Scorching sunlight came down from above. Schools of fish that needed the ultraviolet rays to kill the bacteria on their skin swam to the sunken reefs, and would occasionally sweep past Mo Fan's feet. Their scales were glowing brightly under the sunlight.

More fish gradually showed up. Mo Fan felt like he could easily kill a few of them by stomping his foot. He started playing with the fish, since he was bored. He basically unleashed a tiny electric current to paralyze the fish so they were having trouble keeping up with the other fish and kept ramming into the others.

Speaking of which, if the fish actually had a better texture, Mo Fan would not mind turning into a grilled fish master and letting Mu Ningxue have a taste of his craft… didn't he once have an idea of opening a restaurant with the name Song of Ice and Fire? He should be practicing more whenever he had the chance...

Mo Fan was having the time of his life when he suddenly felt a strong vibration originating from deep under the ocean. Even the firm reefs were shaking quite vigorously!

As the undercurrent cames, the schools of fish that were enjoying their sunbaths immediately fled like headless flies.

Mo Fan felt his legs turning numb. He could clearly feel the force was coming from extremely deep underneath them, yet the vibration was still strong despite the great distance!

”What's going on?” Bobby had fallen asleep on the boat. He immediately rose to his feet when he heard the resonance.

”We are in trouble,” Lingling said in a deep voice. Her eyes were fixed on the monitor.

”Don't tell me the maggot went to disturb those Lightning Explosion Cuttlefish?” Bobby moaned.

Lingling shook her head.

”Hehe, then it must have decided to turn into a Sea Monkey… alright, I guess that wasn't a great joke,” Mo Fan said with a hint of self-mockery.

”It's currently at a depth of around twenty-four hundred meters. The Black Sea Drake must have noticed something. It just roared to intimidate the invisible intruder. The quake from before was caused by the Black Sea Drake's breath,” Lingling explained.

”That little asshole, why do I think it's purposely trying to set us up?!” Mo Fan cursed.

”Let's go back, we'll let it run its own course,” Bobby took over the pilot cabin and fired up the engine.

Was the little maggot being serious? How could it possibly think that it could take on the Black Sea Drake? The only time Bobby would hear about a Black Sea Drake was from a tier-one Hunter Group, and they would purposely keep the casualties a secret.

”We can't go back now, the maggot is most likely going to die! If we don't take care of the Drowning Curse now, more than five hundred people will die within a year, and that will go up to a thousand in two years! Although someone will still come up with the vaccine after several years, it will only be done after countless people have fallen victim to the Drowning Curse,” Lingling said grimly.

The determination on Lingling's face even surprised Bobby. He could not imagine he had just heard the words from a little girl who was only around ten years old. It was like the thoughts had occupied her heart for a long time. She did not hesitate or back off when she was expressing them!

”It's true that we can turn away and ignore the threat, but it's also undeniable that people are going to die to the potential threat, and among them might be the beloved daughter of a father from a healthy, ordinary family. If the family ended up in despair after losing the daughter, then we are actually no different than the culprit's accomplice!”

Mo Fan suddenly recalled a line he saw from an old diary. His heart shuddered when he linked it to the determination on Lingling's face.

Previously, Mo Fan had accidentally seen Lingling's diary that she normally placed under her pillow at the Clearsky Hunter Agency. A sentence was written in it clearly, and it was the last page of the diary. The pages after it were completely blank.

Mo Fan could easily guess that it was the last words that Lingling's father had left for her. The Senior Hunter had told her daughter that, but he never came back.

The threat that was mentioned in the entry was the Red Demon, the super demon that the Essence Orb gave birth to!

Even though Mo Fan had never seen Lingling's father, who had been a Senior Hunter, he could not help but feel respectful whenever he saw the strong beliefs as a Hunter that the Senior Hunter had passed down to his daughter.

”Mo Fan, what do you think?” Mu Ningxue asked Mo Fan softly.

”I am a Hunter too, so it's pretty hard for me to turn around and leave now. Besides, the reward is insane! The Black Sea Drake might be tough, but we'll find a way to deal with it. Let's try! Even if we fail, it's fine because we've already tried our best,” Mo Fan said.

Lingling glanced at Mo Fan with glittering eyes.

She liked to partner with Mo Fan because of how fearless he was; daring enough to infiltrate the devil's nest, and take on even the scariest demon!
