Ling Ling joined the investigation and revealed a worldwide Hunter Union bounty, leaving the group with leads to pursue and a prize pool worth over three hundred million.

• Ling Ling placed the maggot in seawater and showed that it became nearly impossible to detect, suggesting how it had evaded examinations.

Ling Ling explained that the Drowning Curse came from parasitic Vile Maggots and that they needed a fully grown specimen to develop a vaccine. Lu Wu, Mo Fan, and their companions followed their tracked Vile Maggot out to sea, where it reached a Reef Cave.

• Xin Xia explained that she had come to Egypt for the Parthenon Temple’s annual assessment after a mirage appeared there, and Mu Ningxue said their meeting was a coincidence.
• Lu Wu reasoned that the mirage could make Egyptian undead mistake another area for a pyramid and concluded that he would need demonification to defeat Khufu.

• Lu Wu asked to meet Buyuan, then accused him of placing a curse on Huihui after sensing traces of the same curse in his own soul.
• Buyuan denied cursing Huihui, while Old Wang insisted that an evil mountain god had targeted her and Buyuan had saved her.

Lu Wu exposed Buyuan’s scheme to turn Wang Huihui into his thrall and discovered that Buyuan’s curse was fused with magical energy. After sacrificing Buyuan’s curse, Lu Wu began feeding the curse inside himself with his own magical energy and offered to find a Healing Element mage for Huihui.

• Lu Wu tried to persuade the old man that Wang Huihui could still be saved, but the old man trusted Buyuan and Buyuan objected to Lu Wu calling a Healing Element mage.
• Buyuan realized Lu Wu had been testing him and transformed into a monster covered in curses.
• Lu Wu restrained Buyuan with Little Fire’s dark matter and demanded to know where the curse came from, but Buyuan refused to explain and revealed his plan to make Huihui his thrall.

• Buyuan dried into a corpse after losing his energy and curse, and Lu Wu cremated him before offering to bring a Healing Element mage to assess Huihui.

Nan Rongni could only sustain Wang Huihui, leaving Lu Wu to consider transforming her into a Vampire if her parents agreed. After feeding and sacrificing the curse, Lu Wu freed himself from it and gained Stars Enhancement, stunning Asha'ruiya.
