Chapter 123 Setting Sail to Subdue Demons
After walking for a long time, they finally arrived at the bay the old man had mentioned.
The bay is quite beautiful, but due to planning issues, many areas are overgrown with weeds.
"This is the port you're looking for," Liu Meng said, pointing to the Haihe River that extends from the sea into the city.
This port of Asuka is clearly an important trade hub, with many large ships sailing by. The Haihe River is also very wide, leading directly to the vast ocean, and looking further inland, it seems to stretch even deeper into the interior...
"This Haihe River is quite large. Logically speaking, this city should be approaching the size of a large city, but it looks a bit cramped," Zhao Manyan said.
As a member of the Zhao Group, Zhao Manyan could often see through things that were related to development and financial success at a glance.
This port is actually perfect. Whether it's the river routes leading inland or the sea route leading to the ocean, it meets the most essential needs for maritime transport, and ships of all classes can dock there.
Logically speaking, with such a port, Asuka City should be very prosperous, but what they saw along the way was far from the prosperity that a coastal city should have.
"I guess the municipal administration is just so-so," Mo Fan said.
"Impossible. Such a good port couldn't possibly have poor municipal conditions. If I had the funds, I would invest immediately just for this port, and it would be a big investment. I would buy the land, and even if it took more than ten years, I would definitely make a fortune in three to five years. I could even buy the entire city." Zhao Manyan said seriously.
"Tsk tsk, no wonder they're from the Zhao Group, buying an entire city outright," said the beastly man, Zu Jiming.
This beastly man may look big and burly, but he's actually quite narrow-minded and petty. There always seems to be something about him that he can't stand, like this Zhao Manyan.
"Business opportunities? If you don't understand, don't spout nonsense. Use your brain more often." Zhao Manyan sneered, his eyes full of disdain for Zu Jiming.
"Enough talk. Let's go to the port and ask if there are any ships going to Japan," Ai Jiangtu said.
"Having a boat is useless; others can't possibly not check our identities," Zujiming retorted.
"Beast Man, use your brain more often. There are bound to be problems in such a big port that others can't solve. If we help them solve them, we can just talk and they'll send us to Japan for free," Mo Fan laughed.
He was a hunter, and based on what Liu Meng said, he roughly judged that this city was definitely lacking skilled hunter masters or hired mages.
They have neither identity nor money now, but all they have is magic. The best thing for them to do is help others solve their problems, and then everything will be easier to resolve.
"You make it sound so easy. Who would be so kind as to send us to Japan? Smuggling is a crime, and besides, I have a name," Zu Jiming retorted.
"That's why I always say to use your brain more." Mo Fan smiled nonchalantly.
Zu Jiming was a rather rugged-looking man, not only narrow-minded but also not very bright.
Zu Jiming snorted coldly.
"Let's go, let's go to the port first."
……
Everyone arrived in Asuka City and entered the Forest Trade Building.
Under Zhao Manyan's persuasion, the secretary still took them to meet her boss, Lin Junxian.
"I hope you won't waste my time. The creatures roaming the sea off Asuka City are a group of sea monsters. There were some signs of this seven or eight years ago, and their numbers have started to increase rapidly in recent years. The city has sent people to hunt them down, but with little effect!"
Lin Junxian stared sharply at the group of seemingly young mages.
In his view, these mages were all too young, and their experience and knowledge were not as great as those of the hunter mages.
Lin Junxian was from a prominent family. Although he knew nothing about magic, he knew that dealing with demons relied on brains, real combat experience, and practical skills, not on flashy mage badges!
"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. Just give us all the information you have about the siren, and prepare some necessary items. Then, sit in this elegant office and wait quietly with your secretary," Jiang Shaoxu said with exceptional confidence.
"Fine, your requests are no requests to me, but I have to tell you that this is not something I asked you to do. If your parents, the forces behind them, or the school want to pursue this, please don't point your finger at me. This investment has failed, but I still want my reputation," Lin Junxian said.
……
Lin Junxian was generous, arranging for them to stay at a hotel in this building and having someone prepare things for them to hunt demons.
When hunting monsters, the most important thing is medicine; you need to bring many kinds of antidotes alone.
Poison doesn't only come from demons; there are also poisonous environments, such as swamps and fog, where poison can permeate.
Even some plants are highly toxic.
In response, Lu Jie said, "Go ahead and come. If your noble horse collapses from exhaustion, then I'll admit you're amazing!"
……
After everything was prepared, they set sail to subdue the demon.
Beyond Asuka City lies a sea area dotted with numerous uninhabited islands.
Previously, these islands were considered ecological islands and included within the Anjie area for tourists who liked pristine environments to enjoy. However, after the incident, these uninhabited islands were never developed again, and thus became the territory of demons.
On the slightly murky sea, a white cruise ship slowly sailed away, gradually moving away from the designated safe zone.
"The last time they attacked the sea monsters, they arrived at this island. While resting here, they were ambushed by the sea monsters and suffered heavy losses," Ai Jiangtu said, pointing to an island on the sea map.
"So that means that's where the sirens 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 all doomed," Jiang Yu said.
Jiang Yu wore round-framed glasses, had a fair complexion, and looked like a very knowledgeable person.
The Azure Scale Sea Demon he mentioned is the most ferocious and vicious race among sea demons. This creature has not appeared in the Kyushu seas for some years, but it can still be seen occasionally in Japan.
"It's crimson, it can't be the Azure Scaled Sea Demon," Nan Jue said.
"That must be the Crimson Demon. Speaking of which, I'm not very good at water combat. If we non-water mages get dragged into the water, wouldn't we be doomed?" Jiang Yu said.
"I'm not very good at water combat either," Mo Fan said, sounding rather eccentric.
"I didn't expect anything from you as a substitute anyway," Zujiming glanced at him and said indifferently.
Mo Fan ignored him and looked at Lu Jie, asking, "Old Lu, how was your water battle?"
"Me? I don't know, I'll have to try to find out," Lu Jie said.
"Oh."
