Wizard Immortal

Chapter 125 Exploration

"There was something wrong with that sea monster."

Back on deck, after glancing around, Claddy frowned and spoke.

Beside him, Radel and Adir, who had regained their original appearances, nodded in agreement.

"Although the Minotaur is a relatively rare and powerful sea creature, it is usually only on par with a third-class apprentice. The fact that it is so aggressive towards the three of us at the same time is not in line with its usual style."

Standing silently to the side, Adir glanced at Kradi and Radel beside him and spoke.

"Unless... something is holding this sea monster back from below, preventing it from making way even if it offends us."

Radel's eyes lit up, and he pointed out this possibility.

"It's very likely that we'll go down and take a look after we've dealt with things here."

Clady's eyes lit up, and he looked at the two of them, saying, "As for now, let's deal with the remaining sea creatures first."

"After all, the corpses of these sea creatures are worth some magic stones, especially the corpse of that bull-headed sea beast, which is extremely rare and worth at least a thousand magic stones."

He looked at the two of them and said with a smile.

"I'll keep the blood of this bull-headed sea monster."

Adir suddenly spoke up: "I've been conducting some experiments on this topic recently, and I need the blood of some powerful creatures to assist me."

As he spoke, his gaze fell upon Radel beside him, clearly showing great interest in the bloodline modification Radel had previously demonstrated.

Listening to Adir's words, Kradi and Radel nodded in agreement.

For ordinary wizards, while those powerful, high-energy creatures are precious, their blood alone is of little use and is far less valuable than other parts of the material.

They talked for a while, and then Clady left first, seemingly to take care of some matters on the ship, leaving Adir and Radel behind.

Watching his figure walk away into the distance, Adir looked around.

At this moment, after the previous onslaught of a large number of sea creatures, the deck here was a mess, with blood and bits of flesh scattered everywhere, it was unclear which side had left them.

Some ordinary sailors were cleaning up the deck, collecting the blood and flesh and setting it aside.

On the other side of the deck, the bull-headed sea monster had been salvaged and was lying there quietly, not yet cut up because its materials were too precious.

"Let's go take a look first."

After standing there for a while, looking at Radel beside him, Adir made a suggestion.

Standing still, Radel had no objections and simply nodded in agreement.

After a while, they walked forward a distance and then came to the carcass of the sea monster.

This bull-headed sea monster was incredibly resilient; it had struggled for a long time before slowly dying. Its corpse was covered in wounds of all sizes, with specks of crimson blood, tinged with turbidity, still flowing out and not yet dried.

Seeing this, he hesitated for a moment, then gently reached out and dipped his finger in the blood, holding it up to his eyes to look at it.

"Chip, zoom in." He commanded the chip in his mind.

In an instant, the field of vision began to change, and the blood in front of me began to take on a different form.

A large number of useless impurities, as well as nutrients in the blood, including parasites living in the blood, all appeared before his eyes.

Beneath the surface of countless tiny substances, deep within the blood, Adir also saw what lay hidden even deeper within it.

Those were chains of bloodlines, which, under a magnified gaze a million times, displayed a gray sheen.

A large number of bloodline chains gathered and intertwined, but they did not form a complete bloodline imprint; they only had a small rudimentary form.

"After all, it is just an ordinary high-energy creature, far from being comparable to those creatures that contain ancient bloodlines."

Looking at the blood on his hands, Adir shook his head.

With a gentle wave of his hand, energy particles began to slowly gather around, evaporating the blood on his hands.

After doing all this, Adir stepped forward, and his right hand began to glow with a faint red light.

As the radiance of magic flashed, the blood of the sea beast before him seemed to be drawn by something, beginning to condense towards Adir's hand.

A large amount of blood slowly coagulated, and after much of the water evaporated, it condensed into chunks of red blood essence, which Adir carefully collected.

"Hey, this spell is pretty good." A surprised voice came from the side.

Watching Adir's actions, Radel's face showed interest: "With this spell, collecting blood will be much easier in the future, and we won't have to go through the tedious extraction process anymore."

"Adir, you seem to be quite knowledgeable about this."

He looked at Adir, who was busy in front of him, and said with a smile.

"No, I'm just doing some basic experiments. I can't compare to you in that respect."

Hearing Radel's words behind him, Adir turned around and smiled: "Your previous appearance must have involved bloodline modifications, right?"

"Yes!" Radel didn't bother to hide anything as he listened to Adir's words: "It was a very thorough modification surgery, and a portion of an amphibian's bloodline was implanted."

He didn't try to hide it, because even if he didn't say anything, a third-class apprentice like him would figure it out sooner or later.

"I've heard of this kind of modification; it must be very dangerous. Won't there be any side effects?"

Standing aside, having confirmed his thoughts, Adir frowned.

Many wizards have conducted experiments on human modification, but those who choose to do it on themselves are usually formal wizards, and it is often very dangerous to begin during the apprenticeship stage.

"no way."

Hearing Adir's words, Radel's face showed a bitter expression: "I tried to become a formal wizard once before."

"No wonder." A hint of understanding flashed in Adir's eyes as he listened to Radel's words.

According to the records Adir knew, if a third-class apprentice failed to become a formal wizard, there was a very high chance that they would die on the spot. Even if they were lucky enough to survive, most of their potential and life force would be consumed, and they would not live for long.

Judging from Radel's appearance, he clearly doesn't look like someone who has successfully advanced. So it's understandable that he would try to modify his body after failing, or even implant his bloodline into his body to gain new vitality.

As for the danger involved, it meant nothing to a person who was about to die.

"It's not as dangerous as you think."

Standing still, Radel shook his head: "My mentor happens to be an expert in this field. With his familiarity with this area, although it is somewhat dangerous for him to reform a third-class apprentice like me, it is not as terrifying as I imagined."

"That's quite an achievement," Adir said with a sigh, standing still.

The relationships between wizards are often very weak. Apart from the true lineage, even the apprentices they are responsible for may not be taken seriously by the formal wizards. Some formal wizards may even use their apprentices as test subjects.

Leaving aside the risks of the modification experiments performed on Radel, the cost of simply having a formal wizard perform the work would probably be enough to break the heart of any apprentice.

Let's leave this topic here.

Radel shook his head, a smile spreading across his face. "I'm very interested in the spell you just used. Judging from your technique, you seem to be quite skilled in this area. How about we exchange spells?"

"exchange?"

Adir paused for a moment, then realized what he meant: "That's no problem. I'm also very interested in your knowledge about bloodline modification."

As he spoke, an expression of interest appeared on his face.

Adir was indeed very interested in this kind of knowledge.

In the past, with the help of the chip, Adir obtained some high-purity ancient bloodline, which he still keeps in his body.

These pure ancient bloodlines are undoubtedly incredibly precious, but Adir still hesitated about their specific uses. If he could acquire some knowledge about bloodline modification, he might be able to try using these purified ancient bloodlines to conduct modification experiments in this area.

Even if it's not ultimately used on yourself, it's still good to use it to train your subordinates.

"Then it's settled." Radel nodded slightly and said.

They chatted for a while longer, and after roughly agreeing on a time for the transaction, Claddy slowly walked towards them from a distance.

"What are you talking about?"

As he approached, he looked at Adir and Radel and said casually.

"It's nothing."

Radel shook his head, his iron cane drooping slightly, then looked at him: "Have you finished dealing with your business?"

"It's almost over."

Seeing Radel's expression, Claudie didn't ask any further questions and simply nodded, saying, "Get ready, let's go down and take a look."

"good!"

The other two nodded in agreement.

They quickly made preparations.

Adir and Kradi first cast the corresponding spells on themselves before slowly descending. Radel, on the other hand, seemed to need no spells at all, able to survive briefly in the seawater.

"Let's go." A faint mental fluctuation rang out, carrying a unique frequency.

In the seawater, they could not speak in a normal way, but could only use their powerful mental energy to simulate unique frequencies and communicate using a secret language used only by the spellcaster.

In the sea, the three looked at each other, and then walked forward in unison.

As the water level continued to drop, the surrounding water pressure also began to increase.

However, this sea area is not very deep, only about two or three hundred meters deep. It might be a bit troublesome for ordinary people, but it is nothing for a few third-class apprentices.
