The sky was clear and blue, not a wisp of cloud was in sight. It looked like an enormous, blue gem.

The sea was deep blue. The vast ocean made it difficult to tell the directions.

As the duo soared in the air between the sky and the ocean, the only references they could find were some islands scattered across the water. However, the islands also served as a challenge to them, as there was a chance that the Sea Monkey was hiding on one of them.

”We have to find the Sea Monkey while it's still in the safe zone. Once it leaves the safe zone, it will be like searching for a needle in the ocean!” said Zhao Manyan.

Mo Fan nodded. He kept telling himself to think calmly.

The area below was still inside the safe zone. Apart from the islands, they also saw a few fishermen. Mo Fan felt that searching for the Sea Monkey without any clue was surely not going to work. Perhaps the experienced fishermen might give them some helpful hints.

”Zhao Manyan, let's head down,” said Mo Fan.

Zhao Manyan picked a boat and slowly landed on it while beating his golden wings.

Surprisingly, the fisherman on the boat was neither an old man nor a young man, but a woman around the age of twenty-five. She was wearing a bamboo hat which covered her tanned face. Her physique was fit and her skin was nicely tanned.

She looked surprised when she saw Mo Fan and Zhao Manyan. It was her first time being so close to a Magician who could fly. However, she quickly collected her thoughts and greeted the two Magicians with a polite smile.

”Should we look for an older fisherman?” Zhao Manyan assumed they would be wasting their time when he realized it was a woman.

Even though the fisherwoman was attractive in her own way, he was not in the mood to flirt with her now.

”I grew up here, so feel free to ask me anything,” the fisherwoman smiled, revealing her white teeth.

Mo Fan used the shortest time possible to explain the situation to the woman, hoping that she could help them to find the Sea Monkey.

”We call the Sea Monkeys you mentioned water ghosts. We've been seeing them a lot in this area when we go fishing in the past few years,” said the fisherwoman.

”Can you help us to find the creature?” asked Mo Fan.

”The water ghosts mainly stay on the islands and on land. They can't swim underwater for too long. If they are heading further away into the ocean, they would most likely rest at some bamboo shoot reefs. Besides, they like to eat the seaweed on the bamboo shoot reefs too...you can try searching for bamboo shoot reefs instead,” said the fisherwoman.

”Are there bamboo shoot reefs nearby?” asked Zhao Manyan.

”There are a bunch of them just outside the safe zone. I can contact the others from my village to tell you where they are, but we won't dare to leave the safe zone,” said the fisherwoman.

”Alright, thanks,” Mo Fan nodded.

”Don't mention it, I believe anyone would want to help in this situation,” said the fisherwoman.

---

Mo Fan and Zhao Manyan followed the fisher woman's directions and headed straight to where the bamboo shoot reefs were located.

It was the only bank of bamboo shoot reefs close to the boundaries of the safe zone. As such, it was highly possible that the Sea Monkey was resting here before swimming further away into the ocean.
