Chapter 28: Big Waves, Crisis
Chapter 28: Big Waves, Crisis
……
Faced with this scene, several people were silent for a while.
However, someone's mind was racing, his eyes flashed with brilliance from time to time, and it was obvious that he was secretly planning something.
However, Mo Yingge paid attention and did not see the stall owner, Old Zhang, and she couldn't help but feel a chill in her heart. She didn't think that Old Zhang would die early. As a guide, who would believe him if he said he didn't know anything?
"Where's Old Zhang? Is he dead?"
"That's impossible. Old Zhang is a veteran mid-level magician, but I haven't seen him for a long time."
Some people remembered something, while others were confused. It was obvious that Mo Yingge was not the only "smart guy".
"Come over here, girl, let's discuss the aftermath!"
Mo Yingge was called over and became a little wary, but luckily no one did anything tricky.
"Now how to do?"
Someone made a sound, but Mo Yingge saw that his eyes were fixed on the corpse of the red-scaled fish monster. As for the wizards who were traveling with him, there were still many people present, and there had to be a bottom line for some things.
Of course, if he was the only one left, or if everyone reached a consensus, that would be a different story.
A complete body of a general-level demon is enough to sell for several million, and even if a group of people share one of them, they can still make a lot of money.
Add to that some other things, such as the corpse of the giant gray-scale fish in the water, and the bones and essences dug out, this trip was already a huge profit, and I was quite satisfied to return home.
"Everyone, pack up your valuables and go back to divide the money. As for their bodies," an old hunter mage spoke up. He was the ice mage from before. He was silent for a moment, then said, "Hey, find their hunter ID cards and take them with you."
"it is good."
Everyone naturally agreed, as this was an unspoken rule among demon hunters. When they went out, demon hunters would carry a special metal plate engraved with their identity information. If they unfortunately died in the wild, the people traveling with them could take his identity card back with them as an explanation. After all, sometimes it was not easy to carry a corpse, so bringing back a card was the most they could do, and they could not expect too much from others.
Of course, most of the time, people are in such a state that they are lucky enough to be able to pick up a brand.
People often pick up someone else's "lost" ID card in the wild, and in most cases they will just pick it up and bring it back to the Hunter Alliance to make them feel at ease. After all, they never know when something might happen to them, and if someone brings the ID card back at that time, it can be regarded as a memory for their family.
"No, why is the lake water still rising?!" someone suddenly asked in surprise.
Mo Yingge observed and found that the lake water was indeed rising, and the speed was getting faster and faster!
"No, leave quickly!"
The old ice mage immediately noticed something, his face changed, and he ran for his life, not caring about anything else.
Some people followed the old wizard, some didn't understand why, and some would never give up such wealth that was within their reach. Even if they realized something was wrong, they still dismembered the body of the red-scaled fish monster and were determined to take part of it away.
Mo Yingge also sensed that a greater crisis was approaching and ran away without hesitation.
"Wind Track·Speed!"
Not only do you have to run, you have to run fast!
Huge waves rose up and the earth seemed to be shaking.
Mo Yingge turned her head and was horrified to find that the peninsula had been submerged by the lake.
"A peerless demon is coming!" The old ice wizard said with shock on his face, his hand touching his beard still shaking slightly.
"What do you know, old man?"
It’s a good habit to ask if you don’t understand, Mo Yingge asked.
Seeing that they had already run a distance and the lake water could not affect them, the old ice mage considered for a while and said: "I have been working in Pengli Lake for so many years, so I am well-informed. Many years ago, I have seen similar situations.
At that time, a terrifying commander-level demon came ashore from the lake, and the huge waves it created submerged the nearby outpost village. Fortunately, the military mages fought desperately, so I was able to survive."
The old wizard fell into deep thought, recalling events from many years ago. The past seemed to be vivid in his mind. Is he going to suffer again this time?
I should have died a long time ago, but I just can't sit still and want to leave some money for my descendants, but I'm afraid I can't leave today.
"Kid, you have wind magic. Go back and inform the people in the outpost village, tell them to leave quickly and request the military mages to come!"
The old wizard called Mo Yingge, with sadness in his eyes, took off an old metal plate, stuffed it into Mo Yingge's hand, and turned back.
Mo Yingge was confused and held the metal plate tightly with her hand.
"Let's go, what are you waiting for, run!" There were two people urging Mo Yingge. It was not because of good intentions, but mainly because they wanted Mo Yingge to give them a ride on the wind track.
Mo Yingge couldn't bear to look back, so he just kept running.
The sky is gloomy and it looks like it's going to rain.

"This is the Changlin City Health Department. How can I help you?"
"..."
"What?! Are you sure? I'll be there right away."
"Report to the commander, there are huge waves in the northwest corner of Juchao Lake, and a hunter has sent a message that it is suspected that a commander-level demon has landed!"
"How is it possible? Do those guys know what a commander is? If they are really commander-level monsters, would anyone be alive?" The middle-aged military commander Liu Shengchang slammed the table in anger, puffed his beard and glared, "What are you waiting for? Go and gather your forces, ask the Sky Eagle Unit to go first and provide support. Find out the situation. What are you standing there for? Go, go!"
Liu Shengchang looked at the messenger in a daze and was very angry. He waved his hands and told him to get out.
Normally he had a pretty good temper, but right now he had no other thoughts at all.
If a commander-level demon really came ashore, how many residents along the lake would be harmed, and how many fertile fields would be barren!
"Huh~" He forced himself to calm down. The news was still uncertain, so he hoped it was just a false alarm.
"Connect me to the Northwest Division of Juchao Lake. I want to know the specific situation of Peng and his men!" Liu Shengchang pondered for a while. If it was really a commander-level monster, how could they, a small local army, defeat it?
The Ministry of Health could not resist. There was not a single high-level magician in the entire ministry, and even he himself was only at the mid-to-intermediate level.
After all, they are not the local city's health department, but a regulatory department established to facilitate the management of the North Shore Lake.
Rubbing his temples, Liu Shengchang was worried about the losses caused by this crisis, but at the same time he felt a little anxious.
If a commander-level demon really appears, and I make some contributions, then becoming a high-level wizard will be just around the corner!
Crisis, crisis, it is both danger and opportunity!
