"The Pharaoh Spring can't fall into the hands of the culprit, but the Hunter Masters are scattered across Egypt. I don't know their exact locations. It's going to be difficult to intercept the Pharaoh Spring," Apas realized how serious the situation was.
The Pharaoh Spring was able to preserve most of an undead's strength when they were turned into undead.
The Medusa Queen was a true ruler. Her eyes were scarier than the other rulers!
"There's someone who might be able to make things easier. At least every team that knows the location of the Pharaoh Spring will report it to him. If we can control him, we'll know the movements and progress of every Hunter Master team," Ling Ling said.
The Black Elephant King!
Ling Ling remembered that the Black Elephant King was responsible for assigning missions to the Hunter Masters.
He was a Senior Hunter.
However, it did not sound like it was going to be easy to deal with someone like him.
"Then you should think of a way to control the Black Elephant King and give me the information he has. I'll intercept it one by one!" Apas said.
In order to completely destroy him, his two elder sisters had already gone completely crazy!
"I'll have to think of something," Ling Ling felt a headache coming on.
Why did a little fairy who was not even twenty years old have to do something so important? Where were the outstanding authorities in this world?
However, on second thought, it was reasonable for someone as unreliable as Mo Fan to be in such a mess after becoming a Human Emperor.
"Don't you have teammates? I'll let them go," Apas said.
"They … alright, it's better than nothing," Ling Ling let out a sigh.
She still wanted to be a student who did not need her brain. It seemed like she had to show some of her capabilities as a Seven Star Hunter Master!
"By the way, how are you going to explain it to them?" Apas asked.
"It's simple."
…
She was going to control the Black Elephant King and intercept the Pharaoh Spring.
When Ling Ling left the evil temple of the Sunset Shrine, she thought about the mission carefully. She glanced at the members of the Hunter Union.
They had just come back from the jaws of death. They were in a bad state, but luckily, they were on the same side as her.
"Is the Pharaoh Spring really the only thing that can remove our curse?" Jiang Binming's face was pale, and his lips trembled as he spoke.
"Right now, all the Hunter Masters are trying their best to find a single Pharaoh Spring, just to stand out in the Hunter Competition. In the end, we have to find seventeen of them … How is that possible? We'll all be tortured to death by the curse!" Douglas wailed, almost bursting into tears.
Tong Zhou maintained his silence. As a professor, the more silent he was, the more nervous the students became.
"Professor, I have an idea." Ling Ling saw that everyone was depressed, so she chose to speak up.
"Speak," Tong Zhouzhen said.
"We are holding hostage the Black Elephant King, who is in charge of the competition. All the Hunter Masters are trying to find out the truth about the Pharaoh Spring. If we can take down the Black Elephant King, we can ask the participating Hunter Masters to help us find the Pharaoh Spring. That way, we'll have a chance to get rid of the Curse, "Ling Ling said.
"Are you kidding me? That's a Senior Hunter!"
"If we do this, won't we be completely removed from the Hunter's list? This is a crime!"
"I agree, it's better than being tortured to death by the curse!"
"Yeah, isn't there any other way? It's our fault for coming to the evil temple."
Tong Zhouzhen gave Ling Ling's suggestion a serious thought.
After some time, Tong Zhouzhen nodded and said, "Let's do it this way. I'll pretend that I've found a Pharaoh Spring and use it as a trap to poison the Black Elephant King. We'll then control him."
"Professor, are you confident?" Ling Ling asked worriedly.
"As long as he's not too wary of me," Professor Tong Zhouzhen said.
The members of the Hunter School were on the verge of tears.
How could the Battle of Heroes Tournament suddenly turn out like this? They were going to become traitors and directly attack the referee and the other participating teams.
The problem was, could they really do it with such a low-level setup?
…
Everyone was exhausted as they walked out of the Sunset Slope. It felt like their limbs were chained up.
They had finally returned to Orange Sand Town, but they were not overjoyed when they saw the prosperity of humans again. After all, the curse of the Crimson Serpent Evil Dragon was still deeply imprinted in their souls. Every time they closed their eyes, the terrifying eyes would appear in the darkness of their thoughts.
As the mistress of the evil temple, she had warned the members of the Hunter School.
The curse would devour them in just a week, making them wish they were dead. In order to scare them, Apas had purposely planted some illusions in their minds to make them believe they were cursed.
The Pharaoh Spring was the only antidote.
It could only remove one person's curse at a time.
Ling Ling was left with no choice. She did not want to use the same method to fool them. Ling Ling could not find a better helper in Cairo.
Besides, the Black Elephant King was a Senior Hunter.
His strength was definitely outstanding!
They could not use brute force, so Tong Zhouzhen's suggestion was the most suitable.
They were a team of Hunters, and Tong Zhouzhen was a senior professor and a Hunter Master. The Black Elephant King would not think there was anything wrong with the Pharaoh Spring that Tong Zhouzhen had given him, so he would not set up any defenses.
"Let's rest for the night. We'll kidnap the Black Elephant King tomorrow," Professor Tong Zhouzhen said to the others.
"Professor, are we really going to do that?"
"Mmm. If you don't want to die, I've heard that those who are cursed to death are never peaceful, "Professor Tong Zhouzhen emphasized.
…
Everyone fell asleep uneasily. Ling Ling let out a relieved sigh when she realized she had successfully tricked them.
She opened her little notebook and wanted to check the progress of the few Hunter Masters that she was tracking. Suddenly, someone knocked on the door softly.
Ling Ling went to open the door in confusion. She saw Professor Tong Zhouzhen standing there with a stern face.
He was always like this, not smiling.
"Professor, what's wrong?" Ling Ling was confused.
Did he suddenly remember something that he had not told her, or did he want to talk to her alone?
"You know the owner of the evil temple, don't you?" Professor Tong Zhouzhen said.
"Well …" Ling Ling was surprised. She did not expect the professor to be so observant.
Judging from his expression, Professor Tong Zhouzheng already knew something.
"I need a more realistic explanation, not a curse," Professor Tong Zhouzhen said to Ling Ling.
"Please come in," Ling Ling only wanted the professor who had seen through her lie to enter the room.
"You're the daughter of the Cold Hunting King, Leng Ling Ling. I believe you won't collude with demon creatures to harm humans, but I don't understand why you're trying to sabotage the competition, "Professor Tong Zhouzhen said.
Ling Ling opened her mouth. So the professor knew everything.
"Will you believe what I say?" Ling Ling asked.
"I'll have to listen to you first," Professor Tong Zhouzhen said.
