Full-Time Mage: Starting with Gengar, selected for the National Tournament

Chapter 177 Dragon Hunting? Are you crazy?!

Lingling stirred the bloody water.

It seems to be searching for something.

He immediately took out a filter and told Mu Ningxue to pick up the basin of bloody water and start pouring it onto the filter.

Bobby and Nan Rongni were dumbfounded.

That little girl is incredibly brave.

They didn't even care about such disgusting, foul-smelling bloody water.

The bloody water has been poured out.

Finally, a fist-sized, wriggling blood clot appeared on the filter screen.

"What...what is this?" Bobby was stunned.

Lingling didn't answer, but simply called out, "Go get some water!"

"Okay."

Bobby nodded, strode into the yard, picked up a ladle, and scooped half a ladle of water from the water tank.

"Pour it here slowly."

Lingling gave the order.

When water was poured over the blood clots, the wriggling clots dissolved instantly and disappeared completely.

"Disappeared?" Bobby exclaimed in surprise.

"No, it's still there, look closely."

Mu Ningxue and Nan Rongni carefully examined the filter.

Soon, a strange sea worm, semi-transparent like a jellyfish, about the thickness of an index finger, and shaped like a maggot, came into view.

"I knew it was this!"

Lingling sounded excited.

She was on the plane.

They investigated a great deal of information about the drowning curse.

Finally, it was roughly deduced that the culprit was this thing.

But this is just speculation.

Only now, after seeing concrete evidence, does she dare to draw a conclusion.

"What is this?" Nan Rongni asked curiously. She was also a well-read mage, but this was the first time she had ever seen such a parasitic creature.

"Jellyfish maggots!"

"This is an extremely peculiar marine parasitic monster!"

"What you see now is their egg stage. It's normal that you haven't seen it before. Once they reach the ocean, where there is enough water and organisms to serve as nutrients, they will quickly grow into their true form!"

"What form?" Mu Ningxue asked.

"It's hard to say. What's peculiar about jellyfish maggots is that whatever they parasitize during their egg stage, they will gradually become that creature."

"You mean, if it parasitizes a dog, it will become a dog?" Nan Rongni asked.

"Well, since it's ultimately a sea worm, even if it parasitizes a dog, it won't stay for long. After draining the dog's flesh and blood, it will manipulate the dog's shell to run towards the sea, merge into the ocean, and transform into a transparent sea lion, silently lying in wait until it encounters a more powerful marine creature to parasitize!"

I heard Lingling's description.

Mu Ningxue immediately thought of the person who was cursed and their state before death, and quickly asked.

"So, those who drowned under the curse were also parasitized by this sea worm?"

Lingling nodded: "That's right. The reason why no signs of poisoning or curse can be found on the bodies of those who went to the sea and drowned under the curse is because once these jellyfish maggots enter the water, they blend into the seawater and disappear without a trace!"

"This thing is extremely strange. Even if we know the truth about the Drowning Curse, how do we deal with it?" Nan Rongni asked, frowning. "It's a parasite that can blend into water and hide itself. If an ordinary mage accidentally comes into contact with it, it's impossible to defend against it."

"I have a guess, but I need to investigate it further before I can be sure."

With that, Lingling placed the jellyfish maggots into a petri dish and turned to leave.

After half an hour.

Lingling brought back good news after completing the experiment.

"According to my research, the jellyfish maggot has completed its second stage, becoming a complete form, and should have grown a kind of vaccine tissue on its body."

Mu Ningxue asked with bright eyes, "You mean, as long as we hunt down the fully grown jellyfish maggot, obtain the vaccine, and inject it, we can break the drowning curse's control?"

"Yes, I've already tagged that little creature and released it back into the sea."

"We need to get going now."

"These vile maggots have a very high mortality rate in the ocean after leaving their host; very few can evolve to their complete form... Our next step is not only to track it, but also to protect it and ensure its successful advancement!"

Lingling said earnestly.

Nan Rongni and Mu Ningxue were stunned.

"Let's get going!"

Lingling urged him on, carrying the mini computer as she walked out.

Nan Rongni and Mu Ningxue followed closely behind.

"Wait, count me in! I know the ocean well. These devil worms killed two of my brothers; I can't let them continue to spread and wreak havoc!"

Bobby followed.

Seeing his younger brother's miserable state, he wished he could crush the maggot to death to vent his anger.

But having finally discovered a way to break the drowning curse... if the drowning curse can be removed, my younger brother in heaven will surely feel comforted.

……

A short while later.

The latest novel is first published here!

The four boarded a speedboat and, following the red dot guidance on Lingling's computer, chased after the maggots.

But after all, it's a journey to the deep ocean.

Nan Rongni was still somewhat worried.

Before setting off.

He specifically turned on location services and sent a message to Chu Ming.

An hour later.

As the group ventured deeper, the color of the seawater gradually deepened.

Bobby piloted the speedboat into a completely new area of ​​the sea.

"We have now entered the territory of another kind of siren. The good news is that the maggot has already molted once. As long as it parasitizes an even more powerful siren, it should be able to advance to its complete form."

Lingling glanced at the signal display on the computer.

"Bobby, do you remember which high-ranking sirens inhabit this area?"

"We must analyze the target of that maggot in order to prepare in advance."

Lingling asked again.

According to her speculation, based on the parasitic desires of the maggots, the highest priority should be the creature with the strongest aura.

Otherwise, it will choose an ordinary siren to parasitize.

Even if they evolve, they will only become food for higher-level sea monsters.

"Let me think... This sea area is the habitat of the thunderstorm squid. Speaking of high-level sea monsters, it seems that a pseudo-dragon of the Black Sea once appeared here."

"That Wuhai pseudo-dragon is a hybrid demon born from a sea evil dragon and a thunderstorm squid."

"There's a sea dragon?!"

Lingling exclaimed in surprise.

"Yes." Bobby nodded.

"There's no mistake, that maggot's target must be that Wuhai pseudo-dragon!"

Lingling said with certainty.

Although the pseudo-dragon is just a demon that is only slightly related to the dragon race.

But after all, they are dragons. Even the thinnest bloodline can bring a qualitative improvement to the original ordinary sea monster bloodline!

soon.

The group arrived at the territory of the Wuhai Pseudo-Dragon.

Lingling also happened to see the red signal on the computer screen and remained motionless in the depths of the sea below, seemingly waiting for an opportunity.

"It seems that this maggot has already set its sights on this pseudo-dragon. It can lurk in the ocean and wait, but we still have to participate in the National Government's training program. We don't have that much time to wait for it to advance." Nan Rongni frowned.

Mu Ningxue gazed at the dark sea, pondered for a moment, and suddenly said, "Since it wants to parasitize the Black Sea Pseudo-Dragon, then let's help it hunt down that pseudo-dragon!"

"what?"

Bobby was stunned.

Bringing these people to the territory of the pseudo-dragon in Wuhai was already extremely risky.

They actually want to hunt down that Wuhai pseudo-dragon?!

What a joke.

That's a commander-level sea dragon!

Are you crazy?!
