Fenna was a general. She could at most ask a familiar veteran to help Mofan and the others look for the young Medusa. It was unlikely that she would send too many people, since Cairo was still at war. She did not have that many people on her side.
Heidi was planning to wait for Brianca's return. That way, they would have some insurance when they entered the snake den. Even if they stumbled into an adult Medusa, Brianca should be able to handle it.
Unfortunately, Brianca did not reply after she left. She only told them that she would only be back in Cairo in a week's time. The Curse would surely spread again in a week's time. By then, Brianca would only be here to collect their corpses.
"It seems like we have no choice but to rely on ourselves," Mofan said helplessly.
"It's true that we can't rely on others at a time like this. Besides, no one is willing to die with us," Zhao Manyan said.
The people of the European University Institute struggled internally, but they still insisted on going to the snake den to look for the young Medusa. Otherwise, they would not be able to survive if the Curse continued to torment them.
Luckily, their leader was an intern teacher. It meant that he had at least one Element in the Super Level.
An intern teacher who was able to guide the outstanding graduates of the European University Institute was most likely a Super Mage. After all, most of the students of the European University Institute had already maxed out their Advanced Magic. They would not be any weaker than the people of the European University Institute. They might be able to come in handy when the time came.
As a matter of fact, most Mages had to form a team when they were out in the wild. Different Elements could play a decisive role in a team's success. It was not a bad idea to drag the people of the European University Institute down with them when they set off to search for the young Medusa.
However, the people of the European University Institute were still holding a strong grudge. They were only here to take the test, yet they ended up risking their lives because of the goddamned Curse of the Medusae. A mission like looking for the young Medusa in the snake den was no different from committing suicide!
…
The group bought some supplies in Cairo. Since they were going to face the Medusae and Scorpions, antidotes were a must.
Antidotes were not universal. Normally, they only referred to the ingredients needed to cure the poison. The truly terrifying poison had many variations. It was only possible to make an effective antidote based on the situation and the ingredients needed to cure the poison.
"Is there only one Herbalist on our team?" Zhao Manyan asked around and realized that no one in the European University Institute knew how to make the potions!
If one didn't know how to concoct medicine, it would be equivalent to being poisoned, suffering from internal injuries, or being stained with corrosive saliva. Their lives would be in danger!
"We don't have a Healer, and we don't have a Herbalist. If we go to the most poisonous place in the world, I think we should just wait for our deaths in Cairo," Zhao Manyan grumbled.
"I guess I'm one of them," Mu Bai spoke up.
"F * ck, what's the use of a half-baked pharmacist like you?" Zhao Manyan said.
"It's still better than a piece of trash like you who only knows how to shout!" Mubai retorted.
"I'm a Plant Magician, but I don't know how to make medicine," Sofia said.
"That's why we have to prepare all the necessary antidotes. Don't worry, I'm quite familiar with poison. As long as it's not something like the Curse of the Snake Eyes, I know what to use to cure the poison, but I'm not really good at making medicine …" Chad said.
Mubai was not a half-baked pharmacist, either. He was an Advanced Pharmacist that was certified by the Hunter Association and the Magic Association. However, the aphrodisiac he concocted was an accident …
…
While the group was preparing, Mofan noticed that he was not far away from the Hunter Union's main hall, so he decided to take a stroll there.
The title of a Hunter Master was used internationally, so Mofan was treated with respect and great service by the Hunter Union in Cairo.
As a matter of fact, the information from the government was not as fast as the information from the Hunters. If there was a downside to the information from the Hunters, it was that it was difficult to tell the truth from the lies.
"Tear of the Medusa, is anyone offering a reward for it?" Mofan asked the Hunter Mistress who had tagged along.
The Hunter Mistress remained smiling. She placed a cup of water in front of Mofan and said, "Are you interested in joining the reward pool, too?"
"Reward pool?" Mofan was surprised.
"Didn't you know? The Tear of the Medusa is the reward pool with the highest reward pool in the Hunter Union!" the Hunter Mistress said.
The reward pool was a kind of collective reward pool. It was extremely difficult to complete a quest, and not many people were able to complete it. At the same time, the demand for the reward pool was extremely high, thus the reward pool was established.
There were many people who put up bounties. They threw their bounties into the bounty pool. As the bounties continued to stack, there would eventually be strong people who would take action. Even some governments would personally send strong people to complete the bounty in order to recoup this large sum of money.
Mofan and Ling Ling had completed the Drowning Curse's reward pool. They had earned a huge sum of money, and their Hunter Level had risen from a few stars to six stars!
A six-star Hunter Master was quite reputable. If Mofan was tired of fighting and killing one day, he could simply use his identity as a six-star Hunter Master to secure an important position in a major city in any country!
It had been a while since Mofan and Ling Ling had received a huge reward for the Tear of the Medusa after they solved the Drowning Curse's reward pool. They had initially planned to post a reward to see if they could solve the problem with money. To their surprise, they had underestimated the value of the Tear of the Medusa. There was already a reward pool for the Tear of the Medusa in Egypt!
"How much is the reward pool now?" Mofan asked.
"Around three and a half billion," the Hunter Mistress said.
"Three … three and a half billion, isn't that the highest reward in Cairo?" Mofan was shocked.
The reward for the Drowning Curse was only around three and a half billion, but the reward for the Tear of the Medusa was now three and a half billion!
Mofan subconsciously swallowed his saliva!
The reward represented the difficulty of the quest. Otherwise, how could the reward pool keep accumulating?
"Mm, it's considered an S-rank quest. The reward pool has been increasing in recent years, partly because the big female Medusa now has the Eyes of Vengeance. Many Mages are suffering from the Medusa's Curse. On the other hand, the Tear of the Medusa can grant immunity to Petrification, reduce freezing, and strengthen the mind. Many Mages are very fond of it, and are willing to pay a lot of money for it … I believe some Senior Hunters are interested in it, "the Hunter Mistress told Mofan everything she knew.
Mofan was shocked. He did not expect the Tear of the Medusa to be so valuable and powerful!
Immune to Petrification!
Didn't that mean the Advanced Earth Element's Eyes of the Rock Demon, Petrification was useless? Many Earth Mages relied on the Petrification Spell to survive!
Not only was the Tear of the Medusa immune to Petrification, it could also freeze the target. It was the nemesis of Ice Mages!
