Chapter 731: Unnatural Mutant

With the addition of these people, the task of cleaning the sea surface became much easier.

In fact, cleaning up the blood on the sea surface was not a difficult task for those who knew water-type magic.

Not to mention that among this group of people, there was a guy who could manipulate blood.

Although the Leviathan's blood was black.

But blood was blood.

Therefore, the one doing the most work and putting in the most effort here was Vivian.

However, this great contributor didn't complain at all.

After all, the collected blood would be distributed later.

The distribution mechanism of Tarot Manor was that those who worked more gained more.

So...

Compared to others, Lan Qingyou was relatively much more relaxed.

She didn't even have to lift a finger!

She just sat on the ship's rail like that, watching everyone busy themselves.

It all came back to the same saying.

Distribution according to work.

As the person who dragged everyone out of the illusion, Lan Qingyou already enjoyed the highest distribution rights.

Since that was the case, what was there to be busy about? Wasn't it good to just sit and enjoy?

Thus, while everyone was busy, she took out today's harvest—two portions of the Leviathan's part materials.

Because compared to other materials, these two portions were fragments from a core area like the heart.

Therefore, they were placed inside glass jars by Lan Qingyou.

It was just that although they were both core fragments, the difference between the two was vast.

One looked fresh, while the other looked decayed.

The difference was just that big.

But this was also natural.

After all, one belonged to the Leviathan, and the other belonged to the mutated Leviathan.

The reason for such a huge difference was naturally also due to the mutation.

Therefore, if they were to be used as alchemy materials, their uses would definitely be very different as well.

It could even be said they were poles apart.

It felt equivalent to one being black and the other white.

"The unmutated one can be used to make attribute potions. Based on the proportion of the main body's attributes, it should be able to make one that adds at least 80 to 100 points."

"As for the mutated one, although its appearance isn't very good, it seems it would be better used to make a Talent Magic Potion."

After careful observation, analysis, and research.

Lan Qingyou had already determined the nature of these two materials.

Actually, only someone who could instantly find a suitable use for a material upon seeing it could be considered an excellent alchemist.

Just like how a blacksmith, upon seeing an iron block, could associate what weapon this piece of iron could be used to forge.

"Huh! That's not right!"

"This kind of mutational nature seems familiar..."

Lan Qingyou, who still had an alchemist's face a moment ago as she figured out the use of the decayed fragment by looking at it, found something amiss.

Mutational nature.

This referred to the special magic power a magic beast produced during mutation, which differed from its species or even a thousand individuals.

It was precisely because of this magic power that mutated magic beasts looked so unique.

At the same time, it also changed their bodies, making them extraordinary.

Her Little Spoon was like this.

Pandora's Salamander was also like this.

Now that she had calmed down and compared the two groups, Lan Qingyou discovered the unusual aspect of this mutant's nature.

At the same time, she also seemed to understand what the 'unknown reason' written in the description earlier was.

Just as previously mentioned.

Mutations also produced changes to the body.

Previously, because the guys in the group chat were constantly attacking, she hadn't been able to notice.

But now, Lan Qingyou was very certain that the Leviathan's mutation was an internal mutation.

In other words, there was absolutely no change in its external appearance.

To put it another way, it was an 'abnormal mutation'.

Although mutations were inherently abnormal to begin with.

But a mutation like the Leviathan's was clearly not as 'natural' as Little Spoon's or Salamander's.

In other words...

"It's finally over."

"Phew... that school of mutated Kang Kang fish just now almost scared me to death."

"I never thought that thing could look so ugly after mutating."

"Rather, there wasn't a single guy who came into contact with the Leviathan's blood that didn't..."

"Riesling! Serve the wine! Bring the good wine!"

"I'm exhausted. It would be great if someone could give me a massage."

"If all else fails, just open the teleportation array and find two clan members to come over and give a massage."

"Oh, good idea. I have a few barons with pretty good skills at my place."

"Hmm... Tower, what are you doing?"

Just as Lan Qingyou was deep in thought, the guys who went to work on the sea surface finally finished cleaning up this patch of black sea.

So after boarding the ship, each of them complained to Lan Qingyou, the only guy who hadn't moved a muscle, while either lying or sitting on the deck as if they had done some heavy labor.

However, Lan Qingyou didn't even turn her head.

She just curled her lips and retorted.

"Stop pretending, this kind of prearranged gang-up is really too unsightly."

"..."

"Boring."

Vivian directly did a carp kip-up and sat up from her originally lying position.

Then she looked at the two jars of material fragments in the other party's hands.

"Then what is the great Witch Queen doing while we're working ourselves to death? Analyzing materials?"

"No, the analysis was already done long ago. Right now, I am thinking about why that Leviathan suddenly mutated."

"Mutated!!?"

Upon hearing this word, everyone was somewhat surprised.

After all, they didn't feel like this thing had mutated when they were fighting.

It looked exactly as it should have.

In the end, this Tower Witch actually said the Leviathan mutated?

But then again.

If it wasn't a mutation, it probably wouldn't be possible to pit them so miserably, right?

It was basically at the level where everyone got a dark history.

Mm-hmm!

In that case, it made sense.

Although everyone felt that their dark history was indeed a bit dark, they were using the Leviathan's mutation to forcefully salvage their pride.

To make this dark history seem not so dark.

"Then... have you figured out why?"

Freya, who was combing her hair, looked at Lan Qingyou and asked.

After all, when it came to mutated magic beasts, everyone present combined definitely hadn't seen as many as Freya, the one engaged in animal husbandry.

It could be said that no one understood mutated magic beasts better than her.

"I've thought of something, but there aren't enough materials right now, so I still need to keep thinking."

"Is that so?"

Walking up to Lan Qingyou, Freya reached out and took the glass jar from the other party's hand to examine it closely.

Although as a succubus, she didn't have something innate like the Demon Eye.

But as a ranch owner, she was still very sensitive when it came to identifying meat.

"Although it's already dead, I have to say that every cell of a mutated magic beast of this volume is truly filled with immense magic power."

"If I didn't know this thing had a mental attack effect, I reckon I would directly fall into an illusion the first time I laid eyes on it."

"Although the magic power in both fragments isn't flowing, one is relatively active, while the other is relatively quiet."

"Just from this point alone, one can tell that the relatively active piece belongs to the mutant."

"But it's very strange. Although this mutant's magic power is as active as that of other mutants."

"The way it's active seems somewhat abnormal."

Freya began to rattle off her analysis.

"Of course it's abnormal."

Lan Qingyou turned her head and glanced at Freya in front of her, then raised her head and looked around at the crowd.

"Because the root cause of the mutation isn't natural evolution, but rather man-made."

Saying that, Lan Qingyou fixed her gaze onto The High Priestess, Vivian...
