Chapter 283:X-ray inspection of the ring

Charlotte didn't expect that the Shepherd would go to capture the Necromancer.

Although they didn't capture the Necromancer who attacked Marsha, they managed to capture seven or eight other Necromancers along the way.

It is explained that quite a few Necromancers are wandering around the outskirts of the Abyss during the night. In the future, Marsha should reduce her outings.

[Miracle: Alright, thank you for your assistance.]

Then, Charlotte opened a private chat with the Witch.

[Witch: On the night of the Red Moon, the cursed mist has started to move faster and it seems to be heading towards the gathering point of the Sea Clan. Do you think it indicates the appearance of corrupted creatures? Once the cursed mist covers the Sea Clan gathering point, it will directly kill all the Sea Clan members. Currently, there is no means of eradicating or defending against it.]

This was a message that the Witch sent him an hour ago, and looking at the message, Charlotte couldn't help but feel a shiver down his spine.

According to August's explanation, the cursed mist, known as the Resentful Mist on land, would cause rapid death once an individual is caught in it.

The gathering point of the Sea Clan referred to the towns on the coast. Once it is shrouded in the mist, it will result in the tragic death of tens or even hundreds of thousands of people in a short period.

Moreover, according to the characteristics of the Resentful Mist, the number and intensity would likely increase after absorbing tens of thousands of Resentful Spirits.

What was more terrifying, as the Witch stated, the mist seemed to have developed autonomous behavior or, rather, it started moving towards the Sea Clan gathering point under the guidance of the Red Moon.

Regardless of whether it was the Sea Clan or the various races on land, after experiencing more than a thousand years of the onslaught, they finally found some respite by relying on high walls and magical shields.

But if the opponent changed to be the mist, this stable situation would be shattered.

Charlotte's finger hovered on the screen, not knowing what to say. His knowledge about the mist was extremely limited, making it impossible for him to provide any effective advice.

He then opened a message from the Hermit, which asked about Marsha's condition and stated that if they couldn't find a suitable light mage, they could send her to the Elven Forest, where an arrangement for a light mage to cure her curse could be made.

Charlotte expressed his gratitude and informed him that Marsha's condition had been properly treated.

Only then did he open the Red Moon group chat.

There were over a hundred messages, starting with discussing the abnormally strong tide of beasts tonight.

The Night Watch leader was also busy in multiple cities tonight and personally witnessed three town walls breached by the tidal wave, resulting in the deaths of all residents devoured by the corrupted creatures.

The same tragic situation occurred in various corners of the Isor continent.

The Shepherd was still in Calva. Tonight, Calva also suffered a significant impact from the creature tide.

The town walls were breached momentarily under the lead of multiple mother creatures. Fortunately, Calva had a large number of strong individuals and had several contingency plans, so it managed to withstand the pressure and the walls weren't breached.

The sea creatures from the depths of the sea also added tremendous pressure to Calva during the high tide.

The Elven Forest also suffered from the onslaught of the creature tide but had already evacuated all small settlements. They gathered all the elves in the Elven City and established multiple defensive lines, resulting in limited casualties during the creature tide.

However, the discussion on the increasingly stronger tide of creatures quickly gave way to the Witch's mention of the mutated cursed mist, causing a fervent discussion and an atmosphere of unparalleled heaviness and despair.

As stated by Charlotte, the various races were still trying to survive under the onslaught of the creature tide. The mutation of the cursed mist could bring about a disastrous event.

To resist the creatures, various races had built large cities, with tall and robust walls and powerful magical shields. They had also abandoned scattered settlements and concentrated their populations.

While the mist didn't move fast, even on the night of the Red Moon, when its speed increased, it was only around 10 km/h.

But the cities were there, and no matter how slow it moved, if it intended to head towards the cities, it would eventually reach them.

The Witch's discovery added even more pressure to the Isor continent, shrouded in the shadow of the Red Moon.

During this time, his strength had already increased to 26,200 kg, but he was still short of breaking through.

His familiarity with combat techniques had also improved.

However, in the face of an increasingly unstable situation, Charlotte felt an even more urgent need to enhance his strength.

[Ding! Completion of the main quest "Abyssal Physician" with an influence of 10,000 points! Reward: Rare item X-ray Inspection Ring! Gained Copper Coins: 100,000!]

Suddenly, the system's voice sounded.

Charlotte's right middle finger now wore a pale golden ring with ancient patterns engraved on it.

Inside the spatial ring, he now had an additional 100,000 copper coins.

"X-ray Inspection Ring?" Charlotte politely raised his middle finger, examining this seemingly ordinary ring.

[X-ray Inspection Ring: The Host can use touch to complete X-ray imaging of the patient, thereby directly obtaining the internal condition of the patient's body.]

The system immediately explained.

Charlotte's eyes lit up. Wow, this was some high-tech stuff.

For a surgeon, this ring was like having a golden finger.

Sometimes, Charlotte was uncertain whether a patient needed surgery or not, such as with common rib fractures. If he could accurately determine if there were other injuries inside the patient's body, he could decide whether surgery was necessary.

This reward could be said to be extremely practical.

"But why does it have to be a ring? And why wear it on the middle finger?" Charlotte murmured to himself. He took off the ring and tried putting it on other fingers, but it didn't fit properly. After going through all the fingers, he ended up putting it back on his middle finger.

This was a ring specifically tailored for the middle finger.
