Wizard Bloodline.

Chapter 259: Comb-bone Demon Snail, Body Forging Breakthrough

"boom--"

The golden python roared, and the thick gray fog exploded. The former suddenly shrank and returned to Ronan, turning back into titanium.

After only a few breaths of contact, the magic domain and energy particles attached to the titanium were completely corroded, and even the titanium, whose grade had exceeded the third level after devouring the "Red Lotus Cane", was consumed.

"If a Dawn Wizard accidentally falls into it, he may not be able to escape alive."

Ronan's pupils shrank slightly, and he turned around and left without hesitation, completely giving up the idea of ​​competing with him.

Blocked by the horrible grey fog, the way he came was obviously blocked. He could only try to find a way out from somewhere else.

Ronan kept moving forward along the intestinal wall-like cave corridor. The road ahead kept getting narrower, and the tentacles that looked like white vines became more and more numerous. Along the way, he even saw the skeletons of some unknown creatures, as well as things that looked like weapons, but they seemed to be extremely old and would break and melt at the slightest touch of mental power.

Ronan continued to go deeper and deeper, and he didn't know how long he had been walking. The light in front of him became dimmer and dimmer, the air became more and more turbid and smelly, and the free energy particles in the air became thinner and thinner.

Ronan didn't stop until the gray fog that was chasing him from behind suddenly disappeared.

"Kakaka-"

A strange sound floated from the front.

It was very dense, like a lot of people were holding bone objects and hitting them at a high frequency.

Ronan's eyes flickered and he slowly moved towards the direction where the sound came from.

At this time, the intestinal wall tunnel where he was located had shrunk to a height of only a few meters. Above his head and around his feet were white tentacles growing from the intestinal wall, entangled together like wildly growing vines, making the originally small passage even more crowded.

Fortunately, he had no intention of attacking Ronan, he just looked a little disgusting and creepy.

After walking a little further, when the intestinal wall was almost completely filled with white tentacles, Ronan carefully passed through a narrow hole, and his vision suddenly became wider.

“Ka-ka-ka-ka-ka-ka”

The frequent knocking sounds suddenly became extremely clear, and the source of the sound seemed to be right in front of him.

Ronan walked in and out. The white light that alternated between light and dark in a regular pattern made the scene in front of him not seem dim. But when he saw the scene inside clearly, he was greatly shocked.

What appeared in front of Ronan was an extremely huge cavity space. On the elastic cavity walls around it were thick white flesh tubes. Each tube was wriggling like breathing, and with every wriggling, some white light would quickly slide through the flesh tube.

At the end of countless white flesh tubes, there is a huge black strange snail.

The shell of the strange snail was crystalline, and thick, long, and sharp bone spurs grew on its body, just like the countless strange snails Ronan had seen in the body of the ghost fish before.

If it was the Devil's Crying Fish King that swallowed Ronan, then the strange snail that was parasitic in the Devil's Crying Fish King's body should also be the top individual among the strange snails.

It is hard to say that Ronan has been walking decisively and calmly until now without any thought of taking a look at the strange snail parasitic in the body of the giant fish.

Now, he has finally got what he wanted.

“Ka-ka-ka-ka-ka”

A strange creaking sound echoed in the empty cavity, so close.

Ronan opened the [Eye of Truth], and it seemed as if a veil was lifted in front of his eyes. He saw that every bone spur on the strange snail in front of him was hung with deformed and strange heads, just like grapes squeezed together in bunches.

The heads on the "bunch of grapes" have their eyes tightly closed, and their faces show expressions of fear, sadness, or anger. Each of them seems to be shivering, and the upper and lower teeth keep making dense and crisp collision sounds.
"Is it the sea creature that once sang the mermaid's song?"

Ronan took a deep breath and tried to walk towards the huge black monster snail.

However, just as he took a step forward, the strange heads above his head suddenly opened their eyes and stared at him, with their teeth chattering more and more frequently.

Ronan frowned, ignored the creepy scene, and continued forward.

With rapid "clicking" sounds, the eyes of all the heads kept moving with Ronan's figure. When he was about to approach the black strange snail, the "clicking" sound suddenly stopped, followed by a series of screams. The bunches of "grape bunches" hanging in the cavity suddenly scattered, and countless ghost heads opened their mouths wide and flew towards him roaring.

"Ding--"

The clear and melodious sound of bells rang out.

Ronan didn't know when a small, crudely shaped cowbell appeared in his hand. He gently shook the square-cornered cowbell in his hand, and strange waves emanated from the cowbell, forming large streams of thick black smoke.

Immediately afterwards, a young man with a pale face, bloodshot eyes, and an aura of overwhelming hatred slowly floated out from the black smoke.

"Go, Ahashiya!"

Ronan spoke calmly, and the young man's cold eyes swept over his head. The next moment, he turned into a ball of black smoke and quickly rushed out, like a giant black python sweeping through the void, instantly engulfing a dozen strange heads that were approaching Ronan. Immediately afterwards, a series of chewing sounds came from the black smoke.

Although the ghost boy Ahashiya has always been regarded by Ronan as the most perfect "arrow embryo" to prepare for practicing the spell [Ghost Arrow], he is also an extremely powerful spirit that is almost able to break through to the fourth level, which is perfect for dealing with the current situation.

The hurricane transformed by Ahashiya formed the most solid defensive barrier, firmly protecting Ronan's safety. Those ghost heads were no match for him at all. Later, he even began to actively hunt and devour them, like a ferocious shark rushing into a school of fish.

Ronan returned his attention to the strange black snail in front of him.

He finally walked up to the strange snail, which was dozens of times larger than him. Its black shell stood in front of him like a high wall.

The surface of the shell was covered with circles of uneven threads, dotted with tiny specks of light. Ronan gently placed his hand on it and felt the cold and smooth touch.

It seemed as if something was sleeping inside the snail, and heavy breathing sounds could be heard every few dozen seconds.

The noise from the fighting between ghosts outside didn't seem to disturb it, it slept so peacefully.

Ronan slowly stroked the patterns on the shell with a focused expression, like a child reaching out to touch an ancient wall containing infinite mysteries.

At some point, he pulled his hand back.

The heart lake was divided into two, with solid ice and magma gushing out from the bottom of the lake, clearly separated, and then intertwined into a chaotic vortex.

In his mind, ten spiritual power crystals trembled together, like ten blazing suns silently emitting infinite light.
Ronan once again entered the state of [Ethereal and Extreme Mind].

This time he was more calm, and the strength of his mental power increased exponentially in this indescribable wonderful state.

Across the dawn, the feeling of dominance returned. Wrapped in layers of halo, Ronan calmly pointed the tip of his right index finger to his forehead.

"Buzz——" Along with this action, a rich brass light emerged from Ronan's forehead, then gently spread out, turning into thick brass ripples, spreading violently in all directions.

Layer upon layer of brass-colored ripples penetrated the black crystal shell in front of Ronan and penetrated in without any hindrance.
Time seemed to stand still at this moment.

The regular breathing sounds coming from the shell, the flowing white light on the surrounding cave walls, and the ghost heads that were being hunted wantonly by Ahashiya. In the huge cavity, everything seemed to stop, and the eyes of countless ghost heads were focused on one point, staring at Ronan blankly.

Then the next second, all the ghost heads showed expressions of extreme fear on their faces.

It's like something terribly bad is about to happen!
"hiss--"

After Ronan used his full strength to launch a mental attack on the sleeping creature in the shell with [Lingmaya Brass Head], he felt that all the air around him seemed to flow to a certain place at the bottom of the shell at once, and then the white flesh tubes on the surrounding cave walls swelled up.
In the atmosphere that was inexplicably oppressive to the extreme, Ronan blinked.

He raised one hand, and a diamond-like luster burst out from between his five fingers, condensing into a heart shape with countless prismatic facets that enveloped him completely.

——【Lingmaya Diamond Heart】!
As soon as all this was done, the extremely depressing atmosphere in the air suddenly broke.

"what!!!!"

Immediately afterwards, an indescribable scream of horror suddenly erupted from the shell.

It is impossible to describe the violence and fierceness of the scream. Even though Ronan thought he was fully prepared, the [Diamond Heart] defense around him was shattered at the first sight.

Ronan only felt a buzzing sound in his head, as if he had been hit hard on the forehead by a hammer. In his consciousness, the ten spiritual power crystals instantly dimmed completely, and blood quickly flowed from his seven orifices.
"Ahhhh!!!"

Amid the roaring sounds like the collapse of the sky and the earth, the huge cavity seemed to have become a piece of rag being blown by the strong wind, and layer after layer of transparent folds visible to the naked eye appeared in the air.

Including Ahashiya, countless ghosts wandering in the cave exploded directly under this terrifying sound wave.

The ground was shaking violently. Ronan endured the nausea and pain, as if he was going to faint in the next second, and tried to throw the square-horned cowbell in his hand to Ahashiya, who had turned into black smoke again and was disappearing.

Then he turned around trembling, opened his eyes wide, and stared at the shell in front of him, looking at it greedily and eagerly.

The mystery of the strange snails parasitic in the body of an ordinary ghost fish is enough to make him fascinated. So, what kind of mystery is contained in this top-level strange snail that has existed for who knows how many years?
Ronan tried to open his eyes wide, and saw countless lights emerging from a huge, pure black shell, wriggling and interweaving together.

The light reflected into his heart, and the spiral pattern that had been drawn before also grew rapidly outward again, becoming more complete and complex.
This pattern is like an unpredictable dark starry sky, or a winding ancient maze.

Ronan had no time to interpret it, so he just relied on instinct to remember it desperately.

The shrieking sounds in my ears became more and more intense, and the white flesh tubes on the surrounding cave walls exploded one after another. The white mucus that exploded did not even have time to spread out, and was shaken into countless scattered foam by the sound waves.

"Kaka——"

Ronan maintained a forward-bending posture, his body lengthening, his short chestnut hair growing rapidly, with clusters of black-blue frost surging out, fluttering straight behind him like dark blue flags.

His face looked ferocious, and the large snake-scale-like patterns on his body had not yet fully emerged before they were covered by countless broken wounds.

"boom!"

In the [Ancient Ice] state, an even more powerful force surged out of his body.

"Click——"

Ronan's figure expanded again, and countless lightning-like white lights burst out from under his skin. His originally dark blue hair gradually faded to white from the roots, and another black rune grew rapidly upwards from between his hands, spreading to all parts of his body.
"Roar--"

Ronan's eyes widened, and a rune in the shape of a "holy tree" flashed rapidly over his heart.

With the full activation of the ancient frost hydra bloodline, complete transformation into a giant monster, and the dual blessing of intermediate [Ancient Power], he was finally able to barely resist the oncoming horrific sonic shockwaves, and little by little he raised his body in the raging sonic waves.

"Huchi - Huchi -"

Ronan gasped heavily and walked towards the shrieking snail step by step under the terrifying pressure, wanting to see it more clearly.

The black glowing shell had now become almost completely transparent, like the texture of crystal. Countless streams of light were rapidly interweaving and blending in this translucent crystal.
Ronan's pupils dilated, and the maze-like pattern in his mind became more and more complete, mysterious and complex.

Instinct drove him to move closer to the strange snail little by little, and he stretched out his hand to approach the huge crystal wall in front of him.

When his fingers finally touched the surface of the crystal shell, some blurry and fragmentary ancient images suddenly flooded into his mind.

In a trance, Ronan seemed to see a strange world without land and completely covered by ocean.

At the center of the world is a huge and unfathomable black vortex, into which the rolling sea water flows, with no one knowing where it flows.

In this vortex, countless strange creatures with black bone-spiked shells and countless ghosts and resentful spirits were desperately trying to climb towards the mouth of the vortex, raising their heads and letting out terrifying screams that shook the world.
"Ctenoids..Devil Snail"

Ronan's eyes were blurry and he muttered something.

At this moment, on his character panel, behind the skill of [Austerity Body Tempering], the last bit of proficiency that was away from the 1500-point threshold of the master level was quietly filled.

A certain layer of shackles within the body seemed to be broken.

"Click——"

Ronan heard a sound like something breaking inside his chest.

next second.

"boom!"

He was more than two meters tall, and the body of the ancient giant demon suddenly exploded. Large streams of thick black rune light burst out from under his skin.
"Boom!"

On the calm sea surface, a thick column of water suddenly exploded and rushed straight into the starry sky like an angry dragon.

Chuck shuddered and suddenly climbed up from the deck of the airship, but before he could figure out what was happening, he saw a huge dark shadow suddenly blocking the moonlight above his head and rushing towards him quickly.

A strong smell of blood wafted towards me with the sea breeze, like wildly growing black branches, and a hoarse and dark voice was heard from the shadow where some forbidden living thing was constantly wriggling.

"Walk."

Chuck's head was swept up by a huge force, and he and the magic airship under him changed direction and flew back the way they came.

He turned his head in a trance, and saw a strange fish corpse as big as an island slowly rising from the water behind him.
