This Lich Needs More Money Chapter 460

Chapter 460 Can I trust you?

Amber Xiu didn't know how the Lane people escaped from it in the first place, but now he only knew that it was not easy to get through from the bottom of the sea.

Even if you dive into the depths of the sea and escape the terrifying thunder above, there are still countless whirlpools on the bottom of the sea, and these weird currents cut the bottom of the sea into pieces, like a maze.

Either pass through this maze-like seabed rock formation, or rush directly into the whirlpool above to see if the force of the water flow is stronger or if your own body bones are stronger.

This is definitely not a normal natural environment. It is either the work of gods or created by some evil legendary mage using world weaving technology.

Amber Xiu had already seen the golden desert, so he was not surprised. In that era when magic was prosperous, the abuse of magic was very common. Floating cities overlooked the world, and the mages thought they had touched the realm of the gods. In the end, the entire magical civilization was reduced to ashes with a bang.

Amberxiu looked around, then turned to look behind him.

Beside Amberxiu, Ariel was suspended in the sea, looking at everything in front of her curiously.

After being blessed with underwater breathing, Ariel can also stay underwater for a long time.

At this time, she had put on close-fitting underwater light armor, and she was even more beautiful than a mermaid.

This is an underwater combat armor specially built by the Kingdom of Rage. It is made of special sea animal skin and can only be owned by senior generals.

"Actually, you don't have to follow me." Amberxiu said to Ariel, waving his fingers.

It is not easy to communicate under the sea. Non-marine races cannot make stable sounds in the sea. Amber Xiu can only use some auxiliary spells to achieve this effect.

It's a pity that Ariel is not an undead, so she can't communicate through soul connection, so she can only communicate through sign language and voice transmission.

When Amberxiu ventured into the sea, even Heggie Stone didn't want to follow him, but Ariel did. Amber Xiu didn't know what she was thinking. Couldn't he just wait on the boat?

Ariel opened her mouth and blew out bubbles. She found that she could not make a stable voice like Amber Xiu, so she could only respond in sign language: "Actually, I have been curious since I was a child, what is in this sea area."

This is a lie, Amber Xiu can feel it without using the power of prophecy.

Amberxiu could only say to Ariel: "Your Highness, if you can't be honest, then I'd better advise you to go back."

Seeing that the lie was exposed, Ariel could only say: "I can't let you take risks alone. This is related to the future of the Kingdom of Rage."

If possible, Ariel really wanted to take Amber Xiu back.

Even though she knew that Amberxiu was a lich, Ariel was still afraid that he would be in danger in this strange sea.

If this is the case, then the future of the Kingdom of Rage is over.

Now the Kingdom of Rage can do without her as a princess, but it must not give up the alchemy factory project.

Even if Amberxiu is a lich, he can theoretically be reborn after death, but Ariel doesn't dare to bet that if this is a secret realm left by a certain god, what will be in it that can directly kill the lich?

Even though she knew it was irrational, Ariel still decided to follow.

Ariel is not completely joking with her own life. She has the artifact given by Talos and should be able to save her life in critical moments.

It is precisely because she is sure that Ariel takes the risk with Amber Xiu.

Amber Xiu really had no choice but to let her follow.

"I'm going to go inside this underwater maze. The whirlpools above are too scary to pass through easily."

Ariel also agreed with Ambrose's idea. If you break into the whirlpool, you will soon be thrown away by the current and be dizzy. You will not be able to control the direction, let alone enter it.

However, this underwater maze may not be easy to break into. Over the years, I don't know how many dangerous marine creatures have been hiding in it.

Ariel picked up the hammer at her waist and said to Amber Xiu: "I'll go first, you follow me!"

"ah?"

Amber Xiu has never had the privilege of being helped to clear the way for him a few times in his life.

When he was an adventurer, Amber Xiu was a prophecy mage, and he was often the first to sense crises with premonitions. Later, he stopped being an adventurer. Without his teammates, Amberxiu had to rely on himself.

Ariel actually stood in front of him to clear the way for him. This treatment really touched Amber Xiu.

However, this kind of thing is not necessary.

Amber Xiu waved his hand, and dozens of finger-sized "miscellaneous fish" flew out of his personal space and formed an array in front of the two of them.

"Your Highness Princess, have you forgotten that I am a lich? How can a lich lack cannon fodder to explore the way?"

Ariel's face turned red. She had really forgotten about this. She only thought about protecting Amber Xiu's safety. She completely forgot about his identity and had to retreat to Amber Xiu's side.

Amber Xiu directed the undead to open a path and began to enter this strange underwater maze. The submarine rocks that make up the labyrinth have been polished by ocean currents for countless years. These rocks are very smooth and also very hard in texture.

Amberxiu tested it and found that ordinary spells can only leave traces and cannot be directly destroyed.

As the two went deeper into the maze, they thought they would encounter many dangers, but to their surprise, the undead fish who opened the way were not attacked at all.

This maze is not without life, but it is afraid of Amberxiu and Ariel.

These undersea creatures are all avoiding them. Occasionally, they will be captured by miscellaneous fish, but they run very fast and cannot catch up.

Amberxiu asked Ariel doubtfully, "That's strange. Didn't you say it's very dangerous here?"

Ariel shook her head and replied helplessly: "I'm not sure. This is my first time entering the Thunder Sea. Maybe they can sense our power?"

After all, they are two legends, so it is not surprising that they can scare away these undersea creatures.

But Amber Xiu still felt that it was abnormal, because the intelligence of marine creatures is not too high. The harsher the environment, the stronger and more aggressive the creatures living in this area should be, which is in line with the laws of nature.

When this kind of creature encounters an intruder that it has never seen before, it must take a bite to taste it instead of running away directly.

"Your Highness, I think something is wrong. Let's wait here."

Amberxiu stopped and controlled the cannon fodder to continue deep into the underwater maze and move forward.

As the distance between the two grew larger, these cannon fodder finally came under attack.

In the darkness, two thick tentacles shot out, and immediately caught the two trash fish cannon fodder, and then quickly returned to the darkness.

A low roar came from the darkness, as if the sea beast that took action swallowed the two undead and was poisoned.

The rumbling and loud noises continued. This sea beast was probably very large. The poison only made it uncomfortable, not fatal.

Amberxiu carefully sensed the other party's movements from a long distance away. Only when the sea bottom fell into calm again did he say to Ariel: "It seems that the problem lies with the two of us."

Ariel asked confused, "What's the problem?"

"My undead troops will be attacked by sea beasts, but the two of us will not. Therefore, there must be something in us that makes these sea beasts afraid, and it is definitely not the sea beasts that can sense the power of the two of us."

Although both of them are legends, Amberxiu has been very careful to contain the dark magic power, and Ariel is also very cautious and has not exposed any aura. It is impossible for these sea beasts to know that the two of them are not easy to mess with from such a long distance.

So there must be something about the two of them that makes these sea beasts afraid.

"Although I don't know what you are referring to, this should be a good thing, right? Why would you say this is a problem?"

Ariel felt that she couldn't keep up with Amberxiu's thinking, and Ariel had a strange sense of déjà vu. Have you seen this kind of situation somewhere?

Amberxiu explained: "We have never been to this place, and these sea beasts have never seen us, so what are they afraid of? If we can find this key, maybe we can understand this sea area better. I have a hunch , we will have extraordinary gains from this adventure.”

Amberxiu's confidence made Ariel's sense of déjà vu even stronger, but she knew that now was not the time to consider this issue, so she could only humbly ask for advice: "Then how to find it? Throw out the things on your body one by one and try ?”

Amberxiu shook his head and said: "Don't be so troublesome. Things that can affect these terrible monsters will definitely not be ordinary goods. Your Highness, the hammer in your hand is an artifact given by Talos, right? I guess, maybe this is it. It's easy to verify that something is affecting those sea beasts. Let's separate and let me go deep into the labyrinth alone and see if those sea beasts will attack me.”

"No!" Ariel refused decisively.

"We already have the amulet, although we don't know what it is, so why take the risk?"

Ariel didn't understand, she just wanted to ensure Amberxiu's safety.

Amberxiu insisted: "Your Highness Princess, you are also someone who has been on the battlefield. Would you use a weapon that you don't understand at all to deal with the enemy? Even if you know that this weapon is very powerful. Now we can still scare away these sea beasts, But what if they go deeper and encounter more powerful monsters? They may not be scared away.

"If the opponent chooses to attack, we can't just know what the sea beast is afraid of, right? We obviously have a trump card that can restrain the opponent, but we can't use it at the critical moment. Isn't that too dangerous?"

Amber Xiu's words seemed to make sense. Ariel thought about it for a long time and couldn't think of any way to refute it, but she still insisted: "You must not take risks. Just exit the maze first and let me test it."

Amber Xiu was speechless. Fortunately, he thought Ariel had grown up before, but in the end he was still as stubborn as before.

Amberxiu had no choice but to say to Ariel: "This is the first time I've seen someone take risks for the Lich. If you don't believe it, just take this."

Amberxiu handed a small silver-white box to Ariel.

After Ariel took it, she asked doubtfully: "What is this?"

Amberxiu said very seriously: "This is the lich's phylactery. Once my body dies, I will be reborn here. I leave my life to you for safekeeping. Your Highness, can I trust you?"
