Full-Time Magister: Dark Lord

Cao Le knew the truth, but he couldn't say anything at this moment. After all... he had no reason to know!

Moreover, with the little strategist here, what is needed for him?

Just watch quietly.

...

Late at night, the little girl, carrying that maggot-like gadget, excitedly called a few people and they all went to the beach.

Then, Lingling took out her notebook.

This small computer seems to be something she always carries with her, no matter where she goes.

After everything was prepared, she put the little thing into the water.

He explained to the group again that the reason these maggot-like creatures go unnoticed when people drown is because once they enter the water, they are almost invisible. They become one with the water!

After explaining, Lingling looked at Bobby and said, "Go find a speedboat."

Bobby was puzzled, but he went anyway.

"Then what about us?" Mo Fan asked.

"We'll follow this maggot and protect it. Once it grows to a certain size, we'll get what we need: the vaccine," Cao Le shrugged.

Actually, Lingling's meaning has already been made very clear.

So, seeing that Mo Fan still didn't understand, Cao Le couldn't help but think that this kid was really stupid...

Mo Fan's mouth dropped open, and he pointed at the seawater in front of him, saying, "We're supposed to protect that maggot???"

"Yes, otherwise how would we get the specimen? Without the specimen, the drowning curse will still reappear!" Lingling nodded.

She was smiling, and her smile made her look like a cute little girl... but this whole thing was a bit outrageous.

However, since Lingling, the little commander, had already spoken, they naturally couldn't say anything and just followed the maggot.

Along the way, they encountered some demons, but they were all driven away by the group.

Is that why this maggot doesn't seem to want to find a target for the time being?

It seemed to know that it was being protected, so for a moment, its vision broadened!

But the others had no choice but to continue following.

Cao Le felt that as long as the other party didn't recklessly seek out a monarch-level creature, he could allow it.

Even that so-called fake dragon of Wuhai.

He wasn't flustered at all!

Just to be on the safe side, Cao Le still inquired with Bobby about whether there were any powerful demons living in this sea area.

Bobby said a lot, but the strongest were just some presidents.

Once Cao Le confirmed that there were no monarch-like creatures in the vicinity, he felt relieved.

They quickly arrived at the territory of the Wuhai Pseudo-Dragon, and after Bobby explored the area, he returned and explained the situation.

Bobby had already suggested turning back, after all, what lay below was the Wuhai Pseudo-Dragon!

Upon learning that it was a pseudo-dragon from Wuhai, Mo Fan and Mu Ningxue's expressions also turned somewhat grim...

After all, for high-level and mid-level mages, any demon that has even the slightest connection to dragons is usually very strong, even among those of the same level, they are considered superior!

False dragons are demons that carry dragon blood. For example, the lizard-like false dragons in the Golden Forest Wasteland are probably the illegitimate offspring of an earth dragon and some kind of giant lizard, and their strength is considered relatively strong among the leaders.

The Wuhai Pseudo-Dragon below is a hybrid demon of a sea dragon and a thunderstorm giant crow. It possesses both the ferocity and bloodlust of a sea dragon and the cunning and treachery of a thunderstorm giant crow. When it appears, the seawater within a three-kilometer radius turns black. This black seawater is slightly poisonous and can paralyze the nerves of living beings, making their reaction ability extremely slow and their movements unsteady, as if they were drunk.

In fact, Cao Le wasn't very confident in dealing with this kind of creature in the sea.

But if the fake dragon of Wuhai is prevented from entering the water, then it will be a different story. It's just a mere monstrous dragon; he's truly not afraid of it!

In this world, there are always some demons who are rumored to be incredibly powerful, but that only applies to ordinary and mid-level mages.

Compared to a mage with superior talent and equipment, these demons are nothing.

In front of a monstrous mage like Cao Le, let alone a pseudo-dragon, even a sub-dragon is nothing special.

Ultimately, they are not true dragons. Compared to true dragons, their strength is worlds apart.

Just like the dragon breath of a dragon, although many mages say that it is not much different, in reality... how many modern people have actually seen a real dragon?

...

226. Just a fake dragon.

After arriving here, the maggot first rested, seemingly waiting for an opportunity to strike.

The group could only wait on the shore.

Of course, since he didn't know how many days he would have to wait here, Cao Le still told Ai Jiangtu about it...

...

The sun shone directly down, bringing with it a scorching heat. A school of marine fish, which rely on the sun's ultraviolet rays to kill bacteria on their skin, had already swum to this shallow reef. Just as Cao Le and Mo Fan were idly watching the fish...

"Buzz~~~~"

Suddenly, a huge tremor came from underwater...

"What's going on?" Bobby, who was asleep on the ship, jumped up when he heard the noise.

“We’re in trouble now.” Lingling’s voice was low as she stared at the monitor screen.

"That maggot didn't go and provoke those thunderstorm squid, did it?" Bobby asked with a hint of anticipation.

Lingling shook her head and then said, "It is now approaching the location of the Black Sea Pseudo-Dragon. That Black Pseudo-Dragon must have sensed something and roared from the seabed to intimidate this unseen intruder. The seismic wave just now was the Black Pseudo-Dragon's breath."

"Let's go back..." Bobby said, and immediately turned to leave.

To be honest, he was just an ordinary mid-level mage.

I never thought about how to get ahead in my life, but I'm dealing with a fake dragon?

This was something he never dared to imagine in his entire life...

“We can’t go back. The probability of catching live maggots is extremely low. If we don’t solve this problem this time, the number of drowning curse deaths will exceed 500 in a year, and will increase to 1000 in two years. Although someone will definitely extract its vaccine in the future, it will be made up of the corpses of countless drowning curse victims over the years,” Lingling said solemnly.

Looking at the determination on Lingling's little face, Bobby was momentarily stunned...

He could tell that this little girl was different from the first time they met.

But she was ultimately just an ordinary little girl, and Bobby really didn't know where she got this courage from.

"It's just a fake dragon, nothing to be afraid of. As long as I can get it out of the water, I can destroy it myself."

Looking at Lingling like this, Cao Le had an indescribable feeling in his heart.

Although Lingling is young, she is indeed an excellent hunter. Moreover, she knows when to take a gamble.

The problem of drowning curses isn't a huge issue, but it's not insignificant either. However, if left unchecked, the extent of casualties it could cause is truly unknown...

Solving this problem now can still save many people.

If even a little girl is so enthusiastic, what is he doing here if he doesn't contribute?

Of course, Cao Le was actually more interested in the bounty.

After all, he didn't help for nothing...

"you?"

Bobby clearly didn't believe that Cao Le, a mere kid, could deal with the fake dragon of Wuhai.

"What do you mean 'you'? If I can't beat you, you can just turn around and run away. What am I afraid of then?" Cao Le was naturally very unhappy with this kind of questioning.

After hearing Cao Le's words, and seeing Lingling's resolute expression, Bobby wavered for a moment...

But he's no longer a hot-blooded youth. What if Cao Le and his group are no match for him and turn around and run away?

He knew that Cao Le and his group were capable.

But they are no match for the speed of a runner; can he possibly compare?

Bobby was afraid that these last few guys would finish showing off and then run away!

"Never mind..."

But Lingling, this helpless little girl, was so determined to stay, and he couldn't very well say anything. Besides, it concerned the deaths of his two brothers. He didn't want their sacrifices to be in vain...

“I can wait with you, but let’s make this clear beforehand: if you can’t handle it, I’m leaving!” This was Bobby’s last act of defiance.

Cao Le remained silent, while Mu Ningxue said, "We need to think of a way... to get the Wuhai pseudo-dragon off the surface of the sea."

“If we can make all those thunderstorm squid go berserk, then we can get them out of the sea and out into the open…” Lingling said.

Upon hearing this, Bobby said, "I do have a solution, but I don't think it's much safer than going to sea and fighting the fake dragon of Wuhai."

"explain."

“Isn’t there a group of thunderstorm squid living in the reef caves between one and two thousand meters deep?” Bobby glanced underwater, his tone slightly unsteady. “Thunderstorm squid are a group of volatile and extremely sensitive creatures. Once they are threatened enough, these squid with very poor perception will start releasing lightning. When other squid see the lightning, they will know that their companions are in danger, so they will also release lightning…”

As soon as he said that, Lingling immediately understood.

Bobby also said that the leader of this thunderstorm squid seems to be about to give birth, and at this time, stimulating it will definitely be a sure thing!

Immediately, Mo Fan and Mu Ningxue went into the water.

One was responsible for luring the false dragon of Wuhai, while the other was responsible for igniting the fury of the Thunderstorm Squid swarm.

As for Cao Le?

His job was to wait on the shore to harvest the crops.

The reef was arguably the best fighting ground; the highest point of the water was only knee-deep. Lingling and Bobby were responsible for creating a buffer zone...

...

A moment later, commotion could be heard from underwater, and Mo Fan and Mu Ningxue ran out.

"Awooo!!!"

At the same time, a roar was heard, and the sea surface churned. The Wuhai Pseudo-Dragon had also reached the sea level. Clearly, the Thunderstorm Squid swarm's lightning attack made it impossible for it to stay any longer.
