After a full morning of commotion, order on the Windless seemed to have returned to normal.

In the midst of this brief and unspeakable chaos, the scholar Leger from the Duchy of Boult and his assistants and apprentices disappeared for some time, while a member of the Dwarven Mission was killed, and the vast majority of the ship's passengers were only aware of what was happening, but were unable to understand the exact process and development.

After thinking and reminiscing, the passengers were surprised to find that the incident on the Windless seemed to be related to the young "legend" once again, but when they tried to find Shog Ernst of the Dawn Society, they found that he was nowhere to be found.

Of course, ordinary people can't find him now.

Realizing the complexity of the problem, Shug returned to the ship's Judicial Committee laboratory with some of the flesh samples collected in the cabin, and all of his important belongings had been transferred there, including, of course, the huge kettle containing "Justina".

Although there were many passengers on the Windless, there were really not many people among them who could be called magicians, and even fewer people who had enough research on magical creatures, and after some transfers, only six or seven people were summoned by the legal committee, and among them there was even an elven scholar who had not figured out the situation at all.

In the coming time, Shuge hopes that they will be able to find some important clues from the remains of the deformed crayfish and a few "skin bugs".

In the face of these strange beings, who are completely unfamiliar and have a huge gap with the lives in Vann's existing system, the unassuming and disgraceful scholar Legel took the initiative to stand up.

Yes, Leger was also counted among them.

This is the result of Xiuge's strong demand.

Despite Leger's poor image in the eyes of the public and his questionable academic ability, Schuger believes that since Leger was able to wash himself off the blacklist of Merlin Lehe with his academic achievements and directly win the invitation, it means that his personal ability has been recognized by the Legislative Committee.

In this case, as long as you make sure that this guy is not connected to the Black Sun Association, you can use it with confidence.

In the face of the somewhat hard-line "invitation" from Xiuge and the Law Committee, Leger was still very resistant, after all, he felt that he had just suffered extremely unfair treatment.

However, when he saw with his own eyes the bizarre corpses kept in containers and the "skin worms" crawling in the alchemy tank, all his dissatisfaction vanished.

As the scholars begin to try to advance their arduous tasks, Shug locks himself in the laboratory with a portion of the blood of the crayfish.

Faced with this strange atmosphere and the seemingly urgent situation, Xiuge did not hesitate, he immediately forced himself to hypnotize himself with magic power, and entered the dream shelter.

However, he did not find Theseus inside the shelter at all.

The desk occupied by Theseus was empty, and the computer he used to play games was rarely shut down, and there was no point left for messages and prompts.

It seems that this guy is "out" again, and this time Theseus seems to be in a more hurry than the last time, and before that there was not even half a warning at all.

Seeking external forces and shortcuts to no avail, but Xiuge did not feel disappointed, because in his expectation, in the face of this situation, Theseus probably would not give any help other than verbal, and if he wanted to solve the problem, he had to find his own way after all.

So, after breaking away from the dream, Huge took out the "Colour of Life" that he had intended to feed to "Justina", and he was going to compare these samples in detail to confirm the differences between them.

The lid of the huge kettle was slowly lifted.

Then, "Justina", which had grown a lot larger than before, slowly came out.

It looked curiously at the unfamiliar surroundings around it, then curled into a ball on an empty chair next to it, and began to quietly observe Xiuge's every move.

And when Shug began to try to extract the blood of the deformed crayfish, he felt a deep sense of curiosity and longing through the magical connection between himself and "Justina".

In the face of his "father", who has always doted on him, this honest child did not hide his true thoughts.

Although it is now smart enough, it still can't understand the somewhat complicated vocabulary of "test sample", so when it judges these things, it still instinctively uses "can eat" and "can't eat" as the most basic criteria.

Of course, "Justina" could not get a positive answer from Xiuge, and no matter how accustomed Xiuge was to it before, it was absolutely impossible for him to pour this important blood into his "mouth" now.

However, "Justina"'s reaction also made Xiuge realize that the blood in front of him and "Luster of Life" were indeed highly similar in basic nature, and only in this way would "Justina" show such a clear desire for these bloods.

In order to ensure that the process of the experiment did not go wrong, the power of the messenger in the mirror was directly called up by Xiuge, and a deep black mask appeared in the palm of his hand, and as the mask touched his face, the cold magic immediately pulled and kneaded Xiuge's body into a strange appearance.

This is a Dharma Council mage who once studied in Merlinle, and was devoured and killed by the Descendants of the Abyss in the city of Seren.

Although his personal strength is very ordinary, he has a good performance in magic experiments when he is studying, and this kind of memory and ability just meets Xiuge's current needs.

Then, Xiuge gave the movements in his hands to the inexplicable habits and instincts.

"Justina", who stayed on the sidelines, watched Xiuge's every move curiously, it did not judge its identity by its appearance and body shape, it was closely related to Xiuge, it knew very well that its "father" was still in front of him, but he had changed a set of appearances that did not have much meaning.

It watched as Shuge expertly separated a portion of the blood of the deformed crayfish and poured it into a clean, alchemical solution.

This solution is the base of most magical experiments, and it has been specially processed by healing mages, so this clear liquid can often maintain the activity of blood, organs, and even biological fragments placed in it, and even some special magical biological tissues will be restored to a considerable degree after being placed in them.

And the blood that Shuge is now dealing with seems to be of this type.

After a part of the blood fell into it, the characteristic psychedelic color began to spread rapidly in these clear liquids, and the appearance was like thick ink dripping into clear water, except that the blood did not quickly infect the alchemy solution into a turbid appearance, but took on a different form.

Sugg was surprised to find that these special blood were still relatively condensed in the solution, and they seemed to be reluctant to leave each other, and still maintained a "connection" with each other.

Sensing this peculiarity, a deep magic power immediately flooded into Xiuge's eyes, turning his pupils into a thick black mist.

In the magical vision, Xiuge found that the blood that had been successfully activated remained consistent in the fluctuation of power, as if they had a breath or a heartbeat, constantly releasing or recovering their own power at a certain steady frequency, and in the process, their size began to grow at a slow rate.

Subsequently, a little pure "color of life" was extracted by Xiuge, and he hoped to be able to compare the two substances.

The results were beyond Xiuge's expectations.

The power contained in the "Colour of Life" is much more abundant than the blood of the deformed crayfish, but strangely, when they are placed in the alchemical solution, they spread out as quickly as the most ordinary liquid, and they are evenly dispersed in all the solutions, giving them a faint psychedelic color.

"It seems that the nature of the two is similar, but the former behaves more like a definite life, while the latter is more neutral and does not possess any pure power of will or instinct?"

Xiuge speculated silently in his heart, and then directly began the test of "feeding" and "stimulation".

He was even more surprised by the results of this series of tests.

He found that those blood really had the ability to swallow, digest, and grow, and they reacted very distinctly to the fragments of magic and magic crystals, and under the stimulation of these external forces, the blood that had only been a few drops had actually increased definitely, and its size had more than doubled.

In the face of the devastating abyssal magic, they were extremely resistant, and before the handful of magic of Xiuge could get closer, the colors sank directly to the bottom of the solution.

And when Xiuge took the fresh fish that had been prepared in advance and threw it into the solution, these strange colors spontaneously gathered and adhered to the surface of the minced fish.

Correspondingly, the "color of life" does not respond to these temptations.

It didn't take long for Shuge to fetch some special "food".

It was a few tiny live cyanobacteria shrimp, which were originally special "food" prepared by the Leger scholars for the several magical fish they had brought with them, and these cyanobacteria shrimp were so energetic that they were still alive even after changing the environment twice.

After making preparations, the two cyanobacteria shrimp were thrown into their own "new world".

The cyanobacteria shrimp mixed with the "Color of Life" solution became extremely active, and under the vision of the magic, Xiuge noticed that the "Color of Life" in the solution seemed to have a certain reaction to the living life, and they actively attached themselves to the direction of the cyanobacteria shrimp, but it was obvious that the power that this cyanobacteria shrimp could carry was extremely limited, so soon, the "Color of Life" in the solution tended to stop.

On the other hand, those psychedelic colors that have a clear reaction to magic and flesh and blood gave up the previous minced fish and flesh for the first time, and surrounded their "target", under the gaze of Xiuge, these strange forces finally entangled the cyanobacteria shrimp, and then began to "invade" its body.

It was also when this process was initiated, the "Justina" on the side made a rare slight noise.

It became alert, and the object of its vigilance was the experimental sample in front of Xiuge!

The blue-green algae shrimp, which was only the size of a finger, soon disappeared under the invasion of external forces, but it did not die, and Xiuge saw that those weak forces were entanglement and merging with the body of this cyanobacteria shrimp, and he could even see these colors flowing rapidly in the small body through his magical vision.

Immediately after that, the distortion began.

Cyanobacteria shrimp like to gnaw on seaweed, they don't have too obvious chelicerae, and their body is quite slender, but under the effect of this force, Xiuge saw that its two tentacles began to extend forward, and the process was very violent, and it was obviously accompanied by the tearing and repair of the limbs.

Its body began to become broader, and under the nourishment of the strange vitality, the seemingly thin and brittle translucent carapace began to become thicker and stronger, and the color that Xiuge had seen in the deformed crayfish also slowly emerged on these carapaces.

What's even weirder is its head.

The eyes of the cyanobacteria shrimp had almost completely degenerated, but now, the two little eyes that had little meaning had begun to evolve under the influence of this force, and they began to enlarge, protruding from the sides of their heads like inflated balls, and pushing outwards with all their might.

Finally, the two pitch-black eyeballs had color in them.

The psychedelic light and shadow flowed into it and spun rapidly, and then the much-enlarged cyanobacteria shrimp swayed, and it raised its head and began to observe the outside world.

However, just when Xiuge thought that it was about to undergo more changes, the two huge eyeballs suddenly turned in the direction of Xiuge, and the moment these eyes made of flowing light came into contact with Xiuge, the creature floating in the solution began to tremble violently, its newly shaped body made a few crisp sounds, and a large number of cracks spontaneously appeared on the carapace.

However, in the next moment, several soft tentacles made of black mist shadows suddenly stretched out, and the abyssal mist, which could suppress and bind the power of the "Color of Life", surged out, trapping the cyanobacteria shrimp in the container in an instant.

With a keen touch of Calron, Shuge could clearly feel that the blue-green shrimp, which was clearly conscious, was beating and trembling violently, but it had no way to mobilize its own strength to end its own life.

At this moment, a smile appeared on Xiuge's face.

"Finally caught...... Why, do you want to die again? ”
