"By the sea?" Kong Yue repeated, somewhat puzzled.
"That's right, by the sea." Yan Dao nodded. "For some reason, the temperature there suddenly plummeted, and a week ago the whole area froze over. The ice covers at least seven or eight hundred meters. The nearby fishermen and residents can't live there anymore, so they've all evacuated. It's a very strange phenomenon, so the local authorities got involved, but they haven't found anything either. Non-sorcerers can't even get close, so they suspect a Cursed Womb is gestating beneath the ice."
"An ice sheet covering six or seven hundred meters can't possibly be caused by an ordinary Cursed Spirit or Cursed Womb. It might even produce a Special Grade. I just find it strange that this is happening by the sea." Zhang Yiyi voiced her doubts.
"That's the problem. If you can guess that, so can they. If there's a Special Grade Cursed Womb in there, ordinary organizations and groups won't risk going to exorcise it, no matter how high the reward is." Yan Dao rubbed his chin. "As for why it's by the sea, that's baffling. Curses like this are extremely rare."
Lin Ran thought it over. "I don't think it's that simple. It could be very dangerous over there."
It was a gut feeling. He didn't know whether a Cursed Spirit's strength had anything to do with its element. At the very least, he'd never encountered one like this.
By elements, he meant things like metal, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, and lightning. Ordinary curses couldn't possibly be connected to those, but this one was by the sea and beneath a layer of ice. Clearly, it had gestated in connection with water and ice. Its strength was impossible to determine.
The others understood that without Lin Ran having to say
