Chapter 137 The Matter of Drowning Curse
So it waved its barbed arms again, and a cracking sound echoed through the neighborhood.
Wood chips flew everywhere, but the trees grew ever more lush.
The scales of the Blue Valley Ferocious Beast are extremely hard. Countless wooden spikes pierced its body, but they could not break through its scales, leaving only some messy marks at most.
Lu Jie stood on the roof. The Blue Valley Ferocious Beast was covered in scales all over its body. Just then, he saw that apart from the scales on its body, its head was exposed.
Seeing this, Lu Jie manipulated the plant to aim at its forehead.
The Blue Valley Ferocious Beast also realized the danger, waving its claws to protect its head and prevent Lu Jie from attacking.
Seeing this, Lu Jie was not angry. He simply manipulated the huge vines to bind its claws and pried them open. When a small gap was exposed, he did not hesitate to control the wooden spikes to pierce the forehead of the Blue Valley Ferocious Beast.
Chi!
A strange sound came, and blood gushed from the forehead of the Blue Valley Ferocious Beast, spraying everywhere.
Seeing that the first one was dead, the other one stopped fighting with Ai Jiangtu and the others and turned to escape.
"Hey, where are you going, you little devil?" Lu Jie had just finished collecting the spirit of the Blue Valley Ferocious Beast he had killed when he saw the slightly smaller one trying to escape, so he chased after it.
Seeing that it was trying to escape, Ai Jiangtu used telekinesis to continuously block the fleeing Blue Valley Ferocious Beast, while the others also used magic to bombard it.
A family should be together all the time, so don't be shy!
Soon, Lu Jie caught up and decisively used the Azure Lotus Flame. The azure flames fell on the Blue Valley Ferocious Beast, instantly turning it into a huge fireball.
The Blue Valley Ferocious Beast howled and struggled, rolling on the ground and rubbing against the tall buildings, trying to extinguish the Azure Lotus Flame clinging to its body. But it was not so easy to extinguish it.
Seizing the opportunity, Lu Jie conjured a sword from his mind. The invisible spatial sword pierced the head of the Blue Valley Ferocious Beast, and the blood was evaporated by the Azure Lotus Fire before it could even spurt out.
Congratulations to the two Blue Valley Fierce Beasts for receiving their lunchboxes ahead of schedule.
Blue Valley Fierce Beast: Finally off work, let's go, let's go report to the King of Hell.
"Wow, Brother Jie is too strong! He killed the mere Blue Valley Ferocious Beast so easily." Zhao Manyan imitated a certain "like" guy and gave Lu Jie a thumbs up.
The few who hadn't run away huddled together. Ai Jiangtu glanced around and noticed a few people were missing from the group. He couldn't help but ask, "Where are the others?"
"Zu Jiming and the others ran that way." Mu Nujiao pointed in the direction they fled, her face full of indignation.
If it were a competition, you couldn't count on them at all, because they might encounter someone stronger than themselves and then surrender.
Upon hearing this, Ai Jiangtu's face immediately darkened. It seemed necessary to discuss this situation with his mentor.
"With the two Blue Valley Ferocious Beasts killed, the other lesser demons are no match for us. Let's head to the reception area first," Nan Jue said.
Everyone nodded and then headed to the reception area.
Near the high embankment in Donghai City, a towering cylindrical building stands out prominently, its imposing presence felt even from several blocks away.
The Nationalist government delegation arrived here and, following the directions, found the person who would receive them.
The host was an administrator of a magic association. He led the group to a 400-square-meter suite with more than a dozen rooms for them to choose from.
This man was only in his early thirties, with a sharp jaw and shifty eyes, and his gaze was always intentionally fixed on the girls in the group.
This man seemed to have a particular fondness for long legs, and his eyes were always looking down, making him look more like a lecherous rat.
"If you keep looking around like that, I'll gouge your eyes out!"
Lu Jie noticed that the man's gaze kept drifting towards Mu Nujiao, so he couldn't help but reprimand him.
"Who do you think you are, daring to tell me what to do? I'll just watch and see what happens!"
The man became even more unrestrained, his gaze shifting between Mu Nujiao and Nan Jue.
Lu Jie sneered, reached out and grabbed, and with a soft "plop," the man let out a painful scream.
"My eyes..." The man covered his left eye, enduring the pain. There was no eyeball inside, and blood was flowing from his face and between his fingers.
Lu Jie released his grip, and the bloodshot eyeball that had been floating in the air fell to the ground. The man hurriedly caught it, hoping that the healing mage could put it back in.
Zu Jiming and his men couldn't help but shudder at the sight; this was definitely a ruthless person!
"What is our mission?" Ai Jiangtu asked directly, ignoring all that.
Serves you right for glancing around like that!
"Your team leader also asked me to pass on a message to you, telling you to advance to a four-star squad as soon as possible during your time in Donghai City. If you don't achieve that, the things he promised you will be taken away by other countries." The man didn't say anything else and just told you all the information he knew.
"How is this star rating determined?" Ai Jiangtu asked.
Despite the pain, the man revealed the conditions for upgrading to four stars.
After figuring out the situation, the man hurriedly left.
"These Japanese really know how to play games," Zhao Manyan sneered.
Upon hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement.
"These are not our concerns. We've been assigned to the 20th district, which is very close to the 19th district where we encountered the Blue Valley Ferocious Beast," Nan Jue said.
"Who cares? It's just a four-star weapon. Anyway, with Brother Jie here, we'll take it down quickly," Zhao Manyan said.
"Alright, everyone go and rest first. We'll start hunting demons tomorrow," Ai Jiangtu said.
The group dispersed and chose their own rooms.
When Lu Jie woke up in the afternoon, he heard a commotion outside. When he went out to see what was going on, he found Zhao Manyan shouting and yelling.
"What's wrong, Zhao Manyan? Why are you shouting here in the middle of the afternoon?" Lu Jie stretched.
Zhao Manyan then explained the matter of the drowning curse.
After listening to Zhao Manyan's account, Lu Jie said, "Isn't this some kind of parasitic organism?"
"Parasitic creatures!" Jiang Yu adjusted his glasses, revealing his knowledgeable eyes. "That makes sense. Those who were afflicted by the drowning curse may have already died. The parasites control the host's nerves, making them go to the beach, so that the parasites can return to the sea to survive."
Upon hearing this, everyone felt a chill run down their spines; the thought alone was terrifying.
"This has nothing to do with us. The Japanese government hasn't even found out. Even if they had, it's been so long and they haven't done anything about it. Why should we worry about it?" Guan Yu said.
"Yes, after being parasitized, you die without anyone knowing. It's terrifying to think about," Li Kaifeng said.
"Let's focus on tomorrow. I just checked, and the tide has receded quite far this time, which means the high tide tomorrow will be very strong. Everyone should be well prepared," Nan Jue said.
