Chapter 192: Chapter 192

Locke thought for a moment, then drained an entire bottle of Beholder Potion in one gulp.

In just an instant, his mental sensitivity was elevated to an extremely high level, even with a vague feeling of exceeding some kind of boundary.

Locke stepped back half a step. Everything around him seemed to have grown eyes of different colors, shapes, and sizes. Some eyes were even trying to converse with him, apparently attempting to convey some kind of information.

When Locke looked at the negative energy particle periodic table in the Tome of the Tombstone, those four-dimensional models of negative energy particles on the periodic table all seemed to transform into different eyes.

Locke shook his head, trying to begin identifying the information on the negative energy particle field of the fossil bone specimen. "I guessed right, Beholder Potion can indeed enhance my recognition of the Mordo language."

"This way, learning becomes much simpler."

"It's just that I have to constantly resist the side effects that drive me into mental confusion."

After carefully identifying for more than twenty minutes, Locke said with some delight, "The degree to which Beholder Potion enhances my mental sensitivity has indeed reached an extremely abnormal level. In this state, I learn the Mordo language very quickly. If I could take Beholder Potion every day, I think my improvement in archaeology would be enormous."

"The negative energy particle information on the fossil bones spins before my eyes like dancing eyeballs, as if I myself am one of them. So beautiful, this is simply art, I really want to immerse myself completely in this art..."

Locke quickly used the Deep Purple Jade necklace on his chest to slightly purify his chaotic mana and concentrate his attention.

Over the next week, Locke spent most of his time in the laboratory learning archaeology.

The remaining time was divided into three parts: one part was overseeing the botanical garden's expansion of Jade Iris Lichen magical fields, another part was entering the Healing Hand Treatment Center to continue treatment and collect medium-term treatment effects of Bear Spirit Jade Bile Detoxification Potion, and the final part was meditation to continue improving his mana.

A week later, Locke sat in front of the Three-Eyed Tiger Cat fossil bones, observing the negative energy particle field information on them.

Blue light emanated from his eyes, and a phantom appeared before him.

A Three-Eyed Tiger Cat with enormous size, covered in soft white fur like a giant tiger, stepped on ancient forest ground and ancient magical plants, moving freely through the forest.

Wherever it passed, all beasts were startled.

In the blink of an eye, the eye pattern on the Three-Eyed Tiger Cat's forehead suddenly flickered with magical radiance, forming a spell eye that looked toward a unicorn in the forest. Immediately, that unicorn's body was blown into fragments, and a light pillar rose from where it had been fragmented.

That light pillar seemed to have a magnetic field, sucking in all the small magical creatures around it. Countless birds and beasts cried out in alarm as they were forcibly drawn into the light pillar and disappeared.

The Three-Eyed Tiger Cat's pupils contracted slightly as it strolled leisurely over to collect its spoils. But at that moment, flocks of magical bird creatures seemed to fly over from behind it. Follow current novels on novèlfire.net

They blotted out the sky, even hiding the sun's rays.

The panic of those magical bird creatures was unprecedented. Even this ancient forest's king, the ancient magical creature Three-Eyed Tiger Cat, seemed startled. It looked back with dense fear in its eyes, apparently afraid of something.

Then, the scene in Locke's mind abruptly stopped and suddenly cut off. Locke was forced to terminate his Mordo language interpretation.

He rubbed his eyeballs. The scene just now had somewhat impacted him, but ultimately, he still hadn't seen anything clearly.

"This is my first time conducting historical scene interpretation."

"The result was seeing some kind of large-scale disaster. In the face of such enormous disaster, even the Three-Eyed Tiger Cat, a First Circle magical creature approaching formal wizard level, had no resistance capability. What disaster was that exactly?"

"Was it some kind of local large-scale disaster, or did some era of this world once experience a disaster spanning the entire world?"

Locke fell into contemplation. "No wonder McCarthy suspected that ancient creatures suddenly went extinct collectively. If he often saw such scenes, he would definitely have suspicions."

"It couldn't be some giant eyeball descending on this world at some time period... stop." Locke slapped his face, forcibly interrupting his thoughts to prevent continuing to think deeply about eyeballs.

"The side effects of Beholder Potion are still a bit too powerful for my current physical constitution."

Locke lit a stick of calming incense in the corner of the laboratory, then continued to begin interpreting the information inside this ancient creature fossil specimen.

During the interpretation process, Locke's proficiency in the Mordo language would also rapidly improve.

Originally, he would have needed more than five years to learn to this level, but because he used Beholder Potion, he directly jumped to this degree.

Beholder Potion's enhancement for learning archaeology was enormous. Its main effects and side effects were exactly what was needed for learning archaeology.

The reason black wizards didn't use Beholder Potion in large quantities was first because they simply didn't have enough potion masters there, making it probably very difficult to obtain Beholder Potion.

When Hussein wanted to do an experiment, he even had to deceive Twin Flower Soul Condensing Potion from Locke's side.

And Beholder Potion's creation difficulty and rarity far exceeded Twin Flower Soul Condensing Potion.

Black wizard society probably didn't have this kind of potion at all.

Moreover, ordinary black wizards didn't even know Beholder Potion existed.

As a potion master's assistant, Locke only learned of this potion's existence after asking the dwarf Orr, who was a general scholar.

The second reason was that Beholder Potion's side effects were truly terrifying.

"Probably both reasons apply." Locke looked at the ancient creature fossil specimen, carefully reading the Mordo language on it.

"First, next I need to read the information about the Three-Eyed Tiger Cat bloodline portion from the information contained within this fossil..."

"Then compare it with the pure bloodline I extracted from the cat women in my hands, to see exactly how much difference there is between them."

"However, this workload is enormous, involving sequencing the bloodline factor spectrum within magical creatures. I can only focus on the key points for research. Otherwise, let alone one month, even if given a hundred years, a thousand years, this work would still be an endless mess."

Sequencing all bloodline factors of a magical creature had always been a hot research project in the white wizard field.

Complete sequencing work on bloodline factors contained within magical creatures' bloodline essence had such projects established in major wizard organizations.

Corresponding results were produced every year but sequencing work had never been completely finished, no one could accomplish it.

Even the bloodline factor sequencing work of ordinary magical creatures hadn't been completed, making it impossible to create their complete bloodline factor sequence spectrum.

Anyway, whoever could accomplish this would be almost equivalent to penetrating the Creator's mysteries, being one of the ultimate projects in magical creature research.

There were many reasons for this but in any case, this was a field that even First Circle wizards couldn't complete, and bloodline factors were extremely numerous. Just the known ones numbered over thirty-nine thousand.

Some were bloodline factors unique to specific magical creatures, while others were bloodline factors common to all creatures but that didn't matter.

He didn't need the bloodline essence information obtained from the fossil specimen to be completely identical to the bloodline essence information of the blood he had extracted.

Just mostly similar would suffice.

Locke thought, "Anyway, during bloodline transbotanical garden modification, some bloodline factors will pair themselves, and even if there are some incorrect pairings, they will automatically correct themselves."

"This is also the biggest source of side effects when wizards undergo bloodline modification."

"Some modifications are essentially based on mysticism, relying entirely on small portions of factors in the bloodline essence injected into the organism to self-match."

"Therefore, the same bloodline modification potion has different modification effects and side effect degrees for different wizard apprentices. However, higher precision bloodline modification potions naturally have fewer side effects."

Locke looked at the [Ancient Creature Bloodline Modification Chapter] recorded in the Tome of the Tombstone, "Archaeologists have their own bloodline modification methods, which differ from Conjuration School wizards."

"Let me see what the next step should be."
