"What the hell is that thing?"
After returning to the Tendo Temple, Fangzheng was still puzzled. The tentacle monster was not that powerful. Fangzheng had sensed it during the battle. It was a monster that even the Cursed Children could easily deal with. But there were so many of them, and it had such a strange regeneration speed …. No, it wasn't regeneration, but Fangzheng couldn't tell what it was. After all, he was sure that both the Angel of Death and the First Flame of the Soul had taken away the other party's soul, and things without souls could not be regenerated ….
"Master."
While Fangzheng was deep in thought, NIMF raised her hand and said.
"Um …. Excuse me …."
"What's wrong? Nimf, did you find anything? "
"Yes."
Hearing Fangzheng's response, Nimf nodded, then turned on her personal terminal.
"While you were fighting just now, I did some investigation on the monster and found that it's not a single lifeform like we thought, but a group of creatures …."
"Wait a minute, a group? Why can't I tell? "
Fangzheng understood what Nimf meant. Small fishes in the sea often did the same thing. Thousands of fishes gathered together would look like a big fish. From a distance, it did indeed look like a huge monster at first glance. This kind of thing had happened before. But Fangzheng was sure that the tentacles he dealt with seemed to come from a single entity.
"Because …. these creatures are very small."
"How small?"
"Three nanometers …."
"…."
Well, Fangzheng really couldn't tell.
"So you're saying that I'm not dealing with a single monster, but a group of monsters made up of nanometer-sized creatures?"
At this point, Fangzheng finally understood why his Death Storm and Soul First Flame were useless. He also understood why the chocolate-bean-sized firewood was useless. Speaking of which, if this thing could cover three football fields, then it wouldn't be in the hundreds of millions, it would be in the trillions!
"This thing doesn't have a core or something?"
According to the rules of movies and games, this kind of thing usually had a core. As long as the core was destroyed, wouldn't it be over?
"This.... according to my investigation, this seems to be a primitive single-celled organism. It doesn't have a core. They seem to resonate with the magic waves of the spirit crystals and act instinctively … "
As expected, games, movies, and novels were different from reality.
"… Then what should we do? Do you want me to get a big vacuum cleaner and put them in? "
Fangzheng was completely helpless. The feeling of having delicacies in front of him but not being able to eat them was too uncomfortable. In any case, even Fangzheng couldn't think of any good ideas. The only useful soul stone he had was Masael, but it wasn't very effective against this thing. As a huge group of creatures made up of countless nanometer-sized creatures … .this was indeed a problem.
As for using a big vacuum cleaner, that was just Fangzheng's nonsense. Although the defense of the tentacles was low, they had high attack speed and speed. Even Tanji, who had a plasma shield, was instantly killed. Where was he going to find a container that could store all these things?
If I transmigrated into Journey to the West and got a Purple Gold Gourd, wouldn't it be better than this thing? If I call out to it, it would dare to respond …. That thing doesn't even have a vocal organ, it really can't respond.
Fangzheng and Nimf studied for a while, but in the end, they only had a general understanding of the monster's characteristics. First of all, this was a very primitive single-celled aquatic organism (as Nimf said). Fangzheng had no objection to that. After all, there were so many spirit crystal veins. He heard that the veins in the north had been excavated recently, but Bishop Karl and the golden dragon girl had not told him about any monsters there. On the contrary, deep-sea mining was the first time in the main world. Although he didn't know whether it was a special case or a general case, it seemed that this kind of thing should only live in the spirit crystal veins at the bottom of the sea.
Of course, to be on the safe side, Fangzheng also used a prophecy spell to probe, in case this thing was a sealed demon or some other strange thing. The result of the prophecy spell made Fangzheng feel very relieved. It was not a problem left over from history, nor was it a seal that had been leaked, nor was it a sealed demon. It was just a simple biological disaster ….
Logically speaking, a biology major should definitely look for the Zerg, but when Fangzheng found Milune and explained it to her, the Zerg Queen shook her head desperately. She said that although the Zerg could transform and assimilate other races, nano-level creatures …. It would be very difficult to deal with them. The Zerg might not even be able to deal with them.
Let alone this kind of single-celled creature.
But Nimf came up with an idea.
"Master, I have a suggestion."
"What suggestion?"
"If we can capture that kind of creature, I may be able to analyze it. Because the basic structure and genes of single-celled creatures are the same, if the conditions are good enough, I can create a virus weapon that can specifically destroy the other party's genes. As long as you throw this virus weapon into the target area, you should be able to eliminate these strange creatures as quickly as possible."
Fangzheng felt goosebumps all over his body when he heard the naive Nimf say such a thing …. Create a genetic virus to exterminate the target group? Why didn't I know you were so vicious before, my little angel?
"This …. I'd better think about it."
Strangely enough, if Fangzheng was asked to burn all those monsters with a fire, he would not feel anything wrong. But if he was asked to spread a genetic virus that specifically targeted a certain group of creatures to exterminate them, Fangzheng would feel a lot of pressure.
Sure enough, the profession of a scientist came with its own element of danger. Even an artificial angel was no exception ….
But as the saying goes, three heads are better than one. Fangzheng and Nimf could not come up with a good idea, so they simply gathered everyone together to think of a solution.
Sure enough, there was strength in numbers. After listening to Fangzheng talk about the creatures hidden at the bottom of the sea, Tiria was the first to raise her hand and speak.
"Big brother, why don't we just let Hecate use its' Flame of Existence 'to burn all those things?"
This girl really wanted to harm Hecate every chance she got. With such a large area, Hecate's' Flame of Existence 'might not be able to last for long.
"It's no use. This method only treats the symptoms, not the root cause."
Fangzheng shook his head and rejected Tiria's opinion. Hecate's' Flame of Existence 'was very similar to Fangzheng's' Soul Flame '. If it caught something, it could burn it until it ran out. But the problem was that it was not a single monster, but a group of monsters. If it burned off any part of the chain, it could just slip away and find an opportunity to revive. Considering the numerous caves and crevices under the sea, it would not be so easy to burn them all.
Kuang San could not do anything about it. She could manipulate time, but she was helpless against a group of nano-level creatures. Illya's' Dream Summoning 'might be able to find a Servant to deal with those monsters, but her Servant summoning was random. No one knew who she would summon …. This kind of thing that depended on luck was not suitable here.
"I, I, I, I've got a good idea!"
At that moment, Blackie raised her hand high and jumped up. She stretched out her hand and pointed at Sigono, who was sitting next to her.
"Big brother, didn't you say that those monsters can only survive in the water? Then why don't we just let Sis Minae freeze the entire area? "
"This …. Huh? That's a good idea! "
Fangzheng nodded when he heard Blackie's suggestion. After thinking about it carefully, it was indeed a good idea. After all, they could not kill them all. So, they might as well freeze it first and extract the crystal mine from it. That was not a bad choice. But … .considering the location and size of the place, it was obviously not an easy task …. Or should he just transform into the Star Casting Dragon King? That seemed a little too much ….
"Sigono, can you do it?"
"This …."
Faced with Fangzheng's question, Sigono frowned. She thought about it carefully for a moment, then shook her head in distress.
"I, I don't know …. Mr. Fangzheng, I've never tried to freeze such a large area before …."
Although Sigono's "Ice Puppet" could indeed freeze everything, the area was too large. It was the size of three football fields, and from the surface to the bottom of the sea, including the crystal mine, it was about 5,500 meters deep. If he calculated the volume …. Fangzheng felt his head hurt.
It was no wonder that Sigono felt dizzy. Although the power of an elf was very strong, it also consumed spiritual energy. Whether Sigono's spiritual energy could support her freezing such a large area was a problem.
"It would be so much easier if we could separate the spirit crystal vein from the rest of the mine …"
Looking at the map in front of him, Fangzheng put his hand on his head and muttered to himself. If he could directly isolate this area from other seawater with a large spatial isolation spell, it should not take too much magic power for Sigono to freeze this area. But the problem was that Fangzheng did not have many spatial magic spells. Although there were similar defensive spells, the area of effect was not as large ….
"Father."
While Fangzheng was thinking about what to do next, Musashi, who had been silent all this while, suddenly spoke.
