Mystery: I Married the Queen of Mystery.

Chapter 137 A Curse from Thousands of Years Ago

In Odis's view, the most critical hurdle in his research on increasing agricultural and animal husbandry production is how to make animals and plants mutate within a controllable range.

The high-level extraordinary people of the Church of Mother Earth may be able to increase grain production and even make a single wheat plant grow into several ears of wheat.

But such ability definitely comes at a price, or has side effects. After all, the Sequence 2 of this path is called "Mistress of the Desolation".

Just by looking at the name, you can tell that it has nothing to do with "increasing production" and it seems to even have a counterproductive effect.

In Odysseus's opinion, this has a lot to do with the impact of the Extraordinary on the internal structure of living things. In the First and Second Ages, the impact of directly devouring the Extraordinary characteristics on living things was very similar to a rapid and direct radioactive pollution.

Whoever can withstand the damage caused by pollution can use those extraordinary powers to a certain extent, and even become a being like the eight ancient gods in the Second Age.

Whoever can't bear it, just lie down and get gold coins and equipment.

The potion system has found a way to neutralize this radioactive pollution. Most potions are using poison to fight poison, extraordinary properties can make people lose control, and auxiliary materials can make people half-crippled.

The result was a positive result, and the promotion was successfully completed.

As for the rituals required after Sequence 5, their main function is to stabilize the spirit.

Because after Sequence 5, and the sequences after that, the potion begins to corrode the spirit body, which is another level of mutation and radiation.

The impact of the Extraordinary on the Extraordinary person is mutation, and the external impact is similar, except that the Extraordinary ability allows the radiation to extend to the surrounding areas.

Therefore, Odysseus's purpose in studying the creatures in the "God-forsaken Land" is to find references to the impact of extraordinary things on creatures.

Because of the extraordinary chaos and uncertainty surrounding its impact on living things, it is impossible to come up with a standard unit of measurement like degrees Celsius, meters, or kilograms.

However, extraordinary influences definitely have their limits. For example, the influence of Sequence 7 cannot exceed this level, just as Odysseus cannot make scrolls now and can only be mastered at the level of Sequence 6 "Scroll Professor".

In other words, although such impact is uncontrollable, there is always a certain threshold.

The first step is to find this threshold, and the second step is to study and use this threshold.

Soon, Odysseus dissected the strange fish. To his surprise, the structure inside the fish was extremely simple. Most of the structure was a hollow cavity, and there were some food residues inside that Odysseus could not identify.

After a careful search, Odysseus finally found the internal organs of the strange fish, but they were too small. He couldn't even find obvious organs such as the heart and intestines. There were only a few simple lumps of things, and he couldn't tell what organs they were.

This puzzled Odysseus. Had the extraordinary influence caused such a fish to undergo such a fundamental change? Even its internal organs had severely atrophied, and it no longer possessed the characteristics of a fish?

Odysseus also did some research on the "Great Cataclysm" at the end of the Third Age.

He believes that after the fall of the "ancient sun god", it had a profound impact on the ecological environment and natural environment of the entire earth.

Among them, the "Land Forsaken by God" has the greatest impact. The sun cannot shine there, the sky is covered with dark clouds, and lightning is everywhere.

This is because the "Ancient Sun God" contains so many uniquenesses and, to a certain extent, represents the underlying order of this world.

His fall is equivalent to a reshuffle of the underlying order.

However, the "Ancient Sun God" did not possess the extraordinary characteristics of "Tiller" or "Pharmacist", so its direct impact on living things at that time was mostly direct death.

The creatures that survived the "God-forsaken Land" underwent varying degrees of mutations over the long years that followed.

The fish in front of Odysseus must have slowly undergone a mutation.

But the degree of mutation was completely beyond imagination.

Odysseus remembered that in the "God-forsaken Land", many people turned into monsters.

If those monsters were dissected, Odysseus believed that organs such as the heart and lungs would be found. Even if they became strange in shape and their functions were very different, the general structure should be there.

However, the internal structure of this fish completely exceeded all of Odysseus's previous expectations.

Then Odysseus noticed that the fish had no eyes!

The only fish-like part of its head is its mouth full of fangs.

Suddenly, Odysseus had a bold guess, and he immediately went to the "Central Simulator" to check the information.

He soon discovered that the internal organs of the "strange fish" were very similar to the internal structure of some flatworms.

So-called flatworms, such as the well-known planarians and pork tapeworms.

Odysseus compared carefully and finally determined that the "strange fish" in front of him should be a mutated schistosome!

He looked at the strange fish that was more than one meter long, and then looked at the description of the length of schistosomes in the information: only one to three centimeters.

Odysseus thought to himself: This change is too big!

But the facts are before us, the mutation is so big!
Odysseus fixed the dissected "fish skin" again and would do a detailed study when he had time.

Then he turned his attention to the real blood-sucking worms that could drink sugar water.

Now if someone said these guys were transformed from Paramecium, Odysseus would believe it.

He took out a "blood-sucking worm" from the glass jar and continued to dissect it.

With his previous experience, Odysseus quickly found the creatures they corresponded to: mosquito larvae. They had also grown much larger and could move on land, but they seemed to have lost the opportunity to become adults.

Odysseus continued his efforts and compared it with the plant that had grown tentacles.

It turned out to be a mutated castor plant, no wonder it contained toxins.

The tentacles of this "mutated castor oil plant" are very special, and the suction cup part is very similar to the suction cup of some animals. Odysseus conjured up a microscope and made a section of it for observation.

Soon he discovered a very strange sight. The cell tissue of these suckers was actually a mixture of animal cells and plant cells!
This discovery must have been big news before Odysseus traveled through time.

After all, I learned the difference between animal cells and plant cells when I was a teenager. How could they be mixed together like this to serve a castor bean plant!
Odysseus sighed: In this extraordinary world, there are really all kinds of wonders!
Finally, Odysseus made slices of the leaves of the black-faced grass to look at its cell structure.

Under the microscope, these plant cells are not just withered. Only a layer of cell wall remains. The hard shell-like cell wall is empty and there is nothing inside.

Odysseus was about to raise his head, but out of the corner of his eye he seemed to see that one of the cells did not seem to be empty.

So he hurried to look for it, and soon found the cell. He saw a head inside the cell wall!
The head has soft facial features, a single, closed, upright eye, and dark brown hair.

Odysseus quickly concluded that it was the head of a giantess...

The giant's head...in the cell wall?

This sounds like an exaggerated joke.

At this moment, the head seemed to feel Odysseus's gaze, and suddenly opened its closed eye and looked at Odysseus.

Then she opened her mouth, and Odysseus's spirit immediately sensed the danger. He jumped back suddenly, at least two or three meters.

But the moment his feet touched the ground, he heard a very vicious roar in his ears.

Hearing this voice, Odysseus suddenly felt dizzy and upset.

Fortunately, with the protection of the "Wilderness of Knowledge", Odysseus's discomfort quickly disappeared.

He looked towards the microscope and sighed again, "In this extraordinary world, there really is nothing lacking in wonder!"

Odysseus estimated that the giantess's head should be a symbol of the "Giant Queen" Ounibella.

He once speculated that the "Giant Queen" must have died miserably and uttered the most vicious curse before her death.

His remains became the Level 0 Sealed Artifact "Gift of the Earth", which gave rise to the growth of Black-Faced Grass in Silver City.

With the black-faced grass as food, Silver City has been able to survive to this day, and most of its residents have not undergone major mutations.

At the same time, this also made every resident of Silver City bear the curse that they must kill their parents to avoid becoming evil spirits.

Odysseus quickly destroyed the slice. He realized that he was too weak at the moment and it was not the time to study the black-faced grass.

What needed to be dissected was dissected, and what needed to be observed in detail was observed under a microscope.

Odysseus began to write a research report. He noticed that the "mutated schistosomes" and "mutated castor beans" had greater mutations than the "mutated mosquito larvae".

In particular, the "mutated schistosome" has even crossed the classification of animals in terms of its thickness and basically no longer has the characteristics of flatworms.

But it was definitely not a fish. The cavity in its body left a deep impression on Odysseus.

Although there was a lack of more observation objects, Odysseus guessed that there must be something special in the swamp where the "mutated schistosome" and "mutated castor oil plant" were located.

Odysseus considered trading some information about the soil around the swamp with "Little Sun" for further comparison.

Then Odysseus began to observe the bucket of soil and the bucket of silt under a microscope. The number of microorganisms in the bucket of soil was astonishingly large, and they looked ugly and seemed very aggressive.

Odysseus used the power of "Wild Knowledge" to copy the soil and transformed it into a seedling cup. He first covered it with a layer of soil, then sprinkled a few grains of wheat, and then covered it with soil again.

After watering, the time schedule of these seedling cups was accelerated using the "central simulator".

Soon, some of the wheat in the seedling cups began to germinate and quickly grew stalks and ears that were healthier and thicker than normal wheat.

However, most of the wheat in the seedling cups did not germinate.

Odysseus dug down and took a look. The wheat seeds were nowhere to be found. They were probably eaten by some microorganisms.

He concluded that if the microorganisms could not be used as nutrients, they would be eaten.

Finally, it was the bucket of silt. Odysseus observed it with a microscope first. After finding that its composition was similar to that of soil, he began to conduct the subsequent experiments on the two together.

Those experiments included heating, freezing, brewing with alkaline water, brewing with acid water, etc., mainly to observe whether there is any difference between these soils and normal soils.

While waiting for the experimental results, Odysseus continued to write the research report.

Ten minutes later, Odysseus suddenly discovered a faint flash in the container of heated silt.

He stirred it with a glass rod and found that a layer of very fine crystals appeared at the bottom of the container!
