Protect it until it grows up safely!
Mo Fan had the urge to kill himself by smashing his head against a metal basin!
What the heck? Was that even something a human should be doing?
Mu Ningxue stared at him with her beautiful eyes.
This task that Lingling had given him … Wasn't it a little too far-fetched?
"Not only are we not going to kill it, we are going to protect it like a nanny? Are you kidding me!?" Bobby almost dropped his jaw to the ground.
"Like I said, it's only possible to obtain the vaccine after they reach their full form. This maggot is the only one we have that we can track, and it's the only specimen we have. It's going to be very difficult to catch one like we did this time. We have no idea who is going to be afflicted by the Drowning Curse, nor can we detect the maggot on the person. The time of death is too sudden, too. We can't possibly keep watch at the beach twenty-four hours a day. Even if we can, these transparent creatures will disappear as soon as they come into contact with the water. We won't be able to control them like we did this time, "Ling Ling said sternly.
"Err … give us some time to digest the information. It's a little hard to accept," Mo Fan said.
The three exchanged glances with one another. It was not difficult for them to kill the demon beasts, slaughter the beasts, and track the target. However, it was too difficult for them to protect the transparent insect that melted as soon as it entered the sea, and to watch it grow up!
Only the heavens knew where this little devil would go in the ocean, or what kind of sea monsters it would encounter. Moreover, it had a body of glass. If he wasn't careful, this little devil would be slapped to death on the reef by a strong undercurrent. If he wasn't careful, it would end up in the stomach of some sea creature!
"I have a question, is this thing going to grow fast? What if it needs a few months, or even a few years to reach its full form? Does that mean we have to spend a lot of time protecting it?" Bobby asked.
"That won't be necessary. This thing has been brewing for a long time. It's pretty quick when it swims into the sea. According to my estimation, it will reach its full form in less than half a month if everything goes well. Mo Fan, Mu Ningxue, you will have to apply for leave from the national team. I hope you will do your best for the next half a month. I'm sure you know how difficult it is, but if we succeed, not only will we receive a huge reward and the attention of the International Hunter Union, we will also save more people that are going to die to the Drowning Curse in the future. I've done some research. The rate of the Drowning Curse is increasing. We have to get rid of these maggots that are able to survive in humans. It's almost impossible to eliminate them. The only solution is a vaccine, "Ling Ling said to the three of them seriously this time.
Mo Fan was well aware of how serious the situation was. He nodded and said, "We'll try our best to deal with it."
"Count me in, I'm the most familiar with the sea. I won't let the little demon that killed two of my brothers continue to spread like wildfire. I'll … ugh, anyway, I'll keep an eye on it!" Bobby said.
Bobby was in a difficult spot. He had the urge to stomp the creature to death, yet he ended up being the bodyguard of the person who had killed his brothers.
However, Bobby's rationality told him that the intelligent little girl was right. It was meaningless to stomp the Drowning Curse Maggot to death. They had to find a way to deal with the Drowning Curse.
He believed that his brother, Norco, would be relieved if he knew he was the one who found the solution to the Drowning Curse.
"It has already swum a kilometer away. We're still in the safe zone, so there shouldn't be any demon creatures around. We'll have to be on alert once we leave the safe zone," Ling Ling said.
"I'll go prepare a boat. Wait for me at the beach," Bobby said.
…
Not long after, the four boarded a boat and chased after the Drowning Curse Maggot in the direction Ling Ling had pointed out.
The Drowning Curse Maggot was not particularly fast. Their boat maintained a distance of five hundred meters from the creature. If it dove deeper into the sea, Bobby would follow it.
Bobby's primary Element was Water. He was just an ordinary Intermediate Water Magician. He did not even have a Soul Seed, but he was obviously very familiar with the water. He was the best choice to follow the Drowning Curse Maggot.
Mo Fan and Mu Ningxue were on standby on the boat. Mo Fan made use of his free time to call Zhao Manyan and ask him to tell the national team that he would be leaving the team for some time.
The national team was allowed to leave the team, but it meant they would not receive the resources they were supposed to.
Mo Fan pondered for a moment. The resources he had obtained from the national team in fifteen days were most likely equivalent to a Spirit-grade Seed. It was nowhere enough for Mo Fan. He might as well take a gamble on the Drowning Curse, and earn himself a reward of three hundred and fifty million!
"Hey, where did you two go? Aren't you going to deal with the skeleton?" Zhao Manyan asked.
"You might not believe me," Mo Fan said.
"Why wouldn't I believe you?" Zhao Manyan said.
"It's like this, we have to protect a killer maggot …" Mo Fan briefly explained the Drowning Curse to Zhao Manyan.
Zhao Manyan did not know much about the Drowning Curse. He only heard that Mo Fan was going to protect a maggot and watch it grow. His tone immediately changed. He lowered his voice and said, "Did something happen to your brain when you were beaten up by Philip?"
"Brain my ass, it's a waste of my time telling you! Anyway, Mu Ningxue and I will be away for half a month, "Mo Fan said.
"Do you two have to come up with such a ridiculous excuse that sounds like you're saving the world? Remember to take safety precautions, Mu Ningxue is going to shine in the Venice Waterside Competition. Don't kill her …" Zhao Manyan reminded kindly.
Mo Fan was left speechless.
"Mo Fan, stop chatting, something's wrong!" The screen of Ling Ling's tablet began to emit a red light. It seemed like the maggot was in danger!
"I can't use my fists and legs under the water," Mo Fan said helplessly.
"Quick, go down and take out its natural predator!" Ling Ling shoved Mo Fan into the water without hesitation.
Mo Fan dove into the water. He used the Space Element to create a barrier around him so he could breathe normally.
Mu Ningxue followed Mo Fan into the water. She was more familiar with the water than Mo Fan. Her alluring body swam skillfully in the water. Her slender legs created little waves. She would lift her hips and sway her waist from time to time. Mo Fan was having a hard time watching her!
