Chapter 952

Protect her so that she could grow up safely!

Mo Fan had the urge to bang his head against a metal basin when he heard the words!

-What the hell, is this even a job for a human? -

Mu Ningxue's eyes were wide open too.

The job that Lingling has given them … was totally out of their minds! -

"If we don't kill this thing, we have to protect it like a babysitter? Are you kidding me!?" Bobby's jaw almost dropped to the ground.

"Like I said, we can only obtain the vaccine tissue after they transform into their complete form. Right now, this maggot is the only thing we can track, and it's also the only specimen we have. It's very, very difficult to catch one like we did this time. We have no idea who's going to be affected by the Drowning Curse, nor can we find out who has the maggot. The time of death was too sudden, too. We can't possibly guard the beach twenty-four hours a day. Even if we could, these transparent little things would vanish as soon as they touch the water. It's impossible to control them like we did this time, "Lingling said sternly.

"Err … give us some time to digest the information first. It's a bit hard to accept," Mo Fan said.

The three exchanged glances with one another. It was not difficult for them to kill the demon beasts, kill the demon beasts, and track the maggot, but it was too f * * king difficult for them to protect the transparent maggot that would melt as soon as it entered the water and grow up!

Who knew where the little demon beast would end up in the ocean? Who knew what kind of sea monsters it would stumble into, not to mention how fragile it was. If they were not careful, the little demon beast would be smashed to death by a strong undercurrent, and if they were not careful, it might end up in the stomach of some sea creature!

"I have a question, how fast is this thing growing? What if it takes a few months, or even a few years to reach its final form? Doesn't that mean we're going to have to protect it for a long time?" Bobby asked.

"That won't be necessary. This thing has been growing for a long time. It grows very quickly after it enters the ocean. According to my estimation, if everything goes well, it will reach its final form in less than half a month. Mo Fan, Mu Ningxue, you should ask for a leave from the national team. I hope you can focus on your mission for the next half a month. I'm sure you know how difficult it is, but if we succeed, not only will we receive a huge reward and the attention of the International Hunter Union, we will also be able to save more people that are going to die to the Drowning Curse in the future. I've done some research, and the frequency of the Drowning Curse is increasing. We have to get rid of these maggots that are able to live in humans' bodies. It's almost impossible to eradicate them. The only way is to create a vaccine, "Ling Ling said seriously to the three of them.

Mo Fan was well aware of how serious the situation was. He nodded and said, "We'll try our best to resolve it."

"Count me in, I'm very familiar with the ocean. I won't let the little demon that killed two of my brothers continue to spread like this. I'll surely … ugh, either way, I'll keep an eye on it!" Bobby said.

Bobby was in a difficult position, too. He initially had the urge to stomp the creature to death, yet he ended up being the bodyguard of the person that killed his brothers.

However, Bobby's rationality told him that the intelligent little girl was right. It was meaningless to stomp the Drowning Curse Maggot to death. They had to find a way to resolve the Drowning Curse.

He believed that if his brother Norke knew that he was the one who had solved the Drowning Curse, he would be relieved in the Heavenly State.

"It's already more than a kilometer away. We're still in the safe zone, so there shouldn't be any demon beasts around. We'll have to be on high alert once we leave the safe zone," Lingling said.

"I'll go prepare a boat. Wait for me at the beach," Bobby said.

…

Not long after, the four boarded a boat and chased after the Drowning Curse Maggot in the direction Lingling had pointed out.

The Drowning Curse Maggot was not particularly fast. The boat maintained a distance of five hundred meters from the creature. If it dived deeper into the sea, the Water Magician Bobby would follow it.

Bobby's primary Element was Water. He was just an ordinary Intermediate Water Magician without a Soul Seed, but it was obvious that he was very familiar with swimming. He was the perfect candidate to follow the Drowning Curse Maggot closely.

Mo Fan and Mu Ningxue were on standby on the boat. Mo Fan took the time to give Zhao Manting a call and asked him to inform the team that he would be leaving the team for a while.

The national team was allowed to leave the team, but it meant that they would not be receiving the resources that they were supposed to receive.

Mo Fan estimated that the resources that they would receive from the national team in fifteen days were only equivalent to a Soul Seed. It was nowhere near enough for Mo Fan. It was better to take a gamble on the Drowning Curse Maggot, and earn himself a reward of three hundred and fifty million RMB.

"Hey, where did you two go on a private date? Aren't you going to take care of the giant skeleton?" Zhao Manting asked.

"You might not believe me," Mo Fan said.

"Why wouldn't I believe you?" Zhao Manting said.

"It's like this, we are going to protect a killer insect …" Mo Fan briefly explained the Drowning Curse to Zhao Manting.

Zhao Manting did not know much about the Drowning Curse. He purposely lowered his voice when he heard that Mo Fan was going to protect a killer insect and watch it grow. "Don't tell me something went wrong with your brain when you were injured by Philip?"

"Brain my ass, I've wasted my time explaining it to you! Either way, Mu Ningxue and I will be away from the team for half a month, "Mo Fan said.

"Did the two of you really have to come up with such a ridiculous, childish excuse that makes it sound like you're trying to save the world? Remember to take extra precautions. Mu Ningxue is still trying to shine in the Venice Water City Tournament. Don't kill her …" Zhao Manting reminded them kindly.

Mo Fan was left speechless.

"Mo Fan, enough chatting, something's wrong!" The screen of Lingling's tablet began to emit a red alert. It seemed like the maggot was in danger!

"I can't use my fists and legs underwater," Mo Fan said helplessly.

"Quick, go down and take care of its natural enemy!" Lingling pushed Mo Fan into the water without mercy.

Mo Fan dove into the water. He temporarily used the Space Element to create a layer of air around him, just so he could breathe normally.

Mu Ningxue followed Mo Fan into the water, too. She was more familiar with the water than Mo Fan. Her alluring figure swam adeptly in the soft water. Her slender legs made little waves as she lifted her hips and swayed her hips. Mo Fan was having some trouble moving his legs around!
