Volume 1 • Seven Seas [014] Zhen Qi Stone
The Marsha virus is one of the deadliest man-made viruses after World War III.
Its toxicity is dozens of times that of botulinum toxin, and a dose of just 0.05 μg is enough to be fatal.
The virus, developed by an island nation, has caused tens of millions of deaths in the island country due to accidental leaks, and even triggered a wave of migration from the island country, and the entire island country almost collapsed as a result.
Originally, the virus was not only deadly, but also extremely contagious, enough to destroy a city in just a few hours, but Hawkins castrated the virus and only kept its deadly toxin.
He knew very well how backward the world's sanitation measures were, and even with the strange power of the cursed relic, once the Marsha virus spread, it would be enough to cause the extinction of most living beings.
This was by no means the result he wanted to see.
......
Half an hour later, the Black Knife approached the wooden sailboat.
Although it is not possible to use the cursed relics for the time being, it is imperative to collect the cursed relics.
Hawkins jumped from the edge of the Black Knife onto the deck of the wooden galleon, with Mark close behind.
I have to say that Mark's recovery speed is much faster than Hawkins expected, although there are factors for him to treat, but Mark's physical fitness is far beyond ordinary people, and ordinary people have to lie down for a week even if they have his treatment.
There were five bodies lying on the wooden sailboat, and Mark looked at them, but could not see the cause of their deaths.
Originally, Mark felt that Hawkins was very mysterious, in the past he was confident that the mana protector was not his opponent, but now that the mana protector was broken, he didn't dare to guarantee that Hawkins did not have a similar way to break his mana.
It's a pretty bad feeling.
It's like playing a game with the shield on, but the enemy's attack is real damage, and you can ignore the shield and deal massive damage.
"Captain, how did you do that?" asked Mark.
Hawkins glanced at Mark and smiled, "What do you think the most terrifying attack should look like?"
"The most terrible attack? Mark thought for a moment, then shook his head.
He had actually thought about a sea monster-like attack, and he had once seen a super giant sea monster thousands of meters high, just turning over and destroying a fleet.
But he felt that Hawkins certainly disagreed with the answer.
Hawkins looked at the corpses on the ship and said lightly: "Don't you think the invisible but deadly attack is the most terrifying?"
"Invisible and deadly...... Truly scary. Mark pondered for a moment and nodded in agreement.
Compared to the visible attack of the sea monster, in terms of horror, it is still the invisible deadly attack that is more terrifying and terrifying.
He was in awe of Hawkins now, because the five bodies on the ship had died so strangely.
Hawkins laughed, "Mark, if I'm not mistaken, you should be able to touch the cursed relic without being cursed, right?"
"Yes, but it's actually very dangerous, like this meteor hammer, I can only hold on for a minute at most, and after a minute, the mana will be exhausted. Mark glanced at the meteor hammer in the big fat man's hand and didn't deny it.
Hawkins speculated: "In other words, the mana power can cancel the curse of the cursed relic to a certain extent, but the more dangerous the cursed relic, the more mana power it needs to be consumed to touch it." ”
"That's right. Mark replied a little helplessly, vaguely guessing what Hawkins was thinking.
Hawkins looked at Mark and smiled, "That'...... I'm sorry for you. ”
"Alas, captain, I regret it a little, this salary is really not easy to get. Mark sighed bitterly.
Hawkins had just saved his life, and he was also in awe of Hawkins' mysterious powers, although it would be dangerous to touch the cursed relic, he still consciously walked towards the scarface woman.
In a moment, he confirmed that the ring in Scarface's hand was a cursed relic.
"The ability of this ring should be to track prey, because I haven't used it, so the curse can't be determined, but from the degree to which the ring consumes my mana, it can be inferred that it should be a good-level relic. ”
Mark took off the ring on the scar-faced woman's finger and made a judgment after about half a minute of getting started.
Then he walked over to one of the men, and in a moment removed one of the men's eyeballs.
It's a prosthetic eye.
On the back of the pupil of the false eye, there is a pattern of a red six-pointed star, and the lines are faintly flowing with red light.
Mark pondered for a moment and said: "The ability of this prosthetic eye should be identification or something, but the conditions for use are more harsh, you must remove your own eyeball and install it in the eye socket before it can be used, and it is also impossible to determine the curse, but it should also be a good-grade relic." ”
Later, Mark confirmed the effects of the other two cursed relics, leaving only the Meteor Hammer untouched.
The team has a wide range of abilities, including a prosthetic eye that identifies the effects of an enemy's relic, a ring that locks on to the enemy's location, a tooth necklace that transforms the wielder into a crocodile, and a wooden cane that can manipulate the roots.
The four relics contain functions such as intelligence gathering, melee attacks, and interference defense, plus the big fat man's meteor hammer, and there are no loopholes in the range.
Mark glanced at the big fat man, exhaled a long breath, and said with a wry smile: "This team is very dangerous, if I am alone, I am afraid that I will definitely die under the surprise attack of this team." ”
"Don't you look at the meteor hammer?" suggested Hawkins, leaning his arms around his chest on the edge of the boat, smiling.
Mark hurriedly shook his hand and refused: "No, no, no, that thing can't be touched, it's definitely a cursed relic above the fierce level, and it's infinitely close to death, it's too dangerous." ”
He had a lingering fear of the Meteor Hammer.
The cursed power inside the Meteor Hammer was like a gushing volcano, in fact, he already knew the effect of this cursed relic when he just jumped to defend it.
The explosion and the updraft are enough to blow all matter away, which is extremely domineering.
This kind of extremely aggressive curse relic often carries an extremely cool curse effect, and Mark doesn't want to touch it at all.
However, he was also a little curious as to why the fat man was able to use such a cursed relic without dying.
He walked over to the big fat man and squatted down, carefully groped the big fat man's body, and then uncovered the big fat man's clothes. On the chest of the big fat man, a metal ring is set in the flesh, and in the center of the ring is a colorful gemstone.
"Zhen Qi Stone!"
Mark looked at the gem in surprise.
In an instant, he understood why the big fat man had not died under the curse of the Meteor Hammer.
The Stone has a suppressive effect on the cursed relics, and although it cannot completely make the curse disappear, it can reduce some of it.
However, it should not be enough to rely on the Zhen Qi Stone.
Mark rummaged through the fat man's clothes again, but found nothing else.
"This is the Zhen Qi Stone?"
At this time, Hawkins walked up to Mark and looked at the gem on the ring on the fat man's chest, his eyes full of curiosity.
This gemstone is not crystal clear or transparent, but it is very special, its surface is made up of dozens of colors, and it is gathered in a spiral gradient in the very center, where it is a small black dot.
Hawkins tried to look at it from different angles and found that the small black dot was infinitely similar to a black hole.
If it is a natural formation, it is definitely the most magnificent gemstone in nature.
