He rushed forward, trembling as he pulled out his keys from his pocket and opened the door. As soon as the door opened, an even stronger stench assaulted his nostrils, and a truly nauseating scene came into view!
"vomit!"
The ugly man vomited immediately, tears, snot, and vomit mixed together, and he was completely disoriented from vomiting.
Xu Fang was used to big events, and although he felt a little uncomfortable, it was still within an acceptable range.
Inside the cabin, a man is strapped to a chair.
His wrist was slashed open, and judging from the messy, gruesome wound, it was most likely bitten open with his teeth.
Blood flowed into the iron basin in front of him, his head was submerged in the blood, and he drowned!
It is no longer possible to determine whether the cause of death was drowning or excessive blood loss.
Xu Fang used his analytical abilities again and discovered that this person had also "withered," with his bone marrow gone, which perfectly matched the other drowning curses!
"what are you doing?"
Pu Chou Nan was furious when he saw Xu Fang grab the corpse by the back of the head and pull him up.
"I am a forensic doctor, please cooperate with my work."
Xu Fang said, transferring the analytical sonic power into this basin of blood.
Soon, some translucent, dandruff-like creatures revealed their true form, somewhat like duck blood sold in the market, but softer. They would crumble into pieces if subjected to even a little more force.
Xu Fang rubbed out a small water ball and gently stroked it. The "duck blood" seemed to melt away and turned into a completely transparent little maggot!
"Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!"
El Niño in The Whale's Mark cried out, conveying feelings of rejection and disgust!
El Niño is both benevolent and malevolent; what good could something be that it detests?
Chapter 300: If Xu Fang can't do it, then Mo Fan has to?
Lingling arrived quickly, her big eyes sparkling with excitement as she looked at the creature in the basin.
"It's really rare. This thing is called a jellyfish maggot. It uses plenty of seawater as its habitat and grows into its final form in a short period of time."
"Final form?" Mo Fan asked, puzzled. "There's also a transitional form?"
Like Ultraman, he has a basic form, a power-borrowing form in the middle stage, and finally returns to his original, most awesome form?
"Yes."
Lingling affirmed, "The larva of the jellyfish maggot is like a malleable embryo; it can grow into whatever it attaches to."
"What does this have to do with the drowning curse?"
"Didn't I say that any living being, including humans?"
Lingling's words sent chills down the spines of everyone present.
"Impossible! I know my brother well, how could he possibly be transformed from a maggot?" Pu Chou Nan roared in anger.
"calm down."
Xu Fang pressed him back into the chair: "I didn't detect any toxins or signs of curses on your brother's body. The jellyfish maggots are the only clue."
"Impossible, this can't be..."
The ugly man covered his head, still finding it hard to accept this reality.
"Think back, was there anything unusual about your brother before he died? For example, his speech, behavior, and appetite?" Xu Fang asked.
The plain-looking man gradually calmed down:
"Noko loves surfing and goes to the beach with his surfboard every morning. These past few days, because so many people have drowned due to the curse, I didn't want him to go. I didn't expect him to dare yell at me and insist on going with red eyes."
So I gave him two big sacks and locked him in the house to let him reflect on his actions, but I never expected he would die because of it. As for his appetite…”
Pu Chou Nan thought about it carefully and said with certainty, "Noko's appetite has increased a lot recently. I thought it was because he was having too much fun outside."
Xu Fang and Lingling nodded.
That's it.
A significant increase in appetite is also one of the notable characteristics of parasitism, as parasitic organisms obtain nutrients from their hosts in this way.
“It’s now basically confirmed that the truth behind the Drowning Curse is this jellyfish maggot,” Lingling said.
Mo Fan asked impatiently, "Then can we go collect the bounty?"
Lingling rolled her eyes: "Of course not. The conditions of the bounty pool are very clear: to solve the drowning curse problem—maybe we can try a vaccine."
“I just checked, and there are no components from which vaccines can be extracted,” Xu Fang said, shaking his head.
"We might have to wait until it goes through its second stage and grows into its complete form before we can find the vaccine tissue," Lingling speculated.
"So we're going to put it back into the sea and let it grow freely?" Mo Fan asked.
"more than."
Lingling said, "After the maggots enter the sea, they go through a very vulnerable stage with an extremely high mortality rate. Very few of them can grow to their full size... Therefore, we must not only track them down, but also protect them and ensure that they grow up safely!"
······
Breaking the drowning curse is a major event, so Xu Fang and Mo Fan immediately asked the National Team for leave.
The three of them, along with the plain-looking Bobby, boarded a speedboat and set sail.
Bobby's only task is to sail the boat, while Lingling acts as the team's brain.
Xu Fang's task was to use the will-o'-the-wisp to lock onto the jellyfish maggot and use sound magic to scout ahead, while Mo Fan was responsible for killing the enemy.
This time, we really can't do without Mo Fan.
Xu Fang discovered that his magic was all of a wide range, characterized by its indiscriminate use of both meat and vegetables, equality for all beings, and the ability to fight both tigers and flies.
Putting everything else aside, the warm air field that El Niño brings can roast maggots and a large number of plankton alive.
Mo Fan was quite happy to accept it, mainly because Xu Fang and Lingling had both gotten the top student template, while he himself seemed rather dull from babbling.
If I don't put in a lot of effort, I'll be embarrassed to even accept the reward!
The Drowned Curse Worms weren't particularly fast, and their boats maintained a distance of less than 500 meters from the creature.
"There's something going on down there, Mo Fan," Xu Fang said.
Mo Fan said helplessly, "I'm not a Pokémon..."
"Stop talking nonsense and get lost!"
Xu Fang kicked Mo Fan in the butt, and Mo Fan fell into the water. He temporarily used spatial magic to create an air zone around himself so that he could breathe smoothly.
The water in this area wasn't very clear, so Xu Fang and Lingling couldn't see what was underwater and could only use sound magic and will-o'-the-wisps to guess what was going on.
I wish there was an unmanned underwater vehicle.
Similar to a swarm of bees, they are small and exquisite, and can replace humans in underwater reconnaissance.
The time for a full-scale sirens invasion has not yet arrived, and humanity is not paying enough attention to this matter.
The only available marine data was recorded by water-based mages who dived into the water and used handheld camera equipment.
If you want to obtain any information later on, you'll have to sacrifice lives; news of an elite squad being completely wiped out is common.
Now that we have sound system analysis capabilities, it's time to launch our third patent after the bomb and the swarm.
"Glug glug..."
Xu Fang flung an ice chain into the sea and pulled Mo Fan, whose cheeks were swollen from the foam, ashore.
But just as the wave began to rise, suddenly the seawater in that area surged wildly, forming a whirlpool large enough to swallow a ship.
"Whoosh! Whoosh!!!!!"
A black maw of abyss shot out from where Mo Fan had been standing, and lunged to bite at Mo Fan, who was in mid-air.
Mo Fan was indeed as small as an earthworm on a fishing line, while the ocean monster, even with only half its head showing, was already visually striking and terrifying.
Compared to it, this clipper is a small item!
"Damn it, stop yelling at me here!" Mo Fan roared in fury: "Thunder Arm - Death Ray!"
A powerful black lightning bolt pierced directly into the fish's lips, and Mo Fan jumped out from inside, his body still covered in the strange fish's saliva.
"Don't run, you bastard! Your grandpa Mo is going to kill you today!" Mo Fan thought, still wanting to chase after the fleeing strange fish.
Xu Fang quickly stopped him: "What are you killing? By the time you kill them, the maggots will have run far away!"
"Exactly!" Lingling rolled her eyes dramatically. "Your water combat skills are so weak, so please stop trying to be brave, okay?"
After being repeatedly rejected, Mo Fan found a corner to lick his wounds alone, his resentful little eyes visible only to the ship's deck.
"The aura of the maggot has intensified; it must have completed a transformation." Xu Fang sensed the rising energy feedback from the little ghost fire.
"This is a good thing; the maggots have passed their weakest period," Lingling nodded and said.
“Guys, although I don’t want to spoil your fun right now, I have to warn you that there’s a reef cave just ahead,” said Bobby, the ugly guy.
Reef caves are actually "islands" formed by a series of interconnected sea reefs, but they do not rise above the water surface; instead, they are completely hidden underwater.
“These naturally formed, massive reef islands often become the lair of demons. Sometimes even the lair of different races of demons, so we also call these places Siren Castles,” said Bobby, the ugly man.
Even the ugliest person has their own bed, and although sirens are generally not very attractive, they also have their own habitat.
“The maggots came here probably to find a suitable evolutionary form,” Lingling said with a headache. “But the terrain here is too complicated, and it’s quite dangerous.”
"It doesn't matter, Mo Fan will take care of it."
Xu Fang patted Mo Fan on the shoulder: "Go ahead, it's your choice!"
Chapter 301 Mo Fan, the Poop-Scooping Boy
“Mo Fan, your task is simple: go find some poop,” Lingling said.
Mo Fan: "???"
Xu Fang said, "Excrement usually refers to the waste products excreted by the large intestine of an organism..."
"Stop, stop, stop! You don't need to explain so clearly!" Mo Fan looked like he was in a pained expression. "Why the hell would I go looking for shit?"
