Wizards pursue the truth

Chapter 9 [9] Benign Transformation: A New Form of Crow

It's sizzling!

The dagger sliced ​​open the thorn sea monster's chest and pulled out its still faintly beating heart. The heart was warm to the touch and had a unique smell.

It's like spending seven days and seven nights in a slaughterhouse, then wandering around a rose field; beneath the faint fragrance of flowers lies a deep, indelible stench.

Wang Ya held the black, blood-streaked, fleshy heart in his hands, and Harak immediately moved closer, making a trembling sound.

He raised an eyebrow. The special substance contained in his heart was still unknown, but judging from the desire that Harak showed, it should bring considerable benefits.

[Iron Claws] Cultivation magic is the core of Harak. Consuming this black heart will also transform one into an amphibious creature like a thorny sea monster.

After some consideration, Wang Ya decided to give the heart to Harak to eat.

Every bit of improvement is a gain, and the crisis on the wizard ship is far from over.

Compared to the more frequent human screams before, they are now much less frequent.

Besides the fact that there are fewer people, the wizarding newbies who survive the first wave of attacks naturally have some unique abilities, and the chances of them being discovered and killed by the Thorn Sea Beasts are not high.

The feeding process is somewhat bloody; the animal first cuts the food into strips with its claws before swallowing it.

It took about three minutes for the entire heart to be swallowed.

Harak covered his head with his two wings, squatted down, and his body trembled.

I don't know if it's just my imagination, but Harak's wings seem to have spots with a deep, lustrous sheen.

Wang Ya's pupils shimmered with a faint blue light.

Target: Black-feathered Raven

[Physical Fitness: 9]

【Spirit: 0.9】

[Status: Lower-level extraordinary being]

[Abilities: Iron Claws, Steel Skin]

The physical condition has changed, but the spirit remains the same.

The anticipated anomaly did not occur, perhaps because there weren't enough thorn hearts to eat.

[Hint: Harak has successfully digested the Thorn Heart. Current mutation level: 20%. Mutation direction: Particle energy resistance, water pressure resistance, and speed.]

Wang Ya's brows relaxed. As expected, at least four more hearts were needed to complete the benign transformation.

As for the direction of alienation, the first should be resistance to particle energy such as witchcraft, and even a high degree of resistance to the effects of radiation.

Secondly, different depths of seawater have different pressures, and the transformed Harak will adapt to the pressure in the seawater.

The third one, as the name suggests, is to increase Harak's speed.

Overall, it is indeed improving Harak's strength and addressing its weaknesses.

However, Wang Ya still found it hard to imagine the scene of black-feathered crows with feathered wings going deep into the sea to fight.

If it were to grow gills like those of aquatic creatures and propel itself with unique feet, it would be quite possible.

His gaze fell upon Harak's sharp iron claws, hard and gleaming with a black iron luster, easily crushing the bone spikes and spines of the Thorn Sea Beast.

There must be quite a few Thorn Sea Beasts that have entered the wizard's ship; collecting the remaining four hearts shouldn't be a problem.

Of course, since Wang Ya didn't intend to leave the room, there was another way to continuously attract them.

Use another non-poisoned, sharp dagger to gently make a small cut in the palm of your hand.

Tick ​​tock!

Bright red blood splattered on the floor.

The stench of blood filled the air.

For humans, this amount of blood might only be detectable by a slight odor in a room.

The Thorn Sea Beast can smell a drop of blood even tens of thousands of meters away in the sea.

Especially their extraordinary, vibrant blood fascinates and entices them with greed.

Among the Thorn Sea Beasts, there is a very obvious characteristic: after identifying a prey, they release unique pheromones to keep other Thorn Sea Beasts away.

First, they threw the corpses out of the room through the window.

About two minutes later, a noise came from the other end of the corridor.

Wang Ya remained hidden in the shadows behind the door, while Halak, having tasted success, stood proudly on the other side of the door, displaying a posture reminiscent of a golden rooster standing on one leg.

The fishy smell of the ocean wafted over, accompanied by the odor of human blood.

This thorny sea monster was exceptionally large, its ferocious bone spikes constantly scraping against the walls of the corridor.

Some seaweed entwines around the bony spine and the enormous bony head, with gills on either side of the chin. Except for the fragile eyes, the face is protected by visor plates.

The three-dimensional form was presented in Wang Ya's consciousness and shared with Harak, manipulating him to make the most accurate cooperative actions.

"Gaka!"

With its distinctive cry, the thorny sea monster had clearly smelled its companion's scent, but since it didn't respond, it assumed its companion had left.

The stench of blood was irresistible, and without much hesitation, it smashed open the already dilapidated door.

laugh!

The sharp dagger pierced the eye socket at the perfect angle.

Harak took advantage of the situation, flapping its wings and clamping its iron claws onto the bone spikes on the spine.

With a 'snap', and with almost no struggle, another thorny sea monster became a prize.

He gripped the dagger and slashed open his chest.

After Harak ate the heart, his body shape and black feathers changed noticeably.

The black, glossy spots on the feathers have become more pronounced, now covering about a third of the area.

Instead of increasing in size, it decreased, shrinking by at least one size, turning from a calf into a lamb.

Overall, it is characterized by its streamlined shape, making it suitable for diving, gliding, and rapid takeoff.

The result of benign alienation is that the body size will further shrink to the size of a black-feathered raven.

To be fast, you need to be lightweight. Crows, as birds, don't rely on their size to ram into each other in melee combat.

If his defense and claw attack power remain unchanged, he would be a terrifying assassin.

Wang Ya disposed of the thorny sea monster's carcass and then prepared it according to the law.

This time, a thorny sea monster appeared in about two minutes.

There shouldn't be many new wizards left on the wizard ship, or perhaps we should find a way to make these thorny sea monsters disappear without a trace.

If Wang Ya can use scent to manipulate things, then the others can't all be idiots.

Twelve minutes have passed.

The fifth thorn sea monster fell to the ground.

Wang Ya breathed a sigh of relief, her face showing signs of fatigue, but she had finally finished.

Harak devoured his food, while Wang Ya eagerly awaited the outcome of the final, benign transformation.

The main gate was completely gone. They led Harak to a nearby room that had not been visited by the Thorn Sea Beast.

The new wizards here probably haven't returned; they might have died out there.

The transformation of Harak will take another ten minutes or so.

I washed myself in the restroom, mainly changing out of my clothes that were soaked with the green blood of the Thorn Sea Beast.
