Despite being unwilling, the people of the Donghai Magic Association still set out for the Wuyuan Bay after taking a quick rest.

When they arrived at Wuyuan Bay, Mo Fan studied the estuary and confirmed that it was connected to the strait, just as Lingling had mentioned. Most importantly, the strait was extremely close to the open waters. Some bays did not necessarily face the sea. Many bays had lands and cities on the opposite side. Even though opposite Wuyuan Bay was the Xiang’an District, a landed area, the vast ocean was to the east of the bay, the same direction the fierce storm was approaching from.

The storm at Wuyuan Bay was even stronger. The trees and street lamps had all been knocked to the ground. The vegetation, wetlands, and bridges had been devoured by the rolling waves too. As they looked further into the distance, they saw several waterspouts spinning on the ocean. They were like gray-white serpents that seemed to be protecting something.

“Lingling, I think you’re right; this place is too dangerous!” Mo Fan felt uneasy when he saw the waterspouts outside the bay.

“It looks like we came just in time!” Lingling glanced at the strait between the bay and the sea.

Zhang Lulin and Zhang Xin were with Mo Fan. They were carefully treating Mo Fan as their senior now and being very respectful around him.

Zhang Xin was a shameless middle-aged Mage. He asked with a puzzled look, “I don’t see anything. Why does senior say this place is very dangerous?”

“Yeah, I don’t see any movement of sea monsters apart from the storm. It looks pretty normal to me,” Zhang Lulin agreed.

“I bet you two rarely hunt demon creatures in the wild. You don’t have to see demon creatures to tell they are about to attack... Have you heard of something called Auras? They aren’t necessarily a smell or a wind. They are a unique presence of the demon creatures, which might be mixed with their smell and breath. It can send chills down a person’s spine... Have you ever experienced the fear of the bugs suddenly falling silent when you’re in a jungle?” Mo Fan explained from where he was standing in front of the bay.

“Yeah, of course, senior, I understand what you’re saying. It’s an Aura only high-level demon creatures possess, a naturally intimidating Aura that will make their prey panic,” Zhang Xin nodded. Mo Fan had explained it clearly!

“So you’re saying you’ve picked up the Auras of high-level creatures from the Wuyuan Bay?” Zhang Lulin asked seriously.

“No, there’s no Aura here,” Mo Fan said.

“...” Zhang Lulin and Zhang Xin were left speechless. What exactly was the senior trying to tell them?

“So if there’s no Aura, it means the place is safe?” Shen Qing asked.

“No, it’s not safe at all!” Mo Fan immediately shook his head.

“...Senior, please be more straightforward,” Zhang Lulin said impatiently.

Lingling began to explain in a serious tone, “Only creatures of certain levels will possess the Aura that Mo Fan mentioned, but it’s not exactly rare among the demon creatures. The ones that are stronger and more terrifying are capable of something else: the ability to conceal their presence and Aura!”

Lingling and Mo Fan were Seven Star Hunters. They could easily tell if a pond or a mountain had demon creatures in them at a glance. It was a trait of experienced Hunters!

Zhang Lulin, Zhang Xin, and Shen Qing were still confused, but Mo Fan had taken a step forward, like the string of a bow being extended. He was preparing himself for battle, but the problem was, there was nothing in front of him apart from the restless water in the bay. Was he going to challenge the storm?

“They have concealed their presence in order to sneak through the estuary into the bay. I might not be able to see them, but I can feel they are observing us under the water!” Mo Fan straightened his face as he was speaking.

Zhang Lulin still did not believe Mo Fan’s claim. He went forward and found a destroyed bridge. Its steps were shaking from the wind, but he could still use them as stepping stones.

The rain was pouring down heavily. When Zhang Lulin approached the water, a shadow moved past him like a spirit. It was less than ten meters away from Zhang Lulin, yet the man was unaware of it. The shadow did not attack him, remaining hidden in the water.

“I still don’t see anything,” Zhang Lulin said after checking the area.

“Is that so? I guess I’ll have to beat the grass to scare the snake then,” Mo Fan randomly came up with an idiom.

He flipped his hand and produced a lightning orb like a stone on his hand. He had compressed his Lightning Magic and stored the energy into the orb.

He tossed the lightning orb into the air. A dazzling lightning bolt suddenly swept through the sky that was currently dominated by the wind and rain.

The lightning bolt seemed to have activated some kind of switch. More lightning arcs began to appear from different directions. The lightning arcs soon combined into a weapon diagram in the dark sky before striking at the seemingly calm surface of the lake in the Wuyuan Bay!

The water splashed wildly as the lightning went a dozen meters deep and lit up the bottom of the lake.

The lightning flickers under the water immediately reflected the shadows of the sea monsters like a black and white film. The shadows were stacked on top of one another, extending from the bay to the estuary. There were hundreds of them. The lake looked like it was having serious congestion issues!

Shen Qing, Zhang Xin, and Zhang Lulin were standing too close to the lake. They immediately held their breaths after witnessing the ghastly sight!

A lake that was currently experiencing a storm had so many sea monsters hiding in it. Even an army would struggle to hold them back if they all came on land!

“They...they are all in the water!” Zhang Xin staggered and almost fell to the ground.

They had concealed their presence!

They were sneaking under the water!

They were waiting for more of their comrades to arrive...
