Chapter 297: Anatomy

"Despicable insects and ants hidden in a conspiracy...... Are you ready to betray us a second time? ”

The moment he successfully understood the meaning of that passage, a familiar figure in a black dress naturally appeared in Xiuge's mind.

He knew that the words that had been passed on through the deformed strange fish were probably aimed at the strange god who bore the name of "conspiracy".

The reason why Xiuge has such judgments and associations is not entirely intuitive, but from reasonable speculations and associations.

Although most of the information he had received before was very fragmentary, there were several very special points that were confirmed, among which Theseus's bias and choice between the ancient gods and the "inferior clans" such as humans and elves were very clear, not to mention, the special existence of the goddess Mel was added in between.

Since Theseus was willing to call a leader of a "lowly family" a mentor, his role and role in the withdrawal of the ancient gods from the Vane stage is intriguing.

At this time, Xiuge couldn't help but think of another very important doubt.

Through the many messages he received in the dream shelter and the meeting before the Black Sun Society, Xiuge was basically certain that in that distant ancient era, the god who controlled the Van En Sea should be the "Karjon".

Strangely enough, however, he was unable to find any information about the ancient deity other than the "Touch of Calron" in his possession, as if it had completely disappeared into the Van'n.

Even more intriguing are the names of the gods that Goddess Mel possessed after she successfully banished the ancient gods and established a new order.

Xiuge remembers it very well.

In the most orthodox and ancient legend of Van'n, the sea is also an important jurisdiction of the goddess Mel, and it is from this that the sea of Sinar, which connects all things in the world, and the analogy between magic and water.

"There must be some important secrets in this...... Perhaps, that Calron, who once ruled the seas, was the first ancient god to be officially defeated and banished? ”

As he walked, Shuge speculated wildly: "So, now that the visions in the ocean are beginning to revivenation, does this mean that the once expelled gods are regaining their influence little by little and trying to launch a 'revenge'?" ”

"And it seems that their target is probably not only the many races and nations that are now in the control of Vann, but also the leader who defeated them and the ...... who followed him Someone. ”

"But you're looking for Theseus, what's the matter with me?"

Xiuge cursed in his heart, and pouted at the same time.

Although he didn't get a positive confirmation from Theseus, he could probably guess that the reason why the mutant parrotfish said this to himself was most likely because the other party had detected traces related to Theseus on his body, either the power of the Abyss Court or the summoned Touch of Calon......

In short, as a former member of the Abyss Court, Theseus must have done an extremely good and in-depth job of "gathering wool", and Xiuge didn't need to think about it to know that some of this guy's actions must have caused extremely serious damage to those ancient existences.

While she was thinking about it, Verin ahead had caught up with the sailors who had fought the strange fish on the dock before.

They were also praised by their companions for their heroic actions just now, however, in the face of Wei Lin's inquiry, they could only stop their bragging.

As soon as Verin began to ask questions, her mage's hand flew out and began to take note of the spellbook, a battle that forced the sailors to take a serious attitude and begin to seriously describe what had happened before the two of them arrived at the docks.

Verine asked very carefully, including the bait used by the sailors, the depth at which the bait was hung, the location chosen, and the whole process of the parrotfish from the temptation to the net, and not only that, but she also specifically asked about the actions taken by the freak fish as it struggled.

After a few moments, she ended her questioning, and then walked to Xiuge's side with the magic book in her hand.

"It's a lot of fun......

"Judging from their descriptions, the way this fish behaves is actually closer to that of ordinary beasts of prey who are desperate for food, and the sailors just use some ordinary fish bait mixed with some fish scraps left over from the kitchen that no one needs...... Even the traps set are very conventional. ”

She closed the magic book: "By all indications, this strange fish is actually following its instincts, it is not the same as the monsters you have encountered before, and although its flesh has undergone serious changes, it has not been able to jump out of its original category. ”

"As for the changes it has shown since encountering us, I personally think it is more like the passive reaction of the forces within it when it senses danger."

Wei Lin closed the magic book: "For more details, let's wait until we get to the laboratory to verify it...... However, I have a hunch that this experiment will not be pleasant. ”

Shug shrugged: "At least we need to close our sense of smell. ”

"Hmmm......"

Verin nodded in agreement, and then she couldn't help but lift her sleeve and sniff it gently.

In the previous fight, a lot of water splashed out, and Wei Lin's body was naturally inevitably stained with some, perhaps because of the strange fish, the smell of these seawater residues was very bad, which made Wei Lin, who had just taken a shower and changed into new clothes, very dissatisfied.

……

It didn't take long for the two of them to successfully reach the Dawn Society's laboratory set up at the edge of the dock with the team transporting parrotfish.

It used to be a workshop for the maintenance of small fishing boats, but it has now been renovated.

And Xiuge had just walked in when he caught a glimpse of one of his "old acquaintances".

Gerald's size is so exaggerated that he will stand out from any ordinary person.

Even the amazingly sized parrotfish in front of him seemed to be so small.

Strange to say, everyone else who survived the Seoreen Massacre would have become emaciated, but Gerald had become stronger, as if he had been inflated.

Needless to say, this guy has also officially joined the Dawn Society under the recommendation of Felix and others, but the Dawn Society has not been able to customize matching clothes for this big man for a while, so Gerard is wearing a strange robe made of two sheets, and a coat symbolizing the identity of the Dawn Society is casually hung on his chest, which makes him look very funny.

Of course, Xiuge was too lazy to be polite to this guy, he stepped forward and gently hammered Gerald's huge body with his fist, and then asked, "It seems, you are in charge of the laboratory now?" ”

"Ah...... In fact, I am mainly in charge of the procurement, management and statistics of alchemy commodities, and there is a temporary shortage of people in the laboratory, so Mr. Darswell asked me to take care of it temporarily. ”

Gerard was clearly very satisfied with his current life, and he was talking and laughing, his eyes almost clenched to see, but when he saw the parrotfish blocked by the frost, and Viline standing nearby, he immediately became serious again.

After nodding cautiously to Verin, Gerald leaned over to Shug, lowered his voice, and said, "It doesn't look like it's something you can 'eat'." ”

When he said the word "eat", Gerald specifically accentuated his tone, as if he meant something.

It was impossible to get someone with ogre blood to whisper, so Verin noticed something strange for the first time, and she glanced in the direction of Shug and Gerald, her eyes full of confusion, but after thinking about it, Gerald seemed to have no problem with what she said, so she lowered her head again.

Shug couldn't help but roll his eyes at Gerald.

Of course he knew what that meant.

Because in one of his past works, there were similar hints, but the scene depicted in the work was completely different from the current one, and I don't know how Gerald managed to say something while looking at such a disgusting monster.

Xiuge sorted out his expression and said to Gerald: "Let's prepare first, this thing's vitality is very tenacious, I'm sure it's not dead yet...... Do everything you need to do. ”

Then he turned to the apprentice healer, who had been so shocked by the monster in front of him that he could not speak: "Find our sailors and fishermen, and bring us some of the kind of nets they used before, maybe they will be of ...... Also, have the guards in charge of this place load their bullets, and if you can, bring two more machine guns, and say I'm going to use them, and Mr. Darthwell will agree. ”

"So serious?"

Gerard's series of arrangements surprised Gerald, so he quickly restrained his smile and began to arrange for the apprentices to make arrangements.

Soon, everything in the lab was ready to go.

Compared to the average magic lab, this makeshift lab is a little rough and rudimentary, but everything is in place, and it is more tense than the usual experimental scene, after all, in a normal laboratory, there are no weapons like heavy machine guns.

"Don't rush to dissect, do the normal observation process first......"

As one of the most professional scholars in the Dawn Society, Wei Lin took over the responsibility of presiding over and managing it as a matter of course, and she quickly checked the strength of the huge tank on which the Ritual Ritual had been imposed, and the stability of the ritual field applied to it, and after confirming that everything was correct, she instructed her apprentices to place the ice cube wrapped in the giant fish into the tank filled with seawater.

To be insured, the top of the sink is covered with two layers of specially treated tough fishing nets, which is the third layer of measures in addition to the sink and the protective ritual.

Of course, the Hug standing on the sidelines, and the heavy machine gun assuming to be in the rear, are the fourth and fifth layer measures.

At this time, Meyer, the core leader of the Dawn Society, also arrived at the scene, although the academic field he was proficient in was not related to magical creatures, he also wanted to take a serious look at what the distorted products spawned by the black sun really looked like.

Everything was ready, and the protective ritual fields began to operate, so that Vireen also cut off the supply of mana to those solid ices.

As the magic slowly faded, the ice soaked in the tank quickly dissipated, and as the restraint was reduced, the strange fish that looked like it had been frozen into an ice sculpture began to regain its vitality at an alarming rate, and under the bright light, the severely distorted parrotfish began to slowly twist its body, and this action easily broke the ice that covered its body.

Probably finding itself in a new cage, the parrotfish immediately began to struggle extremely violently, but where could it easily destroy the tank with multiple layers of protective rituals attached to it and the permanent treatment?

The people in the laboratory only heard loud noises, but no matter how much the monster fish struggled and slammed its body against this seemingly fragile transparent barrier, there was no way to bring about any change, and this violent move only made its head bleed.

Meyer on the side was shocked by this kind of picture and frowned, he was about to ask Xiuge if the fish would knock himself to death in the tank, but the next second he saw that the hideous wound on the top of the monster fish's head quickly secreted a dark yellow mucus, and then, under the action of these mucus, the cracked wound immediately healed.

During this process, Xiuge had been observing it with his magical vision, and then Xiuge was surprised to find that with the continuous secretion of that strange slime, his magical vision began to fail for the first time.

For some reason, when he used the Abyss Mist to fill his eyes, the body and body of the giant fish in front of him began to blur, and it seemed that the foul-smelling mucus secreted from its body seemed to have a natural restraining effect on the power from the Abyss Court.

As if feeling Xiuge's gaze, the giant fish suddenly stopped struggling, and then, under the gaze of everyone, a large number of hideous scars burst out from the side of its body, as if countless invisible hands were tearing at its body, and those scars gradually expanded, and finally it was as completely "opened" as "eyelids".

One could see that twisted flesh was churning through these wounds, and in the murky water, these strange lines looked like eyes......

Not all of those present were determined enough to have a strong mind, and as this ugly change progressed, some of the apprentices and soldiers soon became unable to hold on, feeling dizzy or retching......

However, among ordinary people, Meyer's performance is extremely special.

His face also turned a little pale, but he didn't react more, he didn't look away, he didn't retreat, he stood firmly in place.

It was as if the legs had been crucified to the ground.
