Chapter 183. One of the Talents
Mo Fan wielded a Thunderfire Blade, a fusion of high-level magic, its dazzling light making it seem like a weapon of punishment from the gods.
"Whoosh!!!"
The moment the sword was swung down, the air was torn apart, producing a sharp whistling sound, as if the whole world was trembling at the sight of that strike.
As the wicked maggot-like dragon watched the blade descend, an overwhelming sense of fear surged within him.
It only wanted to escape, but this destructive aura followed it like a shadow, so how could it escape so easily?
"Boom!" The blade formed by the fusion of thunder and fire fell, and the power of thunder and fire instantly exploded in the sky above the sea.
Lightning danced like silver snakes, weaving into a terrifying electric grid; flames surged like a raging tide, spreading wildly in all directions. Wherever they touched, the seawater instantly vaporized, rising in plumes of white mist. The sea surface was churned and churned by this powerful force. The powerful shockwave spread far and wide, causing nearby islands to tremble.
The pseudo-dragon of Wuhai, amidst the destruction, was even more severely wounded.
After the skin and scales of the False Dragon were torn off, it could be seen that its body was not entirely made of dragon meat, but rather of the white ant maggots that had previously devoured the False Dragon of Wuhai. These ant maggots were feeding back, thus forming the complete shell of the False Dragon of Wuhai!
One by one, maggots fell from the spot where the evil maggot pseudo-dragon was injured by the lightning explosion. The evil maggot pseudo-dragon, which was shining with dark light and looked majestic just now, immediately turned into a bloody mess and charred pieces!
"Aww~~!!"
The monstrous pseudo-dragon let out a wail, never expecting that Mo Fan's strength would be so terrifying!
With just one strike, it was left on the verge of death.
If it knew how powerful Mo Fan was, why would it have appeared here to show off its strength?
Wouldn't it be better to just escape?
Once you escape into the deep sea, even if this human is powerful, they will have no way to deal with you.
But ironically, after gaining immense power, it wanted humanity to understand that even this wicked maggot was not to be trifled with.
But who could have imagined that this human hadn't even used their full strength before?!
Mo Fan's fusion magic left not only Bobby but also Mu Ningxue speechless.
That power was completely beyond imagination.
"Mo Fan, what were you doing just now?" Mu Ningxue asked, looking at Mo Fan who had returned.
"One of my talents," Mo Fan said casually.
He is, after all, a man with a system, and his talent is undeniable. If something can't be explained, then it can only be attributed to innate talent.
Upon hearing Mo Fan's words, Mu Ningxue was also astonished. "One of the talents"
One of those amazing talents!
Others are already quite remarkable for having one innate talent, but Mo Fan, in addition to being born with two elements, actually has other talents!
This really shows how infuriating it is to compare yourself to others.
Lingling was also witnessing Mo Fan's fusion technique for the first time, and she was quite shocked.
She had always thought she knew Mo Fan very well, but now it seemed that was just her assumption.
But then again, the stronger Mo Fan becomes, the better for Lingling.
That way, I'll be able to take on more and bigger bounties in the future.
"There shouldn't be anyone dying from the drowning curse anymore, right?" Bobby said on the way back.
Lingling shook her head and said seriously, "All living things go through a process of evolution. Even if we obtain a vaccine against these maggots, which can temporarily prevent humans from being captured by these invisible parasitic maggots, these terrifying parasitic species still exist throughout the ocean. They haven't been completely eradicated; they can choose not to parasitize humans but instead parasitize demons."
"How many powerful demons are like that fake dragon from Wuhai, transformed from maggots? It's impossible to count or investigate them all. Perhaps one day in the future, another, even more terrifying parasitic little devil will emerge from the maggot population, capable of bypassing the protection of the vaccine we found this time."
Lingling's words silenced them once again.
If we look at an individual life form, most life forms, including humans, are gradually becoming stronger.
From the perspective of longer timelines and the continuation of the species, life is constantly evolving.
Demons spur humanity to unite and grow stronger, while humanity continuously kills demons and suppresses their numbers. In other words, in this world, neither humans nor demons can be eradicated by their natural enemies. What truly becomes extinct are those groups and races that stagnate and can no longer adapt to this environment, ultimately becoming a page in history.
Perhaps many years ago, humans were nothing more than livestock in the eyes of powerful demons, to be slaughtered and devoured at will. It was the continuation of the race that gave rise to magic, technology, cities, and mages, which gave humans the power to contend with demons. But if humans were to stop there, one day they would be completely replaced by terrible little devils like maggots, or they might be wiped out by the powerful demon race!
Lingling's father, although he was just sticking to the sacred duty of a hunter, wasn't that a kind of progress? Those who take steps forward may die, but at least they allow this race to continue and become stronger!
If no one in this world steps forward to uphold this duty and mission, then humanity and human mages may also fade into history, easily turned over as a page in a book by another biological civilization.
The maggot race cannot be completely eradicated, and the vaccine that Lingling obtained can probably only keep people free from this drowning curse for a few years.
That's all they could do. Hopefully, when such hidden dangers and crises arise again in the future, there will still be hunters like Lingling, who are influenced by their father's ideas, who will step forward with that unwavering determination!
Whether human or demon, both are constantly progressing.
Standing still will only lead to becoming history.
The vaccine matter was entrusted to Lingling, and Bobby also contributed an important opportunity. In addition to the boat and other things, Mo Fan gave him a reward of ten million.
After all, without Bobby's brother's contribution, this reward might not have been possible.
Not long after, Mo Fan saw headlines in some news media describing the drowning curse vaccine.
"The Azure Sky Hunting Grounds have solved the global plague curse and have been awarded a huge bounty!"
Lingling attributed her name to the Qingtian Hunting Grounds and kept a low profile, mainly because she was worried that revealing her age would cause even more trouble.
Imagine, those old hunter masters in their fifties and sixties with white hair are analyzing the drowning curse incident, only to find that the drowning curse was resolved by a teenage girl and a young man in his twenties. Where would they put their old faces then?
The Qingtian Hunting Agency already has a great reputation in the country, so it's not a big problem to attribute such a major event to them.
As for the bounty, Lingling, that little brat, is of little use for the money; almost all of it goes to subsidize Mo Fan.
