Mu Ningxue rolled her eyes at him and silently moved a little further away from him.

Mo Fan, shameless as ever, chased after her, saying, "Xuexue, have you ever heard a song called 'Are You Free This Weekend...'?"

“Mo Fan is truly… infatuated.” Jiang Shaoxu stammered out a single word after a long pause.

“One is willing to hit, and the other is willing to be hit.” Xu Fang laughed. “He just likes the feeling of conquering an ice queen, and besides, he has a concubine in the Parthenon.”

"It is true?"

Jiang Shaoxu was somewhat incredulous.

With Mu Ningxue's temper, if Mo Fan dared to find a mistress outside, wouldn't he freeze the mistress on his body into an icicle?

Xu Fang: "Mu Ningxue knows, haven't you heard Mo Fan calling her 'first wife' all the time?"

Jiang Shaoxu: "..."

Men, none of them are good!

As the four walked towards the skeletons by the sea, Mu Ningxue chose another path on her own, and Mo Fan followed her.

Xu Fang and Jiang Shaoxu arrived at the location of the skeletons and could hear angry curses from a distance.

"What happened?" Xu Fang asked in International English.

"Hey, a hunter just climbed up looking for some strange bone, but he sat on it and broke it. He's arguing with the buyer right now," said a bystander.

"Sit down your bones?" Jiang Shaoxu found it ridiculous.

Xu Fang stepped forward, placed his hand on the bones, and used sound magic to analyze them.

"It's all empty inside."

"Moreover, there was not a single sign of a fight on this corpse."

Such a large skeleton, the flesh is gone, the blood is gone, the marrow is gone, leaving only an empty skeleton drifting on the sea.

"How did they do that?" Jiang Shaoxu said he couldn't understand it at all.

Xu Fang carefully examined the smooth skeleton.

He knew the truth: the culprit behind all this was the evil maggot, a terrifying parasitic demon, and also the cause of the "drowning curse."

The so-called "drowning curse" is actually the evil maggots being dissatisfied with the little energy in the host's body, so they issue a command for the host to go to the sea to replenish its energy.

As for the host, it will be completely drained before drowning, and will die and wither within a few days.

To be honest, there are a lot of strange and bizarre things in France and around the world that are simply inexplicable by the scientific world.

The maggots are somewhat better; there's a movie called "Deranged" that offers a somewhat scientific explanation.

Behemoths like the Commander-level and Monarch-level are just too ridiculous; gravity and oxygen simply wouldn't allow them.

The claim of scaling up proportionally is a lie. If a creature were to grow to a certain size, it would be crushed to death because its skeleton would be unable to support its weight.

Does the bone structure strengthen?

It's even less likely. Bone density refers to the amount of bone minerals per unit volume, so there is a limit to bone density.

Besides, once bone density increases, weight also increases, creating an unsolvable cycle of adding water and flour.

Xu Fang just used sound analysis to examine the skeleton of the Sea Frontier Mammoth. How should I put it... it truly lives up to its reputation as a high-martial-arts world, and its skeleton is indeed worthy of being used to make magical artifacts.

—If this skeleton could be classified as a carbon-based life form instead of a silicon-based life form, I'd eat the whole thing!

Chapter 299 Lingling Arrives, Forensic Doctor Xu Fang

Trying to explain the world of martial arts with science is inherently a stupid thing to do.

Xu Fang didn't really want to, but he was really curious!

The largest creatures he had ever seen were the Mountain Corpse, the Totem Serpent, and the Totem Overlord, all of which had maxed out their agility and could fight and jump.

If they were carbon-based organisms, they would have been broken into several pieces long ago by doing this.

—Even metal wouldn't work. In the Titanic, such a large ship was suspended in mid-air, and the entire ship broke apart from the middle because the hull couldn't bear the weight.

In addition to the strength of its bones and skin being completely beyond the scope of modern science, its nerve conduction speed is also incredibly impressive.

During the cataclysm in the ancient capital, a high-level mage ambushed someone from behind, blasting the Mountain Corpse's leg with magic. However, the Mountain Corpse turned around and demoted the mage to a lower dimension.

What kind of reaction speed is that?!

To scale it up proportionally, after a super-level spell hits, the mountain corpse will need at least several seconds to feel the pain before it can urge its arm to swing out.

In about ten seconds, the super-level mage had already slipped away.

Hmm, an extraordinary power from the unseen world, a completely new law from another dimension, makes perfect sense, doesn't it?

Xu Fang retrieved the stored brain and began to think about how to resolve the drowning curse.

The prize money for the Drowning Curse is just too tempting, over 300 million!

Xu Fang immediately dialed Lingling's phone number, and it was answered almost instantly.

"Is there another new development?" Lingling asked impatiently.

"Portugal, the drowning curse incident, are you coming or not?"

"Come on, I'll book the tickets right now!"

The National Day holiday had just ended, and Lingling was in the throes of intense schoolwork when she received Xu Fang's call, which made her ecstatic.

Finally, I have a reason not to go to class!

······

Lingling was more proactive than anyone else. Before dawn, she took the fastest flight to Tinoaya City.

"Tsk, where did the flesh on your face go?" Ignoring Lingling's struggles, Xu Fang pinched her cheeks and pulled them apart: "You used to be able to pull them this long. You need to eat more."

"Go away!"

Lingling slapped away his groping hand, fuming and unhappy.

This is called a girl's oval face, what do you know?

"Let me touch it too..." Mo Fan chuckled and tried to get a hand on it, but was deterred by Lingling Sharen's gaze.

"Let's make it clear beforehand that this mission will be handled by our Qingtian Hunting Station, and I won't be bringing those two women," Lingling said.

She was referring to Jiang Shaoxu and Mu Ningxue.

The difference between splitting money among three people and splitting it among five people is huge.

Lingling also had her own selfish motives. Mo Fan was her official partner, and although Xu Fang had not joined the Qingtian Hunting Grounds, he had his own room on the second floor of the hunting grounds, making him a true member of their own group.

Lingling is a generous person, but this generosity is only reserved for her own people.

"Now, let me share some information."

Lingling began by saying, "I have compiled a spreadsheet of all the people who died from the drowning curse. One thing is certain: all the deaths occurred in cities near the sea. There were no cases of drowning curses in rivers, lakes, or major rivers."

Mo Fan said, "I found a shallow beach. According to an old man in the area, eight drowning curse incidents have occurred here alone."

"The remains of the giant beast on the beach have also been analyzed, and it can be confirmed that they were the work of a parasitic organism; otherwise, the flesh and bone marrow could not have disappeared so completely," Xu Fang said.

Lingling's eyes lit up: "That makes sense, we can start from this angle!"

The way hunters solve cases is similar to how the police solve serial murder cases. They usually start by interviewing people and looking for commonalities. Through these commonalities, they can guess the gender, occupation, and possible group of people of the murderer.

Mo Fan takes on the role of a police officer, responsible for conducting door-to-door visits.

Xu Fang went to the local police station, retrieved his hunter's certificate, and obtained a temporary forensic certificate.

On a beach.

A body had just been pulled from the water; the person showed no signs of life and lay stiffly on the ground.

Xu Fang pressed his finger lightly on the corpse and, after analysis, found that it was empty with thin skin and little filling.

"Is the examination finished? We're going to proceed with the cremation!"

A monk dressed in fiery red robes urged impatiently from the side.

"All right."

Xu Fang nodded and turned to leave.

Behind him, a flame shot into the sky, burning the body to ashes. Locals sang a noisy song, the gist of which was to pray that the plague would disappear and stop spreading.

However, it was of no use.

The culprits have long since fled; all that remains are the leftovers—or, more accurately, the leftover "tableware."

Moving on to the next house, this one had windows filled with flowers.

But instead of the fragrance of flowers, what hit us was a pungent smell of blood!

"Is anyone home?" Xu Fang knocked on the door, and when no one answered, he didn't waste any words and kicked the door open.

"Hey, what are you doing?"

A pale-faced, ugly man rushed over from the alleyway entrance, almost crying as he looked at the half-ruined gate.

Why is everyone bullying me?!

He had only whistled at two beautiful women and said a few flirtatious words, but he almost froze to death. He couldn't help but slap himself several times with his right hand, and walked back in a daze.

Now even the main gate has been demolished!

“Your house smells awful,” Xu Fang said.

Pu Chou Nan took a deep breath and immediately gagged. He had ignored the stench because he saw Xu Fang barge in.

"The smell is coming from inside this door."

Xu Fang pointed to a room that was locked from the outside, with all the gaps even nailed shut.

The security was so tight it was almost unnatural. Even if a couple were to engage in some kind of restraint or coercion, handcuffs and blindfolds would be enough. Why would they need to seal the door?

The ugly man's expression changed instantly.

"Noko! Noko!"
