Versatile Mage: Unlimited Swordplay, Deconstructing Everything!
Chapter 121 Is this how the power of heaven is used?
Chapter 121 Is this how the power of heaven is used?
"Wow, what a huge skeleton! It would probably taste great in soup."
Lin Ling raised his hand to block the sunlight and looked at the skeleton of the sea mammoth in front of him.
The huge white skeleton looked a bit creepy under the scorching sun.
Judging from the remaining breath and the size of the skeleton, this sea mammoth was probably in the commander-level advancement stage when it was alive, and was not far from the monarch level.
"The old man over there said that there have been several similar deaths here recently, not just of demons but humans as well."
Zhao Manyan and Mo Fan, who were sent to gather information, ran back and told others what they had learned.
Lin Ling pretended to understand and nodded. He had long known that the drowning curse was caused by some extremely special parasitic demon.
But it would be too weird to say it directly, so I have to find a beginning to expand on it.
"This kind of effect is usually caused by sacrificial curse magic or some kind of parasitic demon."
Lingling gave two possible directions based on the existing information.
With her current authority as the Hunter King, she can access many databases.
I have to say Lingling is really smart, she guessed the correct answer directly.
With a little more guidance from him, the wrong options will be eliminated, leaving only the correct answers.
However, Lin Ling looked at the huge skeleton of the Haijiang mammoth again.
This situation where all the flesh and blood are gone and only the bones are left is very similar to flesh-eating bacteria.
He did not believe that the extremely strange parasitic demon, the Drowning Curse, was selected by natural evolution.
The host infected by the Drowning Curse will be extremely eager for "water". Once it comes into contact with "water", all the host's vitality will be taken away by the Drowning Curse.
Furthermore, the Drowning Curse can learn, grow, and become the appearance of its original host.
This thing didn't appear recently. The drowning curse phenomenon has existed for at least a few years.
In addition to the deaths of demons, many humans also died.
Have these drowned curse worms that left the human corpses turned into the appearance of the dead again, and are they still walking somewhere in the world?
It is obvious that the inside story of this thing is not that simple. The antibodies in the original book can only prevent the drowning curse worms from continuing to parasitize for a short period of time, but it is not a long-term solution.
Under Lin Ling's guidance, Lingling quickly arranged the next plan.
The group contacted the association to find the families of nearby victims who died from the drowning curse. They checked one by one and found a person who was suspected to be parasitized by the drowning curse worm in one of the families.
"This is my brother Noko. For some reason, he suddenly went crazy last night and wanted to attack me, so I tied him up."
Noko's brother, the blond Bobby, pointed at the thin young man who was tied up with chains.
"My brother's symptoms are very similar to those of my eldest brother before he died, but I really don't know what to do. Please, can you save my brother's life?"
Bobby knelt on the ground, looking at Lin Ling and his companions who suddenly broke in.
His eldest brother also died because of the drowning curse. Even a fool could guess that these wizards might have come to investigate the drowning curse.
Maybe there is a way to save Noko.
Lin Ling looked at the tied-up Noko. In the original novel, when Mo Fan and the others arrived, the other party had already died in his own blood.
Perhaps it was fate that allowed Lin Ling and the others to catch up this time.
"It's most likely the work of a parasitic demon. Lin Ling, see if you can sense its location and take it out." Lingling said solemnly.
Most parasitic monsters can be dealt with by forcibly removing them, but this method is extremely difficult.
It can easily cause irreversible injuries to the host.
Lingling wasn't sure if Lin Ling could do it.
But she believed in Lin Ling because she had witnessed with her own eyes the miracle of Lin Ling turning the impossible into reality.
"I'll try my best."
Lin Ling tapped Nuoko's forehead, infusing him with spatial power and scanning his entire body. Empowered by the ninth realm of spiritual power, he could see everything within Nuoko's body, and he quickly discovered the location of the Drowning Curse Worm.
"It's in his brain, not outside. It's probably clinging to his cerebellum."
Lin Ling told what he had discovered.
Lingling's face instantly turned ugly when she heard this.
This is the situation she least wants to see. If the parasite targets the brain, the possibility of saving the host will be infinitely close to zero.
What to do to save it.
"Okay, I've taken out the Drowned Curse Worm."
"what?"
The originally somewhat desperate atmosphere at the scene was instantly broken by Lin Ling's words.
Everyone stared blankly at the transparent little bug in Lin Ling's hand, which was wrapped in a silver ball of light and kept twisting.
If it weren't for the silver light of space, it would not be possible to see the drowning curse insect.
"How did you do it?" The spirit was deeply puzzled.
Because he had shown aggressive tendencies just now, the crazy Noko now had a confused look in his eyes, as if he didn't understand why he was tied up.
This clearly shows that the brain has not suffered any damage.
"It's simple. I swapped the position of the curse-drowning worm with a tiny blood bead."
High-level space magic is not just about teleportation, otherwise it would be too cheap.
Exchanging spatial positions was the true meaning of the third level of instant movement. However, in order to achieve his level of precision and harmlessness, one's spiritual realm had to be at least the upper three realms.
"This is the true form of the Drowning Curse. It's quite disgusting, but now the prize money in the bounty pool should all be ours, right?" Mo Fan said as he looked at the twisting Drowning Curse worm.
"You have to break the Drowning Curse to get the bounty. Now only Lin Ling can break it, but that doesn't mean others can do the same. There are very few high-level mages with high spiritual realms." Lingling said slowly.
She did have an idea. If she could make corresponding antibodies with the help of the drowning curse worms, it might be possible to effectively suppress the deadly situation caused by the drowning curse.
However, the size of the curse-drowning worm is too small, and it is impossible to use it to produce antibodies.
After hearing Lingling's thoughts, Lin Ling turned his gaze towards Mo Fan and Zhao Manyan.
This scared the two of them.
An ominous premonition arose in my heart.
Could it be that this person wants to let the drowned curse worms parasitize them in order to produce antibodies?
"Yes, it's just what you think."
Before the two of them opened their mouths, Lin Ling spoke first, as if he could see through their hearts.
"Brother? Are you a human being? Please, be a human being." Mo Fan wanted to cry but had no tears.
I was afraid that Lin Ling would really do that.
"Just kidding, there's a way to fix this."
Just as Lin Ling and his group were gradually solving the drowning curse problem, they were dozens of miles away from the beach where the sea mammoth skeleton was discovered.
A sea mammoth with a huge body but empty eyes floated quietly on the sea like a ghost, and glanced in the direction of Grape Asia.
Behind this sea mammoth, there are countless sea mammoths.
Their common feature is their empty eyes that seem to have lost their souls.
Deep beneath the unknown ocean, an extremely beautiful mermaid nestles on a sea rock.
In her hand, a slightly transparent little insect crawled out from the palm of her hand and then swam away into the distance.
"Go, my child, bring purification to the land and return to the embrace of the sea."
The previous chapter is still blocked. I'll try to see if I can release it today, woo woo. I was a little affected, so the writing of this one is a bit bad. If it doesn't work, just skip to the next one.
Thank you, Young Master Ye, for the generous reward! Love you!
