Caesar's behavior at the moment had actually explained a lot of things. It seemed that he did hide something from them.
After that, he was pinned to the ground by two young swordsmen, and his hands were tied up. Although Caesar was a level-3 mage, he was no different from an ordinary person without a magic staff by his side. However, this guy was obviously determined to fight to the end. When he was pinned down, he was still stubborn and insisted that he was framed. In fact, apart from Shirley, no one believed his nonsense. However, with his illustrious family background, without sufficient evidence, they would not be able to do anything to him. Of course, the premise was that everyone could walk out of the underground city alive.
Teacher Harvey actually had some relationship with the Andrea family, but he did not have time to worry about Caesar's current situation. The grade 3 mage was more concerned about another matter. He looked at the young noble and asked, "When will that monster come back?"
Caesar shook his head and said, "I don't know."
The people next to him almost couldn't help but want to beat this guy up. At this time, he was still playing dumb. In order to protect his ridiculous reputation, he actually ignored the lives of everyone else. Teacher Harvey frowned and said, "I can guarantee that what happened here today will not be spread out.
Mr. Harvey frowned. "I can guarantee that what happened here today will not spread. You should have been here for a while. No matter why the monster let you go, you should have a certain understanding of it. At least you can tell us its usual habits, how long it usually goes out, how long has it been since it last left its lair, what is its strength level, and if it has any weaknesses."
"Of course." Caesar appeared to be very proactive on the surface. He also knew that his current situation was not very optimistic. "Don't be deceived by that guy's lies. Of course, I'm willing to share the information I have with you. Our goal is the same, and we all want to get rid of that monster as soon as possible. However, there are some things that I really don't know. I was captured not long ago, so I have limited knowledge about its habits and whatnot. I only know that its current abilities are transfiguration and parasitism. These underground skin tissues are torn from its body every time it transforms. The last time it left its nest should be a day ago. I don't know when it will come back."
Mr. Harvey was a little disappointed when he heard that. Although Caesar was very cooperative, the information he could get from him was very limited. All he knew was that the monster seemed to be able to transform into other people. Most importantly, he still had no idea about its strength. He glanced at Rob from the corner of his eyes and realized that the latter did not care about the conversation between him and Caesar. Instead, he was using this time to check the remaining giant white eggs.
After spending some time together, Teacher Harvey had a whole new level of respect for this inconspicuous Swordsman freshman. This fellow's observational skills and knowledge were superior to others. He even felt a little pity for him. If this fellow had magical talent, even if it was of the lowest grade, his future achievements would be limitless.
However, this was not the time to lament about such things. The unknown monster that sneaked into the freshmen arena was like a sharp blade, hanging in everyone's heart. Mr. Harvey could not help but ask, "Did you find anything?"
Rob grunted. He was still very polite to Mr. Harvey. He pointed at the giant white eggs and said, "The people inside should still have self-awareness."
"Hey, you mean they can still be saved?" Mr. Harvey was surprised and overjoyed when he heard that. This was the first good news he had heard since he came to this place. Most of the people who went missing were inside these giant white eggs. From Caesar's description, all of them had become containers for the monster, and there was nothing they could do about it.
Previously, Ivan had tried to save his good friend, Chavier, from the giant white egg, but it resulted in the latter's death. Moreover, the worm had crawled out of Chavier's chest, and when they examined Chavier's body, they noticed that all of Chavier's internal organs had disappeared. Naturally, they deduced that Chavier could not be saved. The reason he was still alive was because of the milky white liquid. Once he left the giant egg, he would die very soon.
"It's not like that. The milky white liquid is indeed something similar to nutrients, but the monster's detached organs don't have a digestive system. They can't directly extract the nutrients they need from the milky white liquid, so the monster came up with a solution. It uses the digestive system of other creatures to extract nutrients, and then its offspring will absorb the nutrients. This is also the reason why it chose this parasitic method to reproduce. From the looks of it, the monster seems to want to recycle the people in the giant egg."
Mr. Harvey was taken aback. "But Chavier's internal organs have disappeared."
"That's because someone destroyed the giant white egg and startled the worm in Chavier's body. It sensed danger from the outside world and forced itself to evolve to the point where it could move freely without its host. Because of that, it needed a large amount of nutrients, so it ate the host's internal organs," Rob explained.
"But if that's the case, how can we save them?" Mr. Harvey was having a headache. If they didn't break the giant white egg, they wouldn't be able to save them. But if they did, the people inside would die immediately. "Or should we wait for the worms to finish growing and leave?"
"These worms are at least grade three or four when they finish growing. It won't be easy to deal with so many of them together. Plus, we don't know if they can reproduce through parasitic division. If they leave another part of the host's body to continue growing, we'll be stuck in an endless loop." The future supreme magister Your Honor shook his head. "I don't have any good ideas."
Luo Bu wasn't exactly lying. In order to get rid of the parasites in these people's bodies without destroying the giant eggs, one would either need the help of a Bishop-level priest or several high-grade magic potions. Either way, it was unlikely to be possible in this arena that had been cut off from the outside world.
Mr. Harvey's expression was solemn. "We have to tell Mr. Xavier what happened as soon as possible."
