Chapter 552: Virus Outbreak
The Sawa Fishmen are a very ancient race, dating back to the beginning of the birth of the main plane, when Yiqiē was still in the ocean. It can be said that not only are they not as barbaric and ignorant as most human rumors say, but they have a very developed undersea civilization. Architecture, language, writing, beliefs, the domestication of sea creatures, the forging of weapons and armor, and so on, are much more developed than most human settlements.
Advanced civilization technology, cruel and ruthless religion, and a social atmosphere of the jungle are the cornerstones of the Shahua fishman's domination of the sea. If it weren't for the fact that they couldn't survive on land at all, I'm afraid they would have conquered the entire main plane with absolute numerical superiority.
Walking on the slightly wet stone road, Henry couldn't help but marvel at the amazing wealth and creativity of the fish people, and it would take hundreds of years to build such a city carved entirely out of huge stones.
Looking at the carvings and delicate patterns around it, it is still as clear as it used after so many years of washing by the sea, it must be that some special substance has been added to it, and the entire city will cost at least 800 to 10 million gold coins worth of materials to barely enough.
What a terrifying number, if you change it to land, you can build ten large cities that can accommodate more than 50,000 people. The wealth of the deep sea is far beyond human imagination, especially the roofs of many buildings are even covered with various colored pearls the size of fingernails, which look like stars in the sky in the dim underwater city, which is extremely extravagant, and I don't know how to describe it in words.
Huge corals over two meters can be found everywhere, and some important buildings such as shrines, royal palaces, etc., even have sparkling gems inlaid on the walls. It is set off by a mural painted by Mithril. It looks mysterious and elegant.
Wealthy! It's so rich! There are so many good things on the surface. What a real treasure trove should be, Henry had the urge to ransack the city at once. However, he finally held back, because it was not yet time, and only when the virus broke out on a large scale would it be the best time to do it.
As for the kidnapped Aberdell and the others, there is no need to worry at all, the god of Sahua fish-people, Sekora, has left a prophecy in the city, and they are the people mentioned in the prophecy who can bring the city back to life. In this era of theocracy, the prophecies sent down by the gods are the truth for believers, and there will be absolutely no hesitation in carrying them out. Even if it's to give your life.
Remaining invisible, Henry quietly observed the condition of dozens of infected people. During the battle, he sent the mutated, screened, and improved beast virus directly into the bodies of these fish-man warriors.
Suddenly, the eyes of a fish-man infected person began to be bloodshot, and then his body changed rapidly, and after only a few seconds, two furry claws grew on his back, and his height suddenly increased to three meters. It let out an inexplicable roar at its fellow citizens. Immediately afterwards, he pounced on one of the unlucky eggs, opened his bloody mouth and instantly tore his throat. Crazy gnawing on corpses.
The other Shahua fish people around were stunned, and they stood stupidly and watched the scene in front of them, not knowing what to do. The sound of blood and internal organs splattering in all directions, and bones being chewed and devoured, made people shudder to hear it.
Just when their attention was completely attracted, several other infected people also began to mutate, some grew thick fur, some grew sharp claws, and some had mouths that were several times larger.
Completely irrational, with only the instinct to eat, these monsters immediately launched an attack on the fish-men around them, screaming and wailing incessantly, and the blood of their victims stained the water in the canals on both sides red.
At first, a guy dressed as an aristocrat tried to kill or subdue these mutated people by virtue of his numerical superiority, but he soon discovered that these monsters were becoming more and more terrifying as they ate more and more meat.
The first mutated guy had swelled to four meters, and those two furry arms were terrifyingly thick, and with a little force, he could grab the fish-man warrior and twist it directly into two ends, and then stuff it into his mouth and swallow it in a few bites.
After barely resisting for a while, less than twenty of the more than a hundred Shahua fish people remained, and the rest were either turned into corpses or swallowed into their stomachs. Under the threat of death, they finally broke down completely, turned around and ran towards other corners of the city, not even having the courage to turn back.
However, the injured creatures fell to the ground with a "plop" as they ran, followed by convulsions all over their bodies, and after just a few seconds, they also turned into terrifying monsters, and got up to join the ranks of the hunters.
Killing and panic centered around it, quickly spreading around, and in a very short period of time, all kinds of strange beast virus infectees frantically hunted every living creature that could be seen. Devouring and evolving desires dominate their brains, and some even produce spell-like abilities.
Looking at the messy streets around him, Henry couldn't help but sigh: "It's terrible! I'm afraid that even a legendary professional will not be spared if he accidentally gets infected, no wonder biological (chemical) weapons are called the (nuclear) weapons of a poor country, and at this rate of six hours at most, the city will be completely destroyed. ”
He knew very well that this thing was Pandora's box, and once it spread widely, it would be enough to cause devastating damage to all civilizations, so he had to be careful every time he used it, and once it was obtained by the enemy, it was very likely that this scene would be repeated on his own turf.
The current situation is not bad, the entire underwater city is isolated from the outside world, the exit to the sea has been completely blocked by magic, and the door to the direction of the dark region is also closed, which can be said to completely eliminate the possibility of leakage.
Following behind the mutated monsters, Henry swept through everything of value, from pearls and gems, weapons and armor, precious metals, rare materials, giant corals, and even statues that could be removed. It didn't take long to collect half of the city's wealth into the dimensional bag.
The pearls alone contained more than thirty huge sacks. Its value is simply impossible to estimate. Because on land due to the difficulty of pearl diving. Therefore, this round little thing is very expensive, a fingernail-sized one is worth about fifty gold coins, and the value of black, gold, red, blue, pink and other colors is several times greater.
As for the bright red corals, they are even more valuable, each of which can be sold for thousands or even tens of thousands of gold coins, which is definitely the top luxury.
It can be said that if these two things alone can be sold, they will be enough to support the research and development expenses of three to five legendary magic. Of course, a single shot is certainly unlikely, after all, these are high-priced goods. Once too much volume hits the market, there is no doubt that prices will plummet.
Just as Henry was calculating how much he had gained this time, he suddenly found that a large number of Shahua fish-man troops appeared not far ahead, led by a particularly tall guy, with purple fins behind him, holding a spear made of pure gold, instantly piercing an infected person who wanted to launch an attack to the ground.
No need to ask, this guy must be the king of this undersea city. The dorsal fin of most ordinary Sawfish people is generally light green, and the more advanced ones are blue, and the darker the color, the higher the strength and status, and only a very few guys with noble bloodlines will have this bright fuchsia.
Obviously. The widespread killings and riots aroused the vigilance of the king, so he rushed over with the rest of his army. He moved a little late, though. At present, the number of infected people has increased to nearly seven hundred, and the first few tongguò have eaten a large number of people, and have completed the evolution to a very terrifying process, and the surface of the body is covered with thick scales or fur, and ordinary weapons and arrows have no effect at all.
"Roar!! Roar!! ”
The first mutated monster let out a loud roar, and all the monsters who heard it did not hesitate to give up the target they were pursuing, and after a while, they gathered together. When the number exceeded four hundred, it fiercely took the lead in the attack, and for a moment staged the most tragic hand-to-hand combat in the second half of the city.
Jasila, who had just been freed, looked at the scene of flesh and blood flying in front of her, and couldn't help but shudder in fright: "The gods are above! What kind of monsters are those!! ”
"I'm not used to what they are, so I think it's best to stay away before the Sawa Fishman dies." Ammon said in a trembling voice. She was completely frightened by the scene in front of her, and she couldn't even speak.
"yes, I don't think those monsters will show mercy to us, so it's smart to leave quickly." Viconia nodded approvingly.
Just as everyone was about to turn around and run away, there was a sudden fluctuation in the air, and then the figure of a boy about thirteen years old was revealed, it was Henry, who had become smaller. He took advantage of the bloody battle between the fishmen and mutants, stole the key from the king, and took the opportunity to loot the treasure house in the palace, not only obtaining a huge amount of wealth, but also two very precious magic items.
Aberdell laughed and rushed over to give a warm hug: "Haha! My good brother! I knew you'd be fine! ”
"Of course I'm fine, but you're not going to be able to say. How does it feel to transform into a Killer? Did you have nightmares again after being unconscious? Henry asked very sternly. He knew very well that every time he transformed, he would merge with Baal's consciousness once, and if he did it too many times, he would naturally be affected, and even the most kind people would slowly become evil.
"I ...... I...... I dreamed of Baal again...... He said I should embrace bloodline and strength...... Then the body begins to get out of control...... Killing and anger filled the brain in an instant...... I don't remember anything after that. Aberdale sighed involuntarily after he finished speaking. He himself knew that the situation was obviously quite bad, especially the part where he lost consciousness was definitely not a good sign......
