Chapter 497: Everyone's Shock

Going off-topic during a chat is something that happens from time to time.

It's just that this time the matter was simply too big, and [Magician] David obviously didn't want to waste time on some irrelevant points.

However...

Priestess: "Hey, hey, Magician, I'm still under attack right now. Can't we hold off a bit and chat in detail after I've killed these bugs and puppies?"

Magician: "I don't think this kind of attack will have any effect on you."

Seeing that the Priestess was fighting while still chatting with him, David knew that this fellow was extremely composed right now.

Tower: "I'm also very curious why someone would attack the Priestess, as well as the Pope and Star's Merfolk."

Hmm...

Seeing that Lan Qingyou, who hadn't appeared for a long time, had appeared, and was even asking questions, the Magician suppressed his inquisitive mood and waited for them to chat first.

Even if the sky was falling, whatever they hadn't finished talking about had to be discussed first before anything else.

Moreover, this fellow Lan Qingyou had given some pretty good opinions and directions for analysis several times.

So he also wanted to hear if Lan Qingyou had any thoughts on these matters.

Although his Demonfolk had not yet been attacked.

But developing according to this state, the people who acted for the sake of attribute points would definitely not be a minority.

One must know that there was a huge difference between this 'Race War' and the previous 'Forsaken War'.

The Forsaken War was orchestrated privately by some people, and there was no guarantee of winning, losing, or profiting.

In fact, that was indeed the case.

Especially those guys who came later wanting a share of the pie, apart from being cannon fodder, they basically didn't get any benefits at all.

This was also the main reason for the final total collapse.

But this time was different.

With the 'official endorsement' of the world's will, he believed there would be many people willing to fight for this matter.

After all, humans die for wealth and birds die for food; without profit, there is no motivation.

Not to mention it was fighting for oneself.

As to whether it was really like this, one only needed to find a chance to kill a member of another race to know if it was true or false.

If they couldn't be bothered to move, they could even just observe the news on the world channel.

It could be said that there were simply no obstacles at all.

Whether psychologically or physically.

Pope: "I really don't know about this. That day it was calm and the fleet felt bored, so we docked at the Merfolk Bay."

Pope: "As a result, that group of Fish-folk and Sirens suddenly rushed up and launched an attack on the docks and the Merfolk underwater."

There was a major difference between the Merfolk Race and the Witch Clan: both of the former lived by the water and underwater.

So they couldn't recruit a large number of Transmigrators to live in the city like the Witch Clan did before.

In other words, the people living in the Merfolk's seaport or working on the fleet were basically composed of Merfolk. There were very few Transmigrators who weren't Evolvers.

So when they were attacked, it wouldn't be a mixed bag of all sorts of people like with the Witch Clan.

It was just these two Degenerate Species, the Fish-folk and Sirens.

But although they were Degenerate Species, they were still much stronger than unevolved Transmigrators.

So they suffered a big loss during the initial attack.

Neither [Star] Ruan Qingyi nor [Pope] Nemo expected this situation to occur.

Fortunately, they stabilized their footing afterwards, otherwise who knows how many clan members they would have lost.

But even so, in the roughly three days of being attacked, quite a few clan members still died.

After all, although they were Degenerate Species, there wasn't much difference in attribute values compared to Evolved Species.

So even fighting to a one-to-one kill ratio was a huge loss in the eyes of the two.

Tower: "That's not it. I want to ask if there's any special situation regarding the corpses of your clan members who were attacked by those guys, such as missing arms or legs."

Star: "What do you mean?"

Priestess: "?"

Seeing Lan Qingyou's words, everyone felt very strange.

After all, this was war, a battle where one could die at any moment. It wasn't some childish brawl at the village entrance.

Since that was the case, there would definitely be casualties, right.

Everyone thought this way, naturally assumed so, but...

Tower: "Everyone knows about the group called Demon Hunters, right. The main reason they are able to ambush or kill Evolvers is that they have enhancements in their attributes."

Empress: "..."

Justice: "That can't be, right? They are genuinely unevolved Transmigrators."

Emperor: "Is there such a thing?"

Lovers: "Their numerical values cannot possibly be the same as Evolvers or Degenerate Species."

Almost immediately, everyone jumped out to deny Lan Qingyou's words.

Although they also knew that Lan Qingyou wasn't the type to speak without cause, this was far too much of a break from common sense.

Since arriving on the Karim Continent, everyone had been continuously breaking the common sense of Blue Star.

But the Karim Continent also had its own common sense.

The fact that Transmigrators could not possess the attribute values of Evolvers was the most widely known common sense.

Tower: "Indeed. Under normal circumstances, this is indeed common sense, but what if it's under abnormal circumstances?"

Judgment: "Abnormal circumstances?"

Tower: "For example, these Demon Hunters each have at least one Witch's Demon Eye installed in their eyes."

!!!

Everyone fell silent at this moment.

Demon Eye!?

Wasn't that the talent skill of the Witch Clan? How did Demon Hunters, uh...

Thinking of this, everyone suddenly remembered the sentence Lan Qingyou said before answering.

Corpses missing arms and legs... the previous Forsaken War... tens of thousands of Witches dead...

If the Demon Hunters really had Witches' Demon Eyes in their eyes, then the Witches who died in the war must have also been missing Demon Eyes and the like, just as she said.

Otherwise she couldn't say such things.

No... she probably even investigated it clearly before speaking.

If this was really the case, then the missing parts of their clan members' bodies...

Pope: "Now that you mention it, there seem to really be quite a few cases like this."

Originally everyone didn't care about these things. After all, it was war, it would indeed cause certain damages.

But if it was to a certain extent, then there was indeed a problem.

Before, no one reminded them so they didn't take it seriously. Now after being reminded, Ruan Qingyi, Nemo, and even Vivian who was still fighting immediately noticed this point.

Star: "So speaking of which, the similarity of the things everyone lost is indeed very high. They are all webbed palms, soles, or gills."

Priestess: "What we Vampires mainly lose are wings and teeth."

Judgment: "Wait, if Demon Eyes can have the effect of increasing attribute points after being installed by them, couldn't the Merfolk's bodies and the Vampires' bodies also have the same effect?"

Tower: "What are you talking about? Not only will attribute points increase, but the talent skills inherent to the Demon Eye can also be used."
