Wizard's Journey

Chapter 652 Bloodthirsty Beast?

Seven days later.

Millions of black and red striped longtail fish, swimming in dense schools like hurricanes, create a vibrant and beautiful spectacle in the ocean's tidal world.

Glug glug glug...

In the distance, thousands of tidal giants nimbly swung their serpentine tails as they sped forward. These black and red striped long-tailed fish seemed to be startled and were about to swim away again under the guidance of the lead fish when a gaping maw opened from the seabed and lunged at them.

"Protect Master Grimm!"

"Drive this sturgeon away!"

On the Thousand-Eyed Crab, Grin waited quietly as hundreds of elite Tide Giants at the forefront of the procession, armed with weapons, drove away the enormous marine creatures that were hunting in front of them, without killing them.

This creature, known as the sturgeon by the giant tide creature, is nearly a thousand meters long. Its enormous size is truly astonishing, but it is rather clumsy in its movements and has extremely simple intelligence. It can only rely on its massive body to devour groups of small creatures in the ocean.

After a short while, the sturgeon was driven away, and the sea ahead returned to calm. Only then did the numerous tide giants continue to escort Grin on the Thousand-Eyed Crab forward again.

In recent days, Grimm and his group have experienced similar expulsions no less than ten times. The Tide Giants have treated Grimm as their most honored guest, protecting him and not allowing him to suffer the slightest mishap. They take care of Grimm as if he were an infant with no fighting ability.

Sachielmeyer whispered to Green, "Sturgeon is the best mount in the Tideworld. When the Tideworld opened up the shipping routes to the most primitive civilization settlements, it relied on sturgeon to transport Tide warriors on patrol over long distances."

"Oh?"

Green asked with great interest, "The establishment of a primitive civilization settlement? Approximately how many years ago did that happen?"

Sachielmeye thought for a moment and said, "Well, it was probably seven thousand years ago. At that time, the Tide World was full of ferocious beasts. It wasn't until the great Tide Elf King became the king of the ocean that he began to unite all the intelligent marine creatures to fight against the ferocious beasts, which led to the peace we have today."

After thinking for a moment, Azirmeyer sighed and said, "But in the deep sea, marine life continues to be corrupted by the ancient cursed spears, transforming into bloodthirsty beasts. Those ancient cursed spears are often located in the deepest ancient ruins of the seabed, where a large number of bloodthirsty beasts roam. Even with His Majesty the Sea King leading numerous tide warriors in their tireless efforts to collect and seal them over the years, they have only collected a small part of the tide world. Alas..."

Although he was sighing, Azirmeyer's eyes secretly glanced at Green, as if he were testing something.

Well?!

Green keenly sensed Sachielmeyer's thoughts: the corruption of the Ancient Cursed Spear?

Gradually, Green recalled the Titan Spear fragments he had acquired in the world of Shadow Mystery. They were metal fragments found inside the belly of a two-headed serpent. The two-headed serpent seemed to have undergone a gigantic mutation due to the Titan fragments, becoming exceptionally ferocious. At the time, Green hadn't paid much attention to them or thought much about them.

Hearing Sachirmeye say this, I remembered this matter.

As for the mysterious metals that Green obtained through other means, they were all "processed" second-hand or even several-handed materials.

So, can we infer that this metal fragment actually possessed the ability to curse and corrupt low-intelligence creatures, as mentioned by Sachirmeye, but that it has been expelled by the one who possessed it earlier?

Seeing the thoughtful expression on Grimm's face after he mentioned the Ancient Cursed Spear, Sachielmeyer tentatively asked, "Master Grimm, according to the Wise Sage, as long as you have enough Wizard Coins, you can commission any task in the Wizarding Alliance. So, is the task of collecting and sealing these Ancient Cursed Spears also possible?"

"Well!?"

After regaining his senses, Green stood there dumbfounded.

Originally, my condition in the contract of fate was that the Wizarding World would pay me 10,000 Wizard Coins after recovering the Titan Spears, and I could even negotiate for more. But this guy actually plans to spend resources to issue a mission to the Wizarding Alliance to clear out these Titan Spears.

This……

The contrast is too great.

As Grimm pondered whether to slightly alter the contract terms, a sudden commotion erupted among the surrounding Tide Giants, who cried out in alarm. Sachielmeyer looked over and exclaimed in equal shock, "Bloodthirsty Beast!"

"Huh? What? We're going to fight!?"

Xiao Ba, filled with curiosity, looked over with excitement at the mysterious Wan Tou Niao, only to see streaks of blood-red light suddenly emerging from the darkness of the deep sea, seemingly the appearance of several large creatures.

Under Sachielmeyer's command, the surrounding Tide Giants began to retreat defensively. Although there were thousands of them, and most of them had already reached the first-level biological level, they were all in a state of fear. Grimm could see the tension in their hearts.

Are the Bloodthirsty Beasts really that terrifying?

As the crimson light from the deep sea gradually rose to the surface, Green stared in astonishment upon seeing the appearance of these creatures. They were the black and red striped longtail fish that had just been swallowed by the sturgeon!

However, these black and red striped longtail fish were no longer the size of a palm; they had grown to several meters in length, and were surrounded by a black and red aura. They had transformed from colorful and docile marine creatures into ferocious, bloodthirsty, and terrifying creatures.

Hoo, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho!

The seawater churned, filled with a fishy smell. It turned out that a giant sturgeon, over a thousand meters long, had just been driven away by the giant tides and was swimming up from the deep sea with mournful cries. Every struggle of its massive body caused unimaginable waves to surge and roll, and the smell of blood was emanating from the sturgeon's body.

Plop!

A black and red striped longtail fish, over three meters long, pierced through the skin of the sturgeon. After the scarlet blood flowed out, it desperately tried to burrow into the sturgeon's body. This black and red striped longtail fish was obviously just one of thousands of black and red striped longtail fish!

The sturgeon, which had just been devouring the black and red striped longtail fish, suddenly became their prey after encountering these bloodthirsty beasts that had been corrupted by the ancient cursed spear, as described by Sachirmeye.

This completely disrupts the natural rules of biological evolution!

"Master Green, while this sturgeon has drawn the attention of these bloodthirsty beasts, let's get out of here quickly."

Sachielmeyer spoke in a low voice, while directing the surrounding elite Tide Giants to turn around. Grimm nodded and hummed in agreement.

It truly lives up to its reputation as a once-great civilization of this world. The fact that some of the weapons left behind could still have such an impact after so many years is astounding. I wonder just how powerful this so-called Titan civilization really was, and how it compares to the current Wizarding World.

Furthermore, how did they perish without colliding with another civilization?

Is it a disaster within its own social system, or... something else?
