Chapter 2509 - Strange Mist (2/2)

“Even if the mission has a low chance of success, we can’t let you guys die for nothing! We must figure out the best route!” General Dong shot back.

“From what we know, the Sea Skeleton King is able to heal itself with seawater. Even if it’s severely injured, it only needs ten days to fully recover!” Lingling had analyzed the recent battle thoroughly.

“Damn it, every day we waste is letting it recover ten percent of its strength!” Zhao Manyan whined.

Mo Fan nodded. They could not drag it on any longer. The earlier they moved out, the greater their chance!

“General Dong, where are your men now? We’ll continue from there. We can’t wait any longer!” Mo Fan said.

“Our target is the Sea Skeleton King, one of the strongest Ruler-level creatures. How can we afford to be so reckless?” General Dong protested.

“Chairman Shao Zheng has ordered you to support us, not order us around. Enough with your conservative ways. I have my own standards!” Mo Fan snapped back.

General Dong’s face darkened. He wanted to say something, but Zhang Xiaohou came up to him and pulled him aside.

“General Dong, trust us. Besides, he did catch a Red Cardinal alive,” Zhang Xiaohou told him softly.

The group set out without wasting any more time.

The sea monsters who claimed to be the Ancient Sea Gods did have some extraordinary capabilities.

They had surrounded the waters they were controlling with a strange mist. It looked like thick clouds hovering above the water. Not only would people lose their sense of direction when traveling on the surface, the creatures in the sky were struggling to tell what direction it was, too!

They either had to go into the mist or fly above it at a great height. Traveling into the mist was like trying to find the way out from the center of a maze. There were no points of reference available.

“The sea monsters are so annoying. We just got ourselves a Flying Dragon that can travel to all places and fly over other demon creatures’ territory, but we have to probe the way carefully because of this mist,” Zhao Manyan grumbled.

They had to enter the mist and follow the markings along the way to find the Mist Island’s exact location. The military only knew the island was somewhere inside the maze.

“I already told you we would be wasting more time if we didn’t figure out the route first!” General Dong commented.

The strange thing was, the mist was no longer that thick after they went inside. They could even see the blue sea and the clear sky in the distance, even though there was white gas floating above the sea occasionally. It did not look like a maze.

However, they began to fly in circles halfway into the maze.

General Dong had only discovered the route up until a certain point. The sea ahead was like a calm lake. There were no signs of reefs, sunlight, and currents that would help them identify directions. They had no idea where to look for Mist Island.

“Someone is floating over there,” Apas pointed into the distance.

Everyone was puzzled. They did discover a man floating on the calm sea after going closer. They were confused. How did Apas see him from so far away?

Why would a man be floating on the water here? Was he involved in a misfortune while he was searching for the island?.
