Chapter 922: The Black Tide Monster Appears Ahead of Time
Maria stepped forward and stood in front of Thor. “Before the Black Tide officially arrives, sporadic Black Tide monsters will indeed appear. This is different from the Red Sea.”
As she spoke, the rotten goat monster had already rushed in front of Maria. Maria crossed her hands in front of her chest and uttered an unclear scale from her mouth.
Then a huge cross-shaped flame suddenly burst out from in front of her arms.
The rotten goat ran into the flames, but the flames did not disperse. Instead, they bent the flames and tied up the monster.
Four matches suddenly wrapped the rotten goat into a ball, then tightened again, cutting into its flesh.
Maria raised her hand and released a witchcraft scroll. The scroll burned in the air and turned into a sharp arrow, piercing the rotten goat wrapped in flames from the center of the head to the base of the tail.
Then the rotten goat that had been roaring silently just now suddenly wilted and turned into ashes in the flames.
Ashes fell from the gaps in the flames, among which was a grayish-white bone the size of a palm.
Maria's eyes lit up and she rushed down immediately.
She caught the bone near the sea surface, but at this moment, a huge circular shadow suddenly appeared below the sea surface.
The shadow appeared silently, and Maria's attention was all on her spoils, and she didn't pay any attention to her feet.
When Maria approached the sea, the shadow suddenly emerged from under the sea, and it turned out to be a big mouth with a circle of sharp teeth!
Maria only reacted when the monster jumped out of the sea, and immediately prepared to escape upwards while releasing the protective shield.
However, when she was so nervous that she had no time to think about Thor above her, a large amount of black objects suddenly fell from her body.
It was as if a black rainstorm had fallen.
“Aaaaaah!”
The big mouth on the sea surface immediately let out a wail, and a fishy gas spewed out of its throat, directly causing Maria to stagger.
She had just steadied her body in the air and looked down, only to see that the huge mouth that had just attempted to ambush her was now riddled with holes.
The sea water rushed up through the holes in the wound. The big-mouthed monster was sinking, and columns of water emerged from its mouth, somewhat like the fountains in the small square.
As the monster sank, the water column gathered into a puddle and finally merged into the deep blue sea.
Maria looked up at Thor, and seeing that he didn't move, she immediately jumped into the sea, circled around the sinking monster before drying her body and returning to Thor.
There was a hint of shock and admiration in the smile on her face. She handed the gray-white bone in her hand to Thor and said, "The big-mouthed fish just now didn't have a gray bone. This one is for you. Without you, even if I could escape, I would definitely not be able to save it."
Thor took the gray skeletal remains without false politeness.
This gray-white skeleton is similar to the white-bone monster that Thor got in the Chaos Domain. It contains a small amount of black tide pollution, and the erosion feeling that tries to soak into your body and penetrate into your brain along the skin lines is extremely obvious.
But it was also this undisguised offensiveness that made Thor, who came into contact with it, immediately launch a defense.
However, the pollution here is not as serious as the bone monsters brought in from the Chaos Realm.
"This monster is half-rotten, the Chaos Realm is made of white bones, and the world outside the Chaos Realm is filled with gray-white bones. Is there a progressive relationship between them?"
Thor was thinking with his head down. Maria didn't know what he was thinking and thought he was using his mental power to study the gray bones.
She enthusiastically introduced Thor, "This kind of gray bone can be said to be a specialty of the Wall of Sighs. Some can also be collected in the southeastern waters of Nephrite, but the quantity and size cannot be compared with those produced by the monsters here. Don't underestimate it because there is a small amount of pollution on it. But through special methods, it can be made into a potion that is resistant to black tide pollution. So every time we fight this kind of monster, we will pay attention to whether there is this kind of gray bone inside the corpse."
"You can actually make a potion to resist pollution? Does this mean there must be an antidote near the poison?"
"I haven't heard of this, but it's very similar to what you said. A wizard once tried to transform his body into a form similar to ash bones to fight against the pollution of the black tide, but in the end he failed and turned into a monster." Maria paused, "I killed him with my own hands."
Looking at the gray bones in his hand, Thor suddenly remembered that his bones had turned black due to the black tide.
Is this a kind of alienation of the gray bones? When the gray bones are defeated by the black tide, they will completely rot and turn into a white bone monster. If they are affected by the Eye of the Abyss, will they become an anchor point? But if the gray bones withstand the pollution and have "resistance", will they eventually become Thor's black skeleton? "No wonder he wanted to take one of my arms." Thor murmured in a low voice, "I'm afraid Flim's real target was not my second-transformed soul-eating ester, but my bones."
Seeing that Maria was still looking at him, Thor put away the gray bone and said, "Thank you. I am really interested in this gray bone. When I encounter the black tide monster in the future, I will return one to you after I get the gray bone."
Maria smiled generously, with wrinkles appearing at the corners of her eyes. "No, no, I can collect a lot more when the black tide invades. This is to thank you for your help just now. How can I ask you to pay it back?"
The wizards at the Wall of Sighs all seem to be quite generous. Could it be that Murphy's way of distributing resources based on merit has led to the way everyone gets along now?
Of course, it could also be that they need help from Thor, so they act very generously and kindly.
No matter where this goodwill came from, it didn't have much impact on Thor. He advocated equal exchange, and once the theory of causality came out, he didn't believe that many people would dare to break their promise to him.
After dealing with the monster, the two prepared to continue on their way, but before leaving, Thor discovered that Maria had made a mark on the location where the big-headed monster fish had just sank.
"Do you still salvage monster corpses?"
Maria shook her head. "Normally not. But the monster just now was very powerful. Normally such a powerful monster would not appear before the black tide hits. Even if they appear, they will be intercepted by the wizard towers in front. I just don't understand why it can sneak in here. After sending you there, I will investigate again. There are many second-level wizards in the back. It would be too dangerous if they encounter the big-headed monster fish."
It seems that this itinerant wizard is quite dedicated to his work.
Thor did not waste any more time. The two flew quickly over the stormy sea. After more than ten minutes, they finally saw the wizard tower belonging to Mentor Gorza.
"It's right over there. The farthest one is Lord Gorza's wizard tower." Maria said, pointing ahead.
She stopped here, obviously not wanting to see Thor off.
Thor looked over and found that there were almost no other wizard towers near that wizard tower.
It is a lonely tower deep in the storm sea.
When he just came over, he could only vaguely see another wizard tower at the side and rear.
Thor also stopped and turned to ask Maria, "Do you need to ask Teacher Gorza if he noticed the big-headed fish?"
"Uh, no thanks. I'd better investigate first. Once I understand clearly, I'll ask Lord Gorza if necessary." Maria waved her hand quickly, "It's not good to disturb Lord Gorza without knowing anything."
