People had only heard rumors about how disastrous the Calamity of the White Demons Cloud was going to be after it was first spotted. However, most people only panicked and felt uneasy at the beginning. As long as the disaster had yet to befall them, they would eventually forget it after a few days or months.

However, the Calamity of the White Demons Cloud was not just mere rumors. It was only a matter of time until it came to them. It was going to fall upon every city, and every person in them, like the apocalypse!

When Lingling discovered the truth behind the overpopulation of the Manta Ray Evil Birds, that it was just an unexpected occurrence due to the waste produced by the sea monsters, they could not help but feel uneasy about the situation.

Tangyue could not help but wonder if the Headquarter Cities could actually hold their ground when the White Demons Cloud passed the center of the Pacific Ocean and arrived along China’s shoreline. What would eastern China be like by then?

“Lingling, what’s the solution you mentioned?” Jiang Shaoxu asked after she recalled something.

“If the Manta Ray Evil Birds feed on the Stinky Mayflies, things are a lot simpler. The Stinky Mayflies have a paralyzing poison in them, which is why the Manta Ray Evil Birds’ attacks were poisonous. We can spray some kind of anesthetic across the sea so it will enter the Stinky Mayflies’ poison glands. It will slowly paralyze the Manta Ray Evil Birds when they feed on the Stinky Mayflies… it will be very easy for us to eliminate them,” Lingling said.

“It’s not wise to poison the seawater. It might affect other areas along the coast,” Tangyue said.

“Don’t worry, Sister Tangyue. There’s a kind of Anesthetic Seaweed which the Stinky Mayflies love most. It will prevent the drug from spreading across the sea and the coasts,” Lingling said.

“That’s brilliant!” Tangyue’s eyes glittered.

If they were feeding the Stinky Mayflies with the seaweed, it was not going to pollute the ocean. It might be the perfect solution if they could actually drug the Manta Ray Evil Birds as Lingling had suggested.

“Lingling, are you sure the Manta Ray Evil Birds will be paralyzed after eating the seaweed? I heard that some mature demon creatures have a certain resistance toward poison and paralyzing effects,” Jiang Shaoxu spoke up.

“Creatures with an outstanding pace of growth and reproduction are different, because they are able to intake nutrients quicker than other species. However, it also means they aren’t good at filtering out harmful substances. They can’t even filter out the substances that we humans normally filter out, let alone harmful ones. They just absorb everything into their bodies and use them as nutrients to strengthen their muscles and bones. Therefore, these creatures usually had a significantly shorter life span than other species,” Lingling explained.

All creatures had to obey the laws of nature. The Manta Ray Evil Birds were not a natural breed. There were genetically flawed creatures, so they had certain shortcomings. They might be able to deal a lot of damage in a short period of time, but they could go extinct in a short period too!
