Tracking (Bonus Chapter)

Bobby was actually in a dilemma. He originally wanted to stomp the thing to death, but who knew he would become the bodyguard of the enemy who killed his two brothers.

However, reason told Bobby that the highly intelligent little girl was right; it was pointless to crush this one Drowning Curse Vile Maggot, and they had to find a way to break the global Drowning Curse.

In this way, even his poor brother can find comfort in heaven, right?

Upon hearing this, Tang Miao said very seriously, "Let me tell you, this is a dangerous thing. If you go with it, and this thing parasitizes a Demon Beast of the Commander Level or Monarch Level, that would be a terrible disaster. You should think carefully!"

After hearing what Tang Miao said, Bobby pursed his lips and then said, "Don't worry, I won't take the bounty. I just want to comfort my brother."

Although the clues came from dissecting his brother, he was still someone the other person had brought in, so he had no reason to get a share of the spoils. Besides, all he wanted from beginning to end was to know how his brother had died!

We can't let everything remain so unclear!

Mu Ningxue and Ling Ling didn't say anything about Tang Miao's behavior, after all, this was the Tang Miao they knew.

At this moment, Ling Ling was staring at the computer, spoke up, "It has already swum more than a kilometer out of the sea. This is still the Safe Zone Sea, so there shouldn't be any Demon Beast here. Once we leave the Safe Zone Sea, we need to be on high alert at all times."

Upon hearing this, Bobby immediately said, "I'll go prepare a speedboat; you all wait for me at the beach."

Not long after, Bobby found a speedboat. The four of them quickly boarded a speedboat and sped off in the direction Ling Ling had pointed, chasing after the Drowning Curse Vile Maggot.

The Drowning Curse Vile Maggot wasn't particularly fast; their ship maintained a distance of less than 500 meters from it. If it were to dive into the deep sea, Bobby, Water Element mage, would also dive down with it.

Bobby is a water-based Water Element, an ordinary mid-level Water Element Intermediate Mage without even Spirit Seed, but he is clearly very familiar with water, making him the perfect companion to closely follow the Drowning Curse Vile Maggot.

Although Tang Miao is not weak in water combat, he is not good at diving into the deep sea. Frozen waters are his style.

But even this weakling would be instantly killed if he froze it. The specimen would be gone in an instant, so he had no choice but to wait on the ship.

Of course, Tang Miao wasn't idle either, after all, Mu Ningxue was sitting next to him. If he just sat there quietly, would he still be himself?

Although Mu Ningxue didn't reject Tang Miao's advances, she still felt somewhat resistant because Ling Ling was right there!

Ling Ling, however, was focused on the computer screen and had no interest in observing Tang Miao. She only occasionally glared at him angrily when he kicked her in the butt.

Both women were furious at Tang Miao's shamelessness! At the same time, they were afraid he would find out about their embarrassing actions, so they pretended nothing had happened...

During this time, Tang Miao reported to Ai Jiangtu, having learned the whole story, strongly supported him in doing this.

Of course, Tang Miao didn't mention the reward at all!

The National Team were stunned when they heard the news from Ai Jiangtu. They simply couldn't believe that Tang Miao was capable of such a thing! They knew that this scoundrel was always driven by self-interest.

Even Mu Nujiao and Jiang Shaoxu thought that this scoundrel was probably off on a romance adventure with Mu Ningxue.

Regardless, the two of them could only grumble inwardly. After all, they couldn't possibly go to Tang Miao right now!

Especially Mu Nujiao, she declared that she would ignore this scoundrel. Of course, she was just saying one thing and meaning another.

Tang Miao didn't care what they thought. After telling Ai Jiangtu, she focused on spending time with the two women.

During their journey following the specimen, they naturally encountered some troubles. However, Mu Ningxue easily resolved them all. Watching Mu Ningxue swim beautifully, Tang Miao felt a strong urge to... "hehe"!

Unfortunately, the location didn't allow it, so he had to give up.

Of course, he wasn't filming himself, and for that reason, he received a cold shoulder from Ling Ling.

The sky was a light blue, but the ocean was gradually deepening, and one could sense that this stretch of ocean was somewhat unusual.

Looking around, Mu Ningxue said softly, "Why is the seawater nearby getting darker and darker?"

No one responded to what Mu Ningxue said.

Tang Miao was unfamiliar with the ocean, while Bobby was so tired that he didn't want to talk...

As for Ling Ling, her eyes were fixed on the computer screen as she said, "The Vile Maggot has already undergone one transformation. It must have gained a lot of benefits when it encountered those Sea Monster before."

Tang Miao hugged Mu Ningxue, warming her up as she said, "It's all thanks to our good protection; otherwise, it would have turned to dust just now."

Ling Ling nodded in agreement.

Just then, Bobby looked into the distance and hurriedly said, "There seems to be a reef ahead."

People who frequently spend time at the beach can identify hidden reefs through experience.

As the speedboat drew closer, Tang Miao discovered that the reef was actually quite large, essentially an island completely covered by seawater.

The seawater wasn't very deep; when the ship got close enough, Tang Miao could even jump right up and stand there, the water only reaching about knee-deep.

"This looks like a Reef Cave," Bobby said after observing it carefully.

Seeing that Tang Miao and Mu Ningxue were somewhat confused, Bobby continued to explain, "Many marine creatures actually need a nest similar to a cave, rock cave, or burrow. In certain places, sea reefs will form a large area, resembling an island, but unlike islands, they are not exposed above the water. Instead, they are completely hidden underwater. These naturally formed, huge reef islands often become the nests of Demon Beast, or even the nests of Demon Beast of different races. Therefore, we also call these places 'Sea Monster Fortress'."

Tang Miao and Mu Ningxue nodded subconsciously, looking like they were never too old to learn.

Ling Ling, as if she knew everything, said, "This Reef Cave is quite large. There's probably a large group of Sea Monster fast asleep about 500 meters underwater. Let's be careful and not wake them."

Mu Ningxue rested her chin on her hand and said, "That Vile Maggot came here to find the most suitable form to evolve into, right? I imagine there must be a very powerful Sea Monster race in this kind of place. If it can parasitize the body of that Sea Monster, it will become extremely powerful!"

P. S.: I've accumulated several 10,000-yuan rewards recently, so I'll stay up late tonight and add an extra chapter. Thank you!
