From the Abyss Invasion to the Blasting Star

Celian got the [Heart of the Tide], left the battlefield, summoned the Streamer Jellyfish, and rode back to the Temple of Vashj.

Not far from the Deep Frozen Trench, three black shadows suddenly appeared in front of her, blocking her way.

These three black shadows were Shadow Demons.

Seeing Shadow Demons appear in the sea, Celian immediately realized that these Shadow Demons were Abyss Summoners.

Abyss Summoners can be any kind of demon tribe, including Blood Demons, Winged Demons, Horned Demons, Black Scale Demons, Shadow Demons, etc.

However, the demons that are usually summoned are tribes with a large number of individuals.

This is similar to human summoners.

After the Abyss began to invade the human world, humans became summoners many times.

There are billions of people on Blue Star, and humans who awaken to become superpowers may be summoned.

In comparison, elves, Dark Iron Dwarves, and Bansel people are summoned much less often.

Because their tribe size has been shrinking after the invasion of the Abyss, the number of tribes has dropped rapidly, and many races are even on the verge of extinction.

If it weren't for Lu Heng's help, the Bansel people might have been exterminated during the evil god burial ground incident.

The Darkville tribe of the Dark Iron Dwarves is similar. If they can't retake Blackstone City, this branch of the Dark Iron Dwarves will not last long.

When the Bansel people were in the most dangerous time, the tribe number was only a few thousand.

In contrast, the population of Blue Star is billions, and the number of awakened superpowers continues to increase, so the probability of being recruited is naturally high.

The same is true for the demon race. When the Abyss recruits demons, it will also recruit based on the demon's racial characteristics, individual number and other factors.

The positive and negative recruitment wills have many similarities in the recruitment logic.

Shadow Demon is a land demon that normally does not appear in the Tidal Sea.

Therefore, the three-headed shadow demon that blocked Celian's way can only be the Abyss Recruiter.

The appearance of the shadow demon is similar to that of a canine creature, but it is more slender, wrapped in shadow energy, and has sharp fangs, which is very scary.

Part of the body of the shadow demon is made of shadow energy, so the appearance is not completely fixed and can change slightly.

Some shadow demons will change their appearance according to the skills and abilities they have mastered, so as to better exert the power of their skills.

In the abyss world, the shadow demon belongs to a high-powered group. This kind of monster will not appear in the general low-level abyss battlefield.

The siren tribe was once recruited into the abyss battlefield and had seen powerful demons such as shadow demons.

So when Celian saw the shadow demon appear, she was shocked and knew that the danger of this recruitment event was higher than expected.

Moreover, she realized a problem.

These three shadow demons appeared, obviously to stop her.

She had just got the [Heart of the Tide], and the shadow demon appeared.

This means that the shadow demon has been paying attention to the battlefield.

At the same time, it also revealed an important information. The purpose of Shadow Demon intercepting [Heart of the Tide] must be to prevent High Priest Sona from escaping.

If this speculation is correct, then things are far worse than expected.

Because the High Priest was imprisoned in the temple after Elder Onatu seized power, that is to say, before the appearance of Shadow Demon, this incident was a rebellion within the Sirens.

As long as the number of Sirens affected by the rebellion is not large, the impact of the incident can be minimized after the rebellion is quelled.

However, the appearance of Shadow Demon shows that things are not that simple.

This invisibly revealed a key information. Behind what Onatu did, there may be the shadow of Shadow Demon or the Abyss Summoner.

However, Celian clearly remembered that the High Priest said that Onatu did not have the breath of the Abyss.

There must be some information hidden in it.

No matter what the truth is, the most important thing now is to rescue the High Priest.

As long as the High Priest comes out of the temple, he will have the ability to save the situation.

After the three-headed shadow demon appeared, it immediately attacked Celian.

Celian waved the harpoon in her hand to fight back and tried to find an opportunity to break out of the siege.

Facing the three-headed shadow demon, Celian was not sure of winning. The most important thing now was to return to the temple to rescue the high priest and not be dragged down by the three-headed shadow demon.

The shadow demon is not an aquatic demon, so its combat power is suppressed a lot in the deep sea.

So Celian could barely deal with the three-headed shadow demon alone, but it was very difficult to get rid of the siege of the three-headed shadow demon.

...

On the other side.

In the deep frozen trench, Lu Heng's team and Onatu's sea monster elite were still fighting.

Onatu was very angry because Lu Heng took away the [Heart of the Tide], which greatly reduced the speed of breaking the seal.

At the beginning, he wanted to leave Lu Heng behind and chase Celian to take back the [Heart of the Tide], but Lu Heng did not give him this opportunity and blocked his way with a horizontal sword.

He could only turn around and attack fiercely. The two sides fought fiercely, and the sea water surged, shaking out circles of huge waves.

During the battle, Lu Heng felt that his breathing became more and more rapid, because the oxygen he got at the bottom of the sea was too little.

With the fish gill grass in his mouth, it could only provide a small amount of oxygen.

The oxygen supply of the fish gill grass was barely enough in normal times, but during the battle, the oxygen consumed increased exponentially, so the fish gill grass alone was not enough.

Lu Heng could only take out the oxygen cylinder, put on the oxygen mask, adjust his breath as quickly as possible, and continue to fight after the breath was adjusted.

Even so, in order to ensure the balance of oxygen supply, during battle, the combat power needs to be suppressed and cannot be used at full strength.

This puts Lu Heng at a disadvantage when facing Onatu's attack.

other side.

The fighting situation of Liu Haiyang and the other six people is much better. They all have underwater breathing skills and can obtain enough oxygen for fighting in the deep sea.

When facing the Siren Warriors, they all have the power to fight.

But that's all.

As a land creature, it is not easy for humans to defeat the sea monster in the deep sea.

The battle situation came to a standstill.

The current situation has achieved Lu Heng's goal.

Originally, the purpose of this operation was to prevent Onatu from breaking the seal. It was enough to hold him back.

When Sona escapes from the trap, the rest will be matters within the Siren Clan.

However, as more than a dozen black shadows appeared in the distance, the battle situation changed 180 degrees.

More than a dozen black shadows appeared, carrying strong shadow energy, bringing a strong oppressive force as soon as they appeared.

Su Muyu immediately reminded: "An abyss monster appears, covered with shadow energy."

"It's the Shadow Demon!" Lu Heng recognized it at a glance. The dozens of black shadows that appeared were the Shadow Demon.

Shadow demons are not aquatic demons, but in sea water, shadow demons have an advantage over humans.

Because humans need oxygen, but shadow demons don't.

Shadowfiends do not need to breathe oxygen to fight.

In other words, the Shadow Demon can unleash its full combat power in the deep sea without having to worry about breathing.

Of course, the Shadow Demon's combat power will still be suppressed to a certain extent in the deep sea.

Just like humans, all physical attacks will be resisted by seawater, thus greatly reducing their power.

If we must use data to describe it, humans can only exert 30%-40% of their combat power in the deep sea, while the Shadow Demon can exert at least 60% of its combat power.

Comparing the two, human beings have more obvious disadvantages.

Moreover, the first time Lu Heng saw the Shadow Demons, he knew that these Shadow Demons were Abyss Recruiters.

There is no such group as the Shadow Demon in the Tidal Sea. If there were, the Siren Clan would have discovered it long ago.

Since the Shadow Demon is not a race from the Tidal Sea, it can only be recruited from the Abyss.

The human superpowers recruited are mainly those with enhanced marine superpowers.

According to the same rule, the shadow demon recruited by the abyss must also have marine abilities.

In other words, these shadow demons must have marine skills.

As a result, human superpowers are at an even greater disadvantage.

After the Shadow Demon appeared, the surrounding Siren warriors also fell into panic for a short time.

However, the Shadow Demon did not attack the Kraken, but instead attacked the humans.

After Onatu saw the appearance of the Shadow Demon, he immediately issued an order: "All Siren warriors, kill humans, kill this group of humans!"

Seeing this, Lu Heng already guessed something, and asked Jiang Shaoran to apply water magic, and then shouted loudly: "Do you still believe Onatu? He and the Shadow Demon are in the same group!"

As soon as these words came out, many sirens present were confused.

The Sirens were once recruited into the world of the Shadow Demons, so they recognized the Shadow Demons as a very dangerous group of demons in the abyss.

The Kraken tribe has always been troubled by the abyss and hates all abyss demons.

This hatred is far greater than that of the Dark Iron dwarves.

Anyone with a clear mind knows that the Siren has an absolutely hostile relationship with the Abyss Demon, and there is no room for maneuver.

Now, Onatu saw the appearance of the Shadow Demon, but instead of ordering an attack on the Shadow Demon, he chose to attack the human conscripts.

This behavior itself is very problematic.

The Siren warriors Onatu brought over were all his confidants, but the other sixteen Siren priests were not his subordinates.

The Kraken priests belong to the priest system and obey the orders of the temple priests.

Moreover, those who can become priests in the Siren Clan have strong talents and high spiritual power.

When facing the abyss, he is more sober than other Siren warriors.

Therefore, after hearing Lu Heng's reminder, the sixteen Siren Priests also began to doubt Onatu.

"Elder Onatu, even if we have conflicts with the human conscripts, we should deal with the shadow demons first, and then deal with the issues with the conscripts." A siren priest raised a question.

Onatu said angrily: "I am the leader of the tribe now. Follow my orders, kill the human conscripts and break the seal!"

When Lu Heng heard his words, he knew that the situation was about to change, and said loudly: "Did you hear that? Onatu and the Shadow Demon are in the same group, and he has been contaminated by the abyss.

“The Shadow Demon attacks the recruiter as soon as it appears, with the obvious purpose of helping Onatu break the seal.

"The purpose that the abyss wants to achieve is what we want to stop. The Siren warriors who don't want to be polluted by the abyss should deal with the shadow demon first."

Several Siren Priests looked at each other, and after a brief discussion, they made a decision and announced loudly: "No matter whether Elder Onatu is contaminated by the abyss or not, there is nothing wrong with dealing with the Shadow Demon first.

"After the Shadow Demon is dealt with, we can discuss whether we want to break the seal."

Most of the Siren Priests present agreed with this statement: "That's right. Deal with the Shadow Demon first and discuss other matters later."

For a while, there was a disagreement within the Siren team. Some chose to obey the order of the Siren Priest and turn around to attack the Shadow Demon.

Some continued to attack humans under the mandatory order of Onatu.

In an instant, the battlefield fell into a melee.

Humans, Shadow Demons, and the two groups of Siren who had disagreements formed a four-way melee.

Even so, humans were at a great disadvantage in the deep sea.

Lu Heng immediately made a decision and ordered: "Learn the Shadow Demons to the surface of the sea."

As he spoke, Lu Heng first led the two Shadow Demons and rushed to the sea.

The Shadow Demon itself is also a land demon, so the Shadow Demon also wants to fight on land, so when he saw Lu Heng rushing to the sea, he immediately followed and turned into two black shadow arrows to chase him closely.

Su Muyu, Lin Zeyu, and Xie Shien also immediately swam upstream and led the Shadow Demon to the surface of the sea.

Liu Haiyang and the other six were marine warriors, so they didn't mind fighting in the sea, but they also tried to lead the shadow demons to a position close to the sea surface to fight.

If they were at a disadvantage in the battle, they could choose to float to the surface to seek support.

...

After rushing out of the sea, Lu Heng ran on the sea surface with a sword.

Two shadow demons flew in the air behind him, chasing closely.

The shadow demon is a demon with a dual structure of matter and energy, and its body mass is lower than that of other demons.

In addition, the special nature of shadow energy makes it easy for them to acquire the ability to fly.

The speed of the two shadow demons was very fast, like two sharp arrows, shooting at Lu Heng's back.

Just now at the bottom of the sea, the two shadow demons had been attacking Lu Heng fiercely, and Lu Heng was almost unable to fight back.

Therefore, they thought that the human recruiter in front of them was not strong enough, and as long as they accelerated their offensive, they would soon be able to kill and swallow this human recruiter.

Lu Heng ran on the sea for a while, shook off the seawater on his body, breathed in the air, and felt comfortable all over.

After the breath in his body was fully restored, a cold look flashed in Lu Heng's eyes, and he turned around and slashed with a sword.

Wind Dragon Absolute Breath Slash!

The second level of Wind Dragon Absolute Breath Slash was launched, and the wind howled, and the wind tornado rolled up the seawater.

A rotating huge wave rushed into the sky, trapping the two shadow demons in it.

After the tornado knife was combined with seawater, it became an ice knife, slicing the shadow demons frantically.

The two shadow demons struggled and roared in the wind dragon, but the wind pressure was too strong, and they couldn't escape no matter how hard they struggled.

When they burst out with defensive skills to break through the blockade, Lu Heng's second sword came.

Flying Dragon Tracer!

A sword crossed the sky and slashed through the two shadow demons.

The two shadow demons were instantly broken into two pieces, and the shadow energy exploded "bang" under the powerful sword light, exploding into thousands of fragments.

[Kill the Shadow Demon, absorb 2000 energy points.]

Two consecutive prompts, plus the energy absorbed before, the body is once again filled with energy tides.

[Source energy level increased to level 43, all attributes +5, agility attribute additional +1.5]
