About twenty minutes passed.
Eugenice, who had finished cleaning his body (about three hundred cubic meters of seawater had turned into a life forbidden zone, and two thousand cubic meters of seawater had been contaminated), put on a multi-layered cotton-padded jacket, and met Han Dong on the deck.
The Coral was crossing the floating ice area and would officially dock in about three hours.
Han Dong also told Eugenice about the encounter in the passage.
The latter's expression didn't change much, but he frowned slightly.
"I didn't expect that 'thing' would come to greet us before we landed. Since you were the first to encounter it, Nicholas, it was probably attracted by you."
"Me? By the way, what is this thing? I clearly saw 'it' with the naked eye just now, and my domain was completely locked on.
It took me less than a second to catch up, but this thing disappeared … as if it had evaporated into thin air. I've only encountered such a situation when I was in contact with Grimm. "
Eugenice scratched his eyeballs with his fingers and whispered:
"'Possession Monster,' an individual that can rely on an outer shell to exist directly in the state of consciousness.
You were able to see it just now because it 'deliberately let you see it' through the projection of consciousness … Obviously, it has designs on you.
There were many of these things that came to our world at the beginning. In the absence of information, a large number of Hybrid Demons were unknowingly possessed, resulting in a large number of internal secrets being leaked … This was one of the main reasons for the subsequent large-scale cataclysm.
Today, a very small number of Possession Monsters still exist in Antarctica and are confined here.
They can't escape the membrane that covers Antarctica purely in the state of consciousness.
However, what you just encountered should be a relatively high-end Possession Monster. It's rare to see one that can affect reality. "
Han Dong didn't care how advanced this thing was. If it came to possess him, that thing would be courting death … Han Dong was more concerned about another matter.
"Eugenice, does Antarctica exist in a 'captive' way?"
Eugenice didn't deny it. "Yes … The cataclysm in ancient times set our world back thousands of years. Many old kings fell, and countless Hybrid Demons died in battle.
Naturally, this matter can't be let go.
Some of the invaders that caused the cataclysm were bred here for us to conduct in-depth research.
However, the relationship here is more complicated. When we arrive at the ruins of the Ancients, you'll naturally know … "
At this moment.
A chill swept over the three people standing at the end of the deck.
When Han Dong turned around, he saw a woman similar to a "frozen corpse" appear about ten meters behind him.
As Eugenice said, she only projected her consciousness image to Han Dong. Nobody else could see it.
"Have they come?" asked Eugenice.
"Hmm … Similar to a frozen corpse, female, human appearance."
"It will project a projection based on your subjective consciousness. It's normal for you to see a human appearance … With your consciousness, you should be able to resist it, right? After all, you and Grimm have defeated a mythical being from another world together. "
"No problem."
Han Dong wasn't afraid at all on the level of consciousness. He already had Tuogu on standby in his body.
As long as this thing dared to possess the body, a series of hellish acupuncture, massage, and lava baths would be waiting for it.
Seeing that the frozen corpse was approaching, Han Dong made preparations.
A magnet flew out from behind and smashed into the wooden crate next to the monster's body.
Suddenly, a black sticky substance similar to a "net" overflowed from the wooden crate and instantly wrapped the "monster" that looked like a frozen corpse.
The capture was successful.
"What good luck!
I didn't expect to capture a "monster" that can affect reality as soon as we arrived at the floating ice area. "
A familiar voice came.
The brawny man who had guided Han Dong and others onto the ship slowly walked over. He was holding the magnet that had just broken the wooden crate, or rather, his palm was the magnet.
He took off his gloves, revealing a palm with a rock structure.
"Lord Messenger, are you all right? That monster just now seemed to be very interested in you. "
The brawny man's words contained a certain sense of contempt.
In the situation just now, Han Dong, the Messenger of the Deep Sea, seemed to be frightened and stood at the bow of the ship without any movement.
"It's all right. It's the first time I've encountered such a thing.
I heard that the monster is a pure consciousness. Only the target it wants to possess can see it. How did you capture it? "
Clang! Clang! The brawny man knocked on the helmet with his stone palm.
The back of the helmet was clearly printed with the school emblem of Miskatonic University. It was obviously made by this school.
"This thing can achieve the effect of consciousness imaging … By the way, you don't even have the most basic consciousness imaging device, and you actually came to Antarctica? Are you really not afraid of death? After all, this is the Hybrid Demon Forbidden Area.
I advise you to go back. Anyway, the "membrane" is not too far away. I don't mind wasting some time to send you out of the circle. "
"It's all right. We still have some preparations."
"Okay."
The brawny man didn't insist on anything.
In case Han Dong died in Antarctica, he could also collect the corpse.
…
Three hours passed.
The Coral successfully docked.
The brawny man threw a coral anchor that weighed several tons and steadily drilled into the thick ice … They officially set foot on the Antarctic continent.
"Hey, Lord Messenger … Do you want to consider hiring us?
According to what you said, if you want to find the ancient ointment or the medical equipment left behind by the Ancients, you must go to the [Meat Mountain].
I'm afraid you will encounter unimaginable dangers along the way. "
Han Dong wanted to refuse.
Unexpectedly, Eugene suddenly said, "With this group of experienced Antarctic hunters, it can save a lot of trouble. "
"What's the price?"
"It depends on what price the Lord Messenger can give. All kinds of props and materials are fine. According to the price you give, we will determine the escort distance.
If the price is satisfactory, we are willing to accompany you all the way and even help you find medical equipment. "
Han Dong didn't have anything in his hands, and he couldn't give out all kinds of destiny equipment.
So he pointed to the [Coral of the Deep Sea] behind them. "Is this ship okay? As long as I can return safely, I will directly apply to the port. "
After that, Han Dong directly wrote a letter of commitment, signed his name, and imprinted a deep sea mark on the back of his hand.
"Deal!
We are willing to escort you all the way … The Lord is really generous. It seems that the identity of your friend is also very special, worthy of such a high price.
However, there are some things that have to be made clear in advance.
We can control the situation outside the Meat Mountain, but it's hard to say inside the Meat Mountain.
Once you enter the Meat Mountain area, you need to listen to our orders … We will do our best to help you find medical remnants. "
"Okay."
"If you don't mind, help us move these goods. You just saw that the things in these wooden crates have a very good binding effect on the 'Possessed Monsters'.
When we set off later, you will follow me and walk in the middle of the team to make sure nothing goes wrong. "
"Thank you."
"As long as the money is in place, everything is negotiable."
