"There's something wrong with that Oceanic Beast."
After returning to the deck, Cradle looked around and frowned.
Beside him, Radel and Adil, who had returned to their original appearances, nodded in agreement.
"Although the ox-headed Oceanic Beast is a rare and powerful Merfolk, it is usually only on par with a level 3 Acolyte. For it to be so unyielding while facing three of us at the same time is not their usual style."
Adil said as he glanced at Crady and Radel, who were standing at the side.
"Unless … there's something below that's holding up this Oceanic Beast, making it so that it won't give way even if it offends us."
Radel's eyes lit up as he spoke of this possibility.
"That's very possible. Once we're done here, we'll go down and take a look."
Cradle's eyes also lit up as he looked at the two and said, "As for now, let's take care of the remaining Merfolk.
After all, the corpses of the Merfolk are worth some magic crystals, especially that ox-headed Oceanic Beast's corpse. It's worth at least a thousand magic crystals. "
He looked at the two of them and said with a smile.
"I'll take this ox-headed Oceanic Beast's blood."
Adil suddenly said, "I've been doing some experiments recently, and I need the blood of some powerful creatures."
As he spoke, he looked at Radel, evidently very interested in the bloodline modification Radel had performed.
Hearing Adil's words, Cradle and Radel nodded in agreement.
To ordinary Sorcerers, although powerful high-energy creatures were precious, just their blood was not very useful. It was not as valuable as the other ingredients.
After chatting for a while, Cradle left. It seemed that he was going to take care of some matters on the ship, leaving Adil and Radel behind.
As he watched Cradle leave, Adil looked around.
At this moment, after the large number of Merfolk had attacked, the deck was in a mess. Blood and flesh were scattered everywhere, and it was unknown which side had left them behind.
Some ordinary sailors began to clean up the deck, collecting the flesh and blood and placing them to the side.
On the other side of the deck, the bull-headed sea beast had already been fished out. It was currently lying there in Silence. Because the materials on its body were too precious, it hadn't been cut up yet.
"Let's go and take a look first."
After standing on the spot for a while, Adil suggested as he looked at Radel.
Standing on the spot, Radel didn't have any objections and nodded his head in agreement.
After a while, they walked forward for a distance and arrived next to the sea beast's corpse.
The vitality of this bull-headed sea beast was too tenacious. It had struggled for a long time before it slowly died. At this moment, the corpse was covered with wounds of various sizes. Specks of crimson blood mixed with a bit of turbid blood flowed out, but it had yet to dry up.
Looking at this scene, after a moment of hesitation, he gently stretched out his hand, dipped his finger in a bit of the blood, and brought it before his eyes.
"A.I. Chip, zoom in," he instructed the A.I. Chip in his mind.
In an instant, his vision began to change, and the blood in front of him began to take on a different form.
Large amounts of useless impurities, the nutrients in the blood, and the parasites in the blood all appeared before his eyes.
Under the cover of the large amounts of microscopic substances, Adil could see what was hidden in the depths of the blood.
It was a bloodline chain, and under the magnification of a million times, it revealed a grey luster.
Large amounts of bloodline chains gathered and intertwined with each other, but they didn't form a complete bloodline imprint, only a small embryonic form.
"In the end, it's just an ordinary high-energy creature. It can't compare to those with ancient bloodlines."
Looking at the blood in his hand, Adil shook his head.
With a light wave of his hand, the energy particles in the surroundings began to gather, evaporating the blood in his hand.
After doing this, Adil walked forward, and his right hand began to glow with a faint red light.
As magic power flashed, the blood of the sea beast seemed to be attracted by something, and began to gather on Adil's hand.
The large amounts of blood slowly condensed, and after the water evaporated, they condensed into red blood essences that were carefully collected by Adil.
"Eh, this spell isn't bad," a surprised voice sounded from the side.
Seeing Adil's actions, Radel looked interested, "With this spell, collecting blood will be much easier in the future. There won't be a need to go through the tedious extraction process."
"Adil, you seem to be quite proficient in this area."
He looked at Adil, who was busy in front of him, and smiled.
"Not at all, I just did some shallow experiments. I can't compare to you in this area."
Hearing Radel's words, Adil turned around and smiled, "Your appearance before should have involved a bloodline transformation, right?"
"That's right!" Hearing Adil's words, Radel did not try to hide anything, "It was a very thorough transformation, and I was implanted with part of the bloodline of an amphibious creature."
He did not try to hide anything. Even if he did not say anything, a level 3 Acolyte would be able to guess it sooner or later.
"I've heard of this transformation before. It should be very dangerous. Won't there be any side effects?"
Standing by the side, Adil could not help but frown as he confirmed his thoughts.
Many Magi had conducted experiments on human body transformation before, but those who would choose to do it on themselves were usually official Magi. It was usually very dangerous for an Acolyte to do it.
"There's nothing I can do."
Hearing Adil's words, Radel revealed a bitter expression, "I tried to break through to become a true Magus before."
"No wonder." Hearing Radel's words, Adil's eyes flashed with understanding.
According to the information that Adil knew, if a level 3 Acolyte failed to break through to become a true Magus, there was a high chance that they would die on the spot. Even if they were lucky enough to survive, their potential and life force would be greatly depleted, and they would not be able to live for long.
From Radel's appearance, it did not seem like he had successfully broken through. It was understandable that he would try to transform his body and implant a bloodline into his body to obtain new life force.
As for the dangers involved, they were nothing to someone who was about to die.
"It's actually not as dangerous as you think."
Radel shook his head, "My mentor is an expert in this field. With his familiarity with this field, even though it is a little dangerous to transform a level 3 Acolyte like me, it is not as frightening as you think."
"That's not easy," Adil lamented as he stood on the spot.
The relationship between Magi was usually very thin. Apart from true inheritances, official Magi would not even care about the acolytes they were in charge of. Some official Magi would even use their acolytes as experimental subjects.
Putting aside the risks involved in Radel's experiments, just the cost of hiring an official Magus was enough to make any acolyte's heart ache.
"Let's end this topic here."
Shaking his head, Radel smiled, "I'm very interested in the spell you just used. From the way you did it, you should be very knowledgeable in this field. Do you want to trade?"
"Trade?"
Adil was taken aback for a moment before responding, "That's not a problem. I'm also very interested in your knowledge of bloodline transformation."
As he spoke, his face revealed an expression of interest.
Adil was indeed very interested in this field.
With the help of the A.I. Chip, Adil had obtained some extremely pure ancient bloodlines, which he had kept with him until now.
These pure ancient bloodlines were, of course, extremely precious, but Adil was still a little hesitant about their specific use. If he could obtain some knowledge about bloodline modification, perhaps he could try to use these purified ancient bloodlines to conduct experiments in this aspect.
Even if he did not use them on himself, it would be good to use them to train his subordinates.
"Then it's settled," Radel nodded his head and said.
They chatted for a while longer, and after they had agreed on a time to trade, Crady slowly walked over.
"What are you talking about?"
As he approached them, he looked at Adil and Radell before him and said casually, "Don't worry.
"Nothing much."
Radel shook his head, the iron cane in his hand drooping to the ground. He then looked at Leylin, "Are you done with your business?"
"Almost done."
Seeing Radel's expression, Crady did not ask any more questions and nodded, "Get ready, we'll go down and take a look."
"Alright!"
The other two nodded in agreement.
Very quickly, they finished their preparations.
Adil and Crady first cast spells on themselves before slowly descending. Radel, on the other hand, did not seem to need any spells and could survive in the sea for a short period of time.
"Let's go," a faint spiritual force sounded, carrying a unique frequency.
In the sea, they could not speak using normal methods. They could only use their powerful spiritual force to simulate a unique frequency and use a special secret language to communicate.
In the sea, the three of them looked at each other and walked forward in unison.
As they continued to descend, the surrounding water pressure began to increase.
