Chapter 135. Forget everything, just go for it.
In the heart of Asuka City stands a magnificent twin tower built entirely of diamond glass. This is the headquarters of the renowned Lin Group in Asuka City. It can be said that they have built half of the new buildings in the city, making them veritable city tycoons!
And the place Zhao Manyan brought them to was naturally this place.
Zhao Manyan's idea was simple, yet it directly grasped the key points.
The city's desolation clearly indicates something is going on. Even someone like him, who doesn't pay much attention to business, can see the opportunity. There's no reason the local merchants wouldn't.
Therefore, coming here to find the biggest businessmen is bound to help you find the problem.
Soon, under Zhao Manyan's guidance and persuasion, they met with the head of the Lin Group.

"I hope you won't waste my time. There is a group of sea monsters roaming the sea around Asuka City. There were some signs seven or eight years ago, and their numbers have started to grow wildly in recent years. The city has also sent some hunters to exterminate them, but the effect has been minimal!" Lin Junxian stared sharply at the group of mages who all looked very young.
In Lin Junxian's view, this group of people was more like a group of college students going out for training. Some students from magic high schools were very strong, but in fact they were not as strong as the hunters of the Hunter Association, mainly because they had serious problems with experience and knowledge.
Soon, they arrived at the rocky island, which, as its name suggests, had nothing but rocks.
"Let's search around and take a look," Mo Fan said.
After everything was ready, they rested for a day, and the group set off the next day.
"You don't need to worry about these things. Since we dared to take on this job, we are naturally confident. You don't need to question us so much now. Just give us all the information you have about the siren, help us prepare some necessary things, and then sit in this elegant office with your female secretary and wait for our news." Seemingly being looked down upon, Jiang Shaoxu immediately retorted.
Ai Jiangtu originally wanted to discuss it, but Mo Fan had no intention of getting involved.
In this world, poisonous things are not just demons; similarly, some special plants also contain toxins.
"These are all outstanding students from various academies. If they don't even have the strength to deal with a few minor demons, how can they have the nerve to continue following along?" Mo Fan said.
In fact, these reefs are very unwanted, as they can easily cause cargo ships to run aground. However, due to economic depression, no one has come to clear these obstacles for a long time.
Lin Junxian was generous and arranged for the thirteen of them to stay in the hotel in this building, and also had people prepare some essential items for their demon-slaying trip.
Mo Fan waved his hand.
However, with Liu Meng, who was familiar with the situation in this sea area, they did not encounter any trouble even in this maritime situation.
The medicines were collected quickly, and all the necessary instruments were put into the backpack. Food and water were also readily available, and they were all the kind that could be stored for a relatively long time.
When going out to hunt demons, the most important thing is medicine; you need to bring a dozen or twenty kinds of antidotes alone.
To defeat demons, you need brains, experience, and real combat skills, not those flashy mage-level badges!
Ai Jiangtu opened his mouth, but for a moment he was unable to refute it.
She believed in Mo Fan's abilities, but he couldn't always fight like a reckless brute.
According to Mo Fan, this is not Wei Fang after all. No matter how meticulous your plans are, you can't withstand someone like me who doesn't follow the arrangements and messes things up.
The sea and the inland are quite different. Inland security zones can at least be set up with sentry posts, relay stations, and fortresses to block important locations and prevent demons from having the opportunity to infiltrate. In the ocean, the so-called security zones are just a few sea towers with a few military mages watching over them, which do not constitute a real defense line.
This time we've run into a big scoundrel, so of course we'll try to rip him off as much as we can.
Lin Junxian was from a prominent family. Although he knew nothing about magic, he understood that being a mage did not mean he could exterminate demons. Moreover, it was a sea monster clan. Without a mage legion, venturing in rashly could result in total annihilation!
"Don't worry about that. We're here to solve problems, not to die," Mo Fan said.
Fortunately, sea monsters are not particularly frequent along the coast, and most coastal cities and counties can ensure safety with only a small number of troops.
"What are you afraid of? Follow me, and we'll kill any demon," Mo Fan said.
"Isn't it inappropriate for us to be searching around so openly?" Ai Jiangtu couldn't help but say.
"Fine, your requests are no requests to me at all, but I must first tell you what you're going to do. This is not something I asked you to do. If your parents, the school, or the forces behind them want to pursue something, then please don't point fingers at me. This investment has failed, but I still want my reputation," Lin Junxian said.
But Lin Junxian's words provided them with a sufficient opportunity.
Ai Jiangtu and Nan Jue were both speechless at the time.
But it cannot be denied that Mo Fan is right. They are all graduates of universities, so it is impossible that they cannot even deal with a few minor demons.
Knowing exactly who the other person was, he simply couldn't be bothered to listen to any of this.
"It's crimson, it can't be the Azure Scale Sea Demon," Nan Jue said, based on the information he had gathered.
The list of medicines was compiled by Nan Jue. The reason she wanted so many was because they were currently penniless.
"So that means that's where the sirens most often appear. Speaking of which, what kind of sirens are they? If they're Azure Scale Sirens, then we should head back. If these things have a clan, we're probably doomed," Jiang Yu said.
"During their last demon-slaying expedition, they reached this rocky island. While resting there at night, they were ambushed by sea monsters and suffered heavy losses," Ai Jiangtu said, pointing to an island on the map.
Of course, you don't need that many just to deal with the siren.
Whether it's magical artifacts or anything else, they always have some trump cards up their sleeves.
On the slightly murky sea, a white ship was slowly sailing away, gradually moving away from the designated safe zone.
After passing through Anjie, it wasn't long before we saw some strangely scattered reefs on the ocean. These reefs were nothing more than exposed rocks that had been scorched by the sun and wind for who knows how many years, and they had been polished to a smooth surface.
"."
The island is fairly spacious, but it would take a normal person at most one or two hours to walk around it.
Asuka City is likely an exception; sea monsters have been frequently appearing in this area.
In short, once we've cleaned up these sirens, we can move on to the next stop. Knowing that is enough.
