Chapter 125 Let's have a big one.
A sudden sea breeze swept in, and ashes flew up, brushing against the somber faces of the crowd.
"It seems they're still hiding something from us," Jiang Yu said in a deep voice.
No one would be in a good mood after something like this happened.
"Jiang Yu, Mu Tingying, you two go back to Feiniao City and investigate which places have been attacked by sea monsters in the past few days, especially check if any children have gone missing," Ai Jiangtu said.
"Aren't we going to exterminate demons? We just need to kill them." Mu Tingying was a little unhappy.
"Do you really think our mentor just casually dumped us in this fishing village?" Ai Jiangtu asked rhetorically.
Mu Tingying opened her mouth, wanting to refute, but didn't know what to say.
However, Ai Jiangtu's rhetorical question immediately enlightened everyone.
"You mean this is a challenging problem that our mentor has set for us to overcome?" Mu Nujiao asked.
"Given how cunning those mentors are, they must know something, which is why they placed us here. After all, this place is close to the sea, and we need to take a boat, so we're bound to encounter some strange events along the way," Lu Jie analyzed.
"Old Lu is right." Mo Fan nodded in agreement.
"A test for us?" Nan Jue frowned.
"Whether it's a test or not, we must get to the bottom of this. If it were a mage or a fisherman who went out to sea, that wouldn't be surprising. But if it were a toddler like this..."
As he spoke, Ai Jiangtu's words became increasingly angry.
How could a child that young, barely able to walk, possibly have come to this place outside Anjie, a place teeming with demons? If demons were to invade the city, the local military and government would surely react.
Despite the rampant demons, the military and government of Asuka City remained completely silent.
No wonder a coastal city is so desolate, no wonder the security perimeter is getting smaller and smaller. The dignity of the city has been lost to this extent. What difference is there between this and the livestock kept by sirens!
"Captain, don't worry, there's nothing I can hide from you. I'll be back soon and give you everything you want to know!" Jiang Yu said solemnly.
"Give me a list of information on the military personnel stationed in Asuka City," Ai Jiangtu said.
"no problem."
Jiang Yu and Mu Tingying returned to Feibiao City, and the rest of the people naturally went to wipe out the damned Crimson Ling Demon Clan.
Seeing the somber expressions on everyone's faces, Zu Jiming asked, "What do we do now?"
"What do you suggest we do? Of course, we'll charge in!" Mo Fan sneered.
"Who in the team is a mind mage?" Lu Jie asked.
Those who knew Lu Jie glanced at him discreetly, thinking, "Aren't you Lu Jie?"
However, they didn't say it out loud, since it was his trump card and it wouldn't be good to reveal it.
"That's me," Jiang Shaoxu said.
"Tell this little bastard that we're going to wipe out their entire clan in a bit, leaving no one alive," Lu Jie said.
The little red demon cried out in panic, clearly seeing how angry these humans were.
"I'm not sure if it can understand." Jiang Shaoxu used mind magic to transmit Lu Jie's words to the little Crimson Demon, and also placed a mind mark on it.
Lu Jie then kicked it away, sending the little red demon flying over a hundred meters before landing upside down in the sea.
"Your words and that kick were quite powerful," Jiang Shaoxu said in surprise.
With a human body, he kicked the slave-level Crimson Demon hundreds of meters away.
Although you are a high-level mage, your physique is far too abnormal.
Nan Jue nodded, indicating that she agreed with what Jiang Shaoxu said.
Upon hearing this, Mu Nujiao stood in front of Lu Jie as if asserting her dominance.
Jiang Shaoxu simply smiled when he saw this.
The group continued on the ship and followed quietly.
At this moment, Mu Ningxue spoke up, which was rare for her: "These Crimson Ling Demons are amphibious, but they mostly build their nests on relatively humid islands, so there's no need to worry about them being unable to operate freely in underwater caves."
"Have you ever seen this kind of creature?" Ai Jiangtu asked.
"I've read about them in books; they belong to a relatively ancient species. It's worth mentioning that they are quite strong in underwater combat," Mu Ningxue said.
…………
A few white clouds drifted slowly across the blue sky.
Several islands dot the azure ocean, standing silently in this sea area for who knows how many years.
Each island is not very big, smaller than the small island where everyone was before.
Seeing such a small island, everyone's hearts sank.
If it were a large island, they could fight more freely, but on such a small island, once a battle breaks out, the Crimson Demons will quickly retreat back into the sea. At that time, they will unleash demonic techniques several times stronger than those on land, making the battle much more difficult.
"I've investigated. There are four broken islands in total. There's one in the middle, and the other three form an irregular triangle that surrounds the middle one. The three outer islands are inhabited by sea monkey monsters, and the one in the middle is the Crimson Ling Demon." Guan Yu returned to the ship and told everyone the information he had gathered.
"How could there be a sea monkey monster?" Nan Jue asked, puzzled.
"Sea monkeys are the most spineless race in the ocean. You can see these vassal servants in almost every powerful demon clan or tribe. They are of average combat strength, but they are very good at finding food, stealing, and escaping. They are extremely servile, so this race is the most common in the ocean," said Nan Rongni from the Ocean Academy.
Because she came from the Sea Academy, she knew quite a bit about the sea monkey monster, so she shared what she knew.
"Are there many sea monkey monsters?" Ai Jiangtu asked.
"There are probably two to three thousand sea monkey monsters, not many, but they are very troublesome to deal with," Guan Yu said.
"What about the Crimson Demon?"
"I can't give you a good estimate. The Crimson Demons have stronger senses than the Sea Monkeys, so I don't dare to go deep into their territory. But I estimate there must be between one hundred and two hundred of them."
"No wonder they say that there is a clan of sirens. If there are more than a hundred Crimson Demons, their fighting power is no less than that of a small clan," Nan Jue said.
"If the Crimson Demons are as strong as those on the island, wiping them out shouldn't be a problem. The real concern is in the sea. If they grow stronger, we'll be constrained, and the balance of power will shift, putting us at a disadvantage..." Ai Jiangtu said.
"If the distance between these islands isn't too great, I can freeze them all," Mu Ningxue said.
"Freeze them all? Do you need any other ice mages to assist you?" Ai Jiangtu asked.
There are three ice mages in the team. Besides Mu Tingying, who returned to Feibiao City, Mu Ningxue specializes in ice magic, and Mu Nujiao's high-level third elemental awakening is ice magic. Although she is not strong, she can still provide support for Mu Ningxue.
"How about I just give them a big one?" Lu Jie suggested.
"No, Lao Lu, you're making too much noise. If you scare them all away, it'll be a loss," Mo Fan stopped him.
Of course, he also had his own selfish motives. His first wife had been relegated to a substitute role, so he had to make sure she performed well so that she wouldn't be kicked out later.
Lu Jie understood Mo Fan's intentions perfectly well. "Fine, fine, you value romance over friendship, huh? Just you wait, I'll go to the kitchen and get you some money."
