Bloodline Wizard's Dragon Transformation Diary

Chapter 40 Monster Crystals, Giant Beast Mine Island

Their fleet was indeed carrying something extraordinary.

That was a magical beast crystal.

Monster crystals are remnants from monsters, but they are not materials taken from living monsters.

Rather, it is the remnant left behind after the monster dies, a condensation of its spiritual power.

Similar to magic stones.

It is something between a magic stone and a magic stone fragment.

It can't compare to magic stones, but it's better than magic stone fragments.

But for most people, this thing is even more useful than magic stones.

Because this is something that forms naturally after a monster dies, rather than being a man-made creation—therefore, its nature is more active.

The spiritual power contained within it continues to radiate outwards.

Therefore, simply carrying it with you will stimulate your spiritual power, causing it to grow naturally.

If an ordinary person carries this item with them, their chances of becoming a wizard's apprentice will greatly increase.

If a wizard apprentice carries this item with him, his efficiency in cultivating mental power will be higher than that of other wizards—wizards can use magic stone fragments to increase the efficiency of meditation.

However, there is a limit to the amount of time a wizard can meditate each day, and even with the help of magic stone fragments, it is still very limited.

However, the stimulation of wizards by the spiritual energy emanating from these magical beast crystals is a long process.

As long as the energy within this magical beast crystal is not completely depleted, it will continue to be effective.

From this perspective, monster crystals are arguably more effective than magic stones in stimulating mental power.

The greater the power of these magical beast crystals, the more important they are for large forces that need to cultivate 'reserve' forces.

This is something that no wizard would give away once they saw it!

That is why this huge caravan dared not hire any wizards to escort them.

As for why they fought to the death and refused to retreat... for them, losing such a treasure meant certain death even if they went back!

However, there is one thing that Godil still cannot understand.

The magical beast crystals they obtained were not large, only about the size of a finger.

Moreover, they never revealed this information to anyone—how did the Bloodtooth Shark Pirates know that there was a magical beast crystal in their fleet, and why were they so relentlessly pursuing them?

Aren't they afraid that their information is wrong, that after such a fierce battle their strength will be greatly reduced, and that they will be replaced by other pirate groups?

If it weren't for the Bloodtooth Shark Pirates' interference, they would have already returned to shore with that magical beast crystal.

Even if they hadn't returned to shore yet, passing wizards wouldn't be interested in their fleeting caravan.

I can't understand it!

I can't understand it at all.

In reality, the reason why the Bloodtooth Shark Pirates fought to the death was quite simple.

Their scouts sent word that someone had apparently unearthed something in the giant beast mine and brought it onto the ship—meaning they had to bring that unearthed item back.

Even if it's just a suspicion.

As for the ships and personnel lost during this process...

Once they bring the items back, Wizard Recent, the ruler of the Storm Sea, will naturally replenish them.

Conversely, if Wizard Lescent were to learn that a fleet carrying goods had passed through the waterways they controlled without them stopping the goods, then no matter how many people and ships they had preserved, it would be meaningless to Wizard Lescent—they would all die.

During the pursuit and entanglement, the fleet's unwavering attitude confirmed the authenticity of the news to the Bloodtooth Shark Pirates.

Then, the two sides remained entangled in this waterway until Luo Ang and his group passed by.

……

"Just this one?" Holding the finger-sized magical beast crystal, the Crimson Wizard glanced at Godil with suspicion.

"Just one magical beast crystal, and you need such a large fleet to escort it?" She randomly picked a cargo ship, boarded it, and pushed aside the cargo.

They were all bone meal knocked off weathered bones.

This bone meal is the largest output of that giant beast mine.

The Giant Beast Mine is a large island in the Stormy Seas, also known as the Giant Beast Graveyard.

Countless years ago, when wizards hunted sea monsters, they took the valuable parts from the monsters and threw the rest of their carcasses into the sea.

As time went by, the piled-up corpses gradually formed an island.

On the island, all the corpses had weathered away, and even some powerful magical beasts had turned into rocks and soil before their flesh had even rotted.

Later, it was discovered that the bone meal knocked from the weathered bones on that island, after being processed, was very suitable for use as fertilizer or animal feed.

As a result, more and more people went to the Behemoth Graveyard to mine, and transported the bone meal back to the area to make animal feed or fertilizer.

—This is the kind of food that the Scarlet Wizard uses to feed the countless sharks he keeps.

In addition to this, bone meal has another function.

That is, these bone powders can cover up the traces of monster crystals.

By burying the monster crystals in these bone powders, even wizards would find it difficult to detect their presence.

Otherwise, the magical beast crystals in the giant beast mine would have been completely looted by the previous wizards long ago, so how could they have been left for later generations?

The Crimson Wizard looked at the ship after ship of giant beast ashes and was extremely suspicious that the fleet might be hiding other magical beast crystals.

"Your Excellency Wizard, the magical beast crystals in the Beast Mine are extremely rare. Finding even one is difficult enough, let alone several." Godil's face was filled with sorrow.

This was a situation he had anticipated long ago, and it was also the reason why they were determined to fight the Bloodtooth Shark Pirates to the death and refused to back down.

Are you afraid of punishment when you go back?

If you're not going back, you can just escape to somewhere else!

What they were truly afraid of was that after handing over the magical beast crystal, the Bloodtooth Shark pirates simply wouldn't believe there was only one magical beast crystal.

In the search for other magical beast crystals, their cargo will be stolen, and everyone on board will be captured.

"Ha." The Crimson Wizard didn't believe Godil's words at all.

"Weren't you sinking your ships when we arrived?" The Crimson Wizard sneered, and immediately began forcing all the merchant ships to dump the bone meal into the ocean.

In the vast ocean, countless sharks swam up and swallowed the bone meal that had been dumped.

—If there are still magical beast crystals hidden in the bone meal, then after the bone meal is digested by the sharks, the traces of the magical beast crystals hidden in it will naturally become apparent.
