The spring breeze of Iceland, carrying the unique salty and fishy smell of the North Atlantic, sweeps over the bluish-gray stone walls of the Wolf castle, rolling up a few clusters of stubborn edelweiss in the corner. Lin Yuan was kneeling in his mother Ella's stone chamber, his fingertips gently touching an ancient book with a leather cover - the edges of the pages had been worn down by the passage of time, and the psychic manipulation techniques recorded in the ancient script of the Wolf race on it were copied by his mother herself before her death. At his waist, the alliance totem pendant that Elena had spent half a month creating suddenly became scorching hot. The silver patterns shone with a rapid red light as if they had come alive, burning him so much that he instinctively clenched his fists - this was the highest alarm agreed upon by the alliance of all races, and it would only be triggered when a member encountered a fatal crisis. Lin Yuan suddenly grabbed the communicator on the table. The screen lit up instantly, and his blood-stained face popped out. The howling sea breeze in the background almost overturned the communicator, and the roar of huge waves crashing against the rocks was like a muffled rumble of thunder rolling past.
"Lin Yuan!" It's the long-distance caravan of the Desert Wolf Spirit!" Shaya's voice was fragmented by the signal. His heavy breathing was mixed with the sharp "beep beep" alarm of the psychic detector. "Thirty merchant ships, carrying psychic crystals for the Nordic Alliance, have lost contact in the 'Devil's Triangle' of the North Atlantic!" The last image sent back... Look!" The communicator screen suddenly switched, and the picture trembled violently. In the dark black sea water, countless dark green light spots were floating and sinking - those were black runes engraved on the scales of the school of fish. As the runes circulated, the originally gentle sardines became fierce and frantically rammed the psychic shields of the merchant ships. This energy fluctuation... It has the same origin as the Gates of Hell, but is even more eerie!" Shaya's Wolf ears stand up angrily in the picture. "It can contaminate the minds of creatures and turn docile Marine creatures into dark puppets!"
Lin Yuan almost rushed out of the stone chamber, his leather boots making a rapid sound as they stepped on the stone steps of the ancient castle. On the tarot, the engines of the vampire's main ship, the "Silver Moon", were humming in a low hum. The silver-blue spiritual energy flowed like a stream through the silver-gray hull, dyeing the morning mist into a dreamy halo. Sylvia was leaning against the door of the ship. Her black combat suit, which clung to her body, outlined her neat lines. She raised her hand to pin the drowing silver-blue hair behind her ear and threw an encrypted file with bat lacquer prints into Lin Yuan's arms. As the document unfolded, the red psychic shadow on the satellite image was particularly glaring - the area of the North Atlantic Ocean, known as the "sleeping Land of Atlantis", was shrouded in an irregular dark energy. "The final data sent back by the monitoring station set up by the council at a depth of 3,000 meters under the sea," Sylvia's silver pupils were frozen with frost. "The pH value of the sea water has dropped sharply, and the concentration of psychic energy is fifty times that of normal sea areas. The monitor said they saw groups of mutant lanternfish, with human bones with runes in their mouths - they were the guards of the caravan."
The metallic clanging sound came from the other side of the tarmac. Elena ran over carrying a half-person tall psychic detector. On the instrument's display screen, waveforms representing dark energy jumped up and down like madness, and the green indicator lights flickered wildly. Her nose tip was smeared with a few oil stains, and her forehead was soaked with sweat, but she was smiling excitedly: "The 'Soul Chaser' I modified overnight can lock onto this new dark energy frequency with an error of no more than one meter!" " She suddenly stopped laughing and took out a piece of animal skin paper from her pocket - it was a rubbing of an ancient rainforest book sent by Green Feather, on which a black shadow in the shape of a tentacle was drawn in hieroglyphics, with the four Chinese characters "Deep Sea Nightmare" written beside it. "Green Feather said that the thousand-year-old trees in the rainforest record that this was a dark creature sealed in the Mariana Trench by the Wolf God in alliance with the ocean spirits back then, feeding on the negative emotions of other creatures." " Elena's finger swept across the seal pattern on the rubbing. "The energy tide during the Blood Moon was too strong, loosening its seal. Now it's climbing up along the ocean current, polluting the sea areas along the way."
When the "Silver Moon" pierced through the clouds, Lin Yuan had already spread out clues about various ethnic groups on the long table in the meeting room. The ancient books of the Wolf tribe sent by the Tor Clan were bound with copper buckles. The pages were yellowish like withered leaves, and on them were written with a wolver-hair pen: "Atlantis, the place where the Wolf god made an alliance with the ocean spirits, building a tidal sanctuary, hiding the tears of the sea god, and subduing the deep sea's curse." Beside the ancient books were the parliamentary documents brought by Sylvia. The ink marks on the parchment scrolls were somewhat blurred, but they clearly recorded Valerius' crimes - fifty years ago, he secretly formed a salvage team, sneaked into the ruins of Atlantis, and attempted to steal the tears of the sea god to awaken the deep sea nightmare as his combat power. Eventually, he was exiled by the council. Lin Yuan traced the portrait of Valerius on the document with his fingertip. The three claw marks on the left side of his face were exactly the same as the scar of the night owl. These clues are strung together. His fingertips tapped on the map. "Valerus didn't succeed back then, but he left behind a complete salvage route. Now, the remnants of the Black Claw are carrying out his plan - using the pollution power of the Deep Sea Nightmare to open a new gap in the gates of Hell in the ocean."
"It's that haunting traitor again." " Sylvia's fingertips pressed hard against the name of Valerius on the document. The silver-blue psychic energy condensed in her palm, burning a shallow mark on the parchment. She raised her eyes to look at Lin Yuan, the rage in her eyes almost overflowing: "Not only did he collude with Raymond, but he also secretly laid out so many tricks up his sleeve." The caravan of the Desert Wolf Spirit carried a large amount of psychic crystals, which were exactly the "nourishment" that the Deep Sea Nightmare needed most. Black Claw deliberately let the caravan pass through this sea area, hoping to use the psychic crystals to accelerate the awakening of the Deep Sea Nightmare. She suddenly gave a cold laugh. "It seems they are not willing to accept their defeat in the battle of Blood Moon and want to make a comeback on another battlefield."
When the "Silver Moon" hovered over the target sea area, even Elena, who was accustomed to dark scenes, gasped in astonishment. The once deep blue sea water had now turned into thick ink, and the sunlight was completely swallowed up within half a meter of penetrating the sea surface. On the sea surface, there were patches of fish carcasses that had turned white, ranging from palm-sized herring to sharks several meters long. Without exception, the scales were all engraved with tiny black runes. After losing their energy support, the runes were fading at a visible speed to the naked eye. Elena connected the interface of the "Soul Chaser" to the radar system of the "Silver Moon". Instantly, the three-dimensional outline of the ocean floor emerged on the screen - a huge palace ruin was quietly sleeping at a depth of three thousand meters underwater, the white crystal walls glistening faintly in the darkness, and the red cursor of the psychic detector was firmly fixed on the top of the spire in the center of the ruin. "Here it is, the Tidal Temple." " Elena's fingers circled the area of the palace on the screen. "The fluctuations of the psychic core are exactly the same as the description in the ancient books. The tears of the Sea God must be inside."
"Sylvia and I will go down in the exploration module. Elena, you stay on the 'Silver Moon'." While putting on the diving suit, Lin Yuan gave instructions. Elena's specially made pressure-resistant diving suit was woven from Holy silver fibers, and the silver patterns on its surface flowed under the light, capable of simultaneously resisting the corrosion of deep-sea high pressure and dark energy. He pinned the alliance badge to the collar of his diving suit. The glow of the badge resonated with the patterns, creating a warm halo. Your task is to activate the psychic interference network of the "Silver Moon", releasing a Holy silver pulse every ten minutes to interfere with the energy transmission of the Deep Sea Nightmare. Lin Yuan patted Elena on the shoulder and said, "There's an emergency distress signal device in the detection chamber. Once it's triggered, you immediately use the traction beam to pull us up." " Elena nodded vigorously and stuffed a metal key into his hand: "This is the emergency power switch of the detection cabin. If you get entangled by a tentacle, press this one. It can instantly release three times the thrust."
The spherical deep-sea exploration capsule slowly sank into the sea. As the depth increased, the surrounding light grew dimmer and dimmer. Only the searchlight at the top of the capsule emitted two snow-white beams of light, cutting through the thick darkness. The temperature of the sea water gradually dropped, and a thin layer of ice flowers formed on the outer wall of the detection chamber. From the sonar system came the low wailing of a whale - it was a sperm whale disturbed by dark energy, frantically fleeing from this sea area. When the outline of the Tidal Temple emerged at the end of the light column, Lin Yuan and Sylvia held their breath simultaneously. It was a palace built of milky white crystals. At the top of the spire about a hundred meters high, there was a huge tidal totem inlaid. Blue energy patterns flowed slowly on the totem, like a sleeping heart of the ocean. But this solemnity was soon destroyed - the white walls of the palace were covered with black runes like a spider web. In the gaps between the runes, countless tentacles as thick as an adult's arm were wriggles. The tentacles were covered with suction cups, and the barbs inside the suction cups glinted with a cold green light. With each wriggles, black liquid drips onto the seawater, dyeing the surrounding water a deeper black.
"It's the tentacles of the Deep Sea Nightmare, gnawing at the seal of the temple." " Sylvia's fingers slid rapidly across the control screen of the probe cabin. Silver-blue psychic energy was injected into the control system, and the probe cabin nimbly avoided a tentacle sweeping towards it. The tentacles brushed past the detection chamber, and the suction cups left faint black marks on the chamber walls, making a "sizzling" sound of corrosion. "The main entrance of the temple is sealed with runes," Sylvia pulled up the structural diagram of the temple, frowning. "Ancient books record that the energy of sacred objects like the heart of the Wolf God and the Blood Moon Key is needed to trigger resonance and open the door." But the heart of the Wolf God is with the Tor Clan leader. We are now... Before she could finish her words, she saw Lin Yuan staring at the observation window of the detection cabin, his eyes filled with deep thought.
Lin Yuan's fingertips suddenly touched the alliance totem pendant at his collar - the pendant was made of sacred silver as its bone, with the luminous vines of the rainforest, obsidian from the desert, the psychic crystals of vampires and the fur of the Wolf race embedded inside, representing the crystallization of the psychic powers of all ethnic groups. The core of the sacred object is the "power of alliance", and perhaps it can replace it. Without a moment's hesitation, he stuck the pendant onto the cold observation window. The silver patterns of the pendant burst forth instantly, and a soft yet firm light pierced through the sea, shooting towards the main entrance of the temple like a searchlight. A miracle happened at this moment - the black runes on the door seemed to have encountered a Nemesis and began to siep away, revealing the tidal runes below that perfectly matched the patterns of the pendant. The runes were activated by the light and flowed as if they had come to life. The originally tightly closed crystal door slowly opened to both sides. A pure blue energy gushed out from behind the door, forcing the surrounding black seawater back three feet.
As soon as the detection module entered the temple, the door behind it shut with a "clang", and the entire palace instantly fell silent. The next second, a sharp hissing came from the depths of the palace. The tentacles that had been scattered on the walls suddenly changed direction and shot towards the detection chamber like a torrential rain. "Oh no! It has found us!" Sylvia immediately activated the defense system of the detection cabin. Silver-blue psychic energy gushed out from the launch port on the cabin wall and condensed into a semi-transparent shield. The sound of "bang, bang, bang" rang out intensively. The tentacles smashed onto the shield like siege hammers, causing the shield to shake violently and creating ripples in circles. One of the tentacles was broken by a psychic blast, and thick black liquid gushed out from the fracture, making a "sizzling" sound when it landed on the shield and corroded a small pit in it. "Look ahead!" " Lin Yuan suddenly pointed in the direction of the searchlight. On the high platform in the center of the temple, a crystal pedestal was emitting a soft blue light. That was the place with the purest spiritual energy in the entire palace. "The tears of the Sea God must be up there!" "
Just as the detection cabin approached the high platform, the entire temple suddenly shook violently. The crystal ground cracked into numerous cracks, and black seawater gushed out from the cracks. The seawater beneath the high platform seemed to have been boiled, emitting a large number of black bubbles. A dark shadow that blocked out the sky and the sun slowly rose from the bubbles - that was the essence of the Deep Sea Nightmare! Its body was like a huge mass of ink, constantly deforming in the seawater. Its surface was covered with fiat-sized luminous runes, and the frequency of the runes' flashing was exactly in sync with the alarm sound of the detector. Countless tentacles extended out of its body, with the longest one being dozens of meters long, waving in the air like a python. The suction cup at the end opened, revealing a dense array of barbs, which directly crashed towards the cockpit of the detection cabin.
"Emergency ascent procedure initiated!" " Lin Yuan's fingers were firmly pressed against the red button. The engine of the detection cabin roared sharply, but it only climbed up less than a meter. He looked down and saw that the thruster of the detection cabin was entangled by dozens of tiny tentacles, which were frantically corroding the outer shell of the thruster. "Sylvia, guide the pendant with your psychic power!" Lin Yuan adjusted the light of the pendant to the maximum. A silver halo enveloped the entire detection chamber. "We need a strong enough light shield to block its attack!" " Sylvia immediately closed her eyes. The silver-blue spiritual energy flowed through her fingertips into the energy conduit of the detection chamber, interweaving with the light of the pendant and coalescence into a double-layer light shield in front of the detection chamber. With a loud "boom", the tentacles hit the light shield, causing it to vibrate violently. Cracks appeared on its surface, and it was on the verge of breaking at any moment.
"The thruster is completely entangled, and the power system has failed!" " Sylvia's forehead was oozed with fine cold sweat. The rapid depletion of her psychic energy made her face as pale as paper, and tired blood vessels welled up in her silver-blue pupils. She raised her hand to wipe away the sweat and controlled the psychic cannon to continuously bombard the tentacles entangled with the thrusters, but could only temporarily force them back and could not completely eliminate them. "Lin Yuan, we don't have time." " Sylvia's voice carried an unprecedented solemnness. "The energy of the Deep Sea Nightmare is spreading rapidly. In another ten minutes, the spiritual pollution in this sea area will spread to the Nordic coast. At that time, the creatures on land will also be controlled by it." She looked at Lin Yuan, her eyes determined. "We must get the Tears of the Sea God. This is the only way."
Lin Yuan looked at the increasingly close tentacles. The black SAP on the barbs was clearly visible. Suddenly, the words from his mother's notes flashed through his mind: "Guarding is not about holding on, but seeking hope in the most desperate situation." He made a sudden decision and pulled open the emergency door of the detection cabin. Instantly, icy seawater rushed in. The patterns of the Holy Silver diving suit were activated by the seawater, bursting into a dazzling silver light that illuminated the surrounding seawater. "Stay here and use the psychic cannon to hold it back. Defend the detection cabin!" " Lin Yuan grabbed the emergency oxygen tank and put it over his head. Before Sylvia could stop him, he shot out of the cabin door like an arrow leaving the bowstring. The power of the Wolf God was running wildly within his body. The silver-white Wolf fur faintly emerged under his diving suit, spreading along his arms to his fingertips. The outline of the Wolf's claws glowed with golden light underwater, increasing his speed in the sea water several times over, like a silver bolt of lightning.
Lin Yuan's appearance instantly caught the attention of the Deep Sea Nightmare. Several tentacles immediately turned around and chased after him like venomous snakes. He nimbly twisted his body, weaving through the gaps between his tentacles. His Wolf ears precisely captured the frequency of the tentacle swings, predicting the attack trajectory in advance. A tentacle attacked from the diagonal rear. Lin Yuan suddenly turned around. His golden Wolf claws, armed with spiritual energy, split out. With a "whoosh", the tentacles were neatly cut off, and black liquid splashed out, falling into the sea water and turning into a cloud of ink mist. He accelerated towards the high platform with the help of the recoil force. Along the way, his tentacles were chopped off one by one by him, and his golden spiritual energy left fleeting light marks in the sea water. When he finally rushed to the high platform, he could clearly see the appearance of the Sea God's tears - it was a blue crystal the size of a fist, suspended in the center of the crystal base. The patterns on its surface flowed like waves. The surrounding seawater, due to its purifying power, maintained the purest deep blue, forming a sharp contrast with the surrounding ink.
Lin Yuan was about to reach out and touch the tears of the Sea god when the Deep Sea Nightmare suddenly let out a shrill roar. The sound formed a visible shock wave in the seawater, causing Lin Yuan's eardrums to ache. Countless tentacles came from all directions, weaving into an airtight black net that trapped Lin Yuan and Gao Tai in the center. At this critical moment, the psychic cannon in the detection cabin suddenly emitted a dazzling blue light. A thick energy beam precisely hit the main body of the Deep Sea Nightmare. A large hole was blown out of its black body, and the blue energy raged wildly inside the hole. "Lin Yuan!" Get it quickly! I can't hold on for long!" Sylvia's voice came from the communicator, clearly exhausted. The barrel of the Psychic cannon was already red from overload. "Its main body is injured. Now is the weakest time!"Lin Yuan no longer hesitated. The moment his fingertips touched the tears of the sea god, the blue crystal suddenly burst into dazzling light, like a small sun rising in the deep sea. The cold touch spread along his fingertips, resonating strongly with the power of the Wolf God within him. Golden and blue light interwove within him, spreading along his arms throughout his entire body. "In the name of the guardian of the Wolf race, with the power of the Sea God, purify!" Lin Yuan roared and held the crystal above his head. The two rays of light merged into a huge light blade, which was dozens of meters long. The light blade split a deep blue channel in the sea water and slashed towards the approaching tentacles. With a crisp "sizzle", wherever the light blade passed, the whiskers were instantly purified into white foam, and the black runes melted like ice and snow in the light, completely vanishing.
The Deep Sea Nightmare let out a painful scream. Its huge body kept contracting under the afterglow of the light blade. The originally black body gradually became transparent and eventually turned into a blue light spot, dissipating in the sea water. The black runes on the temple walls also lost their energy support and peeled off like fragments, revealing the original milky white color of the crystals. Lin Yuan seized the opportunity to rush back to the detection chamber. Sylvia immediately pressed the emergency power switch left by Elena. The thrusters of the detection chamber instantly unleashed three times the thrust, breaking free from the shackles of the remaining tentacle and shooting upwards like an arrow leaving the bowstring. When the detection module landed on the deck of the "Silver Moon" with a "bang", Lin Yuan and Sylvia almost collapsed inside the module. Looking through the porthole, the dark water on the sea surface was being purified by the blue light of the sea god's tears, spreading from the center outward and gradually returning to its original deep blue. Seabirds were singing merrily in the sky, as if celebrating this victory.
"Success!" It really worked!" Elena, wearing anti-slip boots, almost slid to the side of the detection cabin. She pulled open the cabin door and held the detector in her hand in front of Lin Yuan. The waveform representing the dark energy on the screen had returned to a stable green. "The energy signal of the Deep Sea Nightmare has completely disappeared. The seal of the Tidal Temple has stabilized again, even more firmly than before!" Her gaze fell on the tears of the Sea God in Lin Yuan's hand, her eyes shining with curiosity. She reached out to touch them but carefully withdrew them. "This crystal is just too magical. It can purify dark energy and resonate with your Wolf God power. It's on par with those sacred objects of the Wolf God Heart." "
Lin Yuan placed the tears of the Sea God on the detection platform of the "Silver Moon". The light of the blue crystal resonated with the alliance badge at his collar. The originally blurry ocean totem on the surface of the badge became clear, like a miniature tidal map. According to ancient records, the tears of the sea God are the sacred objects of the ocean spirits. Back then, the Wolf God only kept them on their behalf. Now that the crisis has been resolved, they should be returned to them. Lin Yuan raised his hand to rub his swollen temples, then turned his head to look at Sylvia who was retrieving the documents of the council. "Are there any records about the habitats of ocean elves in the ancient books of the council?" For example, their appearance, habits, or contact methods?
Sylvia's fingers slid rapidly across the virtual keyboard, and the top-secret documents of the council unfolded on the screen, eventually remaining on a dossier written in ancient vampire documents. "Found it. It's a record left by the first elder of the parliament." " Sylvia's fingertip swept across the screen, and the text on the document was automatically translated into the common language. "The ocean elves live in the 'Coral Sea' of the South Pacific, which is the purest sea area for spirits in the world. There is a city built of living corals." The document suddenly switched to a yellowed illustration, on which a blue star-shaped badge was depicted. The pattern of the badge was exactly the same as that of the Tears of the Sea God. "This is the token of Atlantis, the 'Tidal Star'. Only by holding it can one pass through the illusory array of the Coral Sea and find the habitat of the ocean elves." Sylvia's expression darkened. "The documents later recorded that Valerius' salvage team did indeed find this badge from the ruins of Atlantis back then, but after he was exiled, the badge's whereabouts became unknown." "
Just then, Lin Yuan's communicator suddenly made a "ding-dong" sound, and Green Feather's avatar flickered on the screen. Behind her was a lush rainforest, and the alliance badge on her chest shone with a green light: "Lin Yuan, the 'warning flower' of the rainforest has responded!" " Green Feather turned the camera to the giant flower bud behind him. The originally pink petals had turned deep black. "They detected the dark energy fluctuations of Black Claw near the Coral Sea in the South Pacific, which were consistent with the energy frequency of Valerius before!" Lin Yuan suddenly clenched the tears of the Sea God in his hand. The blue light flowed in his palm, reflecting his determined eyes. "Don't even think about it. Black Claw must be looking for the ocean elves as well." " He put away the crystal and turned to walk towards the cockpit of the "Silver Moon". "They can't find the Tidal star, so they want to seize the Tears of the Sea God, use them to force their way into the Coral Sea, and perhaps even use them to awaken the Deep Sea Nightmare again." We must get ahead of them and find the ocean elves."
The engine of the "Silver Moon" roared again, turned its course and headed towards the South Pacific. Lin Yuan stood by the side of the ship. The sea breeze caressed his hair, dispelling some of the fatigue from the past few days. On the eastern sea surface, the sun was slowly rising. Its golden rays spread over the sea, making it sparkle. The blue light of the sea god's tears seeped through his pocket, interweaving with the sun's rays, warm and resolute. He lowered his head to look at the alliance badge at the collar. The totems of each ethnic group on the badge were all glimmering faintly, as if telling of the power of the alliance. Lin Yuan's lips curled up into a smile. He knew that new challenges were already awaiting him in the Coral Sea, but this time, he was no longer alone - Sylvia's composure, Elena's wisdom, Shaya's bravery, Green Feather's acuity, and the support of the various ethnic alliances were all his most solid backing. As long as the belief of protection remains unextinguished, there is no darkness that cannot be overcome.
