One week later.
"Although you are the employer, there is no need for you to risk your life and travel with us, right?" Lu Ling asked.
"The road is not particularly dangerous, and I feel that I have an obligation to go with you. Otherwise, the elders in my family may not trust you easily when they see how young you are." Bai Tingting said patiently.
Ling Ling, looking at the little one, if she hadn't taken out the hunter qualification certificate marked with Hunter Master level, Bai Tingting wouldn't have been able to believe that this child who hadn't even awakened to magic turned out to be a more experienced person than many hunters.
As for Lu Ling... it looks a little better than Ling Ling, but not much better. It looks as harmless as Bai Tingting.
"Um... that's quite thoughtful." Lu Ling felt ashamed. This was even a chance to slap himself in the face by pretending to be cool.
At this time, the four of them were on a train bound for Lianyungang City. The destination was also a coastal city, which sounded like a port.
"Part of the business that Bai Family is mainly responsible for is the agency trade of many international families. Many international goods are basically sold through our agency.
The Demon Beast that I want you to help clean up this time is a Sea Monster. It seems to be lurking in the port of the Bai Family. It has attacked our cargo ships many times, and many people have suffered accidents as a result."
Bai Tingting looks so soft and frail, but I didn't expect that he would actually have a deep understanding of family affairs.
Sure enough, people who come from a big family, no matter what, have a heart to inherit the family business.
"How long?" Ling Ling began to collect information.
"It's been half a month."
"During this period, your family didn't send anyone to deal with it?"
"This kind of matter must be left to the combatants of the clan to deal with it as soon as possible, but it caused us Bai Family to lose several veteran Advanced Level mages." Bai Tingting's tone implied regret.
In ordinary families, the number of Master Super Level is not particularly large. The truly powerful backbone is Master Advanced Level.
The status of the veteran Advanced Level mages is no worse than that of military commanders in the army. The loss of many Advanced Levels is undoubtedly a huge loss to the Bai Familys.
"Later, we recruited two hunter teams to hunt monsters, but... both of those two hunter teams also encountered mishaps."
It can be heard that this matter is a big trouble for the Bai Family.
"Is there any information about Sea Monster retained?" Ling Ling asked.
"It's a Azure Giant Demon, at least Commander Level. We can't tell how strong it is."
"The one who can make you lose so many Advanced Level mages and two hunter teams is at least Great Commander."
"Great Commander!?" Bai Tingting took a breath of cold air.
She didn't dare to think about it at this level, and suddenly she regretted it. It seemed that letting Lu Ling solve this problem was a wrong decision!
If Lu Ling encounters something unexpected, how should she face Xin Xia?
"Lu Ling... You must put your own safety first. If you are defeated, you must put your own life first." Bai Tingting said seriously.
"Don't worry, this is the basic quality of a hunter." Lu Ling smiled lightly.
It's just Great Commander, so it's not a troublesome thing. Even if Netherworld doesn't need to take action, he might even be able to kill Minor Monarch now.
An hour later, everyone arrived at the Bai Family's residence in Lianyungang City.
I noticed a middle-aged man, listening to the report with a sad face.
"We have raised the reward amount to 50 million, but still no hunter dares to accept this commission. It seems that it is because the news that the two hunter teams were wiped out has spread, so..."
"Oh, is this port going to be abandoned like this?" Bai Liu'an sighed helplessly.
He knew the fear of those hunters. Everyone cherished their lives. No one was willing to push his life on the edge of the cliff just for this bounty.
Lianyungang Port is not a very big port, and its annual revenue is only a few hundred million.
They can no longer increase the bounty, otherwise this will be a loss-making business. Not to mention the previous loss of Advanced Level mage... The worth of a Advanced Level mage is higher than the annual revenue of Lianyungang.
To say that they are weighing the pros and cons, it is better to say that they are already cutting losses in time.
"Third uncle."
Bai Liu'an looked up and saw Bai Tingting coming one after another. He showed a smile and said.
"Tingting? Why do you have time to come to my place?"
Bai Tingting knew that the situation at this moment was urgent, so he did not be too polite, but directly stated his intention.
"I heard that you are in some trouble here, so I found a more powerful hunter to help."
"Hunter?"
Bai Liu'an looked at the three people behind Bai Tingting with suspicion, two young people with different hair colors, and... is this kid serious?
"I know you have intentions, but you'd better leave. This is not something you can handle. You are still young, so don't risk your life because of this." Bai Liu'an doesn't trust these young people very much.
The previous two groups of experienced Advanced Level hunter teams were all wiped out. What difference does it make between these little brats and going to die?
Bai Tingting was about to explain, but Ling Ling found it troublesome and took out his hunter badge.
"Don't be so hasty in making judgments. Tell us the specific situation first."
"Hunter Master!?"
Bai Liu'an and the person who made the report all showed surprised expressions.
Are you sure this is not a joke? Such a big kid is actually a Hunter Master!
"Uncle Third, they are very powerful. No one will accept this commission anyway, why not try to trust them?"
Bai Tingting thought Bai Liu'an's shocked look was very funny, but she didn't act too exaggerated.
Bai Liu'an was silent, still hesitant in his heart.
But now they seem to have no choice but to choose to believe in the people brought by Bai Tingting.
"... Then let's talk."
Subsequently, Ling Ling's very professional working style increased Bai Liu'an's trust in them by more than half, at least they no longer thought they were just simple kids.
Soon after, Lianyungang port.
Looking far away, you can see an island on the opposite shore, only a few kilometers away. But that is not the area where Safe Zone is located.
"This is our port, and it's currently out of service."
Bai Liu'an took everyone to the port for on-site observation.
"That Azure Giant Demon suddenly appeared half a month ago. When it first appeared, it sank one of our freighters."
They lost not only a cargo ship, but also the lives of more than a dozen crew members. The more Bai Liu'an talked about it, the more regretful he became.
"It seems that Azure Giant Demon should be living on the island opposite." Ling Ling made a preliminary judgment.
"The two hunter teams we found earlier also landed on the opposite island first before making the next plan. Unfortunately, they all died, and some of their bodies floated directly to here on the other side. Sea Monster is so insidious and cunning that we still don't know where he is hiding or when he will make a sneak attack."
Bai Liu'an shook his head, turned around and asked.
"Do you want to go to the other side? I can provide a boat."
"No need to bother." Lu Ling smiled faintly, and at the same time, the white moon and stars shone with endless light.
"Roar!!!"
