As the sea breeze blows, you can vaguely smell a strange smell emanating from this huge skeleton, which is permeating this small port.
At this time, the boardwalk at the port was already crowded with people. They had never seen such a scene before. All kinds of terrible rumors gradually brewed among these people in shock. I believe it will not take long before they spread throughout Tinoa. The streets and alleys of Asia City.
"This... this is indeed a bit big, exaggeratedly big!" Zhao Manyan swallowed, his eyes bulging out.
When they were sitting on the plane and looking down, they felt that the white thing was a bit inconsistent with the small port. But when they landed and went to the scene to see it in person, they realized that the skeleton was indeed quite amazing.
"How could a creature of this level be made like this? The skeleton seems to be very complete, but there is not a drop of blood or a trace of flesh on the body, let alone the internal organs!" Nan Jue said.
"Jiang Yu, look at what kind of creature this is." Mo Fan pushed the monster recognition expert next to him and asked seriously.
Zhao Manyan next to him was speechless and shouted: "You are too difficult to be a person!!"
"This should be a maritime mammoth. Its head and upper body are like an ancient giant elephant, but its lower body is the body of a whale. It usually lives in the far sea and deep sea. It is not a sea beast or sea monster that likes to intrude on humans, but it is a lot of ferocious creatures. It is an extremely arrogant and domineering creature that has to be detoured around by sea monsters. This thing has to eat more than a dozen sea monsters a day to maintain normal body functions, and it always eats them alive... They also have a nickname, ship killers. According to historical records, the number of luxury ships that were destroyed by this kind of maritime mammoth is not less than 100 but also 80, and they were all ships with mages on board, and the ship's endurance was comparable to that of commander-level creatures..." Jiang Yu breathed out said.
Mo Fan nodded, and Zhao Manyan's jaw almost dropped to the ground.
Damn, there are a bunch of skeletons here. Jiang Yu can recognize their species. His recognition ability is too exaggerated. In the mysterious ocean, creatures of this size cannot be said to be overrun, but the species Definitely no less!
"This guy has been dead for less than two days." Jiang Yu continued.
"For such a large creature, it would take a long time for the body to rot into bones after death. How could it not take more than two days?" Mo Fan said.
"Look at its teeth...oh, that's not a horn, it's a tooth, something similar to ivory. The tusks of the Haijiang Mammoth are worth more than ten million and can be used to make magic armor and magic-killing tools. Its tusks It is only now starting to turn black, and after the death of the coastal mammoth, the teeth will completely turn black, like carbon stone, in a few days. Once the entire tooth turns black, the teeth will be worthless," Jiang Yu said.
Mo Fan raised his head and stared at the flying fangs raised high. Just as Jiang Yu said, it began to turn black.
"I still don't understand. The ocean is so big that it's understandable that there are creatures stronger than the Maritime Mammoth. But this skeleton is quite complete, and it doesn't want to have been impacted and collided at all. And even if the Maritime Mammoth was crushed by strength, it could be killed instantly with one blow. , but where are the skin, meat, internal organs, and blood on his body? What's more, aren't the bones very heavy? Why are they floating on the sea like a ship?" Nan Jue fell into deep thought.
"You are really nosy, go to their national embassy quickly, deal with them, and then you can go to the next location!"
Obviously, no one can explain this shocking scene on the seaside, including the hunter groups who have been in Tinoaia city for many years.
It's just that such a giant skeleton docked at the entrance of the city, and the residents were panicked. If a maritime mammoth broke into the city, it could cause destruction to the city. What's more, there are also monsters lurking in this ocean that can easily kill the maritime mammoth. The devil! !
Fear is contagious. Walking on the street, you can always hear people whispering, basically discussing what happened in the afternoon.
Presumably many news newspapers have already started drafting the manuscript, preparing to make the headlines the next day...
Mo Fan is a very curious person, and the visual impact of the skeleton is really strong, but this is not the point. The point is how did this maritime mammoth die? ?
"Jiang Yu, what level is the strength of the Haijiang Mammoth?" Mo Fan couldn't help but continue to ask.
"The weakest one must be the commander-in-chief. The guy at the beach, judging from his teeth and body, may be close to the monarch." Jiang Yu said.
"Get... close to the monarch level... Jiang Yu, don't scare me!" Zhao Manyan trembled all over!
For a creature approaching the level of a monarch to die so tragically, doesn't this mean that there is a real monarch near the city of Tinoa, or a cruel monarch who is bloodthirsty and eats meat!
When Jiang Yu didn't tell the level of this creature, everyone didn't take it seriously, but now he was in two completely different moods. It seemed that he didn't feel safe even if he was surrounded by the entire city.
"Let's play the national stadium game as soon as possible. After the game, we'll leave as soon as possible and take a plane to leave."
"..."
…
Mo Fan didn't have the slightest interest in Portugal's national competition. On the contrary, the more he heard from Jiang Yu, the more Mo Fan became interested in the skeletons on the beach.
"You can go if you want. We should be able to handle the national competition." Ai Jiangtu had already seen the uneasy light in Mo Fan's eyes and said helplessly.
"Hey, that's up to you! Take a walk and read the gossip."
"Nah, that's not gossip, it's just a horrific incident, okay?"
Zhao Manyan was reluctant to go, but was dragged away by Mo Fan. As expected, Jiang Shaoxu, who loves excitement the most, also joined the search for the truth. To everyone's surprise, he had always been interested in things other than cultivation. The indifferent Mu Ningxue also moved out of the team and followed the small expedition team.
"Mo Fan, this can show that Mu Ningxue is actually the kind of woman who looks like ice on the outside, but is extremely thrill-seeking and adventurous on the inside. One day you will push her down... Oh no, one day she will definitely She will push you down, and you will feel her unknown wildness!" Zhao Manyan is indeed a thief, and he can make such a shameless inference from such a trivial matter.
"If she hears what you said, I won't be able to save your damn life even if I transform." Mo Fan said.
"Hehehe~~~" Zhao Manyan smiled dryly.
Mo Fan was actually a little surprised that Mu Ningxue was actually interested in the skeleton.
But soon Mo Fan discovered that he had made a mistake. When everyone was walking towards the skeleton, Mu Ningxue, who was walking behind, took a path of her own and disappeared into the seaside streets.
The seaside streets and alleys in this area were like a maze after walking in. Mo Fan didn't pay attention to where Mu Ningxue ran, so he had no choice but to continue walking towards the Skeleton Haikou.
…
Mu Ningxue walked through the alley, her wooden heels stepping on the steps, and her voice echoed melodically in the narrow house passage.
Unknowingly, she had reached a stone bridge. This stone bridge spanned the foundations on one side and led to the beach villas on the other side. Under the bridge was a shoal, and the sea water was rising up, submerging the shoal. Turning the sand under the stone bridge into a river...
Outside the stone bridge is a beach that doesn't look clean. It's a very narrow one. The ocean is blocked by the villa halfway up the mountain, and you can only see a very limited corner of the ocean.
The sea breeze that had gotten lost in this complex terrain suddenly blew in, and Mu Ningxue's silver hair spread messily, revealing her beautiful face made of ice and snow...
"Oh, this is the third time this month." An old man sitting at the head of the stone bridge smoking a cigarette sighed heavily, staring at the black bag in the shallows.
There was someone on the shoal, a fire mage wearing red clothes. In front of the fire mage there was a high pile of wood, and on the wood pile was something wrapped in a black bag.
Someone tore open the black bag, and a well-dressed man was revealed inside. The man showed no signs of life and was lying upright on the wooden frame.
The fire mage completed the star track and ignited the pile of wood with a golden flame. The entire pile of wood immediately burst into flames and quickly engulfed the young man lying on it.
Mu Ningxue was stunned for a moment when she saw the flames rising.
cremation? ?
Why was the cremation held on the edge of that ford? ?
This form of cremation is usually reserved for people who have died from the epidemic. Is it possible that this seemingly glamorous and beautiful city is actually suffering from an epidemic?
"Old man, what did you just say?" Mu Ningxue walked over and asked the sighing old man.
The old man speaks International Language. This city of Tinoaia has many races, and many people speak International Language.
"This is the third cremation held here this month." The old man replied.
"Did he die of illness?" Mu Ningxue asked.
"If you die of illness, you won't be so panicked." The old man said.
"Why?"
"You'd better not listen. You'll have nightmares if you hear about this." The old man shook his head.
"I would like to know."
The old man looked at the pile of flames for a long time, as if waiting for the flames to completely burn the ominous corpse.
After a while, the old man said: "Rather than death from illness, it's better to say suicide. No, no, it's a curse... because they all rushed to the beach like crazy and soaked their bodies in the sea water to suffocate. Dry and dead..."
"Did you see it?" Mu Ningxue frowned and asked extremely seriously.
"Yes, I saw it. If you count all of them, this is not the third one I have seen here."
Mu Ningxue's heart suddenly sank.
She came here precisely because she heard several women on the street talking about this when she was passing by here. At first, Mu Ningxue thought they were talking about the skeleton. After listening carefully, Mu Ningxue realized that Xue suddenly remembered the weird thing he encountered in Donghai City, Japan! !
Drowning curse! !
Back then, Mu Ningxue witnessed a female mage going crazy and panicking into the ocean in Aidi, and then her body turned white and drowned in a short period of time!
Now, she bumped into him again, in this Portuguese seaside city almost half a world away!
The sea breeze came suddenly again, blowing on Mu Ningxue's body, and an inexplicable coldness suddenly surged up on her skin...
