Chapter 52: Chapter 52: The Fishy Swirl Discovery
The Fishy Swirl.
According to historical records, this phenomenon had appeared many times long before the Great Catastrophe.
Whenever the Fishy Swirl manifested, it was accompanied by various anomalous phenomena.
According to Master Lai, the Fishy Swirl was also the only known way to enter the ecological center of Mana.
For this reason, Bai Yuekui's team had been closely monitoring the Fishy Swirl's condition since its establishment.
At this moment, the Fishy Swirl was standing in the middle of an abandoned city.
Massive amounts of scarlet energy swirled and rotated in the air, forming a tornado-like column that stretched from the ground to the sky.
An enormous number of Pole Devourers had gathered around the Fishy Swirl.
There were even several Overlord class specimens among them!
"Is that the Fishy Swirl?"
Victor expanded his spiritual consciousness, enveloping the phenomenon in his awareness.
However, other than sensing vast amounts of life essence emanating from within the vortex, he made no further discoveries.
Is this Fishy Swirl really the gateway to the Mana Ecology Center?
Perhaps because he was a human and not a Pole Devourer, the mana ecology didn't recognize him, so he couldn't perceive the spiritual power of mana.
Of course, it could also be that his current strength was simply too weak.
"How is it? Spectacular, isn't it?"
Xia Dou held a telescope and carefully observed the Fishy Swirl while muttering to herself.
"When I first saw the Fishy Swirl, I was stunned for quite a while."
"Spectacular? I suppose so."
Victor had seen far more impressive sights than this.
"But there are certainly a lot of Pole Devourers here."
Looking at the densely packed creatures, swarming like ants emerging from a disturbed nest, Victor couldn't help but smile.
In his eyes, they were all walking abstract dots!
"Wait for me here. I'll be back soon."
With this declaration, Victor jumped into the air and rushed towards the Fishy Swirl.
Xia Dou and the others were shocked when they saw this.
Xu Tong immediately asked, "Boss, what is Mr. Victor planning to do?"
The corner of Bai Yuekui's mouth lifted slightly, revealing an almost imperceptible smile.
"Farming gold coins."
"Huh?"
Everyone looked confused.
Farming coins?
Could Pole Devourers actually drop things like that?
How come they didn't know?
BOOM!
Victor's speed was incredible, breaking the sound barrier and flying several thousand meters in the blink of an eye before crashing into the center of the Pole Devourer horde like a human cannonball!
A thunderous crash erupted, and hundreds of Pole Devourers in the surrounding area were blown away along with clouds of dust.
The other creatures noticed the commotion and turned their attention in his direction.
After the dust settled, Victor emerged from the crater.
Seeing that it was a human, the surrounding beasts all wore fierce and bloodthirsty expressions.
Victor raised his hand and waved provocatively at the Pole Devourers in front of him, "Come here!
Damn it, how can this be tolerated?
An Overlord-class Pole Devourer, as massive as a mountain, roared toward the sky.
The surrounding creatures seemed to have received a command and rushed toward Victor in a frenzy.
In response, Victor slowly drew the Mystic Ice Sword, raised it above his head, and brought it down.
The next second, all of the Pole Devourers knelt on the ground, slid forward to Victor's position, raised their claws high, and assumed the position of catching a blade with their bare hands.
Being in animal form, they looked as ridiculous as possible.
At least Xia Dou couldn't help but laugh, "What are they doing? This is too funny!"
Suixing and the others were also stunned, unable to understand what these pole devourers were trying to do.
It seemed that the group of creatures that had chased them last time had done the same thing before dying, suddenly running over to catch blades with their bare claws.
[Ding! Your actions were too abstract, you have gained 79,588 Abstract Points!]
Nearly 80,000 Abstract Points have been instantly credited!
Not bad!
Hearing the message in his mind, Victor's smile almost reached his ears.
However, this expression seemed inexplicably terrifying to the Pole Devourers.
Then Victor activated his second abstract ability, Chrysanthemum Wither!
Feeling the tearing sensation in their buttocks, the originally ferocious-looking beasts all showed pained and uncomfortable expressions.
Oh no!
There's a bastard here!
Someone actually took the opportunity to stab us from behind!
Because they were being violently controlled, the pole devourers couldn't turn around.
They all assumed that their companions behind them were taking advantage of their helpless state.
[Ding! Your actions were too abstract, you have gained 79,588 Abstract Points!]
Nearly 80,000 Abstract Points have been credited again!
Wonderful!
But that was clearly not the end.
Victor spoke in a calm but slightly teasing tone, "Are you here to take a dump?"
The words were like a devil's whisper, reaching the ears of the Pole Devourers.
In an instant, their already compromised rear ends began to spew waste uncontrollably.
The creatures at the back suffered miserably, getting sprayed in the face by those in front of them.
Watching this scene from afar, Xia Dou once again burst out laughing.
This time, even Suixing and the others couldn't help but laugh.
Only Bai Yuekui kept a blank expression.
However, one could tell from her flushed face that she was barely holding back her amusement.
[Ding! Your actions were too abstract, you have gained 79,588 abstract points!]
The message made Victor's smile even wider.
I made a fortune today!
He was about to continue, but he discovered that these Pole Devourers didn't seem to have the anatomy required for his fourth ability, so he had to abandon that plan.
Taking advantage of the last second of his control duration, Victor eliminated all the Pole Devourers with a single sword stroke.
After completing this task, he returned to Bai Yuekui and the others.
"How much did you farm?"
Looking at the unstoppable smile on Victor's face, Bai Yuekui knew that this guy had profited significantly today.
Victor grinned. "Not much, not much, only about 240,000!"
Bai Yuekui rolled his eyes.
240,000 isn't much?
"Are we going back?" Bai Yuekui asked further.
Victor shook his head.
"No, didn't we promise Mark that we would visit the Lighthouse? Let's go to the lighthouse now!"
"Do you really want to go?"
Like Mark, Bai Yuekui had assumed that Victor's previous remarks were just a polite way of saying no.
This guy was actually serious!
"Of course it's true!" Victor said seriously. "I'm a very honest person, I always keep my word!"
"Do you want to come with me?"
Xia Dou and the others didn't answer right away, but looked at Bai Yuekui instead.
Their meaning was obvious.
Bai Yuekui thought for a moment before saying, "I will accompany you. As for the rest of you..."
She turned to her teammates, "You should return first.
The lighthouse was a complex and potentially dangerous place, it would be better not to take them there, lest they run into trouble.
Of course, Xia Dou and the others had no objections to this decision.
After all, they had no desire to visit that flying device anyway.
After that, Victor took Bai Yuekui and left on his flying sword.
Xia Dou and the others started to head back to Dragonbone Village.
If this had been in the past, Bai Yuekui would not have dared to let them separate from her.
But now, things were different.
With their current strength, Xia Dou and the others could easily escape as long as they didn't encounter any King-level beasts.
