"They didn't avoid the Cloud Whale before, so why weren't they affected in any way?" Angel looked at Speaker Zhuangzhuang and others in the distance.
"It's normal. Their bodies are in the void interlayer. This is just a special projection that can slightly affect the material world." The inspector did not hesitate to explain.
"The main body is hidden in the void... No wonder they are not affected by the attraction at all, and they are not knocked away by the cloud whale. That is very similar to the situation when the mentor rescued Lord Kanter before."
The inspector nodded: "The idea is the same, but the method is different."
Sanders used a ritual, while the group opposite used a special inscription prop. This type of inscribed props is rare in the Southern Territory, but it is still very popular in the Source World, especially in lawful guilds. Almost all mysterious hunters will carry such props. Because of its functionality, it is very useful when hunting mysterious objects. Of course, this type of props also has limitations, but the flaws do not outweigh the advantages.
"I see."
Angel looked like he had some realization on the surface, but he was thinking about other things in his heart.
He was indeed a little curious about the current status of Speaker Zhuguang and others, but the reason why he was in a daze before was not just because he was thinking about them.
Instead, he faintly felt that there was an invisible tie that silently connected him to a certain existence.
This bond is naturally not real, it is more like a... fetter.
Angel felt a sense of clarity: it had arrived in the Southern Territory.
Although this feeling was unclear, Angel was convinced.
…
Cloud Whale's sacrifice only raised the curtain on a brand new blood feast.
More powerful sea beasts are coming from all directions one after another. There are some sea beasts that even swim from more distant seas outside the fog zone.
There are many sea beasts among them that can be compared to cloud whales.
For example, a spindle-shaped flying fish covered in silver light. Although it is not huge in size, it possesses extremely terrifying speed. This speed even travels through space, like a bolt of lightning, breaking through countless human walls. Head straight into the center of the foggy belt.
During this process, some unlucky wizards even exploded into bloody splatters because they couldn't dodge.
If this spindle-shaped flying fish hadn't been attracted by the mysterious fruit and lost its mind, as long as it still had some consciousness left and turned around to attack those wizards whose bodies exploded, they probably wouldn't have been able to save them no matter how hard they tried.
Angel had never heard of this spindle-shaped flying fish because of his limited knowledge. However, there were knowledgeable people near him.
According to the information overheard from Dishel, it is known that this is a mutant of the blue flag of Mozna, which is quite famous in the Devil Sea, and its strength is comparable to that of a formal wizard.
Because of its extraordinary speed, it can't be seen at all on weekdays. In addition, its strength is so good that it can't be caught. Eventually, it became a destabilizing factor in Devil's Sea.
In the past, a large number of shipping companies sent wizards to hunt it, but nothing happened. Who would have thought that today this Moz took the blue flag and came to the fog belt to die.
Yes, to die. Moreover, it was delivered quickly.
With a flash of lightning, Moz flew past everyone's eyes with the blue flag and rushed to No. 03. Then it was decomposed by some mysterious force and turned into a ball of pure blood-colored energy, which was swallowed by the mysterious fruit.
Plop——
Accompanying the death of Mozna Blue Flag, a stronger heartbeat resounded throughout the sky.
The heart rate continues to increase, getting closer and closer to the critical point.
In addition to Mozna's blue flag, there are other powerful sea beasts who are still rushing towards the foggy belt one after another. However, most of these sea beasts operate under the sea, and they obviously do not attract as much attention as the flying Cloud Whales and Mozna Blue Flag.
But there are exceptions. Although there is a sea beast lurking on the bottom of the sea, everyone is watching it.
That's a ray.
The reason why everyone is watching this ray is because it is not an unknown sea beast, its name is... Brigitte.
Sliu's riding pet is also his self-proclaimed nominal companion.
Sliu's nickname is "Big Fish Warlock". People who are not familiar with Sliu will think that Sliu is named after him because he can summon many giant sea beasts. In fact, this is not the case.
Sliu is indeed proficient in controlling sea beasts, but the "big fish" in his name is not a general reference, but has a specific direction.
The person he was referring to was none other than Brigitte.
Not long ago, Sliu discovered that Brigitte was tempted by the attraction of the mysterious fruit and was a little out of control. In his uneasiness, Sliu decided to let Brigitte withdraw from the fog zone first.
He arranged for Brigitte to be near Sidro Island outside the fog zone, and let her rest here for a while before picking her up again after the end.
Sliu returned to the mist belt after thinking that everything was fine, but unexpectedly, not long after, the fall of Cloud Whale and Mozna Blue Flag instantly increased the attraction ability of the mysterious fruit.
Human beings can still resist it for the time being, because the attraction to human beings is not that great. But the attraction to sea beasts is unimaginable.
It directly transcended the huge foggy sea area and spread toward the sea beyond. Soon, Sidro Island was covered.
Even Brigitte, who possesses human intelligence, fell under this attraction.
Its eyes turned bright red and it rushed into the mist belt again.
At this moment, it has arrived at the center of the fog belt again. Sliu discovered it immediately, and was so horrified that he rushed into the seabed to try to stop Sliu.
It was also because of Sliu's actions that everyone paid attention to Brigitte.
"Editor-in-Chief, do you think Sliu can stop it?" Livita whispered.
Discher: "I don't know, maybe?"
After all, they are just shadows and cannot feel the increase in attraction. Although they can judge based on some details, it is still difficult to empathize without personal experience.
"Is it really possible?"
As Livita murmured to herself, a shocking loud noise erupted from the bottom of the sea. Blood and water rushed to the sky one after another, shaping into spiraling dragons and snakes.
These blood-colored dragon snakes twisted ferociously in mid-air, and then turned into monsters with fangs, biting towards the bottom of the sea.
After the loud noise, a human figure covered in blood was thrown into the sky as if weightless, and then fell heavily.
There is no doubt that this human being is Sliu.
His obstruction failed.
It's not that he can't deal with Brigitte, but the bottom of the sea at this moment is extremely terrifying. Countless sea beasts are surging, and there are no fewer sea beasts than Moz took the blue flag before.
Brigitte mingled among these sea beasts.
Sliu's attempt to stop Brigitte from advancing was equivalent to stopping the entire tide of sea beasts. No matter how strong he is, he can't face such a group of crazy sea beasts!
Not to mention Sliu, even if the true wizard enters the water at this moment, he may not get good results.
When Sliu fell heavily, his expression was still stunned and hopeless. He murmured the name of "Bijie" and watched helplessly as Brigitte swam to the end.
The moment Brigitte turned into endless flesh and blood, Sliu lost his mind.
But soon, Sliu regained his composure and returned to the air. He looked fine and his eyes were calm, as if nothing happened before.
However, everyone silently stayed away from Sliu.
The most terrifying people are those who have lost their bonds and have no scruples. If this person still watches helplessly as the bond is severed, then his level of terror will increase to another level.
Anyone who knows Sliu knows that Brigitte has been growing up with Sliu since he was an apprentice. Brigitte is both his help and his weakness.
When the weakness disappears, no one knows what style Sliu, who has always had a bad personality, will turn to.
…
Brigitte's death, except for Sliu, was an insignificant incident to everyone present, including Angel.
However, the death of another sea beast gave everyone a bad feeling.
That happened after Brigitte died.
A figure holding a small silver buckler came along with the boiling waves.
At first, everyone thought it was another wizard who coveted mysterious objects, but when this figure rushed towards No. 03 without stopping, everyone realized that something was wrong.
That was not a person. Although she had the same beautiful facial features as a human woman, her head was not hair, but a head full of ferocious blue snakes, and a snake tail with faint blue scales below the waist.
This is a half-snake, or more accurately, a gorgon.
Angel once saw a snake-haired siren named Silver Star. Except for its different appearance and hair color, it was almost identical.
The gorgon eats humans to feed itself, and is a very terrifying existence for people who live in the sea. Even an extraordinary person has feelings of boredom and disgust towards the Gorgon.
But at this time, the appearance of this snake-haired sea monster made everyone's hearts skip a beat.
Especially when they saw the snake-haired sea monster rushing straight towards No. 03, turning into flesh and blood for sacrifice, everyone felt uneasy.
Because even though the Gorgon looks strange and even feeds on humans, it is still a humanoid creature.
Humanoids are very similar to humans, but they are very different from sea beasts.
And the gorgon is not an imbecile creature.
Nowadays, when the human-like snake-haired sea monster cannot resist the attraction of the fruit and turns into blood food, this is a huge impact on other humans.
The wizards present were not stupid, and they also discovered that the attractiveness of the fruit to humans and sea beasts were two different things.
Previously, the fruit had been targeted at sea monsters. But now, humanoid creatures like the Gorgon and Siren are unable to resist the attraction of the fruit. What about them humans?
Will it not be long before fruits are as attractive to humans as they are to sea beasts?
"Will humans become the focus of mysterious fruits after sea beasts?" Discher was the one who spoke, and the person he was asking was Speaker Zhuangguang, who had a gloomy face.
Livita and Adelaia also looked at Speaker Chasing Light, and they also wanted to know the answer.
Speaker Zhuangguang shook his head: "I can't be sure... However, another projection of mine has contacted Senator Vera, and she may be able to give the answer."
Vera is one of the members of the True Knowledge Council. She is also one of the observers of the Crown Star Church, nicknamed: the faceless amnesiac.
Speaker Zhuguang also noticed that the situation here was getting weirder and weirder, so he contacted Vera immediately. As an observer of Crown Star Church, Vera’s prophetic ability goes without saying.
It’s just that Vera hasn’t given a reply yet.
While they were waiting for the answer, Angel also asked the inspector the questions raised by Discher.
"Will humans also follow in the footsteps of sea beasts?"
"Hasn't mankind been accepted as a recipe by 'it' a long time ago? Isn't that the case with Kanter you were trying to save before." The inspector said lightly: "And, starting from the beginning, Kanter was the mysterious fruit from the beginning. food. But at that time, the range of influence of the mysterious fruit’s ability was too small, so it gave up on Kanter and aimed its ability at sea monsters.”
"If the mysterious thing has consciousness, in its eyes, what's the difference between humans and sea beasts?" When the inspector said this, he sighed.
The answer is already obvious.
Human beings will inevitably become food for the mysterious fruit.
It’s just that there were a lot of sea beasts before, so the first consideration for the mysterious fruit was sea beasts as sacrifices. But with the influence of mysterious fluctuations, more and more humans gather here.
The humans who dare to come here are basically wizards.
With so many wizard-level beings, in the "eyes" of the mysterious fruit, they naturally become more and more "scented". As the sea beasts eat too much, the nearby sea gradually becomes empty, and they need to spread farther to attract more sea beasts.
On one side, there are many people and they are close, so the quality is good; on the other side, there are fewer sea animals, and the distance is still far away.
A little comparison shows that humans are naturally better.
Therefore, it is not difficult for it to make strategic adjustments again and shift its target from sea beasts to humans.
And the turning point of everything is the gorgon.
The transition from sea beasts to humanoid life, and then to human beings, is simply a matter of course.
Of course, the above is just the inference of the observer, and the mysterious fruit is "anthropomorphized". In a real situation, whether the mysterious fruit has thoughts is another matter, but the inference should be correct.
It is basically impossible for the humans present to sit back and wait for the fruits to ripen before picking the final results.
What they will face next will be a terrifying disaster.
It is basically impossible to profit from this disaster with the pattern these wizards see now. The only thing they can do is try their best... to survive.
The nightmare is coming.
