There was not a single cloud in the blue sky. It looked like a huge, beautiful blue gem.
The ocean was deep blue, too. It was difficult to tell the directions once they set foot in the vast ocean.
Flying between the blue sky and the ocean, the only things they could use as reference were the scattered islands. However, the scattered islands were quite troublesome for Mofan and Zhao Manyan, as the Sea Monkey was most likely hiding among them.
"We have to find the Sea Monkey within the safe zone. It's like looking for a needle in a haystack once we leave the safe zone!" said Zhao Manyan.
Mofan nodded. He kept telling himself to think calmly.
The area below them was the safe zone. Apart from the scattered islands, they could also see some fishermen. Mofan believed it was pointless to search blindly. Perhaps the fishermen's experience of living here could provide them with some help.
"Zhao Manyan, let's go," said Mofan.
Zhao Manyan set his eyes on a fishing boat. He beat his golden wings and slowly landed on the boat.
Surprisingly, the fisherman on the fishing boat was not an old man or a man in his prime. Instead, it was a woman around twenty-five or twenty-six years old. She wore a bamboo hat that covered her face that had been tanned by the sun. Her figure was slender and capable, and her complexion was healthy.
Her face was filled with astonishment when she saw Mofan and Zhao Manyan. It was her first time seeing a Magician with the ability to fly at such a close distance. However, she did not seem to be the kind to make a fuss over nothing. She smiled politely and asked the two why they were here.
"Should we look for an older fisherman?" Zhao Manyan felt like it was a waste of time when he saw the fisherwoman.
Even though the fisherwoman was quite charming, he was not in the mood to flirt with her.
"I grew up here. If you have anything to do with the sea, feel free to ask." The fisherwoman smiled, revealing her white and neat teeth.
Mofan quickly described the situation to the fisherwoman, hoping that she would try her best to help them find the Sea Monkey.
"The Sea Monkey Monster you mentioned is called a Water Demon here. We've seen a lot of them in the past few years," the fisherwoman said.
"Then can you help us find it?" Mo Fan asked.
"Water ghosts mainly live on islands and land. Even if they swim in the water, they can't last for too long. If they enter a wide sea, they will try their best to find bamboo shoot reefs as a place to rest. Besides, they like to eat the seaweed that grows on the bamboo shoot reefs the most … You can try looking for the bamboo shoot reefs, "the fisherwoman said.
"Where is the bamboo shoot reef around here?" Zhao Manyan asked.
"There's a bamboo shoot forest outside the safe zone. I'll contact the others in our village and help you find it, but we don't dare to go outside the safe zone," the fisherwoman said.
"Okay, thank you." Mofan nodded.
"What are you thanking me for? Anyone would be willing to help if they ran into something like this," the fisherwoman said cheerfully.
…
Following the fisherwoman's guidance, Mofan and Zhao Manyan made their way to the bamboo shoot reefs.
After leaving the safe zone, the bamboo shoot reefs were the only place with them. Therefore, the Sea Monkey Monster was most likely resting here before swimming further into the sea.
The two could only place their last hope on the bamboo shoot reefs. Hopefully, they could make it in time!
After flying past the safe zone, Mofan looked down and realized that the boundaries of the safe zone were only there in name. If some bigger demon beasts tried to invade the zone, they might trigger the interference barriers, but creatures like the Sea Monkey Monster were as agile as monkeys. They could easily bypass the alarms of the safe zone and invade the territory of humans.
"It looks like it's just ahead," said Zhao Manyan, pointing below.
The sea was clearer when they were further away from the land. They could clearly see jagged rocks on the surface of the blue sea. They could even vaguely see their enormous shadows under the water …
"Let's not go down rashly. It won't be good if we startle the Sea Monkey Monster," said Mofan.
The two circled in the air and stared at the bamboo shoot reefs.
According to the fisherwoman's description, the Sea Monkey Monster was not the kind of creature that could swim underwater. They would need to rest on the surface of the sea. They were already outside the safe zone. It was likely that the Sea Monkey Monster would climb onto the bamboo shoot reefs to rest after leaving the safe zone.
"Something jumped out!" screamed Zhao Manyan with sharp eyes, pointing at the jagged rocks.
Mo Fan looked in the direction and saw a monkey monster covered in seaweed crawling onto the reef. It was holding something in its hand as it dragged the creature out of the water!
Zhao Manyan did not see what it was carrying. He immediately dove down with Mofan.
"Chi!"
Zhao Manyan turned into a golden eagle. He withdrew his wings and dove toward the bamboo shoot reefs.
The Sea Monkey Monster was extremely alert. It immediately jumped into the water when it sensed danger above its head, trying to escape deeper into the water.
"Still trying to run away!"
Zhao Manyan dove to the rocks and tossed Mofan onto the rocks. He then turned into a swordfish and dove into the water …
Mofan did not dare to go into the water. He could only watch from the top of the bamboo shoot reefs and remind Zhao Manyan to be careful of the kid.
Zhao Manyan was quite fierce when he went berserk. The Sea Monkey Monster was caught by Zhao Manyan in just a few seconds. A Servant-class creature like the Sea Monkey Monster did not have the ability to control water, but Zhao Manyan was different. He was a peak Intermediate Water Magician. Not only could he move and breathe freely underwater, he could also control the water.
Mofan soon saw Zhao Manyan jumping out from the water. The Sea Monkey Monster was dragged out by Zhao Manyan.
"Damn it, it's holding a huge coconut covered in fur!" cursed Zhao Manyan angrily as he tossed the Sea Monkey Monster onto the rocks.
"This is troublesome," Mofan's expression turned stern.
It was obvious that they were not looking for the Sea Monkey Monster that had kidnapped the kid. It was very likely that the Sea Monkey Monster had already left the place and headed to the ocean.
The problem was, once it reached the ocean, it would be impossible for them to find the kid.
"Squeak squeak ~ Squeak squeak ~"
The 'innocent' Sea Monkey was so scared that it curled up into a ball and let out a pitiful cry. It seemed to have guessed that the two humans were not looking for it, so it made a humble gesture as if it was begging them to spare its life.
"I wonder if this guy can understand human language. The Sea Monkey Monsters roaming around here are mostly from the same nest. Judging from how scared it is, it might know where the bastard that kidnapped the kid is," Zhao Manyan angrily kicked the Sea Monkey Monster.
The innocent Sea Monkey Monster cried out in fear. It almost fainted as it thought the humans were going to kill it.
Mofan was speechless. Was there any demon beast that was more cowardly than the Sea Monkey Monster?
However, Zhao Manyan's words reminded Mofan of something.
