Chapter 303: Underwater Bones
Finally, the hard work paid off, and at a depth of 150 meters, he discovered the anomaly.
In the direction facing the Pacific Ocean, the volcanic rocks here are piled up in the shape of an eaves, forming a depression more than ten meters deep and hundreds of meters long under the "eaves", in which a large number of animal bones are piled up!
The bones are of a variety of species, including fish, shellfish, and some of them resemble sea beasts, ranging from small ones the size of a palm to large ones tens of meters long. The bones are all very intact and have apparently remained here after death, never disturbed.
The bones are clinging to the walls of the mountains and are tightly covered by the "eaves" above, making them difficult to spot from above, and they are motionless under the impact of the currents.
After discovering these bones, Tian Xu let Ziyan enter the Medicine King Bucket as soon as possible, and he himself swam out a hundred meters away at once. It was so weird that he didn't know how these creatures died here, and he was afraid that he would be tricked too.
He wandered around the neighborhood for a while, but he didn't notice anything unusual about the environment, and everything was calm as if there was no danger at all. But as soon as he came within fifty meters of these bones, the creepy feeling would completely envelop him, and he would not dare to go any closer.
After not discovering it, Tian Xu took the courage, approached these bones, stretched the spiritual realm to the bones, and when he barely touched the bones of a small animal like an otter with a body of less than one meter, he ingested it.
Despite his caution, nothing out of the ordinary happened, and the skeleton was controlled by his mental realm and came to him. Tian Xu didn't have time to take a closer look, so he directly put this thing into the Medicine King Bucket, and after swimming a few hundred meters at once, he also entered the Medicine King Bucket.
Inside the Medicine King Bucket, Tian Xu carefully inspected the skeleton. Intuitively, this should be an otter-like animal, but it seems to be larger than the average otter, and the total length should be more than one meter three if you count the large tail. It was just strange to him that otters were freshwater animals, and the sea otters they lived in the ocean had obvious differences between their hind legs and freshwater otters, and the hind limbs of this animal did not become fins like sea otters, but still had claws.
Another thing that makes this animal different from both otters and sea otters is its tail. The bones on the animal's tail differ from that of an otter, with long, flattened wing bones sticking out on both sides of the extended vertebrae, making its tail a fan-like piece.
Tian Xu was able to understand the meaning of the existence of this tail, which was obviously conducive to its swimming in the sea. In this way, it should be a different species from the current marine life. There is another possibility: this is a monster.
Tian Xu has seen a lot of magical beasts. The vast majority of Warcraft are similar to some kind of animal on Earth, and people have given them names based on this. But there are still big differences between Warcraft and the creatures on Earth, whether it is the appearance or bones, or some of their special abilities, they are different from similar Earth creatures. If this animal is a magical beast, then it makes sense that it is different from an otter.
It is very simple to judge whether a living animal is a demonic beast, Tian Xu's olfactory imaging and demonic beast spectrum can distinguish the unique "demonic energy" on the demonic beast, this demonic energy not only exists in the demonic beast, but also in the demonic cultivator, it is easy to distinguish.
But this animal has been dead for countless years, and the flesh and bones and spiritual energy on its body have been lost, and there is no demonic energy left, and he can no longer judge according to the previous method. However, the characteristics of demonic beasts are not only demonic energy, they also have special marks on their bones.
Low-level demonic beasts do not have golden pills, but have a special crystal bone on their heads. Even if they have cultivated the Golden Pill, or even a sixth-level or higher demonic beast that has survived the thunderstorm and changed their aura body, there will be times when they are young, and they will also cultivate step by step from low-level demonic beasts. In this regard, they are very similar to human cultivators.
The magical beasts that are usually encountered, it seems that each of them has a basically fixed level, because they will basically hide before they reach a high level, and they can cultivate to the highest level they can reach in a relatively short period of time.
The animal in front of him, since it left a skeleton, then it definitely did not reach the level of level six or above, if it was a demonic beast, there would be crystal bones or traces left on the skeleton.
Tian Xu's spiritual realm was concentrated on the head of the bones, and before he could react, Dan Ling had already preemptively said, "It's a demonic beast!"
The crystal bone of this demonic beast is no longer there, but there is still a round dimple on the skull that the original crystal bone grew, which is very obvious. Looking at the size of the dimple, the crystal bone of this demonic beast should be the size of a marble, compared to this kind of stingy demonic beast, it is already very large, it seems that the level of this demonic beast will not be too low, at least it should be a strong one in the third level, and it may even be a fourth- or fifth-level demonic beast.
Tian Xu studied the skeleton for a while, but found nothing special, and this skeleton didn't seem to have any special use.
Since it was useless, with a wave of his hand, he threw the skeleton outside the Medicine King Bucket, leaving it here to occupy a place in vain, and it could not be regarded as a work of art.
Unexpectedly, the skeleton only flew out halfway, and then flew back and landed at the foot of the hundred grass whip mountain. The figure of Medicine King Dou then appeared, and said to Tian Xu: "Although this bone does not have any aura, it seems that it can replenish a few of us with some vitality, so stay here." ”
Tian Xu didn't expect this thing to be of such use, and asked, "Isn't it only the living demonic beasts and the flesh and blood of the demonic beasts that can replenish the vitality?
Medicine King Dou said: "The vitality of the demonic beast is found in all parts of the body, but the golden pill, crystal bone and bone are the most abundant. Although this skeleton does not have Jin Dan and crystal bones, the bones are still there, and the effect is not small. ”
She glanced at Tian Xu, who was full of confusion, and explained: "You see, after the death of the demonic beast, the flesh and blood will first dissipate, then the aura, and the last remaining bones will be retained for at least hundreds of thousands of years, which shows the richness of the vitality in it. This skeleton has a history of tens of thousands of years, and the vitality in it is still abundant, and the realm before its death should be very high, and when it died, the bones were not destroyed at all, so the vitality in such bones is even less likely to be lost. It's just that this demonic beast doesn't know what kind of master it was killed, and the skeleton was not damaged at all, which is quite not easy. ”
Tian Xu heard Yao Wang Dou say this, and asked curiously, "How do you know that this demonic beast was endangered and not died of natural causes?"
Medicine King Dou said: "The vitality in this skeleton is abundant, and it should have been killed when the body was very strong. If it is a natural old age, the vitality in the body has been lost a lot before death, and there will definitely be nothing left by now. ”
Seeing the Medicine King Dou, Tian Xu couldn't help but ask her for advice: "On the top of the submarine volcano outside, there is a groove, and the skeleton of this demonic beast was found there. In addition to this, there are many animal skeletons there, but I don't know if those are all monsters. There was a very strong spiritual pressure under the volcano, which gave me a very dangerous feeling, so I didn't dare to approach it, and I didn't know what kind of place it was. ”
Hearing what Tian Xu said, Yao Wang Dou was also curious: "Listen to what you said, this place seems to be a demonic beast graveyard, is there any formation to attack demonic beasts nearby, or some powerful magic weapon or something? Otherwise, so many demonic beasts should not be allowed to die here." Forget it, I'll see for myself. ”
Medicine King Dou was distracted for a moment, and then said to Tian Xu: "This should be a formation. I don't know much about the formations, so I probably won't help you much. However, there should be no attack power on you here, this formation should be able to tell whether it is a demon cultivator, a demonic beast, or a native cultivator of the earth, as long as you don't attack it, it shouldn't take the initiative to attack you. You can take a look at it, and if you can, you can take in all the skeletons, and I can't do it here. ”
After listening to Yao Wang Dou's words, Tian Xu went out again and took a closer look at those skeletons. Those skeletons have crystal bone remnants of pits on their heads, and they should all be demonic beasts. It's just that since these skeletons are left, then these demonic beasts should all be below level six, and I don't know if the power of this formation can only kill demonic beasts below level six.
At this time, his heart moved, but Dan Ling once again preemptively said: "Boss, are you really stupid or fake stupid? Demonic beasts above level 6 are all spiritual qi bodies, how can there be skeletons left?"
Tian Xu ignored the increasingly talkative Dan Ling, swam close to the "eaves" on the mountain, and used the spiritual realm to drag out a skeleton and put it into the Medicine King Bucket. The bones were all very well preserved, and there was basically no damage at all. Tian Xu carefully carried them, taking care not to damage them, and he guessed that there might be a special discovery here.
When he carried about a third of the way, Tian Xu found that the more the skeleton was inside, the bigger the crystal bone depression on his head, indicating that the strength of this demonic beast was also stronger. It seems that the Warcraft that were killed here in the early stage should be stronger than the later ones.
