NOVEL WEB Hogwarts: more magic than magic
Chapter 108
Chapter 108
The black mist here is particularly dense, much denser than other places, and the light emitted by the super fluorescent flashes can only dimly illuminate the surrounding environment, making it difficult to see everything clearly.
Keiz noticed that under the dim light, the surface of the huge mud pool shone with a strange light, as if there was a smooth film covering it.
After the monster he had just killed turned into muddy water and flowed back into the pond, as if he had been stimulated by something, the entire pond full of black mud boiled.
All the unformed monsters in the pool were awakened. The smooth film was divided into small pieces by their sudden restlessness. With the faint light, it could be seen that there was a monster wrapped under each piece. They began to transform the mud on their bodies into more various limbs, waving more violently.
They struggled to surge towards the bank of the mud pool, and soon more monsters climbed up from all directions and rushed out.
But the newly formed monsters are still very weak at this time, as long as the long sword with diluted venom gently scratches the film covering their bodies, they can be turned back into a pool of mud.
It is worth mentioning that killing these new monsters provides more energy than all previously killed monsters, and some even double the energy before.
Maybe it's because these monsters have just been born, and the energy in their bodies hasn't been used to shape their bodies or other reasons. Anyway, killing these monsters is more labor-saving and more cost-effective.
Qiz ordered Lancelot to circle the entire mud pool to deal with the new monsters that climbed up, while he himself grabbed a black mud monster that had just climbed up to this side, hoisted him in the air and moved it aside to study carefully.
Speaking of which, even though he has killed a lot of black mud monsters, it seems that he hasn't studied the internal structure of this thing properly. He was going to study the influence of magic on them before, but it was interrupted by the accident caused by the death curse.
He took out a torn rag from the suitcase, wiped off the snake venom and muddy water on the long sword, and then began to swing it at the half-human-sized mud ball suspended in the air by a spell in front of him.
The black mud monster struggled frantically, forming heads and limbs on the surface of the film again and again, and was cut off by Qizi with his sword again and again.
Without the basilisk venom, this guy's sword wounds of this degree are not enough to make it fatal. Although some mud will flow out after the long sword cuts through the membrane, the membrane will heal quickly. It seems that ordinary attacks can't cause much damage to him.
However, no matter how small the damage caused by each attack was, it still couldn't support enough attacks. Qiz cautiously used the long sword in his hand to tentatively cut the monster from the edge again and again, and it shrunk at a speed visible to the naked eye.
It didn't die until it was only the size of a human head, and was still moving irregularly. Now it looks like a wriggling black egg.
Keiz was even able to see the crystals hidden in the black mud. It was moving irregularly in the monster's remaining body, hitting the edge of the film a few times and being illuminated by light.
Taking advantage of the crystal reappearing near the film, Qizi decisively swung his long sword, chopping it and a small piece of black mud with a suitable force.
After losing the crystals, the larger piece of black mud quickly lost its activity, turning into muddy water and flowing to the ground.
In addition, a small piece of black mud that was finally chopped off fell to Qiz's feet. At this time, it was still wriggling, as if it had realized the danger, and wanted to stay away from Qiz, and kept murmuring in the direction of the mud pool.
Keiz put on his gloves and stretched out his right hand towards it, mobilizing his magic power and concentrating all his energy on thinking of 'Crystal Flying' in his heart, the small lump of black mud trembled immediately, speeding up his escape.
But it had no chance. After a violent tremor, the mud wrapped around the crystal suddenly exploded, and the crystal inside flew into Qiz's hands.
"The first time I tried to cast a spell without a wand, it was really difficult, and the consumption of mana and mental power was too huge! It's not as easy as casting a spell with a wand!"
Just now Qizi wanted to pretend to be a force and try his own level on a whim. Although he succeeded, his temples were throbbing and the magic power in his body was consumed a lot.
His hands were trembling slightly, and he lifted the trembling crystal to his eyes to observe carefully. This thing was an irregular black crystal, about the size of a thumb, reflecting a purple-black light under the silver light.
From this point of view, the internal structure of these guys is really too simple, there is almost no structure similar to ordinary creatures, even the bone structure does not exist, it is hard to imagine what they rely on to move.In other words, it is impossible to imagine how they carry out life activities.
In Chiz's view, they are like huge eukaryotic organisms, which can carry out all life activities only by relying on the black crystal like the nucleus in the body.
And even if the outer black mud and protective film are all lost, only one black crystal can still have life, because at this time, the crystal in his hand, even if it is held by Qiz, is still trembling in the direction of the mud pool.
He speculated that maybe this thing was put into the mud pool again, and it would regain a new body soon after.
After roughly researching it, he didn't get much useful information, so he gently crushed the crystal in his hand. This thing was very fragile, and it was shattered without much force.
The shattered pieces quickly melted like ice cubes into black smoke that floated into the air, leaving nothing behind.
"So that's how the black mist that covered the sky and the sun came from! It's such a headache monster. It is very aggressive when alive, and after it dies, it not only pollutes the land but also pollutes the air! No wonder the Ministry of Magic can't do anything about them. It can only find a way to completely isolate the place where they exist."
Glancing at the new notification received by the simulator, the energy has increased by 0.006%.
"It's okay. It's more cost-effective than the ones killed before. If every head is like this, at least it can save a lot of effort."
After thinking wildly for a while, he didn't come back to himself until the super fluorescent flashes in the sky automatically extinguished, and focused on the mud pool in front of him.
"So many monsters crawled out of it? This doesn't look like a place that can produce so many monsters! The black mud inside shouldn't be enough to produce many monsters! Could it be that the pool is connected to other places?"
