"It's a relief that he's still alive. General Dong, do you know him? Is he part of our operation?" Zhang Xiaohou asked.
Mubai was the only one who knew how to heal the man, but she was only able to heal him with the help of the strange insects.
Mubai woke the man up. The man had been soaking in the water for some time. His lips were so dry that they were about to split open. He kept asking for water.
"He's not one of us," General Dong said confidently.
"Brother, why are you floating on the sea?" Mofan went up and asked.
"Where am I? Have I reached the land? Have I reached the land?" The man asked nervously. His expression was strange. It was hard to tell what had happened to him.
"We're in the Eerie Mist. We're still far away from the land," Mofan said.
"Send me back, send me back, quick," the man said.
Mofan explained to the man that they would not return until they killed the Sea Emperor Skeleton. However, the man was not in a clear state of mind. He would occasionally let out strange cries of agony. It was impossible to communicate with him properly.
Mofan let out a sigh and glanced at Apas.
Apas nodded. She immediately knocked the man out with a single glance.
When the man stopped struggling, Apas placed her hand on the man's forehead.
"His mind is in a mess. I won't be able to retrieve much information from him …" Apas told Mofan.
"It's fine, if he's just a passerby, we can just throw him back into the sea," Mofan said.
Mu Ningxue glared at Mofan.
Mofan chuckled awkwardly.
…
"This way, he has the memory of the Eerie Mist Island," Apas suddenly pointed behind them.
"That's not the way back … no way, are we really that lost?"
The group started moving backward. A few minutes later, a black protrusion finally appeared in the calm sea.
It was an island!
Although it was a very small black island, it showed that they were not going in circles.
"HAHA, finally …" Zhao Manyan was about to burst out laughing, but when he recalled that the creature resting on the island was the Sea Emperor Skeleton, his face turned gloomy.
He didn't know what he was so happy about.
"Don't go there, I beg you, don't go there, you will die, I will die too!" The man suddenly screamed like a madman, he was a little deranged.
Apas raised her hand. Just as everyone thought she was going to hypnotize the man again, she delivered a heavy blow to the back of his head. The man's eyes rolled back, and he fainted on the spot.
"Can't you be a little gentler?" Mofan scolded.
"Save as much as you can," Apas replied.
The battle was about to begin. Apas did not want to waste her mental energy on hypnotizing someone, even though it would not take much of her energy.
…
They directly entered the island. They didn't have any special arrangements, so they just had to do it.
However, General Dong frowned. He stared at a pool of fresh blood on the island.
"Isn't … isn't that Mage Ge!?" General Dong exclaimed when he saw something.
The group went closer and saw a badge of the Pearl Tower among the bloody mess. It was the badge of a ruler!
"There's more here. It seems like they didn't manage to find the island, but they didn't manage to escape. They are all dead!" Ling Ling pointed at the corpses scattered around the island.
Most of the corpses were beyond recognition. Judging from their clothes, they were the people who were involved in the operation.
Some of them were Mage Ge's men, while the others were General Dong's men. They were the ones who provided the route.
In the end, they were all dead, and General Dong still thought they had failed to find the route.
"Impossible, that's impossible! The Sea King Skeleton is seriously injured. Even if they couldn't defeat it, they shouldn't have died. Why didn't they run away? Why?" General Dong struggled to accept the truth.
General Dong suddenly thought of a possibility.
Did the Emperor behind the scenes appear again and kill everyone who came here?
If that was the case, wouldn't they be dead by now?
"Brother Fan. It's right ahead! "Zhang Xiaohou had returned from further ahead.
He seemed to have finished exploring the island. He had locked onto the Sea King Skeleton's location.
"You guys stay here. The six of us will go. Apas, you stay here too," Mo Fan was worried that something might go wrong. He did not let Ling Ling and Jiang Shaoxu, who were relatively weak, get any closer.
Apas nodded.
As a matter of fact, it was meaningless for her to go. The Sea King Skeleton was most likely an Elemental Creature with the Undead Element. It was immune to any mental or spiritual attacks.
…
Zhang Xiaohou led the way in front. He was very professional in controlling the wind, forming a very stable wind screen, which concealed the auras of the five of them.
When they reached a higher point, an astonishing cliff appeared in front of them.
Seawater was pouring in from the bottom of the cliff. It was around a hundred meters tall.
The Sea King Skeleton was below the cliff too. It was sitting on the rising seawater. Even so, its head was almost at the same height as the cliff!
It was like an evil Buddha. It was not moving at all, yet it was still giving off a great pressure.
"It seems to be asleep, but it will wake up when we attack it. Look over there, "Zhang Xiaohou pointed down the cliff.
There was a short beach below the cliff. The beach was covered in black rocks.
He initially thought that the Sea Emperor Skeleton had brutally murdered everyone who approached the place, but to his surprise, the tiny figures beside the Sea Emperor Skeleton were actually human Mages.
"Why are those people casting spells on the Sea King Skeleton? Are they trying to hypnotize it? Is that why the Sea King Skeleton is sleeping so soundly?" Mo Fan asked in confusion.
"I feel like the light they are emitting is a Healing Spell," Mu Ningxue said.
"Yeah, they are casting Healing Spells. I sneaked closer and discovered that they are all Healers. They seem to be under someone's control. They keep casting Healing Spells on the Sea King Skeleton," Zhang Xiaohou nodded.
Mo Fan slapped Zhang Xiaohou on the head.
"Are you out of your mind? Why didn't you stop them? No wonder everyone is dead. The Sea King Skeleton has recovered more than ten percent of its strength! "Mo Fan's face turned pale.
The people were casting Healing Spells on the Sea King Skeleton!
They were obviously under someone's control. They were human Healers who had been enslaved by the sea monsters!
With the help of the Healers, the Sea King Skeleton would recover in just a few days and make a comeback!
