Mystic Dominator

"Come here, people are with me!"

The rush of the underground river is nothing new, and there is nothing special about it.

But after the support team successfully crossed the underground river.

It didn't take long for someone to discover human activity in perception.

It's just that while calling other companions to come, the tone of the first discoverer was trembling and excited, as if he had encountered something unbelievable.

"Is someone on your side?"

"Come here!"

Members of the support team gathered, and a chilling scene was in sight.

Almost clinging to the edge of the underground river, a man lying on the ground with only the upper half of his body left. The miserable-looking man seems to be about to flee from the rear, so his posture is that of crawling forward.

It's a pity...his strength doesn't seem to be enough to support the following movements.

After reaching out to the underground river in front of him with one hand, he no longer had the extra strength to continue running away, and even stagnated here, constantly aware of the terrifying feeling of life disappearing in his body.

"..."

"Yes, is that Johnny?"

People in the camp seemed to recognize this half of the body.

Someone bravely stepped forward and turned the prone man to the front, but this turn revealed the originally blocked position, and the following scene was even more horrifying.

The wound on the man's waist was covered with a layer of wriggling milky white paste-like substance. Although it was not obvious, if one had Ronald's level of vision, he could see that this substance was eating away at the man's body.

In other words——

The man who fell on the ground was not violently cut in half.

Instead, the body was continuously eroded by this white substance, and finally the lower half of the body was eaten abruptly!

"Johnny...Johnny...?"

At the same time, someone in the camp recognized the identity of the man.

He bent down and tried to wake up the other party.

"Get out of the way, it's dangerous!"

Of course Ronald would not watch ordinary people go up and ask for trouble.

A dodge came out of the crowd, and while he pulled the guy away, he gave Costa a wink:

"Crawford, check."

"Yes, sir."

Handmaids are not by nature the best suited to handle this kind of work.

Responding to Ronald's order, the inspection of half of the body began immediately.

At this time, the person who was dragged away by Ronald reacted:

"You... what are you doing, Johnny is dying, save someone!"

Dawn stood up directly at this moment:

"Please don't disturb them."

"These two are actually experts in the subsurface environment and biological research disciplines that I specially invited. When faced with some very rare situations and creatures, their judgments are absolutely correct."

Dawn's brief explanation was full of holes.

But fortunately, the people sent by the camp were not professionals, so they were actually bluffed by Dawn's words.

On the other side, watching Dawn speak to confirm the identities of the two of Ronald.

Megan immediately followed suit:

"Okay, leave it to these two."

"Trust in your companions is the absolute foundation of any action."

"..."

The leaders of the two sides spoke at the same time, and naturally no one in the team would continue to raise objections.

In an absolutely quiet environment.

With Kostat's outstanding ability, he naturally got the inspection results very quickly.

"Sir, this entity of white matter is a cluster of eukaryotic organisms. As you can see, they are devouring this human body while releasing a substance that paralyzes the victim's nervous system to ensure that it does not Immediate death."

Ronald frowned.

This place is far away from the Joyz Forest, and the actual location does not match the name.

So this kind of creature is definitely not the creation of "Organic Encyclopedia".

It's in this ruins, that is, the stuff made by the descendants of the Nigals.

Maybe it's something they made with magic.

Thinking about the question in his heart, Ronald asked at the same time:

"Is anyone still saved?"

Costat immediately replied:

"While this creature devours the human body, it is also an important factor in ensuring human survival. If it is excluded from the victim, the victim will undergo an irreversible death process."

"..."

Ronald didn't control the volume when talking to Costa.

The terrible reality was combined with Ronald's solemn inquiry, and Costat's calm tone from beginning to end.

everyone present.

They are all aware of the fact before them now - this person is dead.

And next.

They must also face such cruel things.

clatter clatter——

In the dark underground, the river was rushing towards the deeper darkness in front of them. The whole team seemed to be infected by a certain atmosphere, so that no one spoke at this moment.

This kind of atmosphere is not good——

Ronald realized the spread of this bad atmosphere, and immediately tried to change the subject:

"Crawford, any other discoveries?"

The maid continued with her expression unchanged:

"Sir, I suggest you take samples for 'research' yourself. Some of their properties are quite special."

Sampling for research yourself?

Ronald heard the accentuated accent in Costat's words, and a strange feeling arose spontaneously.

Besides having questions about myself.

Maids usually maintain a calm attitude from beginning to end.

The eukaryotic organisms in front of her can make her show such actions, which is really interesting.

"Just say it."

Ronald quickly waved Costart to continue.

As someone who temporarily joined the support team, Ronald had no intention of hiding the facts. After ordering this, he squatted down and reached out to take some samples, and then analyzed them using "Origin of Species".

And at the same time.

Kostat, who received the order, naturally explained immediately:

"They were very active in devouring the human body, which is beyond their normal state. If it can be processed, then this eukaryote may be able to participate in the process of human cell replication. During the process, it can quickly repair wounds and block the aging process.”

"..."

Suddenly, the silence in the line seemed different again.

Not even the river rushing forward could conceal the emotional changes of some people.

Many people in the team couldn't fully understand the content of Costat's words, especially when it involved terms such as cells or eukaryotes.

But they can still understand some simple things, or the most intuitive conclusions.

Dawn previously endorsed the identities of the two.

It also gave them the most direct cognition and trust in Costart's conclusion.

simply put--

On this strange white creature, the hope of human immortality can be seen.
