After dealing with Jay, there is still something else to do.
"What a huge snake." Morin sighed in his heart as he looked at the motionless body of the black giant snake.
"But where did this giant snake come from? And this giant snake... is so strange."
Morin frowned, feeling confused.
He was not only curious about the sudden appearance of the giant black snake, but also about the black snake itself, which had too many strange things about it.
As he got closer to the giant black snake, Morin could feel a slight burning sensation with a strong smell of sulfur and fire, just like standing next to a volcano with countless magma surging constantly.
"Chip, use the blood of this black giant snake to compare with the database!" Morin lightly dipped his finger in the blood of the black giant snake and gave this command to the chip in his mind.
"Ding! Data comparison in progress!"
"Data comparison completed!"
"Giant black snake, species: unknown, genetic similarity with the black rope snake is 78%, genetic similarity with the Elas snake is 36%, and genetic similarity with the Semper snake is 9%..."
"Black rope snake." Morin muttered to himself, and the doubts in his heart became even greater.
The black rope snake is a very common snake, very short, less than one meter long, very weak, and at the bottom of the food chain. But the black giant snake in front of him looked like a descendant of the black rope snake? How could it be possible? The black giant snake just now was so terrifying, so much stronger than other powerful creatures, it was simply equivalent to a subspecies of high-energy creatures.
Just as Morin was lost in thought, suddenly, a tiny voice came over.
"Aaron?" Morin looked over and found that it was Aaron who was struggling and crawling out from the ground.
"How are you, Aaron, are you okay?"
Maureen quickly ran over and pulled Aaron out.
"It's okay, Maureen, I... I'm fine." Aaron looked a little dazed, then he looked at Maureen and revealed an indescribable smile.
"I'm glad you're okay." Morin breathed a sigh of relief and handed Aaron a few recovery potions. He said, "Here, these are recovery potions. Drink them. They're good for you."
Aaron took the recovery potion, looked at it in his hand, then looked at Morin and suddenly said seriously: "Thank you, Morin, thank you so much."
Maureen smiled, said nothing, and just patted Aaron's shoulder hard.
Aaron also showed up, and then all the living people slowly gathered together.
Jay was very weak, and Wolf was seriously injured because he had no recovery potion. He looked like he might faint at any time. As for Maureen and the others, they were all doing well.
They packed up the most valuable things from the black giant snake's body and left in a hurry.
"I didn't expect that Sim would die." When walking out of the black cave, Anthony looked back and couldn't help but sigh softly.
Soon, Anthony calmed down and set off with Maureen and the others.
When they went back, they walked very quickly. After all, after experiencing such a thing during this mission, no one wanted to stay outside.
Soon, they returned to the dark forest.
"I'll go and hand in the task first, and then we'll distribute the spoils." Anthony said, and then he walked towards the place where the task was issued.
Naturally, Morin and the others had no other opinions. They stood there, waiting quietly.
Not long after, Anthony came over again.
He raised a black bag in his hand and said, "Here is the reward in magic stones. Originally, it was seven magic stones per person, but I explained the situation of the giant black snake to them and they confirmed it, so our reward has changed to twelve magic stones."
"this is a good news."
Anthony had a faint smile on his face.
They quickly divided the magic stones, twelve pieces per person. When they touched the slightly cool magic stones, Morin and the others couldn't help but feel relieved. After all, in a sense, they went on the mission just for the magic stones.
"Okay, we've been paid. So, regarding the materials from the black giant snake, how do you plan to divide them?" Anthony looked at Maureen and the others.
"I want the magic stone." Aaron spoke first this time.
Anthony nodded and said, "Okay. After all, not everyone wants magic stones, right, Morin?" Anthony looked at Morin and smiled softly.
"Of course, you all know that I'm a pharmacist, so I need materials." Morin shrugged and admitted it frankly.
Then, Morin and his team distributed the materials of the black giant snake in a secret room. Morin asked for a large piece of snake skin, the huge fangs and two eyes of the black giant snake, as well as some blood and muscle tissue.
"Okay, I'm leaving now."
Maureen waved and said goodbye to Anthony and the others. Of course, this did not include Jay and Wolf. They had been avoiding Maureen on the road, and at this moment, they did not even dare to say anything.
Maureen walked in the passages and corridors for a while before returning to the dormitory.
The sound of the key hitting the lock cylinder sounded dull and heavy, but to Maureen, it sounded very familiar and reassuring.
"I'm back."
Maureen looked at the familiar dormitory and smiled gently.
He put away the materials from the black giant snake, then went to the bathroom to wash up quickly, then lay down on the bed and fell asleep.
Morin slept very deeply. When he woke up, he felt refreshed and full of energy.
"Ah...it's really good."
Maureen got out of bed and stretched.
Then, he thought about the mission he was going out on this time.
"The reason why I went on this mission with Anthony and the others was because I wanted to gain some experience and see what it's like to fight with witchcraft. After all, although I can already use witchcraft, I haven't really put it into practice in combat, which is always a bad thing."
Morin thought about his previous thoughts, and then frowned.
After all, he had stayed in the Dark Forest for a long time, and had learned a lot, whether it was alchemy knowledge or other things. It was time to go out and take a look.
When going out on a mission this time, Morin originally thought that everything would be simple, but he didn't expect that there would be so many unexpected changes, not only about the giant black snake, but also about Jay.
"Chip, play the battle scene with the black giant snake." Morin recovered quickly and thought of an important thing.
During the battle, he had let the chip record everything. Now that he had some free time, he naturally wanted to watch the battle with the black giant snake. You know, this could be said to be the most dangerous battle Morin had ever encountered so far.
"Ding! Recording playback!"
The sound of the chip came over, and then, a faint blue light flashed before Morin's eyes, and scenes kept flashing before his eyes.
"Now that I think about it, the black giant snake is also very difficult to deal with." Morin couldn't help but sigh.
Then, as if he had thought of something, he said, "Chip, analyze Anthony's jewelry box."
"Ding! The mission has been established!"
"Based on the collected information and subject's memory, task analysis in progress!"
"Ding! Conclusion reached!"
"Sophia's jewelry box. Type: Incomplete primary magic item. Combination of negative energy and ice energy. Engraved with magic arrays such as swift burst, negative energy erosion, and ice energy particle frost. Subject: Energetics, Mutation."
The chip quickly gave a conclusion.
"An incomplete primary magic item." Morin showed a look of realization. Perhaps that was Anthony's trump card. After using it this time, Sophia's jewelry box would not last long.
"My blood seal of thorns was fortunately not exposed."
Maureen seemed to have thought of something and couldn't help but smile.
In fact, at the critical moment of the battle with the black giant snake, Morin also thought that if they could not get rid of the black giant snake in the end, then he would have no choice but to use the Blood Seal of Thorns.
But this was a last resort. After all, he had a lot of things to deal with after using the Blood Seal of Thorns.
"Ding! Something unusual was discovered in Sophia's jewelry box!"
"Abnormal phenomenon?" Mo Lin was startled, then reacted and said, "Chip, replay!"
As the chip replayed the video, Morin couldn't help but frown.
"Negative energy particles and ice energy particles complement each other and have very high damage, forming a powerful black gas..." Morin murmured to himself, feeling very familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere.
Suddenly, a flash of inspiration came to Morin's mind.
"That book about combined witchcraft..." Morin said softly, and suddenly understood it.
The hall where pharmacist apprentices gather.
"Ah, Maureen, my pharmacist, welcome back." George laughed and looked at Maureen with great enthusiasm. He said, "How was it, Maureen, how did you gain from this mission?"
"Not bad." Morin shrugged.
"Okay, George, let's stop talking nonsense. You know what I'm here for." Morin changed the subject and said, "Get ready for the magic stones. After all, I gained a lot this time."
"Oh, my magic stone." George exclaimed exaggeratedly.
Maureen took out tubes of finished potions and some unused black giant snake materials and placed them in front of George.
"Take a look." Morin raised his head slightly.
"Well, Morin, you have a lot of stuff this time." George was shocked. He counted them one by one and said, "Seven recovery potions, eight physical potions, eight blood burst potions, and these materials. Oh my God, Morin, you are really..."
George was startled.
"Tell me the price." Maureen looked at George with a playful look in his eyes.
"Well, there are so many things, a total of sixty-seven magic stones. Oh my God, this is really a big deal. Morin, take out all your stock." George counted, with admiration and surprise flashing in his eyes.
Maureen said nothing, but just held out her hand.
"I'm sorry, Maureen. I didn't expect you to have so many things. I didn't bring enough magic stones. I only have thirty-two magic stones." George gave a wry smile.
"Thirty-two magic stones?" Morin seemed very surprised, but he did all this on purpose. He deliberately took out so many things at once, otherwise, how could he get what he wanted.
"There are still thirty-five magic stones missing." Morin touched his chin, as if he was thinking.
Suddenly, as if he had thought of something, his eyes lit up and he said, "How about this, George, you give me your book on combined witchcraft and it will be worth thirty-five magic stones. How about that?"
"Books about combined witchcraft?" George looked confused.
Then George seemed to have thought of something and said as if he had suddenly realized something: "It's that thing. No, that thing requires at least a paid subject knowledge in exchange."
"George, since I entered the Dark Forest two years ago, you have been saying that you need to learn a paid advanced subject. Now even you have almost forgotten about it." Morin said with a speechless expression, "I guess you have never sold it and you have given up. Do you think that thing can be learned by learning a paid advanced subject?"
George was choked and couldn't speak for a long time.
"I think it's worth that price. After all, I don't understand what's on it..." George wanted to argue.
Maureen said nothing, just looked at George.
"Okay, okay, I admit that it is a bit unkind to use the knowledge of a high-level paid subject, but only thirty-five magic stones, isn't the price too low?" George said quickly.
Morin was also very straightforward. He took out five magic stones and stuffed them into George's hands.
"I'll give you five more magic stones, making it a total of forty magic stones, just to satisfy my curiosity!" Morin's voice sounded very generous.
George looked at the magic stones in his hand, and thought about the thirty or so magic stones he would have to give to Morin later, and suddenly he felt very tired.
Don't bother with that...
George finally gave the book on combined witchcraft to Morin. While collecting the finished potions and materials, he shouted to Morin, "Molin, come find me if you need anything in the future."
"Of course, George."
Maureen smiled.
He clenched the book on combined witchcraft in his hand and walked towards the dormitory.
