Magic Era: My Cells Can Evolve - Chapter 30

“Hey dear, come and play. Have you just returned from the hunting area?”

When this woman saw the man in bloodied clothes walking over, she immediately greeted him with a bright smile.

Magister was considered a high-income and high-risk career. Therefore, they were usually generous when they came out for entertainment.

Women dedicated to their work loved entertaining magisters.

“To the corner.”

That magister croaked.

“The corner?”

“Oh ~ so you want to play here? Sure, Jade will play with you.”

The working woman named Jade hooked her arm around the magister’s shoulder and walked toward the dark corner in the alley.

When they reached the dark, damp, deserted dead end, the magister suddenly grabbed Jade by the throat.

At first, Jade thought it was an unusual fetish.

However, as the hand gripping her neck exerted more force, Jade felt even more suffocated till she was about to stop breathing. She finally realized that he was serious.

He was going to kill her!

“H… help…”

Jade rolled her eyes and opened her mouth to cry for help.

At that point, the magister opened his mouth, and peculiar red worms crawled out from his throat and violently poured into Jade’s mouth.

“Aaargh…”

Jade rolled her eyes while spitting white foam from her mouth as the red-lined monster worms crawled into her mouth.

It began to invade her brain through her mouth, her nerve center, and her limbs.

When it ended, the magister released his hand and let Jade’s corpse fall to the ground.

But a moment later, Jade, who had fallen to the ground, was back on her feet. She looked no different from a living person.

She went back to recruiting clients.

However, from now on, her service projects were slightly different.

It was a life of luxury.

In an inconspicuous corner of this cage-like city, there was a mysterious change occurring.

…

After dinner, Austin laid on his bed and reviewed the exam.

First of all, he had gained a lot as his cells had evolved considerably.

However, when he checked his stats panel, he was still quite far from becoming a stage five life form.

Austin steeled his resolve to take the path of cell evolution.

He decided to develop his abilities more deeply.

There was also something suspicious.

Why would a high-level vicious beast or even an elite-level vicious beast invade the Vicious Beast Town?

There are only low-level vicious beasts in Vicious Beast Town. There is no need to attack the town and initiate a beast tide, right?

There were different levels of beast tides.

Even if all the vicious beasts in Vicious Beast Town attacked together, it could only be considered a small-scale beast tide.

An actual beast tide was like an avalanche.

Not only would low-level beasts gather, but even high-level and elite-level beasts were part of such a beast tide.

That kind of beast tide required the entire city of Faye to stand guard and defend against it.

Forget it. Let’s not think about it first. Even if the sky collapses, there will be someone taller to hold it up.

There are four tier-six magisters in the city. What is there to be afraid of?

A tier-six magister was an expert comparable to a commander-level vicious beast.

Anything below commander-level vicious beasts was all ants to a tier-six magister, so there was nothing to worry about.

The most important thing now is to improve and continue to let my cells evolve.

Once I have the magister’s medal, I can leave the city alone.

There will be more opportunities in the hunting zone. Of course, it’s more dangerous there.

Austin preferred the freedom of being alone.

Also, being alone in the hunting area meant that he needed to upgrade more to make sure he did not capsize there.

He only had one life, and Austin did not want to die young.

Speaking of which, Austin was the cautious type.

It’ll take three days to get the bronze magister’s medal. In these three days, I still need to strengthen myself.

Austin cleared his mind and started searching for information on his phone.

“I wonder where I can find the Water Spirit Worm.”

Austin knew that the life force of the Water Spirit Worm was very tenacious, even surpassing the cockroaches known as Undying Cockroaches.

Regardless of whether it was the cold environment close to absolute zero, vacuum, high pressure, high temperature, or even being struck by the all-out attack of a tier-six magister, none of them could kill the Water Spirit Worm.

Such a magical creature was simply immortal and indestructible as described in novels!

The Water Spirit Worm was tiny as it ranged from five centimeters to one centimeter.

It was hard to imagine how such a tiny life form could possess such powerful vitality.

If I can come into contact with the Water Spirit Worms, I will have the capital to survive in the outside world after my cells evolve.

But where can I find them?

Reading this, Austin began to look it up.

From the research, Water Spirit Worms were a type of ordinary magical beast that did not have any offensive abilities. They mainly lived in freshwater, damp soil, and mosses, while a few kinds of species lived in the sea.

There were more than ten types of Water Spirit Worms, many of which were distributed worldwide. It covered the Northernmost Continent, the desert, the deep sea, and the swamps. They could be found at the peak of Mount Mastor or in the deep sea.

Reportedly, there were also such weak magical beasts living in volcanoes.

Essentially, it could survive anywhere in the world!

Someone had once discovered this kind of magical beast in the Death Domain.

The Death Domain referred to places where vicious beasts of level six and above lived. As those beasts usually possessed intelligence and had violent temperaments, very few magical beasts of a lower rank than them could survive in such places. Even plants would find it difficult to grow there.

As time passed, not a single blade of grass grew in these places. Thus, they were called the Death Domain.

As for the Water Spirit Worms, despite the lack of offensive means, they were discovered there. Hence, their survival abilities were self-evident.

The descriptions made Austin’s eyes light up as he sat up excitedly on his bed.

“I’ve always thought that Water Spirit Worms live in the deep sea. Under normal circumstances, it’s difficult to come into contact with them.”

“I didn’t expect them to be so common that they can even be found in mosses!”

Austin was excited.

He could not wait to get up immediately to start searching for the legendary treasure, like a child playing treasure-seeking games when he was young.

Austin began to look upon other prominent unique creatures.

For example, the Tiger-armored Devil Insect could erupt with a speed that was over 170 times faster than normal!

The Wind Cheetah was the fastest magical beast on the continent. Its speed could reach over a hundred kilometers per hour.

However, by that ratio, the Wind Cheetah had to run more than 700 kilometers per hour to catch up to the Tiger-armored Devil Insect!

There were also the sacred beetles, known as stag beetles.

It could push objects that weighed more than a thousand times its weight!

Not to mention the Fire Ant, which was far superior to even the Horned Beetle, let alone the Stone Elephant and others.

It was like how a person with a weight of 70 kilograms could lift six double-layered buses.
