Versatile Mage: Hell Starts, but the Shadow King

Chapter 111: Mu Ningxue's dependence on Cheng Xiao, the birth of the shadow evil maggot!

"Drowning curse?"

After listening to this, Cheng Xiao was thoughtful and almost forgot about it.

The so-called drowning curse is nothing more than a strange phenomenon caused by a creature called "evil maggot".

Maggots in the larval stage can easily be eaten into the stomach. Once in the stomach, they will begin to absorb life nutrients.

After the evil maggots have drained the life nutrients from the human being, they will control the absorbed human being to walk towards the sea, and then break away from the human being.

In the eyes of outsiders, this became a strange phenomenon in which a normal person's body was instantly hollowed out after coming into contact with sea water.

In fact, that person had already become a walking corpse and was replaced by evil maggots.

Of course, maggots don’t just live in humans.

In the original novel, there was a monarch-level siren that was replaced by a vicious maggot!
This creature is so weak that it can be easily crushed to death, but once it grows up, it is extremely terrifying!
The most terrifying thing about maggots is that they can devour the nutrients of the host organisms and inherit the abilities of the host organisms.

After the Wu Hai fake dragon in the original novel was replaced by the evil maggot, the evil maggot inherited everything from the Wu Hai fake dragon.

It has wisdom, strength, magic, and even pseudo-dragon breath!

When Cheng Xiao thought of this, an idea naturally came to his mind.

It is no exaggeration to say that the evil maggots can grow infinitely, if such ability can be used for their own benefit.
"The tide will not rise until tomorrow, so let's go and take a look now," said Cheng Xiao.

"Yeah." Mu Ningxue nodded.

She came to talk to Cheng Xiao alone about this matter because she knew that Cheng Xiao was a special pharmacist.

The strange incident of the drowning curse does not only occur in the Japanese Sea Battle City, but there are more or less rumors of the drowning curse in coastal cities all over the world.

If Cheng Xiao can solve this strange incident, more innocent people can be saved from drowning curse.
..............................

Cheng Xiao and Mu Ningxue came to the shallows of the low embankment.

"I've inquired and the probability of the drowning curse occurring is not particularly high. If we wait here, there may be no results even if we wait until tomorrow," said Mu Ningxue.

"There is no point in checking the bodies of those who died from the drowning curse. If there were any clues, the masters in the medical field would have solved it long ago." Cheng Xiao said.

Mu Ningxue said "Oh" weakly.

For some reason, ever since the exchange student from the university came into contact with Cheng Xiao again, she always subconsciously thought that Cheng Xiao could do anything.

Even something like the drowning curse can be solved by finding clues.

After thinking about it carefully, she realized that she was too fanciful. No matter how special Cheng Xiao was, he had his limits.

However, with Cheng Xiao by her side, she would always subconsciously rely on him, and this feeling made her feel at ease.
Mu Ningxue looked at Cheng Xiao's profile, and her icy beautiful eyes began to wander.

"Stop him quickly!!!" The nearby soldiers suddenly shouted and hurriedly chased after him.

The person chasing was a middle-aged man with his hair combed backwards, who rushed towards the ocean on the shallow beach like a madman.

At the critical moment, Cheng Xiao used telekinesis - virtual claws, to grab and control the middle-aged man through the air.

"It seems we are lucky." Cheng Xiao said with a smile.

Mu Ningxue had a strange expression when she heard this.

That's true, but it doesn't seem right to put it here, right?

Among the soldiers from the Sea Battle City, one of the older soldiers stood up to express his gratitude:
"Thank you, Master Mage, for your help."

"You're welcome. I'm a pharmacist and I came here specifically to investigate the drowning curse incident." Cheng Xiao said.

The older soldier was stunned and couldn't help but say:
"Even the masters of the Japanese medical field have not been able to solve this problem together. You are so young..." Facing his doubts, Mu Ningxue said coldly:
"Just guard the Aiti well and don't let anyone cursed by the Drowning enter the shallow sea."

The older soldier remained silent and just stood there quietly.

If Cheng Xiao fails, then the middle-aged man under the drowning curse will be theirs.
Cheng Xiao ignored the Japanese soldier's questions and looked at the middle-aged man.

"Water! Water! Water! I want water!" The middle-aged man shouted like a madman, staring towards the ocean with wide eyes.

Cheng Xiao's deep and dark eyes revealed a strange light in his soul.

In an instant, the middle-aged man became quiet and his eyes became dull and numb.

Maggots are essentially parasitic monsters that can leave the host's body at any time, but they must be in a place with water.

Without water as nutrients, the maggots will die immediately. This is their most fatal and vulnerable point.

Therefore, Cheng Xiao was not afraid that the evil maggots would seek death on their own initiative.

The evil maggots in the middle-aged man's body have apparently grown to the point where they can exert mental control.

This is the biggest breakthrough!
Cheng Xiao used his mind to capture the soul, and the soul he captured was the soul of the evil maggot!

The evil maggots devoured all the vitality of the middle-aged man, but the middle-aged man was just an ordinary magician and did not even have the energy to advance the evil maggots to the servant level.

At this level, Cheng Xiao only needs to release a trace of mental magic to control it. If there is a little more energy, the evil maggots will be stuffed to death!
"Return all the energy you swallowed." Cheng Xiao ordered the evil maggot.

Then, Cheng Xiao took out a bottle of light red potion and poured it directly into the middle-aged man's mouth.

"Wait! What are you doing?!" the older soldier yelled.

Once the drowned person touches water, he will most likely die instantly.

This is common sense about the Drowning Curse, how come this pharmacist doesn't even know common sense? !

Damn it, if I had known I wouldn't have let this inexplicably appearing pharmacist mess around. The older soldier just thought so when he saw an incredible scene.

The middle-aged man who was poured with the potion did not die like the drowned who touched the ocean water.

On the contrary, the middle-aged man's horrible symptoms gradually eased and returned to normal, and his pale face regained color.
The evil maggots returned the energy to the middle-aged man's body, but the internal organs and tissues in his body could not be restored.

The potion that Cheng Xiao gave was to reshape the internal organs of the middle-aged man.

Together with the energy returned by the evil maggots, the middle-aged man's life was saved!

After confirming that the middle-aged man was not in danger of life and the maggots returned to their original state.

Cheng Xiao mercilessly killed the evil maggots in the middle-aged man's body!
The evil maggot has been marked in the mind by Cheng Xiao and cannot escape capture.

The dead maggots are like eggs and will be slowly digested, so the middle-aged man doesn't have to worry about anything afterwards.

Cheng Xiao extracted the shadow of the evil maggot, slowly stood up and said:

"It's okay, you can go now."

The middle-aged man looked frightened, but after Cheng Xiao comforted him, everything returned to normal.

"Thank you, thank you Master Mage for saving my life." The middle-aged man thanked Cheng Xiao again and again.

"To ensure your safety, we need you to go with us to the Magic Association Hospital for a checkup," the soldier said to the middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man is fine now.

But the basic safety inspection process still cannot be skipped, and I followed the Japanese soldiers to the Magic Association Hospital.
