Chapter 526 Huge Skeletons on the Coastline
Chapter 526 Huge Skeletons on the Coastline
"What kind of creature's skeleton is this? It's even bigger than the magic ship next to us!" Mu Nujiao whispered in Jiang Han's ear.
"Judging from the size of the skeleton, it was at least a sub-monarch level sea monster," Jiang Han calmly analyzed.
Jiang Han's analysis wasn't kept secret from anyone else. Upon hearing it, everyone on the plane gasped. Zhao Manyan suggested that they should go down and take a look, and see what kind of sea monster could be so big.
Jiang Han had some recollection of the skeleton that appeared on the coast of Tinoaia. In the original story, it seemed that the skeleton of this sea monster was parasitized by jellyfish maggots. Later on, the jellyfish maggots parasitizing the skeleton even transformed into the Wuhai Pseudo-Dragon.
Jellyfish maggots! They are the culprits of the drowning curse. If the government of Tinoaia doesn't take preventative measures, many people will die from jellyfish maggots. Therefore, Jiang Han plans to notify the local government as soon as he gets off the plane. Whether they believe him or not is none of his business.
······
The sea breeze blows, and the salty smell of the seawater seems to be consciously drilling into your nostrils. You can even faintly smell the strange odor emanating from the skeletons.
When everyone arrived at the port, the wooden boardwalk was already crowded with onlookers. Most of them were people who had never seen such a large marine creature before, but the fear that followed the shock was also spreading among the crowd.
Some people even went so far as to claim, in an attempt to attract attention, that hundreds of meters of skeletal remains had been discovered on the coast, or that a high-ranking skeletal had been devoured by an unknown creature, leaving only its skeleton. It is believed that the news about these skeletal remains will soon spread throughout the streets and alleys.
"This...this is really big, but it's still quite a bit smaller than Jiang Han's two undead creatures." Zhao Manyan swallowed hard, his eyes wide open, truly shocked by the skeleton.
"Why would a creature of this level become like this? Its skeleton is perfectly intact, but there isn't a single drop of blood or a trace of flesh on its body, not to mention its internal organs," Nan Yu pondered.
"Old Jiang, do you know what kind of creature this is?" Mo Fan walked over and asked seriously.
"Look at those blackened horns, no, to be precise, tusks. It's probably a walrus-like creature," Jiang Han said.
"Don't we have an encyclopedia in our team? Hey, Jiang Yu, can you figure out what kind of creature this is?" Zhao Manyan nudged Jiang Yu next to him.
"It should be a sea mammoth. This creature's head and upper body are somewhat like an ancient giant elephant, but its lower body is like a whale. It usually lives in the open sea or deep sea and is a relatively gentle sea monster that does not like to disturb human waters."
"Although the sea mammoth is relatively docile, many ferocious sea monsters will avoid it. Moreover, it has a huge appetite and needs to eat about a dozen sea monsters a day to maintain its normal bodily functions."
"The Sea Mammoth also has a title: Magic Ship Killer. Magic ships that can withstand the impact of a Commander-level creature will only end up with the ship destroyed and everyone dead if they encounter the Sea Mammoth," Jiang Yu explained to everyone in detail.
Being able to analyze the types of creatures from a pile of bones, it has to be said that Jiang Yu's demon studies are truly impressive; he deserves to be called the team's "demon encyclopedia."
Jiang Yu examined the degree of weathering of the skeleton again and continued, "This guy has been dead for no more than two days."
"Did you see the ivory Jiang Han mentioned earlier? This is the most valuable part of the mammoth from the Sea Frontier. The price is roughly between nine and ten million. Of course, if it is forged into armor or demon-slaying tools, the price will be even higher."
Upon hearing this, Mo Fan's eyes lit up instantly, and he was about to cross the wooden walkway to saw off the ivory to sell for money, but Jiang Han stopped him, saying, "Don't even think about it. If it were valuable, it would have been taken long ago. Why would it be your turn?"
"Ahem, ahem, ivory isn't worth much these days. I'm talking about ivory before it turns black, but if it turns black like it does now, it'll be worthless," Jiang Yu said with a light cough.
"It's understandable that there are creatures stronger than the Sea Mammoth in the ocean, but if it were to fight a stronger marine creature, the Sea Mammoth's skeleton wouldn't be so well preserved. And even if the Sea Mammoth was overwhelmed and killed in one blow, where did its skin, flesh, internal organs, and blood go?"
"Also, shouldn't the skeleton of a colossal creature like the Sea Mammoth be very heavy? Why is it floating on the sea like a magic ship?" Nan Yu said thoughtfully.
"There are many overlords in the ocean, but those ocean overlords are not invincible. Take the man-eating ants in the South African rainforest, for example. Although they are small, they can easily devour a powerful mage, leaving only his skeleton. In the vast ocean, it is possible that there are similar creatures," Jiang Han said.
"Alright, alright, we still have important things to do. Let's go to the national pavilion first, and then we'll head to the next location after we take care of them!" Ai Jiangtu said.
"You guys go first, I have something to do and will be there later. Also, Mo Fan, please call Lingling over for me, we'll need her help later." After saying that, Jiang Han left the beach.
The latest novel is first published here!
"Why did you have to call Lingling over? What happened? You didn't even tell me," Mo Fan muttered, gazing in the direction Jiang Han had left.
