Ian could sense the struggle in Sai Nan's heart, but he didn't know what the other party was fighting for.

So he just turned his head to the side again, looking at the bag of strange mutated fluorescent algae.

The silver light is mixed with blue fluorescence, and the detailed subtitles appear in front of my eyes.

But this time, what appeared was not rough data, but more in-depth information.

【Taixi Fluorescent Algae】

[Growth duration - 23 days in July, mutation duration - 12 days and 9 o'clock]

[Contains source quality: 12.23 basic units]

[Specificity: This type of mutant fluorescent algae has a small amount of paralytic toxin, which increases in intensity after maturity, and ingestion of a small amount can cause cardiopulmonary arrest and even death]

"A single strand is only 0.72, and a sack of whole strands is 12.23... and the normal fluorescent algae data, a single strand is only 0.035 to 0.06. Although it is not a sublimation material, it is still a good alchemy material."

"From the beginning of the mutation, the daily growth of source quality is close to 0.06—the superior mutant species of fluorescent algae 'Taixi sun algae' contains more than 2.7 source quality in a single root, and the overall source quality can exceed 50 basic units, which is 'positive blue' , high-order materials in the first energy level."

"If the mutation is stable and does not decay, then after 33 days, the mutation will enter a peak."

Calculating the data in his mind, Ian thought about it.

On the continent of Terra, biological mutations are generally related to sudden changes in the environment and extreme changes in the psychic field—the birth of the primordial monster was due to the accumulation of too much source matter in the body, which led to natural sublimation.

There are good and bad sublimation. The good ones are the ancestors of monsters, and the bad ones will become food and the food for the sublimation of other beings.

The impact of environmental changes on life in the entire ecosystem is also different, but in general, it can be regarded as a normal distribution: it is difficult for creatures that are too simple and too complex to spontaneously sublimate due to the spiritual energy field, on the contrary. Various plants and beasts are prone to change.

However, even a simple plant like fluorescent algae has mutated, which is enough to prove that the environment around the fluorescent algae, the spiritual energy field, has undergone extremely drastic changes.

The only thing that can cause such drastic changes is a 'labyrinth' or a 'natural disaster'.

Whether it is a maze or a natural disaster, it will cause drastic changes in the psionic field before it is formed, causing various changes in the surrounding animals and plants. This is the so-called 'disaster'.

There are scholars who specialize in the study of disaster omens, and they are scattered all over the earth, paying special attention to this aspect of information.

According to this group of researchers, the real disaster will come when the mutated creatures spawned by the disaster fully mature.

Ian finished reading the book "The Change and Sublimation of the Natural Ecology by the Psionic Field" written by this group of researchers two years ago. It also used various materials as proof very professionally. The speed of life sublimation is directly proportional to the speed of change in the spiritual energy field itself.

In other words, when the source quality of the Taixi fluorescent algae accumulates to a level close to that of the Taixi sun algae, it will undergo a metamorphosis—and at the same time, the entire spiritual energy field will undergo a transformation, even a huge one. mutation!

Whether this mutation is a step in the formation of the maze, or a natural disaster like a big storm, is another matter.

And that time point, calculated according to the standard formula, is thirty-three days later.

Of course, the data of thirty-three days is only an ideal estimate, absolutely inaccurate, and various local conditions must be considered, but it can roughly estimate a time range.

"Fortunately, the time for the mutation is not long. No matter what the mutation is, it will take more than half a month to occur, as estimated at the fastest speed."

Nodding slightly, he couldn't help but let out a long breath in his heart. Ian is not in a hurry now.

Although the wisdom of the silver chip can only give these basic information, Ian can extract valuable information from this information with his own knowledge: "This information is what the people behind Sai Nan want to know. "

"They want to use the quality of this seaweed to roughly estimate the time point of the mutation."

"sorry!"

But at this moment, Sai Nan gritted his teeth. He took out a few large silver coins from his pocket and patted them on the table, then picked up the sack beside him, and was about to leave: "I really can't say... I'm sorry, little Ian , take this money to buy some food for Elan."

He has already made up his mind not to drag Ian and his family into trouble, and he will go to explain and apologize to the group of customers by himself later.

——It seems that I am still not dignified enough. If it was Elder Pude, Sai Nan would have knelt down and admitted his mistake by this time...

And with five thalers, Elan could eat a fruit platter until he was stuffed to death.

Ian didn't stop him, he just looked at the five talers on the counter, couldn't help shaking his head, and reminded Sai Nan's back: "Uncle Sai Nan, it's not too late, at least ten days later—" Before that, don't do stupid things, and think about whether to confess for a few days!"

He was not in a hurry, because looking at it now, the cause of Sai Nan's death was obviously not because of the group of people behind him, but some kind of natural crisis.

And just after Sailor left, Ian's calm expression gradually became serious, until his brows were tightly frowned.

"Hey, although I'm a little stupid and honest, it's easy to get along with each other in normal times, but it's a little troublesome at critical moments."

He got up, opened the door, and let the cold wind of the gloomy afternoon by the sea pour into the house: "Uncle Sai Nan is here to visit me, I think the people behind him will find me tonight... We should prepare in advance."

The sound of the wind chimes at the eaves was almost frantic, jingling, intense and rapid, and the sea in the distance was already covered with dark clouds, and the brilliance of the sun could not be seen at all.

There was no one in the surrounding streets, except for a few voices on Dock Street not far away urging to move goods, everyone was at home waiting for the rainstorm to come.

Ian stood on the street, closed his eyes, mobilized the bits and pieces of light filling his brain, and imagined himself as a vortex, a black hole, pulling all the light together.

Meditation, visualization, and mobilizing psionic energy are the most basic and common means. Originally, the young man was already strong enough just to use it instinctively, but now he actively mobilized his spiritual energy, which can greatly reduce physical energy consumption, but the activation speed of the predictive vision will be slower.

Ian's visualization is a simulated starry sky. There are twenty-three stars twinkling in his dark mind - the number of stars is related to the strength of spiritual power. When he first learned to meditate three years ago, there were only five stars in his mind. Xinghui, and now there are many more.

It's different from when I observed Sai Nan before, I just randomly mobilized a "star light" in my mind to see, at this moment, Ian mobilized all the remaining 23 "star lights" in his mind, that is, consciously awakened Can come, all the psionic energy accumulated in six years of practice, poured into the eyes.

Then, open your eyes.

For a moment, there seemed to be a flame ignited in the blue eyes.

Floating brilliance flickered in his eyes, and Ian looked around the entire street and the entire Port of Harrison.

Immediately, in his field of vision, all the buildings and streets in Port Harris that he could see were filled with a layer of black air!

Although the thin black air is like a morning mist, it is gradually becoming thicker, and there seems to be some traces of blood in it.

"cough!"

All this happened in just one second, and Ian immediately closed his eyes after watching this second, but the backlash from forcibly observing the good and bad of the smaller half of the city still came.

He coughed heavily on the spot, and although he skillfully covered it with his hands, he could still smell the rusty sweetness quickly.

He took his hands away, his hands were bright red, and the blood overflowing from his eyes, mouth and nose due to the backlash of psionic energy was even lingering with a tinge of darkness, which slowly dissipated after a while.

The boy frowned and stared at the palm of his hand, his eyes were covered with water vapor due to backbiting and coughing, and his pale and solemn expression was a bit cute to be honest because of his age and appearance.

But Ian didn't have this kind of self-awareness, he looked very serious at the moment, after wiping the blood off his hand, the young man couldn't help shaking his head and muttering: "Sure enough, it's not just Sai Nan...and not only natural disasters, but also man-made disasters. "

"Troublesome..."
