Although Pétain can sense the location of the clone, he cannot share memories and perspectives with it. If he wants to determine what happened to the clone, he can only go and recover the vague memory fragments left behind by the clone.
The next moment, Petain's figure flashed and turned into a blood dragon with a faint dark shadow on the edge. It plunged into the sea at a speed several times that of Petain's clone.
The whole journey took less than two or three seconds, and Petain had crossed a distance of thousands of meters and appeared hundreds of meters below the sea surface, in the ruins of the battle between Yihua and Petain's clone half an hour ago.
Without paying too much attention to the dilapidated underwater reefs around him, Petain made a move with his palm, and strands of scarlet threads appeared out of thin air in the surrounding seawater, quickly gathering towards his palm.
At this time, Petain also slowly closed his eyes, feeling the remaining will of the dissipated blood shadow clone in his hand.
The blood shadow clone has no soul, so it cannot save too many memories. In addition, it was severely damaged, and the few remaining residues cannot provide complete memory fragments at all. It can only leave some will and emotions when it died.
What caught Petain's eyes was the last sight he saw before the blood shadow clone dissipated - four dark green spears pointed directly at the door, and Yihua's cold face not far away.
At this moment, the strongest thought left by the blood shadow clone before his death was also introduced into Petain's mind -
it was the extreme unwillingness and disbelief at his own defeat.
Feeling such a strong emotion, the affected Petain suddenly opened his bloodshot scarlet eyes, snorted coldly, and said in a cold tone: "Sure enough, it was
that guy who killed the blood shadow clone!"
After confirming this, One point, what follows is Yihua's terrifying strength improvement speed.
Judging from the traces of destruction remaining on the reefs in the surrounding waters, as well as the power generated by the four dark green spears of death pointed directly at the face before the blood shadow clone dissipated.
Yihua's current strength has far exceeded the level of the fourth-class apprentice who killed Melkor during the apprenticeship exam.
Being able to kill Yihua, who had 10% of Petain's own strength, even barely reached the level of a fifth-level wizard apprentice who had just entered the fifth level and had not yet learned the witchcraft of that level!
"Could it all be due to the opportunities that guy got?"
In Petain's view, Yihua, in just four months or so, went from an ordinary first-class apprentice with the lowest qualifications to a barely qualified apprentice. A fifth-level powerful wizard apprentice must have benefited from the opportunity he got from nowhere.
Petain, who was once known as a genius and had fourth-level qualifications, has now become a fifth-level blood warlock, and it took him nearly a hundred years!
In the future, it is far away to be promoted to an official wizard. If there is no opportunity, I may have to stop here for the rest of my life.
What level of opportunity can allow a useless first-class apprentice with no hope of promotion to the fifth class and only a mere first-class qualification to be promoted to the third-class Necromancer Apprentice in less than three months and display his talents? The combat power of a fourth-class apprentice.
In another month, we will be able to kill the blood shadow clone that has 10% of the strength of Petain's body and has barely reached the fifth level?
I'm afraid even the legendary genius with 100% energy affinity and surpassing fifth-level qualifications can't do this, right?
As Petain's thoughts raced, his boundless fear and fear of Yi Hua gradually arose in his heart.
In just four months, he could transform from an ordinary first-class apprentice to a monster capable of killing the blood shadow clones of weak fifth-class apprentices.
If it continues to grow, what will happen?
I'm afraid it won't take more than a year for the other party to become a fifth-level wizard apprentice equal to him.
As for Yihua's future achievements, he couldn't even imagine it!
By then, with all the hatred between him and Yihua, the other party will definitely take the initiative to search for his whereabouts.
Once his traces are exposed and he is targeted by the future Yihua, will the other party leave him any room to survive?
Realizing this, Pétain's face changed drastically, and he immediately turned into a blood dragon and rushed out of the water. At the same time, he cursed in his heart:
"Damn it! We can't let this monster continue to grow! We must intercept him before he reaches the mainland! Even if we pay a high price, we must eradicate him completely!"
Almost instantly, Petain's figure returned from the blood dragon to his human form. At the same time, he observed the surroundings and began to determine the direction.
Now that he has lost the blood shadow clone lurking in the fleet to locate the fleet's position, Pétain's attempt to search for the shadow of the Nine-ring White Tower fleet in this treacherous and ever-changing stormy sea is tantamount to finding a needle in a haystack.
But Pétain was not helpless.
Although the route from the Nine Rings White Tower Branch to the mainland is highly confidential, Pétain has been lurking in this branch for decades and is already familiar with several major routes from the Nine Rings White Tower Branch to the mainland.
In Pétain's view, as long as the fleet wanted to reach the mainland safely, it must choose one of these routes to pass through.
As long as a large number of blood shadow clones are separated and a carpet search is carried out along several routes, with the speed of the fifth-level apprentice level, there is still a high probability that traces of the fleet can be found.
At that time, if it is the main body that finds the fleet, then take the initiative to capture Yi Hua and destroy the fleet together.
If the person who finds the fleet is a clone, then hide the trace until the main body meets up with it.
After a while, after Petain determined the location, he immediately separated five blood shadow clones, scattered together with himself, and started searching for the six most likely routes chosen by the Nine-ring White Tower fleet.
Three days later, while traveling at high speed at an altitude of 1,000 meters, Petain's body, which was constantly observing the sea below, felt that the blood shadow clone that had been separated suddenly broke off, and his face suddenly sank.
But he didn't think that this clone was killed by Yihua like the previous one. The blood shadow clone he had separated earlier had a long stalemate with Yi Hua, and finally dissipated because of exhaustion of power.
Now this clone couldn't even react before dissipating.
No matter how fast Yi Hua's strength improves, it is impossible for him to go from being slightly better than the blood shadow clone to the level of killing the blood shadow clone instantly in just one day.
Moreover, he had warned his clone in advance that if it encounters a fleet, it will immediately send a signal to the main body and secretly follow it until the main body meets up.
Obviously, during the search process, this clone was suddenly threatened by a terrifying threat from a fifth-level top or even a formal wizard, and it suddenly dissipated before the signal could be transmitted.
Although Pétain was a little annoyed about this, he did not show too much surprise.
After all, the route from the Nine Ring White Tower to the mainland is only relatively safe, not absolutely safe.
Another four days have passed, and Pétain still has not found the shadow of the fleet. Three of the five clones that were separated have also disappeared due to accidents.
Just when Petain was about to feel that his search was hopeless, on the sea surface tens of thousands of meters away from Petain's body, two shadows made of steel and very similar to the Nine-ring White Tower wizard ship appeared vaguely.
"That's that? Could it be that..."
Pétain suspected that he had seen it wrong for the first time, but as the distance gradually approached, the outlines of the two ships in the distance not only did not disappear, but gradually became clearer.
When the distance approached about 10,000 meters, the flags on the masts of two ships on the distant sea also caught Pétain's eyes.
The moment he saw the familiar flag, Petain's eyes lit up -
because the flags hanging on the masts of those two ships were the flags of the Nine-ringed White Tower!
"Unexpectedly, as time passed, the Nine Rings White Tower Fleet chose the very route that my body was tracking!"
After many days, Petain finally discovered the whereabouts of the Nine Rings White Tower Fleet, and ripples suddenly appeared in his heart.
Without much hesitation, he immediately flew at full speed towards the location of the two nine-ring white tower wizard ships ten thousand meters away on the sea.
When the distance approached several thousand meters, Pétain began to slow down after seeing clearly that the two ships were somewhat damaged and that there was no one on the deck.
"There seems to be something wrong. I remember that this sea area seems to be the Zelato sea area marked as 'safe' by the Nine Rings White Tower. Why did the Nine Rings White Tower fleet leave two somewhat damaged empty ships here?" Ben planned
. Petain, who was approaching for inspection, realized that there was something fishy about the matter. He frowned immediately, but rolled his eyes and finally chose to create a blood shadow clone again and step forward to inspect on his behalf.
Pétain's body quickly climbed up, finally stopping at a height of a thousand meters above the two ships.
Just when the blood shadow clone was about to land on the deck of one of the wizard ships and start searching for the two wizard ships left behind by the Nine-ring White Tower fleet, a sudden sense of threat suddenly appeared from below the two wizard ships. Rising from under the sea.
"No! There is something wrong in the water below the two ships!"
Feeling the sudden murderous intent, Petain's pupils shrank from a thousand meters above the ground and immediately ordered the blood shadow clone to climb rapidly.
Roar!
The next moment, just as the blood shadow clone climbed a hundred meters above the two broken wizard ships, a roar that shook the world instantly spread throughout the sea area, setting off waves several meters high in the surrounding sea.
Bang bang!
Two terrifying sharp claws carrying huge waves tens of meters high suddenly appeared from under the sea, and they photographed two broken wizard ships on the sea surface.
Since they had long lost the protection of the energy shield, facing this massive blow, the two broken wizard ships failed to make the slightest resistance. They fell apart like building blocks and turned into a large number of fragments and sank to the bottom of the sea.
After doing all this, a huge sea beast with a body length of twenty to thirty meters slowly emerged from the water. Its cold blue eyes went straight past the blood shadow clone that climbed high in the air and locked on Petain's body.
Immediately, this huge sea beast, which exuded an energy that was somewhat stronger than the fifth-level blood shadow clone, suddenly roared at Petain.
Its mouth was big enough to swallow a small boat, and it spat out a torrent of astonishing power that was as fast as a cannonball at Petain, who was thousands of meters in the air.
Petain caught a glimpse of the huge sea beast actively attacking him on the sea below, and a cold murderous intent flashed in his eyes.
