Chapter 180. The False Dragon of Wuhai
On the boat that Bobby brought, Lingling also told everyone about the evil maggots.
Moreover, in order to obtain the specimen, Mo Fan and the others also need to be responsible for protecting it so that it can grow up safely.
The sky was a light blue, but the ocean was gradually deepening, and one could sense that this ocean was somewhat unusual.
As they followed the maggots, they unknowingly arrived at the territory of the Wuhai Pseudo-Dragon.
Upon arriving at the reef, Bobby volunteered to investigate.
Not long after, Bobby returned to the reef.
The buildings 500 meters above sea level on the reef are mostly inhabited by ordinary marine creatures. The ferocious sirens are mostly located on the buildings below 500 meters. So, if the few of them are standing here, they will basically be safe.
"I've figured it out." Bobby said with a smile.
"Starting from below sea level, the reef caves 500 to 1,000 meters below sea level are inhabited by sea monkey monsters. There are quite a few of them, almost a group, but there should be no leader. They are a disorganized bunch, basically a slum."
"The reef caves in this area, between one and two thousand meters deep, are inhabited by thunderstorm squid, numbering no less than a thousand, and there should be a commander-level leader among them." Bobby's expression turned somewhat grim when he mentioned thunderstorm squid.
Based on his years of experience in the ocean, these are creatures that are best left alone. The lightning they unleash in the water is so dense that it can produce terrifying storms of lightning, which would basically wipe out all other life in the area except for their own species!
"And below two thousand meters, it's the Wuhai Pseudo-Dragon!!"
Any demon that has even the slightest connection to dragons is usually very strong, even among those of the same level, they are considered superior!
False dragons are demons that carry dragon blood. For example, the lizard-like false dragons in the Golden Forest Wasteland City are probably the illegitimate offspring of an earth dragon and some kind of giant lizard. They are considered to be among the stronger leaders.
Of course, for Mo Fan, there is almost no threat from anything that is not a monarch-level creature.
They then waited quietly on the shore.
The sun shone down directly overhead, bringing with it a scorching heat. Some marine fish that rely on the sun's ultraviolet rays to kill bacteria on their skin had already swum onto this shallow reef, occasionally darting past Mo Fan's feet, their scales shimmering in the sunlight.
The fish were multiplying, and it felt like he could crush several with a single step. Bored, Mo Fan played with them. His method was to release a slight electric current, making the fish that passed by him act like they were drunk, preventing them from maintaining their neat formation and synchronized movements, causing them to stumble and fall in the water.
"Buzz~~~!!!"
Just as Mo Fan was idly passing the time, something like an earthquake wave suddenly surged up from the bottom of the ocean, causing the solid reef below to shake.
As the undercurrent swept in, the fish that had been basking in the sun were suddenly terrified and scattered, bumping around like headless flies.
"What's going on?" Bobby, who was asleep on the ship, jumped up when he heard the noise.
"We're in trouble now." Lingling's voice was low as she stared at the monitor screen.
"Did that maggot go and provoke those thunderstorm squid?" Bobby said.
Lingling shook her head.
"It's currently at a depth of about 2,400 meters. That black pseudo-dragon must have sensed something and roared from the seabed to intimidate this unseen intruder. The seismic wave just now was the black pseudo-dragon's breath," Lingling said.
"What an idealistic maggot," Mo Fan mocked.
"Let's go back and let it die on its own." Bobby walked to the driver's seat, ready to start the engine and leave.
What a joke! The Wuhai Pseudo-Dragon is a monster that can't be messed with. Whenever Bobby hears news about hunting the Wuhai Pseudo-Dragon, it's usually from the top hunter groups, and they always have to hide their casualties.
"We can't go back. The probability of catching live maggots is extremely low. If we don't solve this problem this time, the number of drowning curse deaths will exceed 500 in a year, and will increase to 1,000 in two years. Although someone will definitely extract its vaccine in the future, it will be made up of the corpses of countless drowning curse victims over the years," Lingling said solemnly.
When Lingling said these words, the determination on her little face stunned Bobby. Bobby couldn't believe that such words could come from the mouth of a girl who was only ten years old. It was as if this thought had been rooted in her heart for a long time, and when she uttered it, there was no hesitation or retreat!
"Right now, we can indeed turn a blind eye and let this hidden danger go. But the people who will die because of it in the future are real and exist. They could be like you, a little girl with a father, or they could be a healthy, ordinary family. If they are torn apart, saddened and in pain because of this hidden danger that we once let go, then we are no different from that guy's accomplices!"
Looking at Lingling's appearance, Mo Fan couldn't help but feel a little emotional. This little girl really does have an inexplicable passion for hunting demons!
"Mo Fan, what do you think?" Mu Ningxue asked Mo Fan in a low voice.
"It's just a pseudo-dragon, it's not like we can't handle it. Just do as Lingling said, let it safely complete the preliminary work, then kill it and get the specimen," Mo Fan said.
Lingling glanced at Mo Fan, a ripple appearing in her dark eyes.
She liked partnering with Mo Fan because Mo Fan had a fearless heart, daring to venture into any demonic lair or monster cave, and daring to provoke any powerful evil king!
"Right now the maggot is hiding in a secluded place and doesn't dare to move, but once the Wuhai pseudo-dragon relaxes its guard again, it will definitely go and parasitize it again," Lingling analyzed seriously.
"We need to find a way to get it out of the water, otherwise we will be severely restricted," Mu Ningxue said.
"You guys take your time making plans, I'm leaving now," Bobby said nervously.
Are you crazy? These guys plus a minor are going to fight the fake dragon of Wuhai?
This isn't the hunter's justice; it's the hunter's foolish suicide. In short, he won't do it. One look from the Wuhai Pseudo-Dragon could obliterate him; he won't joke with his own life.
"What are you panicking about? It's not like I'm asking you to go into battle. I told you, I can handle the Wuhai pseudo-dragon myself," Mo Fan said.
"You?? What kind of international joke are you talking about? I know better than any of you what the Wuhai Pseudo-Dragon is. How could a mage like you, who hasn't even grown his hair yet, possibly handle it!" Bobby said.
"Don't think I'm not strong enough just because I'm young. I've encountered demons stronger than the Wuhai Pseudo-Dragon before," Mo Fan said.
"Bobby, you should have seen our strength before. Commander-level creatures are not invincible to us. Now, all you need to do is help us lure that Wuhai pseudo-dragon to the surface, and we will handle the rest. I think you hate the Drowning Curse even more than we do. If we don't resolve this, more people will end up like your brother." Mu Ningxue said to Bobby earnestly.
