Chapter 209 Strange Demon Inspector
How to enter the secondary plane from nature?
This is a simple yet profound question.
If you want to shuttle between the main plane of nature and the secondary plane for a long time and stably, you have to find a stable channel between the two.
But if you just want to move across planes briefly and temporarily, then you only need to learn a detection spell that can detect plane rifts, then cast spells while wandering around, find the plane rifts, and then be brave enough to get in. ——Of course, no one will like the consequences of this approach.
In the aphotic zone of the Mediterranean Sea, the pitch-black seawater was stirred by the underwater propulsion array in the diving room. The gurgling sound of the water spread to the surrounding sea areas along with the ripples of detection spells.
"Master, about 1,600 meters ahead, there is a trace of slowly expanding toxins." Xia Zuo's eyes glowed green, staring ahead, pointing to the seabed terrain map on the console, and said to Rexor beside him.
"There is a trench there, and I once saw large tracts of activated sea bamboo shoots there." Hillenberg recalled, and then said:
"However, I remember that the activated sea bamboo shoots contain toxins. Maybe we need to go over and take a look right away."
"Hmm..." Rexor Mosuo shook his bald head, "Then skip the two plane rifts we just discovered and go directly to the trench where the toxin exists."
"Okay, let's go." Hillenberg controlled the diving room to accelerate and sneak.
"Oh, guys, we may have found the right place." Seritus bent his legs and sat on his heels, maintaining the unique posture of a witcher in meditation, closing his eyes and saying:
"I sensed that in the trench we are going to, there is a dimensional rift that is not in good condition. It has been damaged by spell energy and is very unstable. Be careful, Hillenburg."
"Copy that, Master."
200 meters away from the trench, Hillenburg reduced the navigation speed of the diving room to make the movement of the underwater propelling array smaller, and restrained excess energy fluctuations to avoid allowing the fragile plane fissures to penetrate like a frightened wild rabbit. Go back to the den.
Plane passages are arranged from low to high in terms of their stability, followed by rifts, rifts, and passages.
According to the records in "Fundamentals of Plane Science", plane rifts can achieve short-term material exchange between two planes, with a duration of at least 1 second and a maximum of 50 hours. The rate of material exchange ranges from 1 cubic millimeter. /day to 1 cubic meter/second.
Generally speaking, plane rifts can only exist within 10 hours, and the rate of material exchange will not exceed 10 cubic millimeters per day.
Changes of this magnitude will not cause people to pay attention in most cases.
Only those mages who are observant of their surroundings and have sufficiently developed spiritual oceans can perceive the blending of planes.
Thanks to the Tower Mage's continuous study of planes, it is no longer a problem to detect tiny plane cracks.
Plane fissures usually appear within a 20-kilometer radius around the plane passage, and there are no fissures elsewhere.
Xia Zuo followed the master demon hunter around the sea area and saw no less than 5 dimensional fissures.
They are suspended in the seawater like broken glass pieces. When light hits them, they will cause weak refraction, and their appearance can barely be seen with the naked eye.
"Master, I have seen the source of the poison." Xia Zuo turned his head and looked at Rexor and said, the green light in his eyes fell on the opponent's black dragon armor, "I can confirm that they come from inside the crack. Because toxins appear out of thin air.”
"Attention, there is a lot of debris next to the fissure." Hillenberg rubbed the orb and saw the scene near the fissure, which confirmed Xia Zuo's judgment.
It was a picture painted with black blood and fine pieces of flesh and bones.
The activated sea bamboo shoots in the trench are intact, but their living environment has been polluted.
In the seawater here, there are many long strips of viscous blood, mixed with internal organ fragments squeezed into flat shapes by the water pressure. The debris is affected by the current and floats towards the diving room, floating above everyone's heads and feet. Passed, leaving behind a trail of stains.
The fissures in the plane that the four of them were following were shrinking and spitting out poisonous blood and pieces of flesh.
Several twisted things that still maintained the appearance of roots under high pressure were spit out from the cracks and landed on the glass wall of the diving room.
"I'll bring these roots in." Rexor stretched out his hand and pressed it against the wall. His figure flashed and appeared outside the wall.
He waved his arms, condensing a whip of water, rolled up the thick roots, and then returned to the diving room.
Seritus immediately took out a glowing alchemical lamp and projected a faint blue light onto the roots. The dense shamanic characters emerged under the blue light.
Rexall compared the shamanic writing on the roots with the patterns in his memory, "Yes, they are Neoxat's roots. They are indeed his ritual secrets."
"Pu Chi Chi, Pu Chi Chi..." The speed at which the fissure in the plane spewed matter became unstable, and fragmented fissures appeared and disappeared, which was a sign that it was about to close.
Rexall immediately came to the diving room again and threw several glass beads in before the crack was completely closed.
"Quick! Let's go to the plane connection point quickly. The beacon I deployed can only exist for 3 hours." Rexall returned to the diving room and shouted.
Hillenberg activated the underwater propulsion array, controlled the diving room to rush out of the blood-stained trench, and headed towards the connection point.
"Should we notify the stronghold and let the guards from the Thunder Sea plane rush over first? Nyoksat's clone seems to have been seriously injured." Hillenburg asked.
Rexor thought for a second, seemed hesitant, hammered his hands and said:
"Forget it, let's let the stronghold guards intervene. The stubborn chairman of the Shaman Society wasted precious time, and we still failed to catch up with the deep-sea turtle."
"We have to choose trustworthy guards to help." Cerites said with arms crossed. "Difantana's shrine has been classified as a taboo. The fewer people who know about it, the better."
"Let me ask, who is leading the patrol at this time..." Rexor flipped the secret message ring, "If it is someone I know, that would be great..."
Halfway through the diving room, Rexall's secret message ring received a reply.
"Very good, that guy Oaks just changed his shift. I think he doesn't mind extending his working hours for us." Rexall let out a low laugh, looking very familiar with the man named Oaks.
"Hmm..." Cerites Mosuo raised his helmet chin, "I haven't seen that guy for a long time. I wonder when he will take the initiative to apply to return to the main plane. Could it be that after so many years, he still can't let go? Is it a grudge in your heart..."
"Never mind him, he has his own way of living." Rexor waved his hand and looked at a rugged outline that appeared at the edge of his vision.
Xia Zuo noticed that there was a light group in front of him that was gradually getting bigger. It was a glass ball that could travel freely in the sea water.
Rexor stepped forward, showed his emblem to the other party, and received a response that allowed him to go with him.
The diving room followed the glass ball into the trench and passed through huge metal doors. Every time it walked a short distance, the surrounding pressure decreased by one point.
When the diving chamber was clamped by curved metal claws and placed firmly on the dock platform, the outside was filled with air and the light of the alchemy lamp, and the pressure had returned to normal.
The environment inside the plane stronghold can be described as an ecological garden. Alchemy plants are planted on both sides of the aisles. There are special areas for raising meat poultry. There are also spacious warehouses to store materials needed for life, work, and cultivation, forming a independent underwater space.
All this is to minimize contact with the outside world and maintain one's own concealment.
Xia Zuo took off his unused diving suit and walked behind the bald man. There were four unique glass balls suspended next to the team. They were the guards here, responsible for guiding and supervising Xia Zuo and his party as they entered the plane teleportation. Door.
The other people in the team were not surprised that the real owner did not show up and only sent a glass ball. Xia Zuo, who had just arrived, suppressed his curiosity and walked into a room without saying a word. A separate plane transfer room for visitors.
There is an oval mirror in the center of the room.
There was a gray and foggy scene in the mirror, with blue and purple lightning flashing back and forth.
Before Xia Zuo teleported, he carefully looked at the gray fog inside, and then realized that they were raindrops the size of fingernails. They were swept by the strong wind and flew around, hovering in the air for a long time, and could never follow the gravity. Fall down.
Facing the violent scene, Xia Zuo couldn't help but swallow his saliva. "Master, should I go in like this? Do you want to wear something..."
"No need." Rexor held the other person's shoulder, "Don't worry. You and Hillenberg will stay in the dedicated shuttle on the Thunder Sea plane and be responsible for picking us up."
Rexall looked at the calm Hillenburg, "If the deep sea turtle is injured, I need you to prepare special medicine as soon as possible and use blessing spells for first aid. There is a medical platform in the shuttle, as well as supporting material inventory, you can Use as needed.”
"Leave it to us." Hillenberg nodded, "I know how to rescue the deep-sea turtle, but only if it cooperates."
"It will cooperate. Let's go." Rexall stepped into the mirror first.
Xia Zuo followed closely behind.
…
"A change in the host's plane environment has been detected, and the character template is being updated...update successful!"
After Xia Zuo entered the ellipsoid's shuttle, the information from Goldfinger immediately came to his mind. The update speed was very fast, and it was completed in the blink of an eye.
On the new character template, the water, wind and earth resistances among the four resistances have been reduced. The first two have been temporarily weakened by 30%, and the latter have been weakened by 15%. All three resistances have become The big duck egg was not reduced to a negative number.
Fire resistance directly becomes "unusable".
All spells related to the fire element cannot be released. At the same time, props that can produce flames cannot be used in the Thunder Sea plane.
The most typical ones are fireball and firestone.
When Xia Zuo was memorizing the basic knowledge of plane learning, he came up with the idea of "How is it possible that I can't even cast fire spells?"
After he discovered that the violent storm was blocked by the cabin of the shuttle, he quietly tried to cast a fireball... Sure enough, the small fire element in the spiritual ocean was completely unresponsive, and no fire energy was guided out.
Rexor on the side was keenly aware of the change in Xia Zuo's expression, and instantly guessed the other person's thoughts, and said without surprise:
"Don't try, Xia Zuo. The binding force of the plane laws is insurmountable. Even the pyromancer will have to mute his fire when he gets here."
Xia Zuo smiled awkwardly and gave up the idea of taking out the flint stone from his alchemy pocket to try to start a fire...
He looked around at the scene around him and felt strangely calm.
For those who like to stay at home, read books and play on the computer when it rains, taking a shuttle to sail in the Thunder Sea plane will definitely give them an overwhelming experience.
Despite the wind and rain outside, big raindrops hit the glass cabin, and there was no movement inside the cabin. Only the faint sound of rainwater came in.
Rexall took out a glass ball the size of his head, stared at the glowing bright spots in the ball, and gave directions to the stronghold guard who controlled the shuttle.
Xia Zuo and Hillenburg walked into the medical cabin and checked the inventory and equipment.
The guards of the plane stronghold often deal with strange demons, and everything related to them is available. However, due to the small size of the shuttle, the alchemy platform is a reduced version, only about half of the normal size.
The toxin inventory was a bit beyond Xia Zuo's expectations. In addition to the 60 basic toxins, there were also many semi-finished products.
Rexall mentioned before that Neoxat's second clone was carried by the deep-sea turtle transformed by the Church of Strange Demons.
Then, whether it is treating its external or internal injuries, 22 types of compound toxins identified from the monster eggs will be used.
As long as the toxins needed for healing are not zero toxins, Xia Zuo can use semi-finished toxins to make them. The quality may not be high, but it is definitely enough.
Just as Xia Zuo was preparing the toxin bottle, a thunder exploded outside the shuttle.
"Crack!"
A sudden explosion broke the silence, and Xia Zuo immediately looked up at the cockpit.
Why is this thunder so loud?
A glass tube with a spiral pattern protruded from the front end of the shuttle. After a short period of charging, it shot out a bolt of lightning as thick as the mouth of a bowl.
"Crack!"
It turns out that the loud noise was caused by lightning being fired from the shuttle.
This bolt of lightning zigzagged out and landed on a black object not far away in an instant.
Xia Zuo walked back to the cockpit, put his arms on the glass, and saw the true appearance of the black object.
It was a huge flying object covered with long black hair that looked like a human head.
The strong wind lifted its long hair, revealing its scarlet flesh and beating blood vessels. Tentacles like black whips emerged from the gaps in the flesh and danced wildly in the air, driving away the two shuttles chasing around it.
The size of the shuttle is far inferior to this ugly huge flying object, and is only about one-tenth the size of the opponent.
But with its better maneuverability and turning ability, the shuttle dexterously avoided the tentacle attack, tightly entangled the opponent, and disturbed the enemy with bolts of lightning.
"It seems that we have found the rightful owner. The strange demons church has sent a high-level strange demon monitor. His resistance to beatings is three times that of ordinary strange demon monitors."
Rexor said while using the secret message ring to contact Oaks on the other shuttle:
"Neoxat's clone must have been caught by the high-level alien demon monitor. This alien creature is escaping to the edge of the Thunder Sea plane. We cannot let it succeed, otherwise the shadow demon hiding in its body will Attempt to teleport to the darkroom plane."
"I'm ready, Leitho." Seritus activated his elemental body, and jet-black dragon scale armor spread all over his body.
"Then let's go." Rexor also activated the elemental body, stretched out his hand to press on the cabin door, and flashed outside the cabin.
He held the hatch with his left hand and raised his right hand high. A huge raindrop gathered in the palm of his right hand and turned into a sharp stream of water that spread from his hand to his whole body. His whole person turned into a human-shaped waterspout.
"Bang!" Rexor's feet kicked hard on the outer shell of the shuttle. It penetrated the rain barrier like a cannonball and shot towards the high-level strange demon monitor. The heavy explosive force even made the shuttle tremble.
"Bang!" Seretes quickly passed through the storm with the same posture and smashed into the target's body.
"Ang~~~" The strange demon monitor let out an old whine, and the tentacles that drove the shuttle were retracted. Even though the shuttle's lightning hit the flesh and blood, the strange demon monitor showed no reaction.
The battlefield fell into an eerie calm, and a fierce battle was going on in a corner that Xia Zuo couldn't see.
This is the first time Xia Zuo has seen a high-level strange demon monitor, and it is also the first time he has seen Rexor show his true strength.
He recovered from his brief trance and immediately called up the feedback information of the detection technique.

…
The feedback information from the high-level strange demon monitor was very detailed, which was a bit beyond Xia Zuo's expectations.
However, he didn't take it to heart and continued to check Rexall's information.
After activating the elemental body, the eight-dimensional attributes and resistance values of the bald head all changed to "???". Only the protective spell effect that looked like a waterspout was detected by Golden Finger.
…
【Spell Effect 1】
Reduce water and wind damage received by at least 30%.
【Spell Effect 2】
Immune to electric damage and electric control.
【Spell Effect 3】
Any target that comes into contact with this protective spell will undergo a water and wind resistance test. If the test fails, it will suffer a huge amount of water and wind damage, and has a medium probability of being affected by the water binding spell.
…
This kind of protective spell that uses two systems of energy to combine protection, offense and control is really cool...
Lightning from the Thunder Sea plane flashed outside the cabin...illuminating Xia Zuo's longing expression. At this moment, he felt that he had to consider accelerating his promotion to a high-level mage.
