…
Mofan and the others were waiting for news at the edge of the cliff. Little did they know, Ling Ling and Jiang Shaoxu had brought the old soldier to them.
"If you really want to go to the island, bring me along," the old soldier said to Tangyue.
"Are you familiar with the situation on the island?" Tangyue asked.
"Twenty years ago, I was the captain of the guards there … my name is Chen Shuo," the old soldier said.
Tangyue recalled that there was indeed a Mage called Chen Shuo on the list. He was in charge of the safety of the Featherless Bird Domestication Base. Tangyue initially thought the higher-ups of the base had long fled for their lives, but to her surprise, one of them had been guarding the tower for almost ten years.
"It's great that we have an experienced driver leading the way. Otherwise, we'll be like headless flies when we go to the island," Mofan said.
"Uncle Chen Shuo just told us that the Featherless Birds can hibernate, but it's too warm here, so the temperature isn't high enough for them to hibernate," Ling Ling said.
"It's still too early to reach winter," Zhao Manyan said.
"If it's just lowering the temperature, I should be able to do it," Mubai said.
"How much should we lower the temperature?" Tangyue asked.
"Zero degrees. As long as the temperature is below zero degrees, the Featherless Birds below the Commander-level will fall into a deep sleep and hide in the deeper part of the sea. Within a five-kilometer radius of Dawn Island, there was a large group of Featherless Birds on guard. They would attack any living creature or human that approached Dawn Island. Even if an army came, they would lose a large number of people. If we lower the temperature to below zero degrees, the Featherless Birds will fall into a deep sleep, "the old soldier said.
"Are the Featherless Birds in the sea difficult to deal with?" Mofan asked.
"There are a lot of Featherless Birds. They have been trained by an intelligent Featherless Bird King to become a group of Featherless Birds. They are fearless and poisonous. They are the hardest to deal with," the old soldier said.
"Mofan, trust me, it's best to let those things fall into a deep sleep at the bottom of the sea," Zhao Manyan said.
Even the tortoiseshell Zhao Manyan was afraid of them, so Mofan naturally knew that they were difficult to deal with.
"That's settled then. Mubai will be in charge of the weather and will suppress the temperature to zero. The rest of us will enter the island by boat," Mofan said.
"You have to kill those Greater Featherless Birds. Otherwise, in a few years, a bunch of Death Featherless Birds will occupy the nearby islands. Once the Greater Featherless Birds are dead, the Death Featherless Birds will be scattered like sand," the old soldier said.
"Greater Breeding Bird … this thing was also raised by you back then, right?" Tang Yue asked.
"Yes, only we know how terrifying they are." Chen Shuo nodded.
…
The plan was simple and straightforward. Around two or three o 'clock at night, when the night was the coldest, Mubai would be responsible for lowering the temperature of the area. In less than an hour, the featherless birds guarding the ocean would fall asleep.
The level of the Featherless Birds on the island was much higher. It was unlikely that they would fall asleep too. Therefore, they had to move forward cautiously to find the nests of the Greater Featherless Birds and the Greater Featherless Bird King.
"This dungeon isn't going to be easy." Zhao Manyan let out a sigh. He added, "If Mubai doesn't control the temperature well, we're going to end up in someone else's' Are you hungry? 'delivery is almost here."
"You have to leave around five o 'clock," Mubai said.
The group was currently on a boat heading toward Dawn Island. The boat was not very big. It was made of metal on the outside. If there was something underwater, it could easily break in half.
Mofan did not feel safe on a small boat like this.
"Why five o 'clock? Are they going to wake up on time?" Zhao Manyan asked in confusion.
"The sun rises early here. There will be light on the horizon after five o 'clock. I can only maintain the temperature at around zero degrees Celsius at most, but once the sun shines down, the temperature around Dawn Island will surely rise. The Featherless Birds sleeping at the bottom of the ocean will wake up," Mubai said.
"That's true. Don't underestimate the heat of the sun," Chen Shuo nodded.
"You piece of shit, you can't even keep the temperature at zero degrees Celsius," Zhao Manyan cursed.
"Can't you see how big the area is?"
Dawn Island was close to ten kilometers wide, including the water nearby. If Mubai had not achieved the Super Level, he would not have been able to lower the temperature within ten kilometers so easily.
…
Mubai began to cast his magic as they approached Dawn Island.
The temperature dropped rapidly on the same boat as him. Frost began to form on the surface of the ocean.
Plum blossom snowflakes drifted in the air under Mu Bai's control. They slowly spread across a wide area like a cold breeze under his control.
As a matter of fact, it was extremely difficult to lower the temperature in the ocean. It was a lot harder than on land, since the water would constantly dilute the temperature.
On land, they only needed to lower the temperature of the air to lower the temperature. However, in the ocean, they had to lower the temperature of the water too. The ocean was huge, and it was constantly flowing. Without a strong enough cultivation, it was impossible to lower the temperature of Dawn Island and the water around it to zero degrees Celsius.
The ocean would not freeze at zero degrees Celsius. It would only have some frost on the surface. Mo Fan preferred to stay on the ocean with Mu Ningxue. Her Domain did not need to consume any energy. She could freeze the water under her feet and turn a part of it into land. Mo Fan would not have to be afraid of the creatures in the ocean.
"It's getting a little cold."
"They should be hibernating now. Let's wait for another ten minutes," Chen Shuo said.
The group calculated the time and waited for Chen Shuo to confirm that it was time to move forward. They set off for Dawn Island under the influence of a cold wave.
"This is where I was attacked last time," Zhao Manyan roughly estimated the distance.
"Let's go straight!" Chen Shuo said firmly.
Zhao Manyan continued to control the waves to increase the speed of the boat. Mu Bai's Ice Magic did not stop lowering the temperature of the boat. He had to follow the team closely to ensure the temperature of the boat's surroundings was at zero degrees, just so he could cover a wider area with his Ice Magic.
Mo Fan poked his head into the water, but he could not see anything in the darkness. He used his Dark Material to probe the water.
"They are down there, sleeping on the seabed," Mo Fan said softly.
There were a lot of them. Mo Fan used his Dark Material to scan the seabed. It felt like the Featherless Birds were some kind of plants growing on the seabed. When he recalled Zhao Manyan's description of the boomerangs flying in the air, Mo Fan felt a chill down his spine.
