most powerful of them is the Rift Slash.

However, it cannot be used near the seal.

It will take another hour for Onatu to break the seal. If Lu Heng slashes it with his sword, the seal might be cracked.

Therefore, Lu Heng could only slowly lead Onatu away from the seal until he was twenty meters away from opening it.

Lu Heng's eyes flashed with brilliance, and he swung his sword to cut through the air.

Onatu originally had the upper hand and was advancing step by step frantically, wanting to kill Lu Heng, the damn recruiter, in one fell swoop.

Therefore, his attention was entirely focused on the attack, and the moment Lu Heng slashed out with the Rift Slash, he had no time to dodge at all.

At the critical moment, Onatu raised the Scepter of Poseidon and put up a barrier to block.

Bang!
The Rift Slash instantly broke through the barrier and slashed into the Poseidon's Scepter.

clang!
The Poseidon's Scepter broke on the spot, and the sapphire [Heart of the Tide] on it flew out.

"Bastard! Damn Conqueror!" Onatu was furious when he saw the Scepter of Poseidon broken.

The most important thing about Poseidon's Scepter is actually the Poseidon gem [Heart of the Tide] on it. As for the handle of the scepter, it can be replaced at any time.

Therefore, even if the Scepter of Poseidon breaks and one can only hold the [Heart of the Tide] in one's hand, one can still obtain the power of Poseidon.

Onatu cursed loudly, then immediately swung his tail and chased after the Heart of the Tide.

A gleam of light flashed in Lu Heng's eyes. He moved faster than him. He flashed and used [Void Flash], instantly appearing in front of [Heart of the Tide], and raised his hand to grab the gem.

Onatu was immediately panicked when he saw this. He pointed at Lu Heng and shouted, "Quick! Kill him and take back our treasure!"

[Heart of the Tides] is the most important treasure of the Sirens and is controlled by the high priest of each generation of the Vashj tribe.

This is a sacred object in the hearts of all sirens.

Therefore, when the surrounding sirens saw that the [Heart of the Tide] fell into Lu Heng's hands, they immediately roared and rushed towards Lu Heng, waving their weapons.

Lu Heng raised his hand and threw the [Heart of the Tide] to Celian, shouting, "Go back and save the high priest."

Celian caught the [Heart of the Tide], held it high, and ordered: "The High Priest orders all Siren warriors to capture Onatu."

Now, she has the sacred object of the Sirens in her hand and the order of the high priest Sona, which makes some Sirens warriors hesitate.

Onatu roared angrily: "Take back our clan's sacred object!"

Most of the Siren warriors present were Onatu's confidants, and they finally chose to raise their weapons against Celian.

Before taking action, Lu Heng discussed it with Celian.

According to the previous agreement, after obtaining the [Heart of the Tide], Celian immediately withdrew from the battlefield and returned to the temple to rescue the high priest Sona.

She is the tide-calling elder of the Siren tribe, with extremely high combat power, and ordinary Siren warriors can't catch up with her at all.

She disappeared at the end of the deep sea in the blink of an eye.
