It took a long time for the glacier to regain control of the place. The ice gradually disintegrated into the ocean, allowing the endless snow-white sea to return to its azure blue color!
Mo Fan and Mu Ningxue stood on the reef. Both Mo Fan's Ultimate Lightning Summoning and Mu Ningxue's Ice Crystal Bow had worn them out.
If they were to fight the Black Sea Drake normally, they would have to fight for a very long time before they had the slightest chance of winning the battle. Besides, the creature would easily escape from them.
Either way, Mo Fan was well aware of the importance of strength. Without enough strength, it was hard to say when he would die, especially when he was a busybody with a sense of justice …
After resting for some time, Mo Fan and Mu Ningxue finally recovered a little.
Unfortunately, the boat was gone. They had no choice but to return on foot. They were still quite a distance away from the city. They had no idea how long it would take them to reach the city.
The only thing worth celebrating was that they had acquired the vaccine for the Maggot Drake. The terrifying Drowning Curse should be resolved to a certain extent after they returned to Tinuoaya City.
"I don't think anyone else is going to die from the Drowning Curse again, right?" Bobby asked.
Ling Ling shook her head and said seriously, "Every living creature is evolving. Even though we've acquired the vaccine for the maggots, which can prevent humans from being captured by the invisible parasites, the maggots are still living in the ocean. They haven't been wiped out yet. They can choose not to infect humans, but demon creatures instead … it's hard to tell how many powerful demon creatures are actually maggots like the Black Sea Drake. Maybe one day, another kind of demon creature that's even scarier will appear among the maggots, and it's able to bypass the vaccine we've found."
Mo Fan fell into deep thought after hearing Ling Ling's words.
From the perspective of a single life form, most life forms, including humans, were gradually growing stronger.
From the perspective of time and the history of a species, life forms were constantly evolving.
Demon creatures were urging humans to unite and grow stronger, while humans kept killing demon creatures to suppress their numbers. In other words, it was impossible for humans or demon creatures to go extinct in this world. The ones that went extinct were the species that could no longer adapt to the environment, and ended up as a page of history.
Many years ago, humans were nothing more than livestock in the eyes of the powerful demon creatures. They could be slaughtered and eaten as they pleased. Due to the continuous development of their species, they had developed magical technology, cities, and Mages, allowing humans to compete with the demon creatures. However, if humans stopped developing, they would eventually be replaced by terrifying little demons like maggots one day. They might even be wiped out by the powerful demon creatures!
Although Lingling's father only insisted on the sacred duty of being a hunter, it was also a form of advancement. Those who took a step forward would indeed die, but at the very least, it would allow the race to continue and become stronger!
If no one in this world stood up and insisted on their duty and mission, then the humans and human Mages might become history, easily flipped over by another civilization like a page in a book.
It was impossible to eliminate the species of maggots, and the vaccine Ling Ling had obtained was only enough to prevent the humans from being harmed by the Drowning Curse for a period of time.
That was all they could do. Hopefully, there would still be Hunters like Ling Ling, who were influenced by her father's thoughts, who would step forward with an unwavering determination when the same threat appeared in the future!
Either way, Mo Fan did not want to be that kind of person. He was more concerned about the Drowning Curse's bounty increasing by a few dozen million …
…
He left the matter of the vaccine to Ling Ling. Not long after, Mo Fan received a message from the Hunter Union, telling him that his Hunter rank had been upgraded once again. He could now receive more privileges and information from the Hunter Union.
Not long after, Mo Fan saw some headlines on the news. It was about the Drowning Curse's vaccine.
"Clearsky Hunter Agency Has Solved a Worldwide Plague Curse, Awarded a Huge Reward!"
Ling Ling put the Clearsky Hunter Agency's name on the Clearsky Hunter Agency to keep a low profile, mainly because she was worried that it would cause more trouble if she revealed her age.
Just think about it. Those old Hunter Masters in their fifties and sixties were analyzing the Drowning Curse, only to discover that the Drowning Curse had been resolved by a teenage girl and a young man in their twenties. How could they possibly show their faces in public?
The Clearsky Hunter Agency was quite reputable in the country, so it was not a problem to put the Clearsky Hunter Agency under their name.
As for the bounty, the little girl Ling Ling had no use for it. Even though Mo Fan was in charge of the bounty, most of it was spent by Mo Fan.
As a man with Double Innate Elements, he would need to spend a lot more money in order to improve his Elements. Luckily, his Hunter rank was able to give Mo Fan some extra income!
…
…
"Mo Fan, don't tell me you were away to solve the Drowning Curse?" Zhao Manyan went up to Qin Nan and asked sternly.
"You're pretty well-informed," Mo Fan raised his brows.
Zhao Manyan already knew it was Mo Fan who was responsible for the Drowning Curse when the media had just started to spread the news. He was quite capable.
"Bullshit, the only ones working in the Clearsky Hunter Agency are you and Ling Ling. Who else could it be!?" Zhao Manyan said.
"Ugh … I think you're right," Mo Fan said.
It was true that the Clearsky Hunter Agency had been around for a long time, but the truth was, Mo Fan and Ling Ling were the only ones who were willing to take on missions. The rest of the Hunters were all old foxes. They were extremely picky when it came to missions. They would not take on missions that were too easy, those with too little money, and those that were too far away …
That being said, there were not many people in the Clearsky Hunter Agency. The Great Senior Sister Leng Qing was the Vice Elder of the Magic Court. The Old Man Bao was the old Senior Hunter, but Mo Fan had never seen him take on a mission. The bald man was a Hunter Master, but he rarely returned to his nest. There was also a Great Senior Brother that Mo Fan had never seen before. He did not even know his name.
As such, as Zhao Manyan had mentioned, the only ones working in the Clearsky Hunter Agency were Mo Fan and Ling Ling!
"Even I'm jealous of the bounty!" Zhao Manyan said.
Zhao Manyan's family might be rich, but it was not like his mother could make money out of thin air. If he were to ask his family to fork out three hundred million, the older generation would most likely throw him into the Huangpu River and drown him!
"I need a lot of money. I won't be able to survive if I don't rely on my skills." Mo Fan was holding a fiery-red crystal in his hand and feeding it to Little Flame Belle, who was on his shoulder.
Little Flame Belle smacked her lips. She was having a great time eating the crystal. Her chubby face was brimming with happiness.
Little Flame Belle was happy, but Mo Fan was feeling the pinch. He glanced at Zhao Manyan, implying, "Look, the price of milk powder is easily over ten million!"
"Your daughter, it's time for you to pay for raising her!" Zhao Manyan said.
Anyone would be jealous of the strength that Little Flame Belle had displayed during the match at New York's Training Hall. If he could have such a powerful Contracted Beast, Zhao Manyan would be willing to spend any amount of money!
"Our next stop is an international marketplace. You have quite a lot of money on hand. Are you interested in taking a look?" Zhao Manyan suggested.
It was difficult to keep a Magician's money. Mo Fan did not have the habit of saving money, either. The money that he had earned was not money. Only when he spent it and turned it into his own strength would it be considered money!
"Is there a Soul-grade Seed for sale?" Mo Fan asked.
"Of course, but do you have enough money?" Zhao Manyan said.
"I've sold the resources allocated to me by the national team. I have around one hundred and fifty million. Together with the three hundred and fifty million, I have five hundred million in total. I don't think it's enough to buy a Soul-grade Seed, right? If not, I'll sell the Magic Control Ring you gave me last time. It should be enough to buy a Soul-grade Seed, right? "Mo Fan said.
"I think you shouldn't sell the Magic Control Device. You have so many Elements. It's too much time for you to practice it. We'll go there and take a look. If it's not enough, we'll think of a way to get more. The money is enough to buy a normal Soul-grade Seed, but if you want to buy a Soul-grade Seed with a Domain … it's going to be difficult, "Zhao Manyan said.
The reward was now in their hands. Mu Ningxue knew that Mo Fan desperately needed a Soul-grade Seed to improve his strength. She had given all the money to Mo Fan.
Mo Fan was a little embarrassed. After all, Mu Ningxue was the one that had killed the Black Sea Drake with her powerful arrow. Mu Ningxue was a lot more open-minded about it. She told Mo Fan that he would give her the money if he needed it the next time.
Mo Fan thought about it carefully. That was indeed the case.
If they were to split the reward equally, he would only take one hundred and seventy-five million. Even with the money allocated to him by the national team, he still would not be able to buy a good Soul-grade Seed.
Mu Ningxue was already in the Advanced Level. She had been accumulating a lot of resources lately. She did not need to spend a lot of money for the time being. She decided to give the money to Mo Fan first so that Mo Fan could improve his strength. That way, it would be easier for them to deal with similar missions in the future!
Besides, there was no need to be so calculative between a husband and wife. Whoever needed the money could use it. Why would they worry about not having a chance to return the money?
"Zhao Manyan, tell me the price range of a Soul-grade Seed. I'll have a rough idea," Mo Fan said.
