Ronald did not answer Nicole's inquiry immediately.
Because to be honest, he is still a little confused about what is going on now.
On the surface, these white liquids are obviously some special inorganic substances. Even though they carry special magic, they are not essentially substances that can constitute the subject of life.
However, this is just common sense under the normal world view.
Ronald did not forget that he now existed in a world with magic. What made him go deep into the Arctic and pursue all the way is a dust beast with extraordinary abilities in all aspects.
That kind of life that is incredible even in size.
No one can guarantee whether the other party has other powers beyond imagination.
Let me briefly recall the two Ronald himself met.
One of them is a deep-sea monster hiding in a cave under the sea, and the other is a huge mountain and rock monster sleeping under the forest and blending with the earth and stone.
So is there a possibility?
The dust beast sleeping in the Arctic also has its unique special situation.
Ronald made a bold guess in his heart.
Maybe these white substances are what the other party shows when he is sleeping.
Only when it wakes up from its sleep can it show its true form as life.
“…”
"Hey! Ronald, look below!"
Just as Ronald was hesitating, Nicole, who was held in his arms, suddenly stretched out her right hand and pointed at the bottom and shouted:
“Exactly the same!”
"The white mist we encountered before was that kind of thing!"
Wake up by this prompt.
Ronald, who was originally considering the choice of spells, instantly escaped from his thoughts.
Looking in the direction Nicole pointed, he immediately discovered something that alerted the investigator girl.
Just above these white luminous liquids.
In some places, a thin white mist will rise on the surface over time!
These fogs that appeared should have permeated this closed cave, or gradually penetrated into the soil, and eventually penetrated upwards little by little.
But at this time, because the effect of Nicole spell had already cut a large mouth on the top, the white mist floated upward along this path.
In the process.
These white mists began to change their appearance in the air.
The originally vaporized mist gradually gathers and solidifies, and eventually condenses together, and becomes a colloid-like texture.
Just as Ronald and Nicole observed their changes.
These fogs with bodies have already vaguely shown the posture of human beings.
“…”
Witnessing the process of this white mist from scratch and finally condensed into a substance, Ronald naturally frowned:
"Nicole, are all the monsters they transformed into human-shaped?"
The investigator girl immediately replied:
"not really."
"Along the way, these guys will not only imitate our human appearance, but also the insects around them will not be spared. They are quite diverse."
“…”
"That's not right."
After listening to Nicole's answer.
Ronald's already serious expression was even more serious.
Because the facts at this moment are different from what the investigator girl said, just around them, all the entities condensed by these white mist are all human-shaped creatures, and no one is inhuman-like!
“Two possibilities.”
"First, our luck is quite special, so what is condensed here happens to be human nature; second, these white mists are purposefully observing the life around them, thus imitating their corresponding appearance."
Compared to Ronald, he is still cautiously speculating on the reasons behind this change.
Nicole's reaction was much more direct.
The investigator girl felt that she had recovered nearly half of her energy. She smiled at the corner of her mouth and even took the initiative to touch her gun in Ronald's arms:
"Ronard, my suggestion is to kill them directly and see if there are any special reactions to the things underneath."
"Anyway, we are not here to do some peaceful negotiations, so why should we be so cautious?"
Nicole's performance was still as simple and direct as ever, but Ronald did not follow her personality this time.
"Nicole, it's not a matter of caution or carelessness now."
"If it's an ordinary enemy, I'm not even interested in watching them gathering entities here."
"It's just that we can do it at will now, and we may make a big mistake. Once the Arctic glaciers melt, no one wants to see the consequences."
Stopped Nicole's urge.
Ronald also started to mobilize his own spells again.
To confirm the information about unknown things, it is naturally easier to use the original sin of greed in "Purgatory".
It just takes into account the interval and current situation of spell use.
Ronald did not detect the white mist that was still forming physically around him. Instead, after the spell was activated, he directly pointed the target of the investigation to the huge white liquid lake below.
——Dust Behemoth: Bai Chuan
——Awakening [two weeks remaining…]
——The existence of Shirakawa itself will greatly reduce the surrounding temperature and thus affect the climate to a certain extent. This phenomenon will disappear immediately after his death.
And while he is sleeping.
Shirakawa will be converted into a unique liquid form, and the body will naturally secrete white mist, simulating the hunting of surrounding creatures, and perform periodic replenishment activities for the sleeping Shirakawa.
“…”
"It's really this guy."
Ronald muttered.
After confirming that the essence of the liquid below was the body of the dust beast, in addition to being happy about finding the target, he also casually stroked around him a few times and cut off a few stones from the surrounding soil.
Immediately, the burning [Sun Power] covered it and threw it at the white colloidal humanoids that were forming.
Brush brush-
Ronald, who confirmed the situation, started quickly and accurately.
Before these white colloids were completely formed, the stones directly penetrated their bodies and were then quickly burned by [Sun Oscar Power].
There wasn't even time to pose a threat.
The enemies around them who were still forming dissipated in the vision of the two.
After witnessing the scene that happened in front of him, Nicole naturally understood it.
"Ronard, are you confirming the situation now?"
"Yes, this is the dust beast." Ronald nodded and affirmed the situation. Then he did not hide it much, and immediately introduced the thing below to the investigator girl. "I confirmed this thing through my own spell. .”
"This guy's name is Shirakawa, and there are two weeks left before he fully awakens."
"Our goal now is to let it continue to sleep without killing, the longer the better."
