Despite being unwilling, the people of the Donghai Magic Association still set out for the Wuyuan Bay after taking a quick rest.

When they arrived at Wuyuan Bay, Mo Fan studied the estuary and confirmed that it was connected to the strait, just as Lingling had mentioned. Most importantly, the strait was extremely close to the open waters. Some bays did not necessarily face the sea. Many bays had lands and cities on the opposite side. Even though opposite Wuyuan Bay was the Xiang’an District, a landed area, the vast ocean was to the east of the bay, the same direction the fierce storm was approaching from.

The storm at Wuyuan Bay was even stronger. The trees and street lamps had all been knocked to the ground. The vegetation, wetlands, and bridges had been devoured by the rolling waves too. As they looked further into the distance, they saw several waterspouts spinning on the ocean. They were like gray-white serpents that seemed to be protecting something.

“Lingling, I think you’re right; this place is too dangerous!” Mo Fan felt uneasy when he saw the waterspouts outside the bay.

“It looks like we came just in time!” Lingling glanced at the strait between the bay and the sea.

Zhang Lulin and Zhang Xin were with Mo Fan. They were carefully treating Mo Fan as their senior now and being very respectful around him.

Zhang Xin was a shameless middle-aged Mage. He asked with a puzzled look, “I don’t see anything. Why does senior say this place is very dangerous?”

“Yeah, I don’t see any movement of sea monsters apart from the storm. It looks pretty normal to me,” Zhang Lulin agreed.

“I bet you two rarely hunt demon creatures in the wild. You don’t have to see demon creatures to tell they are about to attack… Have you heard of something called Auras? They aren’t necessarily a smell or a wind. They are a unique presence of the demon creatures, which might be mixed with their smell and breath. It can send chills down a person’s spine… Have you ever experienced the fear of the bugs suddenly falling silent when you’re in a jungle?” Mo Fan explained from where he was standing in front of the bay.

“Yeah, of course, senior, I understand what you’re saying. It’s an Aura only high-level demon creatures possess, a naturally intimidating Aura that will make their prey panic,” Zhang Xin nodded. Mo Fan had explained it clearly!

“So you’re saying you’ve picked up the Auras of high-level creatures from the Wuyuan Bay?” Zhang Lulin asked seriously.

“No, there’s no Aura here,” Mo Fan said.

“…” Zhang Lulin and Zhang Xin were left speechless. What exactly was the senior trying to tell them?

“So if there’s no Aura, it means the place is safe?” Shen Qing asked.

“No, it’s not safe at all!” Mo Fan immediately shook his head.

“…Senior, please be more straightforward,” Zhang Lulin said impatiently.
