"The Drowning Curse?" Nanrong Ni stared at Mu Ningxue with a terrified face.
According to Mu Ningxue's description, the Drowning Curse had been around in the East Maritime Fortress for a long time. There were quite a number of cases of the Drowning Curse, but since the fortress was a naval fortress, most of the deaths could be explained by the presence of demon creatures. The Drowning Curse did not show any signs, nor did it leave any clues behind. As a result, no organization was able to provide a complete explanation for the Drowning Curse.
"It sounds pretty scary," said Jiang Shaoxu.
"The intern also told me that they did a physical examination on a group of people, but they didn't notice anything strange about them. However, not long after, one of them happened to be afflicted by the Drowning Curse … the scariest thing about it is that it doesn't show any signs at all. It's like it's just happening to the people of the East Maritime Fortress randomly," said Mu Ningxue.
"Even if it's a terrifying plague, there must be a reason behind it. Is there really no clue about the Drowning Curse?" asked Nanrong Ni.
Mu Ningxue shook her head. She had asked around about the Drowning Curse in the morning, but the scariest thing about it was that there was no reason for it to happen.
"Strange, aren't the Japanese afraid of it? If it happened in our country, we would be in a panic by now," said Jiang Shaoxu.
"This is the East Maritime Fortress. Every time the tide rises, a lot of Mages die to the sea monsters. The probability of the Drowning Curse being discovered isn't very high …"
"It's all about human lives. How can we just ignore it just because it's rare? If it's some kind of plague, it's going to be very troublesome. Do you know about the plague in Hangzhou? The people didn't think it was a big deal at first, but the rate of the plague kept increasing. It even attracted the attention of the Silver Skyruler in the mountains to the west! "said Jiang Yu sternly.
"The fortress in Hangzhou is so well-defended. Even if a horde of demon creatures attacked, it wouldn't make much of a difference. Didn't they manage to suppress the plague fairly quickly? I heard it was a young man who found the cure. I think his name is Wang Xiaojun …" said Zhou Xu.
"Do you really think it's that simple?" Jiang Yu refuted. He explained in detail, "The Silver Skyruler is the ancestor of the Heavenly Eagles. When the Heavenly Eagles in Hangzhou Fortress betrayed the Heavenly Eagles, their leader gave the order in time … thousands of Heavenly Eagles that they spent a fortune to nurture died at the hands of their own Magicians. You have no idea how cruel it was!"
"There's such a thing?" Everyone's eyes widened. The news had never reported this before.
"There are a lot of things that haven't been reported yet. Did you know that the plague was actually caused by a Councilman's fake blood serums?" Jiang Yu said.
"F * ck, are you serious?"
"Fake blood serums? How dare they fake something like this? How can this be faked?"
Jiang Yu harrumphed coldly when he saw everyone's reaction, "A plague is a lot scarier than a curse. Curses usually target an individual, but a plague is a huge curse that directly affects the life and death of an entire species. In my opinion, if the Japanese government doesn't treat this seriously, it will be too late to deal with it once they realize it's a plague!"
Mu Ningxue nodded. She had witnessed the woman turning from a lively state to a corpse in just a few seconds. Most terrifyingly, the woman had jumped into the ocean on her own. It was difficult to calm her down when she went crazy before her death.
"It's not like we're in charge of it. What's the point of talking about it? If the Japanese government doesn't care about it, why are we worrying about it?" Guan Yu did not agree.
"There are always so many strange diseases that can't be explained in this world. Perhaps the people in the East Maritime Fortress were under too much pressure, so they took some medicine and jumped into the ocean on their own," Li Kaifeng agreed that it was rather ridiculous.
"Let's focus on tomorrow. I've already checked, the seawater has receded a little too far this time, which means the tide is going to be very strong tomorrow. Everyone, recharge the magic equipment you've used and cool them down in time. Prepare some emergency medicine, and make sure you have enough antidotes. The sea monsters are extremely poisonous, don't let your guard down," Nan Jue said to the others.
After all, the Drowning Curse had been around for a long time. Even the Japanese who had been here for many years could not find the cause of it, let alone them. They still had a mission to complete.
"Is Mofan still not planning to rejoin the team?" Jiang Yu asked Mu Ningxue.
Mu Ningxue did not even bother answering the question. It had nothing to do with her whether the guy was rejoining the team or not!

Seven Wings Mountain to the North of Tokyo
Seven Wings Mountain was a scenic spot in the outskirts of Tokyo. It had a beautiful view of the mountains, clear waters, and temples. It had a river where people could set up camp, and a mountain of maple trees that would turn fiery red during the season.
Mofan followed Mochizuki Chihaya down the mountain. He immediately saw many families setting up tents on both sides of the river filled with pebbles. It was a warm and peaceful scene.
Everyone liked to have fun like this. They would spend the weekends away from the noisy city, away from the cold stone houses. They would enjoy the fresh air and pure food in a place close to nature …
"You should take this back yourself. Seriously, it's such a waste of my time."
The beautiful scenery did not dispel Mofan's dissatisfaction.
He had come all the way here to visit Mochizuki No Ken's old friend, yet his friend had already been buried three days ago.
Mo Fan seriously doubted if Mochizuki Ken was really Mochizuki Ken's friend. How could he not know that someone else was dead? He didn't even come to pay his respects, and even asked Mo Fan to deliver the evil orb to him!
"My mentor is isolated from the rest of the world. He doesn't use any modern communication devices, and he doesn't want anyone to know about his situation. If I didn't come to deliver the evil orb, I would only know about his death half a year later …" Mochizuki Chihaya maintained her respect for the old man.
However, Mo Fan was very impatient.
How was he supposed to fulfill his promise to the Battle Soul? He still needed to upgrade his Swift Star Wolf. Why couldn't Mochizuki No Ken's old friend die a few days later? He should get rid of this troublesome orb first, and now he was holding onto this troublesome thing …
"Keep it for now, I'll contact my mentor once we're down the mountain." Mochizuki Chihaya was too scared to take the orb.
As they reached the foot of the mountain, Mofan finally had a signal on his phone. He was confused. Wasn't the mobile service in Japan supposed to cover the entire map? Why was there no signal on Seven-Winged Mountain?
"F * * k me, something happened to my girlfriend!" Mofan checked his phone and saw a page full of messages from Zhao Manyan.
"Who's your girlfriend?"
