Fenna was a general, so she could only ask an experienced soldier to help Mo Fan and the others search for the young Medusa. They could not afford to allocate more manpower, since Cairo was still in the middle of a battle. They were already short on men.

Heidi wanted to wait for Brianca to return, as it would be safer for them to enter the Medusae's territory with her around. Even if they stumbled into a mature Medusa, Brianca should still be able to handle it.

Unfortunately, they had not heard from Brianca since she left. She had only told them she would regroup with them in Cairo in a week, but the Curse would surely worsen by then. By the time Brianca arrived, she would be retrieving their corpses instead!

”It seems like we are on our own,” Mo Fan said helplessly.

”It's not like we can ask anybody for help, either. Who would be willing to risk their lives for us?” Zhao Manyan said.

The people of the European University Institute struggled to make up their minds, but they finally decided to search for the young Medusa, too. It was unlikely they could survive the torture of the Curse long enough to live.

Luckily, Vani was a mentor, indicating that he was at least a Super Mage!

A mentor that was in charge of students who were on an expedition to graduate with excellence was surely a Super Mage. After all, most of the students in the European University Institute had reached the Advanced Level for all their Elements. Their strength was more or less on par with Mo Fan and his crew, thus they might be of some help when the time came.

As a matter of fact, most Mages in the wild formed a balanced team, as different Elements come into handy in different situations. It was not a bad idea to bring these people of the European University Institute along as sacrificial victims!

The Europeans were clearly holding a strong grudge. They were here for their final trial so they could graduate, but their lives were now at stake because of the Curse of the Medusae. The plan to invade the Medusae's nest to search for the young Medusa was basically a suicide mission!

The group restocked the necessary supplies to travel in the wilds of Egypt. Since they were mainly up against Medusae and Gorgons, antidotes were a must.

However, the antidotes were not useful in every situation. They normally served as an ingredient. There were many kinds of poison, thus they would have to mix the right ingredients according to the situation to produce the right antidote.

”Do we only have one herbalist among us!?” Zhao Manyan asked. He was shocked that the European University Institute did not have a single person that knew how to mix medicines!

”We have no healer and no herbalist, and we are about to invade a place with the deadliest poison in the world. I think it's better for us to die comfortably in Cairo instead,” Zhao Manyan grumbled.

”I'm one,” Mu Bai said.

”Damn, what use does a hobbyist like you have?” Zhao Manyan said.

”Still better than a useless prick like you who does nothing but complain!” Mu Bai grunted in return.

”I'm a Plant Mage, but I don't know how to mix medicine,” Sofia said.

”So we must collect as many antidote ingredients as possible. Don't worry, I'm quite familiar with poisons. I should know how to deal with them, as long as they aren't like the Curse, but I don't know how to mix the antidotes either...” Chad said.

Mu Bai was no hobbyist. He was actually an Advanced Herbalist, certified by both the Hunter Union and the Magic Association. The mistake he had made with the aphrodisiac was only an accident...
