1433 Signal on the Ocean (2/2)

Mo Fan approached the dam that was still under construction. He saw rapid movement along it, indicating that something must have happened.

”Viscera Hunters!”

”A ship of ours is surrounded by Viscera Hunters on the ocean. We have to provide them with backup immediately!”

A patrol leader went up to the dam and looked in the direction a Brilliant Light was fired into, but he could not see the ship that was mentioned.

”They are too far away from us. Damn it, how dare they ambush the ship in revenge while it's on its way back! Such cunning creatures!” the patrol leader said.

Mo Fan went up to the dam when he heard the noise going around. However, he was told that only authorized personnel were allowed on it.

”Mm? Mentor, why are you here!?” a woman blurted out.

Mo Fan turned around and saw Cao Qinqin. Only Cao Qinqin and Bai Hongfei would address him like that.

”What's going on?” Mo Fan asked.

”It's the Viscera Hunters, an extremely vicious and cunning species of sea monster! They are scouts for the sea monsters' army, but they are also detestable killers at the same time. Lately, we've discovered that the Viscera Hunters are preying on our city. Sister Shao Yu put up a job request to hire a few squads of Hunters to annihilate the Viscera Hunters. They just signaled us that they are on their way back, but the Viscera Hunters have surrounded them just as they entered the safe zone. The Viscera Hunters that fled must have gathered some reinforcements and intercepted the ship on their way back,” Cao Qinqin said.

”How many are there?” Mo Fan asked.

”More than a thousand, according to the signal we've received. It's hard to tell if we can gather enough people in such a short period of time,” Cao Qinqin was clearly a lot more familiar with Fanxue Mountain's new city than Mo Fan. She basically treated it as her new home.

”I can't fly, nor can I swim, but it sounds like they are in great trouble!” Mo Fan said anxiously.

Battling on the sea had always been a huge problem for Mo Fan. The ship was around five kilometers away from the land. How could he possibly make it?

”Mentor, I can bring you there, I'm a Water Mage!” Cao Qinqin said.

”Sure!”

There were not many Advanced Water Mages around. Cao Qinqin immediately jumped into the water with Mo Fan. The patrol leader also came with a bunch of Mages. He glared at Cao Qinqin and grunted, ”Nonsense, do you think you can rescue them on your own? Don't you know how deadly these Viscera Hunters are!?”

Cao Qinqin stuck her tongue out. She did not explain herself.

Cao Qinqin was indeed a brilliant student of Pearl Institute. Her control of the Water Element was very impressive. She was controlling a huge wave to carry them forward like a giant fish, heading for the dark ocean in the distance.

”Follow them quick, we can't let anything happen to them!” the patrol leader, Tang Peng, shouted.

”Captain Tang, how did you manage to gather a team so quickly? You've already gathered six teams in no time!” Cao Qinqin turned around and saw five other teams following behind them.

Tang Peng was Cao Qinqin's friend, and had great affection for the girl. He was appointed the captain of the patrolling squads of Fanxue Mountain when he first came to the barren land. However, as Fanxue Mountain continued to grow rapidly, his position also rose significantly.

Tang Peng was quite a powerful Mage. He was once a soldier, and had outstanding management skills. Mu Linsheng gladly left the responsibility of ensuring the safety of the Fanxue Mountain coastline to him.

”We are on alert at all times!” Tang Peng had a proud face when he saw the rescue team in great order. In the past, Fanxue Mountain's patrol was like a sheet of loose sand, a bunch of vagrants, but they were now efficient and quick, like a troop of soldiers!

”Mentor, it looks like you won't have to get your hands dirty this time,” Cao Qinqin smiled at Mo Fan.

”I'll still come along;, I have nothing to do anyway,” Mo Fan replied.
