Chapter 947

…

…

As the sea breeze blew, one could vaguely smell a strange odor coming from the huge skeleton. The odor permeated the small port.

The wooden walkway at the harbor was crowded with people. They had never seen anything like this before. All kinds of terrifying rumors began to spread among the crowd. It was likely that the rumors would spread across the streets of Tinuoaya City in no time.

"This … this thing is a little big, too big!" Zhao Manting swallowed hard. His eyes almost popped out of their sockets.

When they were looking down from the plane, they already felt that the white thing did not match the little harbor. However, when they landed and took a closer look, they realized that the skeleton was indeed shocking.

"How did a creature of this level end up like this? Its bones seem to be intact, but there's not a single drop of blood or flesh on its body, let alone its organs!" Nanyu said.

"Jiang Yu, take a look at what kind of creature it is," Mo Fan nudged the expert beside him and asked in a serious tone.

Zhao Manting was left speechless. He blurted out, "Aren't you being too difficult!?"

"This should be a Coastal Mammoth. Its head and upper body look like an ancient mammoth, but its lower body is that of a whale. It usually lives in the deep sea and doesn't belong to the Sea Beasts or Sea Demons that like to disturb humans. However, it is an extremely tyrannical creature that even the most ferocious Sea Demons have to take a detour to avoid. This thing needs to eat more than ten Sea Demons a day to maintain the normal functions of its body, and it always swallows them whole … They also have a nickname, the Ship Killer. According to the historical records, there have been at least a hundred cruise ships destroyed by these Coastal Mammoths, and they were all Magicians, whose endurance is comparable to a Commander-level creature … "Jiang Yu said in a single breath.

Mo Fan nodded, while Zhao Manting's jaw almost dropped to the ground.

Holy crap, Jiang Yu was still able to recognize the species of the Coastal Mammoth even though it was just a pile of skeletons. Wasn't his ability to identify the species a little too ridiculous? There were not many creatures of this size in the mysterious ocean, but there were quite a few of them!

"It's been less than two days since it died," Jiang Yu said.

"Such a huge creature? It would take a long time for its body to decompose after death. How could it be less than two days? "Mo Fan said.

"Look at its teeth … oh, those aren't horns, they're tusks, the kind that look like ivory. The tusks of a Coastal Mammoth are worth more than ten million. They can be used to craft magic armor and Deathstrike Magic Equipment. The tusks of a Coastal Mammoth are only starting to turn black now. After a Coastal Mammoth dies, its tusks will turn black in just a few days, like charcoal. Once they turn black, the tusks will become worthless, "Jiang Yu said.

Mo Fan lifted his gaze and stared at the tusks that were flying in the air. As Jiang Yu had mentioned, they were starting to turn black.

"I still don't understand. The ocean is huge, so it's understandable that there are creatures stronger than the Coastal Mammoth, but this skeleton is perfectly intact. It doesn't seem like it was hit by any impact. Even if the Coastal Mammoth was killed instantly by the creature, where did its skin, flesh, organs, and blood go? Besides, aren't bones supposed to be heavy? Why are they floating on the surface of the ocean like a ship? "Nanyu fell into deep thought.

"You guys really like to meddle in other people's business. Let's go to their Training Hall and take them out. We can move on to the next location!"

Obviously, no one could explain the shocking scene on the beach, including the Hunter Groups that had been in Tinuoaya City for many years.

However, the residents in the south were panicking when they saw the giant skeleton docked at the harbor. A Coastal Mammoth could easily destroy the city if it trespassed into the city, let alone a demon that could easily kill a Coastal Mammoth hiding in the ocean!

Fear was contagious. They could hear people whispering among themselves on the streets, most of them discussing the incident that had taken place in the afternoon.

Most of the news agencies had already started drafting their articles to make the headlines the next day …

Mo Fan was a curious man. The sight of the skeleton was quite shocking, but that was not the main point. The main point was, how did the Coastal Mammoth die?

"Jiang Yu, how strong are the Coastal Mammoths?" Mo Fan could not help but ask.

"The weakest one would be a Great Commander-level creature. The creature on the beach, judging from its teeth and size, it's very likely close to a Ruler-level creature," said Jiang Yu.

"Close … close to a Ruler-level creature … Jiang Yu, don't scare me like that!" Zhao Manting shuddered!

If a creature that was close to a Ruler-level creature had died in such a horrible way, wouldn't it imply that there was a real Ruler-level creature close to Tinuoaya City, one that was bloodthirsty and carnivorous?

Everyone did not think much of it before Jiang Yu mentioned the creature's level, but it was a completely different story now. It felt like they did not feel safe even though they were surrounded by the whole city.

"Let's hurry up and fight in the Training Hall. After that, we'll leave by plane."

"…"

…

Mo Fan was not interested in the Training Hall Tournament in Portugal. On the contrary, the more he listened to Jiang Yu, the more excited he was about the skeleton on the beach.

"Just go if you want to, we should be able to handle the Training Hall Tournament," said Ai Jiangtu helplessly when he saw the uneasiness in Mo Fan's eyes.

"Hehe, I'll leave it to you then! Come, let's go watch some gossip. "

"How is that gossip? It's basically a horror story!"

Zhao Manting was unwilling to go, but he was dragged away by Mo Fan. Jiang Shaoxu, who loved thrills the most, joined the team too. To everyone's surprise, even Mu Ningxue, who was not interested in anything other than her cultivation, had left the team and followed behind the little team.

"Mo Fan, it's obvious that Mu Ningxue is the kind of woman who is cold on the outside, but passionate on the inside. She's an adventurous and adventurous woman. When you push her down one day … oh no, one day, she will surely push you down one day, and you will experience her wild side!" Zhao Manting was indeed a pervert. He could even come up with such a shameless deduction for something so insignificant.

"If she hears what you just said, I won't be able to save your life even if I transform," said Mo Fan.

"Hehehe …" Zhao Manting let out a hollow laugh.

Mo Fan was quite surprised that Mu Ningxue was interested in the skeleton, too.

However, Mo Fan soon realized that he had made a mistake. While the group was heading toward the skeleton, Mu Ningxue had taken a different path and disappeared into the alleys by the sea.

The alleys by the sea were like a maze. Mo Fan did not notice where Mu Ningxue had gone. He had no choice but to continue heading toward the Skeleton Estuary.

…

Mu Ningxue was walking through the alleys. Her wooden heels stepped on the stairs, the sound echoing in the narrow alleys.

Unknowingly, she had already walked to a stone bridge. This stone bridge crossed over the foundation on this side and led to the other side of the mountain where the seaside villas were located. There was a shallow beach under the bridge. The seawater was rising and submerging the shallow beach, turning the sand under the stone bridge into a small river …

Outside the bridge was an unclean beach. It was very narrow, and the sea was blocked by the mansions. Only a small corner of the sea could be seen.

Mu Ningxue was lost in the complicated terrain when the sea breeze blew at her. Her silver hair scattered disheveled, revealing her beautiful face with snow-white skin …

"Sigh, it's the third one this month." An old man who was smoking at the end of the stone bridge let out a deep sigh. He was staring at the black bag by the beach.

There was someone on the beach. It was a Fire Magician in a red outfit. In front of the Fire Magician was a pile of wood, and on top of it was something wrapped in a black bag.

Someone tore the black bag open, revealing a man in fresh clothes. The man did not show any signs of life, and was lying on the wooden frame.

The Fire Magician completed the Star Orbit and ignited the pile of wood with a golden flame. The whole pile was engulfed in flames, and the young man lying on top of it was swiftly devoured.

Mu Ningxue was startled when she saw the flames rising into the sky.

Cremation?

Why were they holding the cremation by the shoal?

Cremations like this were usually carried out for people who had died of diseases. Could it be that the beautiful city was actually infected by a disease?

"Old man, what did you just say?" Mu Ningxue went up to the old man and asked.

The old man was speaking in English. Tinuoaya City had many different races, so many of them could speak English.

"It's the third cremation this month," the old man said.

"Did he die of illness?" Mu Ningxue asked.

"If he died of illness, the people wouldn't be so worried," the old man said.

"Why?"

"You shouldn't listen to it. You'll have nightmares if you do," the old man shook his head.

"I want to know."

The old man stared at the flames for a long time, as if he was waiting for the flames to burn the ominous corpse into ashes.

After some time, the old man said, "Instead of dying of illness, it's more like suicide. No, no, it's a curse … because they all went to the beach and soaked themselves in the water to suffocate and die …"

"Did you see it?" Mu Ningxue frowned and asked sternly.

"Yeah, I saw it. If you count all of them, this isn't the third one I've seen here."

Mu Ningxue's heart sank.

She had come here because she had overheard a few women on the street talking about it when she was passing by. Mu Ningxue initially thought they were talking about the corpse, but she immediately recalled the strange incident she had stumbled into in the East Maritime Fortress in Japan!

The Drowning Curse!

Back then, Mu Ningxue had witnessed a female Magician running into the ocean in a panic. Her body had turned white in just a short period of time, and she had drowned to death!

Now, she had stumbled into it again, and it happened in a seaside city in Portugal, half a world away!
