This is a silver-white, unknown egg-shaped object. It is embedded near the heart of the giant beast. It expands and contracts under the wash of purple blood, and the whole body emits a faint fluorescence.
Joshua grabbed it and pulled it out suddenly. He heard a "pop" sound immediately, and the silver egg was caught in the palm of his hand, beating powerfully.
Standing in a pool of blood on the ground, the headless corpse of the giant beast in front of him twitched violently because of the departure of the silver-white egg. However, the soldier turned the egg-shaped object over and over several times, except that he found a tight ring behind it. Suckers and a tube-like stinger that appeared to suck blood were found outside and without any distinguishing features.
Based on his many years of experience, he was unable to identify the origin of this thing, and there was not even anything similar.
"Weird thing, I originally thought that the mammoth giant beast, the Mad Dragon Virus, had entered its brain and had given birth to the black dragon's larvae in its body. That's why it was so violent. It was as if it was bent on death and came to attack the city. But I didn't expect... It would actually happen. Is it this kind of thing?”
After squeezing it a little harder, Joshua discovered that although the silver egg looked very delicate and fragile, it was actually very tough inside. Although the force he used just now was not very strong, it was enough to crush a handful of walnuts with his bare hands - he could withstand this. It is durable enough to mean that it is not a normal biological tissue: "The egg of some kind of monster? A parasitic monster? It grows near the heart and has a straw. It can't be a tumor, right?"
Guessing was useless. After thinking for a while, Joshua finally recalled that he still had a system, so he immediately called the system, and without saying a word, he threw an identification technique at it.
[...Item identification is in progress... The judgment of biological knowledge was successful, the judgment of ancient knowledge failed, and the judgment of strange object knowledge was successful.]
[Appraisal report:]
[Abyss Derivatives·Transformation—Ancient Rare Objects]
[Biology: In the abyss in the southern part of the Mycroft continent, there are many species that survived the ancient times, and the huge Abyss Demonic Dragon is one of them. Legend has it that this giant snake-like beast with a body length of more than 400 meters is not a native species of Mycroft, but comes from a water world with no land and only oceans. It feeds on other giant sea kings, but often fails to catch food because of its slow movement. For this reason, the Abyss Dragon has evolved a strange hunting method - Abyss derivatives.]
[Ancient times: The Abyss Demonic Dragon once had a primitive deep-sea civilization, but due to the assimilation of the astral dragon clan... ]
[Strange object: Before entering the body of a living creature, the derivatives of the abyss will continuously release a kind of pheromone, which can attract most of the monsters and arouse their appetite. After entering the body of a living thing, it will parasitize in places with frequent blood flow, absorb nutrients, and release a powerful violent hormone. Its effect is equivalent to the high-level violent potion, which can destroy the sanity of all creatures with a mental perception below 30 points. While its strength is greatly increased, it also creates a desire to challenge the strongest creature nearby.]
[Comprehensive: It has been transformed by advanced intelligent creatures, and the aura of the Abyss Demonic Dragon has become very weak.]
The dense characters of the system appeared on the front of Joshua's retina.
"Abyss Demonic Dragon... I remember it is a subordinate race of the five-color dragon. After the five-color dragon god was knocked down from the outside of the world by the metal dragon god and the god of justice, he was joined by the metal dragon and the distant sea saint for helping to cause the mad dragon disaster. The church power on the mountain was completely wiped out.”
Frowning, Joshua found out the reason why he didn't know this thing - the Abyss Demonic Dragon race was exterminated because of the epic plot of "Crazy Dragon Disaster" before he went to sea in his previous life, and he didn't even have a single one. How could I remember such a monster after killing it
But in this case, the confusion becomes even greater - why does the hunting method of a deep-sea race appear in the body of a mammoth giant beast in the black forest of the North? He was also transformed by higher creatures... Wait!
Too much information poured in, and a line suddenly flashed in the warrior's mind, connecting many scattered pieces of information together.
The Black Erosion Dragon, the Mad Dragon Virus, the Black Tide... the five-color dragon, the Abyss Demonic Dragon, the mad dragon disaster in the future...
Why would the God of Justice take action to help the Metal Dragon God defeat its old enemy, knock down the Five Color Dragon God to the mortal world, and connect with the other six gods of the human race to mercilessly destroy any race related to it
Why can the five-color dragon clan from the star realm drive a large number of original dragons and cause a dragon disaster that sweeps the entire world
The inspiration was coming out, but he still couldn't figure it out. Joshua knew that there must be some inexplicable connection between them, but he couldn't really connect them together. At this time, he couldn't help but started to regret why he didn't read more about this on the forum. It is a high-quality textual research post, otherwise it would not be like this, half-understanding and worrying.
But in fact, this is also the norm. Except for the research party, who would think about the ins and outs of an epic mission in a game? It would be nice to know the general plot.
In fact, Joshua himself only decided to play this game because of the bloody fights at the 18-level forbidden level in Strife Continent, and there are also many people who just play it just to enjoy the scenery. As for delving into the inner context of a game plot? It’s really hard for people like them.
"I should change my thinking. The world has actually changed too much because of my existence, and it can no longer be used as a basis for inference."
If I hadn't traveled through time...
Without the experience of a former legendary warrior, it is unclear whether the original Joshua could survive on the orc battlefield, but if he were alive, he would probably still be competing for the earl title with his cheap uncle Danlia.
In this case, the Black Forest Fortress without gold-level guards will definitely fall after being attacked by the black tide and golden beasts. Then tens of thousands of wild beasts will pour into the Moldavia Territory, causing heavy casualties, and even the main city. All will be conquered, and other northern territories will not be spared.
St. Laurent's Cathedral is the largest church of the God of Power and Justice in the North, and most people in the entire North are his believers. No matter how indifferent the god is to worldly affairs, he cannot be indifferent to this loss.
After all, in addition to the Northern Territory, the southern and central parts of the empire also suffered heavy casualties due to the mad black tide caused by the Mad Dragon Virus. Even the directly affiliated Central Army Corps mobilized urgently, banned all levels, and then wiped out the Warcraft in one district.
"If we say that the Chaos Black Eclipse Dragon was a biological weapon experiment conducted by the Five-Colored Dragon in order to control the original dragon, and was not driven away by the Heavenly Hui Dragon, it can be explained."
It was possible, but Joshua needed more evidence to prove his guess.
Thinking about it, as long as he kills the Chaos Black Erosion Dragon who doesn't know where it is hidden, and see if there are any traces of transformation similar to the Abyss Demonic Dragon in its body, then he can confirm whether everything is as expected.
"Interesting... It seems that the so-called history was completely changed on the first day I came to this world."
Shaking his head, Joshua decided to put this matter aside for the time being and think about it carefully later. He transformed the giant sword in his hand back into a tiny model and inserted it into a groove on his waist. The warrior Holding the still-beating Abyss derivative in his left hand, he grabbed the fangs of the dead beast with one hand and dragged the huge head towards the black forest.
As he walked, the coercion spread, and the surrounding monsters retreated spontaneously. After a low howl, many monster leaders quickly retreated into the Black Forest with a large number of their kin. Even the monsters on the other side of the fortress who were still climbing the city wall also retreated. They all retreated quickly, not daring to move forward.
Just like a fortress without a golden strongman will be easily broken by a golden behemoth, a wave of demons without a golden monster can easily be dispersed and repelled by a golden strongman alone. The instinct engraved in the bones of these monsters tells them that this time It's time to retreat. Unlike the mammoth beasts that were parasitized and deeply infected, although these monsters were crazy, they were not so violent that they would die in front of Joshua.
Therefore, a few minutes later, the originally chaotic battlefield was suddenly filled with corpses and ruins. Joshua stood on a hillside with many beast corpses. He raised the head of the golden beast and headed towards the fortress. The city guards on the city wall are on display.
There was silence.
Then there was a roar of cheers.
