I Became the Progenitor Vampire

Chapter 423: Chapter 425: The Bubble-Blowing Crab, Exploring the Shattered Plane

The flight speed of the Elf Unicorns was not considered slow; at the very least, they could reach 400 kilometers per Sunshine Hour, comparable to that of Dawn Bats of the same Level.

Especially since these Demon Beasts favored by Elves could also cast Wind Magic, which greatly accelerated their flight speed.

This adventurer team led by Lide flew south from Green City, and to the south of Green City lay the Lost Sea, where the Fishman Tribe was located.

Indeed, that Divine relic was not located on land, but in the sea.

Lide also found it quite peculiar when he heard about it.

It wasn’t strange that the Divine relic was in the sea, but it was strange how the Elves seemingly ran off to the sea out of the blue and found the relic.

But Ariel’s answer was even more metaphysical—a revered elder amongst the Elvis Elves, who had awakened a mystical Talent, sensed a pulse that made her heart flutter, so she set off to explore the oversea…

The conversation about this Talent ended there, as such matters of Talent were simply beyond discussion.

In the Main Plane of Glory, each race had its unique abilities, and the Elves’ exceptional intuition was not an empty phrase; awakening any kind of Talent seemed not at all surprising for these favored children of nature.

During the flight, the atmosphere was rather quiet. Lide did not speak, and neither did the few Elves.

The Red-eyed Lady clad in a black cloak was even more reticent, as for Andabella and Betty at the end, both were of the sort who were tough but spoke little.

The wind roared past their ears as the Elf Unicorns spread their wings to fly.

Looking down from the sky, vast expanses of withered yellow were starting to appear on the ground.

The footsteps of the Frost Month were drawing increasingly near.

Feeling all this, Lide couldn’t help but sense a growing urgency in his heart.

He hoped everything would go smoothly this time, that he would gain enough Divine Stones to fully control the powers of Blood Control and the Bloodline… But he always felt some unease in his heart, as this journey didn’t seem like it would be easy.

After a full three Sunshine Hours of full-speed flying, the Elf Unicorns finally reached the airspace above the Lost Coast.

Each glance at the ocean from the sky gave Lide a distinct impression.

The azure water appeared like a swath of blue satin, slightly curling before spreading out at the ends of the earth and sky.

The sea breeze, carrying the scent of salt, brushed against the face, evoking images of waves slapping against rocks and fish swimming leisurely in water.

This was, in fact, Lide’s second visit to the sea. The last time was several years ago when the rise of the Undead Empire disrupted the routes for obtaining Magic Materials from the Crimson Mage Tower, and under pressure, he had to find new channels for material acquisition, thus setting his sights on the Fishman Tribe.

At that time, he even fought a battle against the Blue Star Fishman Tribe, with the scene of tens of thousands of deep-sea creatures spread across the sea’s surface still lingering in his memory.

However, it was after that war that Dawn City began to tread the path of rapid development.

Thinking of this, Lide suddenly remembered exchanging a mixed-blood Mermaid with part of the Golden Bloodline for a tentacled creature of the Blue Star Tribe.

And the system’s description of that Mermaid, who was human by day and Mermaid by night, haunted him—a secret hidden within her, capable of changing the fate of the Main Plane of Glory.

Yet over the years, that Mermaid had been under constant surveillance in Dawn City, and no significant secret had been uncovered so far.

Putting these thoughts aside, Lide returned to the present, thinking that he might see that Mermaid again upon his return; perhaps she was connected to the impending great calamity—the Ancients’ arrival.

An event that could utterly transform the landscape of the Main Plane of Glory seemed to be the only one fitting the bill.

“Lord, we need to continue flying for another two Sunshine Hours…” Ariel reported to Lide after confirming her bearings above the coast.

“Lead the way,” Lide instructed.

“Yes.”

Upon receiving the order, Ariel gently stroked the mane of the Elf Unicorn, which immediately lifted its wings and sped off in another direction.

The others quickly followed suit.

Entering the open sea, the coastline swiftly vanished behind them.

Looking down, a carpet of tiny islands and reefs dotted beneath them grew fewer the farther they veered from the shore.

Unbeknownst to Lide, who was in the lead, Betty and Andabella behind him had been closely watching his back the entire way.
