Chapter 1381 The Kuroshio of the Star Realm

The enriched negative energy merges with the divinity fragments to form a black tide that rises and falls.

With the rise and fall of the "Kuroshio", the meteorite belt is sometimes submerged and sometimes exposed, forming the so-called "reef" area.

While introducing the local situation to everyone, Jessica skillfully adjusted the direction of gravity and took the lead to fly to the reef belt.

The three of Joan followed behind him, and under the action of subjective gravity, they continued to accelerate like free-falling objects.

It wasn't until the speed was so fast that it was almost impossible to see the floating objects passing by beside them clearly, then everyone canceled the acceleration of gravity, and under the action of inertia, they kept moving forward at a constant speed in a straight line.

After continuing to fly like this for half an hour, Jessica turned her head and made a pause gesture, then adjusted the direction of gravity and decelerated sharply.

Joan and the others also quickly slowed down until they stopped in the empty starry sky.

"Sister Jessica, why did you stop suddenly?" Ruby asked inexplicably.

"Look over there—" Jessica pointed down.

Joan followed her direction, and a large black tide with endless waves blocked their way forward.

Most of the meteorites that were clearly visible on the star map have been submerged by the Kuroshio at this time, and only a few larger meteorites have sporadically exposed to the water.

"We came at an unfortunate time, just in time for the high tide. Before the Kuroshio subsides, it's best not to take risks." Jessica said with a frown.

"Jessica, is there any difference between the Kuroshio Current and the normal tide?" Medea asked curiously.

"The Kuroshio looks like a tide, but it's actually not a liquid, but a flow of negative energy absorbed and gathered by divine fragments. Together with the 'psychic storm', it is called the two supernatural disasters in the astral world." Jessica explained.

"Relatively speaking, 'Kuroshio' is more common than 'Psychic Storm', and its destructive power is not as terrifying as 'Psychic Storm'. Creatures with negative energy resistance, or monsters with a particularly strong physique like the Star Sea Squid, sneak into the black There's nothing wrong with the tide."

"But we human beings can't do it anymore. We have no innate resistance to negative energy, and our bodies are not strong enough to be immune to negative energy erosion. Negative energy erosion is like falling into an ice cave naked, at first you only feel cold and tired, and then you will lose consciousness until you die of physical exhaustion."

"That's not the end yet. Creatures that die from the erosion of negative energy will be bound in the black tide and become mindless walking corpses, or even more terrifying incorporeal undead. They will never be freed."

"For safety's sake, we'd better wait here patiently. After the tide ebbs, we will continue to explore the depths of the reef." Jessica said solemnly.

"How long will it take for the tide to go out?" Medea asked.

"The Kuroshio rises and falls once a day. If you don't consider the influence of unexpected factors such as 'Psychic Storm', the high tide usually takes about three hours." Jessica replied after thinking.

"Well, three hours is not too long."

Medea said somewhat helplessly.

That's what I said, but waiting in this empty and lonely starry sky is really boring.

Ladies can also chat to relieve boredom. Joan knew that he lacked social skills and was not interested in the topics that the ladies were talking about, so he drifted to the Kuroshio alone, intending to observe this unique supernatural phenomenon in the astral world.

"Joan! Don't get too close, the negative energy tide has a strong gravitational force, don't be sucked in!" Jessica warned from behind.

At this time, Joan felt an invisible gravitational force pulling him, so he slightly adjusted the direction of subjective gravity, so that the body that was pulled forward by the tidal gravitational force stopped.

The straight line distance from his position to the Kuroshio was about 50 feet. After careful observation, Joan found that the Kuroshio did indeed look like a flowing liquid as Jessica said, but its texture was more like a dark and cloudy mist.

It is conceivable that if you fall into the black tide, your breathing and movement will not be greatly hindered, but no matter whether you breathe or not, the skin exposed to the black tide will eventually be eroded by negative energy, the physical energy will be lost at an accelerated rate, and you will lose consciousness due to exhaustion. Eventually exhausted and died.

The harm of the Kuroshio to the human body naturally reminded Joan of those necromancy spells that also use negative energy to kill living creatures. The principles of the two are actually the same.

From the necromancy spell, Joan further thought of a 4th-level spell that he learned not long ago-the death barrier.

Just like the literal meaning, the "anti-death barrier" is specially used to resist necromancy.

Qiao An analyzed the spell configuration of the "Death Barrier", and found that the defense principle is actually very simple, which is to cut off the invasion of negative energy on the human body from the root.

Necromancy, one counts as one, almost all need to use negative energy, so as long as the channel for negative energy to invade the human body is cut off, the entire "Necromantic School" is basically for nothing.

But on the other hand, is it necessarily Necromancy that invokes negative energy?

The answer is of course no.

For example, some supernatural abilities also need to use negative energy, but they are not even spells, and they cannot be classified as Necromancy School.

Interestingly, the "Death Barrier" also has a defensive effect on such negative energy effects that do not belong to the necromantic school!

Jessica just said that the "black tide" is a supernatural phenomenon formed by the undercurrent of negative energy, so in theory, the "death barrier" should be able to resist the invasion of the black tide.

Joan rubbed his palms, thinking about it.

He wanted to verify his guess right away, but he wasn't crazy enough to risk his own life to do the experiment.

After thinking for a while, Joan had an idea. He cast a spell to create a "Blood Mosquito Agent", first bless it with a mythological link, and then bless it with a 4-ring "Death Barrier" to send the Blood Mosquito Agent closer to the Kuroshio.

The Blood Mosquito Agent evolved from one of Joan's little fingers. If the Blood Mosquito Agent can freely shuttle in the Kuroshio under the protection of the "Death Barrier" and is not corroded by negative energy, then Joan himself will bless him. After the "Death Barrier" is over, it can also be immune to the damage of the Kuroshio.

While the Kuroshio was flowing, it radiated a strong gravitational field around. Blood Mosquito Agent was about 30 feet away from the Kuroshio, and was involuntarily attracted by this invisible gravitational force.

Qiao An stared at the tiny red figure caught in the black tide, took a deep breath, and resolutely switched her senses to Blood Mosquito Agent.

Even though he had mustered up his courage and was mentally prepared to endure the pain, he still couldn't help getting goose bumps all over his body and feeling a little nervous the moment he completed the sensory switch.

Exhaling a breath slowly, Qiao An calmed down, and borrowed the senses of the blood mosquito spy to experience the feeling of being trapped in the Kuroshio.
