Senior Brother Zhang and Shen Qing came over to Mo Fan. Lingling happened to be arriving on the Flying Creek Snow Wolf from another direction. They gave the Donghai Mages and the Intermediate Mages a huge fright.

“It’s fine, that’s my Summoned Beast!” Mo Fan told them.

Shen Qing’s cultivation was not particularly high. She could not tell how strong the Flying Creek Snow Wolf was, but Senior Brother Zhang and the three Donghai Mages were experienced enough to notice that the Flying Creek Snow Wolf was most likely a lot stronger than the Scarlet Rending Demon!

“What creature was it?” Lingling asked when she saw the corpse burned beyond recognition on the ground.

“A Scarlet Rending Demon, a Commander of the Scarlet Soaring Demons. They are an amphibian species that can fight both on the ground and in the water…” Mo Fan explained.

Mo Fan was quite familiar with the Scarlet Soaring Demons.

“A Great Commander-level creature?” Lingling said.

“Yes.”

“Why did it take you so long, then?” Lingling asked with a puzzled face.

“I used the wrong spell at the start.”

Senior Brother Zhang and the three Donghai Mages had an urge to die after hearing Lingling’s question!

“I just came from the Wuyuan Bay. A lot of sea monsters are entering the island from the estuary there. They must be the Scarlet Soaring Demons. They are hiding in the water without revealing themselves. I believe they only sent the stronger members of their tribe to scout the area,” Lingling said.

“The Wuyuan Bay?” Mo Fan gave Shen Qing a puzzled look.

“It’s a bay connected to the sea. The sea monsters can easily enter the city from there,” Shen Qing explained.

“Aren’t there people watching it?” Senior Brother Zhang asked.

“We are currently short on men since more sea monsters have invaded the city, but the sea monsters are used to moving around in seawater. They feel more comfortable in areas that are submerged, and they aren’t able to fully utilize their strength in crowded areas. I just checked the map. There are some hills around the island which serve as a natural barrier to stop the sea monsters from invading the busier areas, but the Wuyuan Bay is different! The sea monsters can first hide in the water and swim into the bay before sneaking into the city…” Lingling said.

“You’re saying that if a lot of sea monsters are invading the city, they will choose to invade through the Wuyuan Bay?” Shen Qing asked after realizing what Lingling was hinting at.

“Exactly! There must be a reason the Commander-level Scarlet Rending Demon has shown up here. Didn’t you wonder how the creature snuck into the reservoir? This place is meant to be an enclosed lake surrounded by the buildings, roads, and mountains. It couldn’t possibly travel a few kilometers here even if it was amphibious, so it’s very likely that the creature swam to Wuyuan Bay first, before sneaking its way in here! The sea monsters are afraid of being stranded. Shallow waters, to them, are like places with insufficient oxygen to us. They won’t have the guts to invade the city from all directions unless the whole island has sunk or is submerged below thirty meters,” Lingling declared.
