Chapter 158 Zhongshan Islands

"Azure Blood Lion!"

As the majestic and solemn magical sound faded away.

A head the size of a three-story villa smashed through the hazy, moon-white mist and arrived outside the summoning gate.

Above the crimson lion's head, a pair of blood-red eyes, like blood moons, merely swept across the surface, causing the three high-level mages watching it to freeze in place. Its dark red mane fluttered in the wind, displaying an aura of dominance.

The enormous body stepped out unhurriedly, and on its fifty-meter-tall form, a pair of wings swirling with blood-red wind spread out, obscuring the entire harbor.

In an instant, two blood-red energy blades shot out with unparalleled speed, slashing towards the refined man. Covering a distance of two hundred meters, the blood-red energy blades were like the scythe of death, giving the refined man no time or space to escape.

Unstoppable, after the refined man once again blocked another wave of attacks from the raging purple-eyed blue lions, the huge blood-red scythe had already slashed down on him.

"BOOM!!!!"

The violent impact kicked up a cloud of dust, and under the watchful eyes of Sikong Wen and the Shadow Mage, the port, which had previously retained some semblance of its former appearance, suddenly shattered. Like slicing tofu, fifty meters of land closest to the river plunged directly into the raging torrent!

On the neatly cut bank, fragments of a body lay scattered everywhere.

"Awooo~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~!!"

A roar that shook half of Shanghai resounded as the Azure Blood Lion raised its head high, glanced lightly at Bai Mo, who was pale and weak, and led the remaining Purple-Eyed Azure Lions back to the Summoning Plane.

"Amazing!" Sikong Wen waited for the summoning gate to dissipate before coming to Bai Mo's side and giving him a thumbs up.

Bai Mo smiled but remained silent. He was simply testing his beast horde summoning ability; the refined man's poison transformation was indeed formidable. Normally, a high-level mage surrounded by so many warriors would be forced to defend and flee. Yet, it was able to counterattack.

After dealing with the man in blue, the three exchanged a few words, submitted the mission together, and immediately received the next text message.

Sikong Wen and the Shadow Mage left in a hurry. One in blue was worth 500 points, and one in black was worth 100 points. These points could be used to redeem items in the Judgment Network Mall.

It's much more worthwhile than hunting down the Black Vatican and collecting the bounty at the Inquisition.

Bai Mo is not in a hurry.

His message requested the elimination of several men in black. He had completely exhausted his summoning magic power, so he did not use Wind Rail to travel.

Instead, it uses relatively slow ground waves.

On the way to an abandoned warehouse.

Sitting on the back of the Ghost Wolf Beast, Mo Fan looked at Xu Zhaoting and Zhang Lulu beside him and felt a bit of a toothache.

"Hey Lao Xu, we're going to fight, why are you bringing your family?"

After obtaining the clues about the Black Vatican from Xu Zhaoting, Mo Fan rushed over. Thanks to Bai Mo's reminder, Mo Fan estimated that if Xu Zhaoting had faced those guys alone, he would likely have been in grave danger.

"Who do you think you are? I'm no weaker than you!" Zhang Lulu said immediately before Xu Zhaoting could speak.

"Alright, I hope you can draw the magic then."

A faint silver light flashed by, carrying away a fine head.

The black robe lying on the ground was submerged in blood, and there were seven or eight other similar black robes lying on the ground at this time.

After submitting the task, Bai Mo yawned and transformed into a gentle breeze, heading to the next location.

The Judgment Network must have deployed quite a few experts this time. Apart from the one in blue at the beginning, all the tasks Bai Mo received afterward were in black.

As night replaced day, Bai Mo returned to Jinyuan Apartment.

As a member of the operation, Bai Mo felt that the crackdown on organized crime had gone very well.

While flying in the sky, he saw many magical lights.

The main campus assessment of Mingzhu Academy has officially come to an end. Mu Nujiao and Ai Tutu each spent one million to buy two teammate spots from Mo Fan.

Surprisingly, after learning that this was another way to do things, Mo Fan actually gave one of his spots to Bai Tingting, who had been treating him.

The other one was bought by the wealthy and powerful Zhao Manyan.

Bai Mo heard about it from Ai Tutu. He looked at the mission he had accepted on his phone: to kill the Golden Forest Giant Lizard Pseudo-Dragon.

The number of people remains the same; we are still short one person.

But there's a problem: he doesn't need any more points, so should he still do this task?

After hesitating for a third of a second, he decided to do it anyway.

A commander-level essence is a rare resource with many uses.

"Buzz!!"

Bai Mo's phone vibrated. He picked it up and saw that it was a call from Sikong Wen.

Bai Mo was somewhat surprised, but still answered the call.

"Hey, Bai Mo, have you eaten?" A curt greeting came through the phone. Bai Mo replied speechlessly, "What is it? Just say it."

"Ahem, this isn't the first time, I'm not very familiar with the procedures yet." Sikong Wen coughed, and after learning Bai Mo's methods, he immediately got straight to the point:

"Well, I'd like to ask you for a favor."

"What kind of help?"

"I'm planning to find a soul seed for my earth element; I don't care about the synthesized items at the auction."

"So?" Bai Mo had some guesses in his mind.

"So of course I'll look for someone born with it. I've already got concrete information about an earth-type soul seed in the Zhongshan Islands. You know the situation there, so I'd like to team up with you."

Sikong continued speaking.

"Don't worry, I won't let you help for nothing. I heard your Bai family is looking for a high-level contracted beast with the lightning attribute, you must be looking for one for you, right? I can help. If you really do get a lightning-type beast, I can also provide you with information on lightning-type soul seeds."

"Anything you find along the way is yours; I only want the soul seed."

Bai Mo hesitated for a moment, then said calmly, "Okay, but I need to bring someone with me."

"Who should I bring?"

"A high-level spiritual mage."

"Sure, I totally agree."

Nodding slightly, Bai Mo understood that mind-based mages were highly valued by every hunter-mage team, as they reduced a lot of trouble. Therefore, he wasn't surprised by the answer and continued to ask.

"When are we leaving? I'm not always available."

He was also planning to go to Jinlin with the exchange students from Mingzhu University.

"Rest tomorrow, and we'll set off the day after. Don't worry, it won't take long."

"it is good."

Nodding slightly, Bai Mo hung up the phone with satisfaction.

Information about the Zhongshan Islands came to mind.

The Zhongshan Islands are located in the East China Sea and belong to Kyushu. They are rich in water resources and are currently the first line of defense for Kyushu against the Pacific sea monsters.

On the largest island in the Zhongshan Islands, there is a city built in imitation of a Japanese naval battle castle, called Zhongshan City, only much smaller than the Japanese naval battle castle.

However, it is also a place where many mages and military mages in the southeastern part of Kyushu train in battle and reap resources.

This is the only island where humans in the Zhongshan Islands can move around somewhat freely, while the other islands that are nominally part of the Zhongshan Islands are all occupied by demons.

Although Bai Mo couldn't quite understand why an earth-type soul seed would form in that kind of place, he could guess.

This soul seed is definitely not located on Zhongshan Island, where Zhongshan City is situated.

He had promised Ding Yumin that he would take her with him when he went out in the future.

So the next day, Bai Mo came to the courtyard and told them about it.

"That's the situation. Are you going to train in Shanghai or come with me?"

"I'm with you, and Bai Ze is with us too. The hollow willow tree we saw last time brought about quite a change in Bai Ze."

Ding Yumin said, "Moreover, I also need to experience some battles so that I can have a clearer understanding of myself."

"If you want to go together, then go together. Your abilities won't hold me back, and they'll be a great help to me. Why say so much?"

Bai Mo looked at her with a smile.

"Oh." Ding Yumin pursed her lips. "What do I need to prepare? You have more experience with this."

"No need, I have some in my personal storage space."

As the only naval city in Kyushu, Zhongshan City attracts a considerable number of mages seeking training.

Therefore, there were many ships heading to Zhongshan City.

Some are private, and some are not.

Bai Mo lay on a deck chair on the deck, comfortably gazing at the azure sea and sky. Beside her was Ding Yumin, who wasn't lying down like Bai Mo.

Sikong Wen also brought along a high-level water mage from his family. The two of them stood by, watching the sea.

"Hey Bai Mo, is that high-level mind-manipulation mage you mentioned your girlfriend? We're not here on vacation."

"Otherwise, should I go to the heavens and find a high-level mind-controller? Besides, she's stronger than you." Bai Mo shrugged, shutting down Sikong Wen's worries with a single sentence.

Sikong choked on his words. He didn't have any magical artifacts to protect his mind, so it was indeed difficult for him to defeat a mind-based mage. But that wasn't what he meant to express.

"I'm worried about what will happen if your girlfriend gets her face scratched by a siren. It could ruin a relationship, and we can't afford that."

"Don't worry about anything else. By the way, why haven't we arrived at Zhongshan City yet?"

"I'm afraid we'll have to wait a bit." A deep voice interrupted; it was the high-level water mage, a talented individual recruited by the Sikong family.

"What's wrong?" Sikong asked, frowning.

"A naval battle has just broken out in Zhongshan City, and the entire Zhongshan Island is surrounded by sea monsters. If we continue to advance, we will be surrounded by the monsters."

The water mage said, "Once the ships are damaged, and none of you are good at underwater warfare, we will be at a great disadvantage."

"I'm afraid we can't wait." Bai Mo straightened up and sat up from the deck chair. In the distance, two identical cruise ships were approaching at top speed.

On the deck, Bai Mo saw a dense crowd of people.

There were far more people than on a regular ferry cruise ship, and he mobilized more magical energy to extend the sound string's detection coverage underwater.

The four had previously exchanged information about their respective magic, so as soon as Bai Mo finished speaking, they followed his gaze and saw this scene. Knowing that Bai Mo was a sound-based magic user, they asked:

"What did you sense?"

"A large group of sirens, all of them filth hunters, have already destroyed two cruise ships that were also heading to Zhongshan City, and are now chasing two ships that are heading towards us."

As Bai Mo spoke, his expression gradually turned serious. He detected the sound waves from Zhongshan City, seven kilometers away, and also relayed the intelligence from the sea behind them.

"There's a group of Blue Ling Demons behind us, one of whom is a commander. We can't retreat! Zhongshan City is also in danger now. Five commanders are attacking, and it looks like they want to completely destroy Zhongshan City and wipe out all the humans on the island. Zhongshan City only has ten high-level mages right now, so it's going to be difficult to resist, not to mention that some commanders are leading their own tribes."

"What should we do then?"

Beset by wolves in front and tigers behind, the water mage brought by Sikong Wen was momentarily flustered. He rarely experienced such situations and had been focusing on his cultivation.

Ding Yumin simply said, "At most, I can control one commander."

Bai Mo glanced at the three of them, his calm voice enveloping the entire sea area.

"Listen to my command! A commander-level Blue-Eyed Demon is lurking in the waters ahead. Halt your advance, move closer to us, and together we will defeat the sea monster!"

At the same time, a divine light flashed in Ding Yumin's eyes, and a silent spiritual fluctuation accompanied the sound, blowing into the hearts of everyone.

Instill in them the idea that they should obey instructions.

These words echoed directly through the two rapidly moving giant ships, silencing the previously noisy deck. No one who could stand here was an ordinary person.

Some experienced hunters instantly understood what kind of mage was speaking and were able to promptly share the information with their uninformed companions, while also urging them to follow the instructions.

On the vast ocean, a sonic mage gave instructions that the chances of survival would undoubtedly be much higher. Meanwhile, a high-ranking wind mage, who had been flying above the two giant ships and guarding them, also breathed a long sigh of relief.

Upon hearing that there was a commander ahead, the captains of the two giant ships immediately followed Bai Mo's orders, dared not continue to flee, and skillfully stopped their ships next to Bai Mo's and the others.

"All ice mages, cast your spells and freeze the water between the three ships."

Bai Mo's voice continued to ring in everyone's ears, with the hint of the mind magic that Ding Yumin had released earlier, so basically no one would disobey his command.

In order to survive, they were naturally willing to cooperate.

When Sikong Wen appeared before the railing, his body radiating lightning, facing the hunters following closely behind the two ships, he was enveloped in a brilliant purple constellation.

The doubts that occasionally flashed through the minds of some people also vanished.

"Thunder Arm!"

Thick and dazzling pillars of lightning erupted from Sikong Wen's hands, the raging lightning condensing to its peak, easily piercing through the seawater and shining upon the group of filthy hunters.

Wherever the lightning pillar passes, powerful lightning will turn the filthy and ugly demons underwater into pieces. When two lightning pillars meet...

A massive thunderstorm erupted, sending towering columns of water flying everywhere. Countless black, mangled corpses and severed limbs were scattered, and the once-powerful group of filthy hunters that had turned the seawater black was now completely dispersed.

The remaining filthy hunters were not intimidated by this high-level magic. Instead, they gathered together and tried to destroy the human ships, constantly harassing the mages who were freezing the seawater and protecting the cruise ships with their magic.

Just then, a huge wave suddenly surged up behind the ship. The towering wave was even higher than the ship's deck and crashed directly into it with overwhelming force!

If that giant wave, more than ten meters high, were to crash down, countless mages would be blown off the deck and into the water by the powerful impact.
