Chapter 180: Exotic Creatures
Jairo squirmed in horror in his dreams, his eyeballs, the only part of himself that could move, but all he could see was a blood-red patch of chaos and nothingness.
He felt like an ornamental fish locked in a crystal fish tank, helpless, dazed, lonely and timid.
This scalp-tingling dream lasted for an unknown amount of time, knowing that Jairo suddenly saw a large black and constantly distorted shadow on the other side of the boundless blood-red chaos.
He immediately looked excitedly at the place where the shadow was, hoping to see the shadow for what it really was.
Finally, with his desperate efforts, the blood-red chaos mist began to dissipate, and the image of the shadow became clearer and clearer little by little.
Until finally, when the image of the shadow completely appeared in front of Jairo's eyes, all the excitement and ecstasy in his heart were replaced by a cold chill.
I saw that the true face of the shadow that appeared in front of his eyes was his own face lying on his side sleeping on the bed!
So he was the eye locked in a blood-red gem ball?
The huge shock made Jairo wake up all of a sudden, and he slammed into his bed and gasped for air in a cold sweat
Whew
Jairo swallowed dryly, feeling his throat extremely dry, and went back to get the water glass on the bedside table, only to see the blood-red jewel ball that was quietly placed next to his pillow
That night, Jairo sat on the head of his bed for the whole night, and the next morning, without saying a word, he picked up the stone ball next to his pillow and hurried towards the mage's laboratory where the scholars were.
And when he rushed into the door of the mage's laboratory with the stone ball in his hand, all the scholars who saw what he was holding in his hand were stunned!
Together with Jairo, they rushed to the experimental hall where the orbs were supposed to be stored, where there were supposed to be two scholars who had been studying the secrets of the ruby balls all night.
As a result, when they pushed open the door of the experimental hall, they were immediately stunned by what they saw.
I saw that on the stone platform in the center of the experimental hall, the red gem ball was still sitting there quietly
What's going on?
Are there really two jewel balls?
Jairo thought so in his heart, but when he lowered his head, he was horrified to find that the red gem ball he had just held in his arms had quietly disappeared without knowing when
This series of mysterious phenomena that happened to Jairo aroused the interest of the scholars, who began to help Jairo find a way to figure out why the red stone ball had been haunting him.
But until the end, scholars have not figured out why the red stone ball is haunting Jairo, because after being entangled by the gem ball for three months, when Jairo suddenly wakes up one morning, he has never seen the ruby ball again
It all ended abruptly and without warning on that day, as if the jewel ball had achieved some mission, it no longer lingered on Jairo, and never showed any strange visions since, the eye in the center of the gem was mostly staring straight ahead, no longer moving its gaze for anyone.
The scholars' efforts proved to be useless, and the ruby orb was eventually taken back into the royal treasury by Wood I, never to see the light of day again.
Until today
Jairo hid in the shadows behind the pillar, with a hint of embarrassment and palpitations in his tone, and slowly told Xue Hua about this past that had been buried in the long river of history.
At that time, the Sanctuary World was becoming more and more intense due to the invasion of demons, and everyone had no other leisure to pay attention to other things other than war.
So this strange story in King's Harbor was limited to a few years of local circulation, and with the further expansion of the war, even the people of King's Harbor no longer talked about this strange incident, so this matter was slowly forgotten by people, and those scholars who had studied strange beasts and ruby balls back then have also passed away, only the legendary person Jero, still remembers that strange and bizarre past.
However, Xue Hua listened to Jairo's story, but suddenly noticed that something was wrong, and Jairo finally said that when the ruby ball was no longer pestering him, the sight of the eye in it also returned to staring straight forward
But when Xue Hua just got this blood-red gem, the eyeball inside was indeed following his direction all the time?
He told Jairo about it, but it turned out to be a look of "asking for a blessing" from Jairo behind the stone pillar.
"Congratulations, it looks like you've got caught up with it too"
βhatοΌοΌβ
Xue Hua's hand shook, and he almost didn't throw the bag in his hand directly.
"Don't throw it, it's useless to throw it anywhere, I've tried many times"
I don't know if it was his delusion, but he always felt that Jairo said this with a hint of obvious schadenfreude in his tone
"Damn, why didn't you warn me before I went in?" Xue Hua reluctantly took out the ruby ball from the cloth bag, and sure enough, he found that the eyeball in the center of the ball was staring at his face with a hollow and godless gaze
It was just a numb look at his scalp
"It's been a long time, I've long forgotten that there is such a thing in the king's treasury, besides, the people in the king's treasury have never been entangled by it, who knows what it likes about you, and it actually gets directly entangled with you"
Jairo scratched his head a little embarrassed: "Why don't you go in and choose one?" β
"Forget it, I don't want to go into your treasury anymore, the ghost knows that there are some things in it"
Xue Hua held the gem ball and the eyeballs inside and stared wide-eyed, while asking Abbather to quickly help him examine this thing in detail in the mind of the main nest.
He didn't want to get up tomorrow morning and find a big eye staring at him next to the pillow, so as not to scare him out of the way
Taking advantage of the connectivity of Xue Hua's spiritual universe, Abbather carefully stretched out a few arthropods from the spiritual universe, quickly and carefully struck the gem ball, and then told him a news that was both unexpected and reasonable.
This ruby-like mineral crystal is not a crystalline mineral at all, but a solidified organic tissue crystal, and the organic tissue structure of this crystal is genetically identical, and it is not the same species as any creature in the sanctuary world.
In other words, this ruby-like organic orb, or the huge beast that Jairo had seen back then, was not a product of the original soil of the Sanctuary World at all, but came from the distant outer space
And most importantly, Abbather told him that the eye-like tissue in the organic tissue crystallization was a special biological sampling organism and the biological core of the organic sphere.
And the fact that it was still working proves that the creature is not dead at all, and that it has been in the treasury without moving, just because it is dormant
