“The Sea Skeleton King is severely injured. Our experts believe it only has a fifth of its strength left. We should be able to kill it if we work together,” Mo Fan told them.

“Even if that’s the case… forget it, it’s an order from our country. We just have to obey it,” Mu Bai sighed.

The others knew what Mu Bai was trying to say.

It was not like the Magic City did not have any powerful Mages left to go after the Sea Skeleton King. The city still had strong Mages after losing the three Top Seaters, but they were all wary of the Emperor behind the Sea Skeleton King.

“As a matter of fact, I don’t think the Emperor is going to show up if we go after the Sea Skeleton King, considering our number and strength,” a voice added in.

The group turned around and saw Lingling, Jiang Shaoxu, and Apas.

“In simpler words, the Emperor will not risk exposing itself to a potential trap just to take out little shrimps like us,” Lingling added.

“Lingling, do you know the rule that says vehicles must give way to pedestrians? Even though there’s a rule like that, sometimes, the pedestrians should give way to the vehicles too, because you never know what the drivers are thinking. What if they just ran you over? You can’t risk your life just to challenge their ethics. Similarly, we don’t know whether the Emperor is a reckless maniac. What if it did show up? We will end up as bait and cannon fodder. None of us is going to survive!” Zhao Manyan complained.

“Zhao Manyan is right, too,” Jiang Shaoxu nodded.

“Yeah, he can be quite convincing when his life is at stake, but it won’t change anything. I’ve already asked General Dong. The Sea Skeleton King has yet to escape to the deep sea. It’s currently resting on Mist Island around fifty kilometers from here. Its injuries must be very serious since it did not dare enter other sea monsters’ territory. We must go after it at once, before it recovers from the injuries,” Mo Fan said.

“What about those people who were with you?” Mu Ningxue asked.

“They are just going to provide us with assistance. We will have to do the mission ourselves,” Mo Fan replied.

Mo Fan purposely called Mu Ningxue here because he was unable to fight with his full strength when he was away from land. Mu Ningxue’s fighting capacity was on par with his. It would increase the odds of them accomplishing the mission!

Everyone in the group often went on adventures. They had everything they needed in their Space Bracelets at all times.

They were now waiting for General Dong to provide them with the route they should take.

The sea monsters from the Pacific Ocean had taken over the East China Sea. Not only were they invading the humans’ territory, they were wiping out the native species in the East China Sea. They had occupied the islands, coral reefs, and caves.

As a result, the group needed a safe route to bypass the sea monsters and reach Mist Island. Otherwise, the sea monsters were going to wear them out before they even found the Sea Skeleton King.

“General Dong, haven’t your men finished surveying the routes?” Mo Fan was starting to feel impatient.
