Si Xu's tone was very serious. "Please give orders immediately to seal off the places where those people have been, and isolate those who have left. Isolate all those who have come into contact with them, and bring them back here. If this pheromone spreads to the whole world, the situation will be out of control."
Si Xu and Croft did not guard against others in their conversation, and someone spoke up immediately.
"I think this is a waste of time, unless you can prove that your speculation is correct."
Si Xu looked at Croft, "Did you really not find any problems? They all fell into a coma due to poisoning."
Croft: "No obvious abnormalities were found during the autopsy, and no toxins were found."
Si Xu: "Have you found any unknown elements in the body of the deceased?"
This pheromone that only exists in the Demon Sea plane, even if it really invades the human body, they may not be able to detect it.
Krov hesitated, "There is no result yet."
The leader of Country M, Archer, raised the box in his hand, "We will know the details after we test it."
Si Xu said in a deep voice, "The pheromones in the blood are strong, it is best not to take the blood sample out of the town."
Archer raised his eyebrows, "I think you are scaremongering, we will use science to explain everything."
Lu Jiu suddenly spoke up, "You want to use science to explain all this now? Did science predict that the unknown energy crystal would explode? Did science predict that the earth would one day become what it is now?"
Archer looked over and saw only a pair of eyes under the gas mask, "Instead of asking these questions, I think you should learn international languages better."
Lu Jiu sneered, and simply stopped speaking international languages and used his native language directly.
"If you don't believe me, you can take the blood sample with you. What awaits you is a giant sea monster hunting gift package."
Everyone: "???"
Not everyone has a talent for languages. Unless they learn it on purpose, only a few people present can understand Z Mandarin. Even when the speed is slowed down, after Lu Jiu finished speaking, the few who could understand it didn't respond.
This is exactly what Lu Jiu wanted.
He really couldn't speak international languages well, so he might as well not speak them. If they wanted to understand, they could just find a translator.
Lu Jiu continued, "There is a sea monster king under the high seas. The reason why this town has become like this is because the people here ate the sea monster king's eggs. There are special pheromones in the eggs. We can't smell them, but the sea monster king can smell them. It will come here sooner or later.
If you don't believe it and still want evidence, you might as well search the town. The sea monster king's eggs are not small. Even if they are broken, there will be traces. That is where the pheromones are most concentrated."
Lu Jiu finished speaking and dragged Si Xu out the door. Gathering in the house would only make the smell of pheromones more contaminated.
Lu Jiu talked a lot, and his tone sounded very serious, but few people understood.
The people in the room asked those who could understand what he was saying. When those people stuttered and translated what Lu Jiu said into the international language, everyone's face changed.
They were frightened by the King of Sea Monsters and the news that the King of Sea Monsters would come looking for them.
Krove quickly chased out, and the others followed.
Clover caught up with Si Xu, "Captain Si, is what he said true? Does the King of Sea Monsters really exist?"
Si Xu: "Yes, we saw it with our own eyes. It is very huge. If it is allowed to go ashore, not only this town, but the entire F country and even the surrounding countries will suffer. If you have any doubts, you might as well send someone to the town to look for giant eggs or something like mucous membrane."
A sergeant who followed Clover whispered a few words to Clover, and Clover's face changed immediately.
Croft said, "When we were checking the town, we did find something. It was a sticky, turbid liquid in a bottle. At the time, my people thought it was the mucus of some mutated seafood. Could it be the eggs?"
Si Xu said, "What happened to the family that found the sticky liquid?"
Croft said solemnly, "Unfortunately, they are all dead."
Si Xu and Lu Jiu were almost certain that the liquid should have been taken out of the eggs, and the family should have really eaten it.
Seeing is believing, and everyone followed Croft to the house where the sticky liquid was found.
Standing outside the door and not yet entering, Si Xu frowned, "The fishy smell is too strong, exactly the same as the fishy smell emitted by the sleeper."
Everyone looked at each other, they didn't smell anything, only Si Xu smelled that fishy smell.
This made them nervous, if this pheromone really attracted giant sea monsters, wouldn't they all have this smell? The
scary thing is that they couldn't smell it!
Si Xu: "Let's go in and take a look. It's useless to retreat now. We are in this town and we are all stained with the smell of pheromones. Once the giant sea monster attacks, it will definitely target us."
The most anxious person at the scene is probably Croft. He should have thought that if the truth is really as Si Xu said, then all of them, and even the sleepers in the whole town, will not be able to escape unscathed.
If the king of sea monsters really relies on the smell of pheromones to retaliate, they can't escape anywhere, and they can only bring disaster to the whole world.
Croft took the lead in leading people in, followed by Si Xu and Lu Jiu, and then the others. Not everyone went in. There were still some people standing outside the door. They were already scared and didn't dare to get too close to the mucus to avoid getting more contaminated.
Croft's men took out the bottle from the refrigerator. The bottle was a turbid milky white. Without opening it, Si Xu could already smell the pungent fishy smell. He was almost certain that this was the liquid of the Seven-Star Blue Devil Egg.
Sure enough, after the system detection, it was confirmed that this was indeed the liquid inside the egg.
The real Seven-Star Blue Devil Egg is not small, and there must be more than this bottle. It would take more than one person to pull it out of the sea. There must be help. The most likely possibility is that the eggs were divided equally.
Si Xu could think of this, and Croft could think of it too. He asked people to pack up the bottles and take them away, and sent people to search the town carefully to find all the suspicious mucous membranes and similar liquids.
When there was no discovery, there were many directions to explore. Now that there is a result, we just need to reverse the process.
Soon the temporary research base had results. There were a large number of unknown elements in the mucus. The same unknown elements were also found in the bodies of dead comatose people, but in very small quantities. They would be overlooked if one was not careful. All kinds of evidence showed that Si Xu's speculation was correct.
With the evidence in front of him, Croft could not help but believe what Snar said. He reported the situation and requested that the person who handled it be quarantined and the testing agency be sealed off.
Croft's people found a lot of this mucus in the homes of residents in the town. Some were in bottles, barrels, and bags. The mucus was very scattered, but it was carefully found, even the discarded useless mucus membrane was found.
A circle of people surrounded the mucus membrane to observe. The mucus membrane was very thick, with a diameter of about 1.6 meters. The mucus membrane was damaged, so it could only be roughly evaluated, not accurately. For such a large egg, there must be more mucus inside than what was found. So where did the mucus that was not found go?
Everyone had the answer in their hearts: it was eaten.
Their faces all looked bad, and some people had already regretted coming to help. This was not help, this was directly putting themselves in danger.
Si Xu's face was solemn, "The amount of mucus is not enough. In addition to being eaten, there is another possibility."
Everyone's heart skipped a beat.
Yes, the mucus of an egg, in addition to being eaten, there may be a sea monster that has grown or not fully grown.
If this is true, what about the little sea monster? Was it eaten or escaped?
All the ability users just felt their heads buzzing. What the hell is going on? !
Si Xu asked Croft, "Did the temporary research base say the maturity of the mucus?"
If the maturity is very low, it can be basically confirmed that the missing mucus was eaten. If the maturity is very high, it is very likely that an incompletely grown little sea monster will appear. It can also be inferred from this whether the Seven-Star Blue Devil can track it down personally.
After all, if the eggs are not hatched, the Seven-Star Blue Devil will be trapped in the high seas. Once the hatching period comes, the Seven-Star Blue Devil can leave.
Si Xu analyzed the seriousness of the matter with them and asked them to confirm the maturity of the mucus as soon as possible.
While waiting for the results, they have to discuss how to deal with the mucus and mucous membranes.
The person Croft trusts most now is Si Xu. This truth was discovered by Si Xu. Croft also wants to hear Si Xu's opinion on how to deal with it specifically, for fear that improper handling will lead to a disaster. Si Xu
's solution is that since the Seven-Star Blue Devil is so sensitive to the pheromones of the eggs, it is better to send the liquid in the eggs together with the egg membranes to the high seas. In this way, the concentration of pheromones in the town will decrease, and the liquid in the eggs will be mixed in the seawater, which should interfere with the Seven-Star Blue Devils' reception of external pheromones. At least it can slow down the Seven-Star Blue Devils' revenge and buy them time.
Croft thought that Si Xu's method was very good, but this task was not so easy to complete.
The high seas are now equivalent to hell. Whether it is a ship or an airplane, don't even think about passing through the high seas. If you go there, you must be prepared to sacrifice. What's more, they still have the liquid and mucous membrane of the eggs in their hands. They will undoubtedly be the most conspicuous target over the high seas.
But for the sake of the lives of tens of thousands of people in the town, they must make a decision.
Si Xu is an outsider and can only give suggestions. The specifics are up to Croft himself to decide.
Si Xu proposed to throw the liquid and mucous membrane of the egg into the high seas. There was another purpose, which was to let the Seven-Star Blue Devils and the giant sea monsters there kill each other. If the Seven-Star Blue Devils could be used to destroy a group of giant sea monsters, the pressure on humans would be greatly reduced.
However, some people were not optimistic about Si Xu's proposal. Some even said that there was no need to run so far, just throw it into the sea as long as it was not on land.
This is really not a problem that can be solved by throwing it casually. It is no exaggeration to say that wherever it is thrown, it will become a sea monster battlefield.
Thinking of this, Si Xu frowned. It was not that he thought too badly of people's hearts. If someone wanted to use the Seven-Star Blue Devils eggs to frame other countries, it was not impossible. Just throw some liquid or mucous membrane of the egg to the coastal cities of other countries to achieve the goal.
Obviously, someone thought the same as Si Xu.
The people from Country M said that they wanted to see Country F deal with the liquid and mucous membranes of these eggs.
Archer said, "I think it's not difficult to change their smell by some means."
Si Xu said, "The fact is that you can't smell it at all, and you don't know whether the smell has changed or not. I'm the only one who can smell it, so I'm sure you won't feel at ease." Some people
were still skeptical about Si Xu's words until now. After all, they couldn't smell it, and even if the mucus and mucous membranes were in front of them, no one could be sure whether the consequences were really as dangerous as Si Xu said.
A person with special abilities said, "I don't know if the pheromones you're talking about really exist, and I don't know if they will really attract the King of Sea Monsters, but I know that it's absolutely wrong to take these things to the high seas and throw them away. This is obviously a way to get people killed."
The leader of Country H, Jin Shengshu, spoke up, "Since Captain Si knows so much about this kind of thing, how about letting Captain Si handle it?"
Si Xu and Lu Jiu both looked at him. Jin Shengshu obviously had bad intentions.
Cui Zaicheng added, "It's too dangerous to approach the high seas from the air. I wonder if there's a way to get through the sea?"
Jin Shengshu's face was full of worry, "If there is a way, please don't refuse, Captain Si, the lives of tens of thousands of people depend on you."
Si Xu glanced at them indifferently and looked at Croft, "Are you sure you want me to handle it?"
Croft hesitated and couldn't help but look at the person with special abilities from Country M.
Archer held out his hands, "If you have a better way, we won't object. After all
, you are the only one who can smell the pheromones." Si Xu: "In that case, I will use my ability to destroy these things in public. You can see it with your own eyes, and you will feel more at ease, right?"
Krov breathed a sigh of relief, "That's the best."
Si Xu raised his hand, and the mucus and mucous membrane placed not far in front of him automatically floated up. Under the gaze of everyone, the mucus and mucous membrane gradually decreased as if weathered, until they disappeared completely.
Everyone was very surprised, wondering what kind of ability Si Xu had. They looked at the empty bottles and then at the empty barrels.
"Don't these need to be destroyed? There must be a smell on them."
Si Xu: "You can check if there are any residues on the bottles and barrels."
He wanted to destroy them, but the Demon Hunting System would not accept them.
This is a collaboration between Si Xu and the Demon Hunting System. Si Xu came forward, but it was the Demon Hunting System that did the work.
The Seven-Star Blue Demon Egg is a good thing for the Demon Hunting System, with sufficient energy.
[The broken Seven-Star Blue Demon Egg was successfully recovered, and a reward of 170 magic points was obtained.]
Jiu Jiu: "..."
This is simply a pie in the sky!
Krove and others confirmed again and again that there was no mucus in the bottle and on the barrel, and they were slightly relieved.
Even so, they didn't dare to get close to those things and stayed far away from them.
Now that the liquid and mucous membrane in the egg have been solved, the only thing left is to solve their own problems.
The sleeper still hasn't woken up, people are dying every day, and the temporary research base has also reported bad results.
If the maturity period of sea monster eggs is divided into four stages, then the maturity period of mucus has reached stage three, and it is very close to stage four.
After discovering that everyone in the town was unconscious, Country F has investigated for several days. No one can say whether the eggs of the King of Sea Monsters have hatched in these days. Every moment in Country F makes people nervous.
It was already late, and no one was in the mood to sleep. They gathered together to discuss solutions.
If this pheromone cannot be removed, none of them can leave.
By the way, after they came back from the town, the people who stayed in the temporary base heard the seriousness of the matter, and some of them wanted to leave at that time. Fortunately, the leaders of each country were very sober. If they went back, wouldn’t they bring disaster back with them?
No one can leave until the matter is resolved.
Lu Jiu did not participate in their discussion. He was discussing with the system how to solve this matter.
[I don’t agree with you guys trying to do this. If they can take out the magic crystal marrow and strengthen the genes of the male god to a high level, the host’s blood purification must be at least intermediate. You may succeed. Otherwise, it’s just suicide. They are not worth your risk.]
Lu Jiu: Is the solution very dangerous?
[With your current strength, you can at most protect yourself, don’t even think about saving others. 】
Lu Jiu: Let me hear what the solution is first?
【There are two solutions, one is to cover up, and the other is to remove. 】
【Covering up means that you find the eight-star blue devil eggs and use a stronger level to suppress the seven-star blue devil. The seven-star blue devil will be afraid of receiving the stronger pheromone smell and dare not act rashly. This method cannot save the poisoned and sleeping people. 】
【If you want to completely remove it, you need sea dragon grass. As long as you get the sea dragon grass, you can wake up the poisoned and sleeping people, and it can also remove the smell on your body, but the sea dragon grass only grows in the habitat of the nine-star sea dragon. If you want to pick the sea dragon grass, the probability of encountering the nine-star sea dragon is very high. You can calculate it yourself, what is the probability of leaving alive? 】
Lu Jiu and Si Xu had the answer in their minds at the same time: extremely low.
They can't even deal with the seven-star blue devil now, let alone the eight-star blue devil. Forget about the nine-star sea dragon. Going there will just lead to
death
