Chapter 285 The Drowning Curse, the Great Tide is Coming
"Thanks!"
Jiang Shaoxu's eyes glowed with hope again. Knowing the direction of progress and not knowing the direction are two completely different situations!
"Little things!" Qin Shaoqing waved his hand and said, "Okay, I won't disturb you for now, and then you can think about how to go about the future!"
After saying that, Qin Shaoqing was about to turn around and leave, when suddenly there was a burst of noise next to him.
The military mage was roaring, and some people were chasing him wildly.
The two of them followed the sound and saw a tall woman with long hair suddenly rushing out of the embankment with warnings and dissuasion, and ran towards the sea without looking back, still muttering in her mouth.
"Water, water, water!!!!"
A tall woman with long hair dives into the ocean!
"Did something happen there?" Jiang Shaoxu asked with some confusion after noticing the strange movement there.
"That's a drowning curse!" Qin Shaoqing explained.
If he remembered correctly, the drowning curse was caused by a terrible monster called jellyfish maggot. Jellyfish maggot has a characteristic that can make people's scalp numb. Its young form is equivalent to an embryo that can be shaped at will.
, whatever creature it is attached to can grow into that creature, and this includes humans.
As for how high the upper limit is, it's hard to say, at least the commander level is not a problem for them.
"What is the drowning curse?" Jiang Shaoxu asked.
"The Drowning Curse is a strange epidemic caused by unknown causes. The patient will rush towards the ocean unhindered and will die immediately as soon as it touches the sea water, and will show death symptoms of drowning for several hours."
"Is there any hidden secret in this?" Jiang Shaoxu looked at Qin Shaoqing.
Since Qin Shaoqing knew about the drowning curse, and given the distance between them and the patient, Qin Shaoqing, who was proficient in high-level space magic, could definitely prevent the woman from touching the sea water in the first place.
But Qin Shaoqing didn't do this. She didn't think Qin Shaoqing was the kind of person who was ruthless enough to watch others die in front of him. There must be some hidden secret in it.
"Yes, even if I stop her in time, she will definitely die!" Qin Shaoqing nodded and confirmed Jiang Shaoxu's guess.
As expected, the body of a cursed patient has been eroded and occupied by jellyfish maggots, and even the person himself has been completely replaced. He is a real humanoid monster.
"Let's go over and have a look!" Jiang Shaoxu was actually quite curious.
"Um!"
The two walked out of the embankment and came to the ford. At this time, the tall woman had been turned over by an incoming soldier, and her scalp-numbing death symptoms came into view.
His eyes were wide open, his mouth was wide open, his skin was so pale that there was no trace of blood, blue-green blood vessels were densely distributed on the pale skin, and his body was extremely stiff, looking like a drowning man who refused to rest in peace.
"Alas, another case has occurred." The soldier who turned over the body couldn't help but sigh.
"It's all my fault. I didn't stop her in time. I thought she was just here for a walk." A soldier said with a face filled with self-blame.
"Who could have imagined this!"
Looking at the woman's body, Qin Shaoqing remembered that there seemed to be an international bounty pool for the Drowning Curse. He could bring Lingling to decipher it, so that this restless little girl could come out to play and improve her skills at the same time.
Hunter level.
…
"Drowning curse?" After hearing the news about the drowning curse brought back by Jiang Shaoxu, Nanrong Ni's tone was a little frightened.
According to what Jiang Shaoxu said, the drowning curse has existed in Donghai City and even around the world for a long time, and there are almost no abnormal signs when it occurs, just like the curse of the ocean.
During the discussion, Jiang Yu also talked about the invasion of the Xiling White Magic Eagle Tribe caused by the Hangzhou Plague, and even revealed to everyone that the real cause of the outbreak was actually a politician who manufactured inferior blood agents for his own benefit.
Some people in the team felt that we couldn't just sit idly by and ignore the living lives. Naturally, there were also some people who were completely indifferent to this.
"This matter has nothing to do with us. The Sakura government doesn't care. We little guys have nothing to worry about." Guan Yu said with a nonchalant expression.
"There are always many strange diseases in the world. Maybe they committed suicide because they accumulated too much psychological pressure while fighting in Donghai City." Li Kaifeng also didn't care too much.
"This discussion is over. Let's focus on tomorrow's tide first. The sea water has receded farther this time, which means that tomorrow's tide will be particularly turbulent. You should all charge your magic equipment and get ready.
With enough antidote, the Siren is very powerful when walking alone, so be careful," Nan Jue warned.
The most important thing for them now is to complete the experience assigned by the instructor and obtain the batch of resources. Everything else must be postponed.
………………
The next day, everyone arrived at Area 20 before the tide arrived, preparing for the next fight.
Beyond the short embankment, the waves kept lapping at the long beach, hundreds of meters away from the ten-meter-high short embankment.
Standing on the tallest building nearby with Mu Ningxue, looking at the ocean that was about to set off huge waves in the distance, Qin Shaoqing couldn't help but sigh.
"Compared to those forbidden areas for life on land, the ocean is the most mysterious and dangerous area in the world!"
At this moment, as if he noticed something, Qin Shaoqing reminded him with a faint look in his eyes: "It's coming!"
After hearing Qin Shaoqing's reminder, everyone looked towards the sea, only to see an extremely shocking and spectacular scene.
A huge, oppressive white wave rose from the sea and headed straight for the short embankment.
The waves are getting closer and closer. Originally they were still hundreds of meters away from the embankment, but now the long silt beaches exposed due to the retreat of the dynasty have been swallowed up and covered by the sea water. The sea water keeps beating against the short embankment, and the sound becomes louder and louder, like
Roaring, like a violent storm!
At the same time, the sky in the distance began to get darker.
Seeing the surging waves, many of the mages guarding the low embankment looked horrified.
A Sakura National Army mage shouted loudly in International dialect: "The tide is coming, get out of here quickly, this place is going to be completely submerged!"
Different from the ancient capital that relied on its towering city walls to fight the undead, the people of Sakura Country did not shut out the tide, nor did they prevent the sea monster hidden in the tide from invading the city.
The entire low embankment was unguarded, and everyone evacuated to the high embankment, forming a long queue!
The high embankment is the real marine defense fortification of Sakura Country Tokyo. It is like a mountain curtain.
