England, a castle close to a cliff...
A magnificent corridor led to a luxurious suite at the end. A man was lying tiredly on the couch in the living room.
Another man was also lying on the carpet in front of the couch. Only Mu Bai, clad in a sharp gray suit, was resting on a chair.
The man on the carpet had a phone beside him. When he heard what the other end was saying, he immediately sat upright with a stern face.
We have to go back to China now! Mo Fan said.
Are you kidding me? We just finished a job for that little witch Ayleen. Im worn out! protested Zhao Manyan, who had just sunk into the couch.
Mu Bai opened his eyes. Mo Fan, tell us what happened. He had heard a little of the conversation on the phone.
Well hear it from Houzi in detail on the way! Mo Fan answered.
They put on helmets and asked for the fastest Wind Gauze Inferior Dragon. Soon they were soaring into the stormy clouds above England and heading west.
Are we going in the wrong direction? Zhao Manyan asked. The Wind Gauze Inferior Dragon was heading to the Pacific Ocean!
The Earth is round, dumbass! Mo Fan finally found a chance to mock others despite being completely clueless about geography.
Is Zhang Xiaohou in Hawaii? Mu Bai asked, noting their course.
Mm, well meet him there first. How long will it take this Wind Gauze Inferior Dragon to reach Hawaii? Mo Fan asked.
Around twenty hours, Mu Bai calculated.
The Wind Gauze Inferior Dragon was Ayleens reward for their job. It had Wind Magic comparable to the Flying Dragon. It was also faster than a Flying Dragon, and its Tamed Level was Six Stars.
However, Ayleen was extremely stingy. She only gave them one Wind Gauze Inferior Dragon. She was unwilling to give them two Flying Dragons.
Luckily, even though the Wind Gauze Inferior Dragon was slightly smaller than a Flying Dragon, it had enough strength to carry the three men.
Flying over the oceans was a lot safer than flying on land. After all, most sea monsters were deep in the sea. They were not interested in trespassers in the sky above.
The land had species and tribes that ruled the skies. They would not allow low-level creatures to fly over their territory.
That being said, the Wind Gauze Inferior Dragon would have no trouble flying over most places. Most demon creatures would avoid it after sensing the huge dragons presence!
A flight of twenty hours was enough for the three to get some rest.
When they arrived in Hawaii, Mo Fan could not help but wonder how the Americans were able to guarantee the safety of these islands that were in the middle of the Pacific Ocean.
Apparently, the Hawaiian Islands have a natural mineral around them that releases a special magic Aura. The sea monsters hate it, so they arent interested in these islands, Mu Bai explained to him, as expected of the top student!
Wouldnt our coasts be safe if we placed the mineral along the coastline? Mo Fan asked eagerly.
Do you think thats possible? It has to be natural and unmined.
They found Zhang Xiaohou in a park. Mo Fan could not help but chide him, Do you really have to hide in the park like a homeless guy, even though you are a Super Mage?
I dont have anything to identify myself, nor did I bring any money, Zhang Xiaohou coughed awkwardly.
Mo Fan was speechless. They were about to do something shocking, but he still cared if he was to do a little stealing?
Im actually very tired. I have the urge to enjoy my vacation here. Ive always wanted to come here, Zhao Manyan went on tiredly.
The four sat down on the grass.
Zhao Manyan even went to a vending machine to buy some cold beer. However, he dropped the bottles on the ground when he heard that their operation that was related to a Forbidden Curse.
Are you out of your minds? Zhao Manyan shrieked.
They were planning to stop a Forbidden Curse by destroying its Induction!
Zhao Manyan had a feeling they were going to do something crazy when the four of them had come all the way here to work together. Knowing their strength, it had to be something insane if the four of them had to cooperate.
However, he never thought it would be stopping a Forbidden Curse!
They were talking about a Forbidden Curse. Every human was equal before a Forbidden Curse!
Everyone was going to perish, whether they were a Super Mage, an Advanced Mage, an Intermediate Mage, or a Basic Mage!
What exactly is going on? Isnt the Forbidden Curse supposed to eliminate the threat? Shouldnt the military be giving its full support? Mu Bai asked quickly.
I only know there is something scarier than we all have imagined among the sea monsters. Not only is their intelligence on par with humans, but they have also been using all kinds of ways to understand us, and learn our strategies and abilities. They are also using certain people to set a trap for us, Zhang Xiaohou told them.
Even though humans were generally weaker than demon creatures, they had relied on their intelligence and unity to fend off the demon creatures that had invaded their territory.
Therefore, they subconsciously thought they could fend off the sea monsters with their intelligence too, but this time, they were wrong!
Well... some academics did mention the possibility of the sea monsters having their own civilization in the deep sea, but we know too little about the sea, Mu Bai nodded, agreeing with Zhang Xiaohou.
Its likely that the sea monsters already know about our plan of using a Forbidden Curse. They are planning to use it to their advantage! Zhang Xiaohou continued.
Xiaohou, arent you a general? You can just show your superiors the evidence. I believe we can solve the matter peacefully. Why do we have to do it the hard way? Zhao Manyan complained.
Zhang Xiaohou shook his head with a wry smile, The problem is, I dont have any evidence.
...
So youre saying it is all your speculation? Even Mu Bai was stunned.
He thought Zhang Xiaohou had discovered a shocking secret, but he did not have any evidence to back his statement?
Were they going to stop a Forbidden Curse because of mere speculation?
If it had happened in the old times, it would be treason, and their whole family for nine generations would be sentenced to death!
Dont worry, I wont ask everyone to risk their lives for something that is just speculation. Its a little sloppy. We might have to split into two groups, Zhang Xiaohou went on.
Why are we splitting up? Mo Fan asked.
Ill look for the evidence.. Its in the area another troop is surveying as an option for the Induction. If it also has the Crusts Axle like the silver vein I found, the Dragon King Krill might end up being a trap!
