Chapter 1637

"What we took? What exactly are you referring to?"

Megan asked, her voice also quite clear in the rainy night. And within this short period of time, the ship behind her and Xia De had already been completely frozen. This was not a ring sorcerer's ability at all; it was the out-of-control relic affecting the surrounding environment.

"Everything! The badge! The letters! And, my key!"

That last roar could fully show just how angry this person was at this moment, but it could also prove that the small wooden key was indeed quite important.

Among the black-robed people behind Rotten Eye Barry, one also spoke:

"Sir, and this lady. We don't know how Barry offended you, but as long as you return the key, everything that happened today can be treated as if it never happened."

【The novel app that has been running stably for many years, comparable to the old version of the book-chasing artifact, the source-changing app that all old bookworms are using,】

"By saying that, aren't you making it even more impossible for us to hand over the key?"

Xia De also said, but compared to the other few who could use various techniques to speak clearly and forcefully in the rainy night, he was purely relying on his own physical strength to speak loudly.

While speaking, he pinched the witch's hand behind him, signaling that she could let her followers come over.

Megan knowingly pinched his hand in response, so Xia De let go of the female sorceress's hand and took a step forward:

"How about this, you tell me how exactly one can enter that island, and whether that gentleman on the island is really Laplace Klein Howard. Tell us this, and the key can be returned to you. The Mirror Society keeps its word."

It's a pity that the visibility was really too poor now, and Xia De could not see the shocked expressions on their faces when they heard the name of the thirteen-ring diviner.

The other party clearly did not intend to speak, because Rotten Eye Barry had already stepped on the ice and rushed toward Xia De.

Seeing that the two black-robed ring sorcerers did not move, Xia De waved his hand backward, signaling Megan not to intervene either.

He held his right hand in the air and took out a bright yellow longsword from the void, then met the man who was already close to madness.

"Leap of Laglai!"

When dealing with the water ghosts just now, he had already prepared the spellcasting materials, so Xia De took a step out of the transparent force field that was sheltering them from the rain, and then appeared behind Rotten Eye Barry, who was already closing in.

The gorgeous longsword in his hand, translucent like crystal material, stabbed toward his head. Barry, whose left side of his body had swollen a circle due to the ice layer covering it, clearly had never encountered an opponent with spatial abilities. Under Xia De's surprise attack, the yellow Moonlight Sword easily pierced through his head, but after the flesh and blood tissue was shattered, the ice layer immediately filled the vacancy of the flesh and blood. On his body, the ice layer was getting thicker and thicker.

"This person is really beyond saving!"

Xia De thought in his heart.

And Barry finally turned around a beat late and swept horizontally backward with his frozen left hand. Xia De on the ice surface dodged it nimbly while getting rained on, but the wind generated by the other party's arm sweep still left frost on half of his body.

For an out-of-control relic, one cannot be too cautious. Confirming that the other party now had a certain degree of immortality, Xia De stepped back quickly and had no intention of continuing close-quarters combat.

But Barry's intelligence clearly hadn't gone wrong yet. He understood Xia De's intention and immediately followed, aiming that constantly spinning magic eye at Xia De's position. No matter how fast Xia De was, he couldn't be faster than the movement of a gaze. The moment the magic eye aimed at him, he actually felt himself fixed in his current position.

This was not a spatial lock, but a conceptual "immobilization." Xia De didn't know the original level of that magic eye, but in the magic eye's out-of-control state, he actually failed to break free from this immobilization that made him unable to move immediately, and he even felt that even if he transformed, he might not necessarily be able to solve the problem immediately.

With a 'bang' sound, the man who had already gone mad smashed his frost-covered fist toward Xia De. Although Xia De couldn't move, he could still move himself. With the Leap of Laglai still waiting for its cooldown time, he could only swing his fist and collide with it.

The falling raindrops and ice particles splashed everywhere, and fine spiderweb-like cracks appeared on the solid ice layer. Xia De did not lose the upper hand in the collision of strength, but because of the combat venue, he fell directly into the water under the ice layer.

Rotten Eye Barry let out a beast-like roar at the ice hole, then turned around abruptly and looked at the female sorceress standing in front of the frozen sinking ship.

The brown-haired lady's mouth curled up, revealing a cold smile. The ice layer on Rotten Eye Barry's body, centered on that pale heart that was merging with the normal heart, spread to more parts of his body, as if he had already put on a layer of crude armor.

The magic eye aimed at Megan, and she also felt the feeling of immobilization that Xia De had just felt. But more than that, it was as if an emptiness had been added to her heart, and the mood of being somewhat worried about Xia De's situation dissipated without a trace.

"Indifference."

In her ear, Audrey whispered softly:

"That pale heart should be the Secret Keeper-level relic 【Heart of Indifference】, and the power of that heart is interacting with the magic eye. The frost ability is just incidental; what really needs to be guarded against is its influence on the spirit. In our current situation, once affected, the situation will become very dangerous."

"I understand."

The indifferent emotion transmitted through that magic eye by the heart had already made her feel that something was wrong. If she really came into contact with the power of that relic's riot, she was afraid that she would again experience the dizziness and vertigo after over-casting spells when she first met Xia De.

She prepared for a counterattack, lifting her hands slightly upward, and the large ship frozen in ice behind her trembled under the witch's power, about to break free from the ice layer. But just at this moment, under Rotten Eye Barry's feet, scorching red light broke through the ice surface, and chains carrying the power of the Primordial Fire drilled through the ice layer and wrapped around his legs.

Clatter!

Xia De broke through the ice layer and appeared on the ice surface again. He leaped up, and the scorching black iron chains in his hand wrapped around Rotten Eye Barry's body. The scorching flames and the cold hard ice on the surface of his body stuck together, and scorching steam constantly rose from his body amidst Barry's screams.

Xia De in the air didn't care about any of this. With his back to the three moons behind the dark clouds, he opened his arms in the air:

"Moonlight—Slash!"

The gorgeous silver arc of light pierced through Barry's body, and after that arc of light slid on the ice surface for a moment, it returned to Xia De's panting appearance.

The chains were retracted, and the frozen corpse fell to the left and right. Megan walked quickly toward Xia De and helped him up. At the same time, the unique humming sound of a steam engine came, and the 8 girls from the two ships had also arrived at the periphery of this frozen water area.

Xia De was helped to stand up by Megan and looked at the two black-robed people near the broken wooden boat. Megan's followers also stepped onto the ice from the other side behind the black-robed people and surrounded them.

But those two were not panicked, only releasing their own life rings, revealing the levels of eight rings and nine rings. It's just that I don't know if they were ring sorcerers just sent by the 【Drowned Sect】 to assist Barry, or if they had been helping Barry locally all along.

In the rain, the indistinguishable prayers of the two came.

"Something's wrong... the whisper element hasn't dissipated!"

The witch reacted immediately, and Xia De reacted even faster. The 【Thunder Spear】 in his hand had already been thrown at the corpse on the ice surface.

Silver thunder exploded in the rain, stirring up fragments of hard ice and large splashes of water, and even water mist was produced because the thunder evaporated the liquid.

And when the water mist subsided, the two halves of the corpse were forcibly stitched together by the power of the relic, so Rotten Eye Barry, who had already transformed into a water ghost, stood up again.

The eye was still that magic eye, the cut mark on the chest healed, but the pale heart was embedded in the chest. With the rustling spread of the ice layer, the ugly fish-headed human-bodied corpse was completely protected by the cold ice. He seemed to still retain self-awareness, looked at the two with cold eyes, made an obscene gesture at Xia De and Megan, and then plunged into the ice hole broken by the thunder spear.

An inexplicable vibration came from the water body under the ice surface, and then everyone perceived that more and more corpses under the water were gathering toward this area. These were definitely not the ordinary water ghosts that besieged the yacht just now. Xia De felt that there were several undead individuals among them that would feel quite troublesome even if he came to deal with them:

"Things are getting troublesome... you deal with those two ring sorcerers. Without a manipulator, the water ghosts will be much simpler to deal with."

Xia De pulled out another pendant from his chest and said to Megan. He didn't let those ladies go because he was confident that he was better at underwater combat and better at dealing with out-of-control relics. But this time Megan did not agree. The female sorceress grabbed his hand seriously, and the white light emitted by the key in Xia De's palm had already overflowed from between his fingers:

"This is no longer a relic going out of control; this looks like the 【Truth Society】's relic fusion technology. If you go into the water alone, you might not necessarily be able to beat it, and there are other water ghosts."

"So, you need to solve the undead manipulator on the water surface as soon as possible. Don't forget, I have a way to deal with the undead."

Saying this, the golden sun, moon, and star ritual pattern had already unfolded from under Xia De's feet. The white light extended from his palm until it turned into a pitch-black wooden long staff. He gave Megan a reassuring look:

"The ones who are a threat here are just Rotten Eye Barry and those two ring sorcerers. You solve the ring sorcerers as soon as possible, otherwise I will really be in danger. Ha, I had long guessed that the operation at night would be dangerous, so I made various preparations in advance. Even if your ancestor appeared now, I could still take you and escape again."

Megan pursed her lips and looked at him, who was already soaked through. There was a smile in the man's eyes, as well as an expression that would not be refused:

"Now is not the time for us to waste time. You just wait here for me to come back."

She nodded gently, and the annoyance at her own powerlessness became stronger than ever:

"Be careful."

Xia De smiled, lifted his foot and shattered the ice layer, and then plunged into the water.
