Zujiming sneered, but the two ignored him.
"You're no good at this either, Lao Lu. You can't even handle a water battle?" Mo Fan and Lu Jie put their arms around each other's shoulders, making Mu Nujiao, who was standing next to them, a little jealous.
"Hey, if I had ice or water type, I could probably win in water battles," Lu Jie said.
The two talked, completely ignoring the clown Zujimin, which annoyed him greatly.
There were several pretty girls in the team, but Mu Ningxue had some lingering relationship with Mo Fan, and Mu Nujiao and Lu Jie were clearly a couple. How could he not be jealous?
So, whenever he had the chance, he would make some comments to criticize them, but his comments were like stones sinking into the sea, not even making a ripple.
The group continued their journey by boat.
"We're quite far from the mainland now. There are many deserted islands around here. If we pass those two deserted islands ahead, we should be able to see the rocky island where they encountered the siren."
As expected of a military academy graduate, Ai Jiangtu and Nan Jue were different from the other undisciplined team members. They were almost always thinking about how to deal with the siren.
According to Lin Junxian's description, a group of sea monsters inhabits this place. Currently, no one knows their own strength or whether they can deal with a group of sea monsters.
Most importantly, there aren't many people in the team who are skilled in naval warfare, and since this is the ocean, their combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced.
"Then let's set up camp there, and after we've made all the necessary arrangements, we can consider whether or not to use the Demon Gathering Device," Nan Jue suggested.
"That's impossible. We don't know how many sirens there are. If there are tens of thousands, we'll be surrounded and killed." Ai Jiangtu directly rejected Nan Jue's proposal.
"Since it's a race, there must be a leader-level sea monster. Let's not do something so risky," Ai Jiangtu said.
Nan Jue nodded. That was indeed the case. The Demon Gathering Device was highly efficient, and it was also a prohibited item. So she had Lin Junxian prepare a few. However, Lin Junxian had many connections and was able to get his hands on such a prohibited item.
The group arrived at the rocky island, which, as its name suggests, had nothing but rocks.
The island is quite large; it would take a normal person one or two hours to walk around it.
There were still quite a few things on it, such as tattered tents, broken medicine boxes, and shredded clothing, which were probably left behind by the team that came to exterminate the demon last time.
"Look at this claw mark! The claws of this kind of siren must be at least this long!" Jiang Yu observed more carefully and immediately noticed the mark on a rock.
It was indeed a claw mark, cutting directly from the two-meter-high rock to the middle, leaving three sharp cuts in the rock, which also indicated that the siren had three claws.
"Can you identify what kind of siren it is?" Ai Jiangtu asked.
"Three claws, crimson... This kind of sea monster is quite rare, at least it's not in our demon books, but I guess this should be the Crimson Ling Demon," Jiang Yu said.
"We've never heard of the Crimson Demon before. Before we fight them, we need to figure out their abilities and what deadly tricks their higher forms have," said Mu Tingying, who had brown hair.
"To be honest, it's not easy to find information about these sea monsters online. As for their specific abilities, we can only analyze them based on the information Lin Junxian provided. In short, we can confirm one thing: they are not highly venomous, but their claws are extremely sharp."
"Their feet seem unusually large, and there's a footprint here," Mu Nujiao said to the others after discovering something.
"There's some dried, ash-like stuff here. It should be what the information says. After they vomit their gastric juices, they react with the air and quickly form a gel that sticks people to them," Nan Jue said.
After a thorough analysis, everyone quickly deduced some of the Crimson Demon's abilities.
However, while they were analyzing, Lu Jie and Mo Fan had already returned with about ten Crimson Demons.
Everyone was stunned.
"Um... is the thing that Brother Jie and Mo Fan caught the Crimson Demon that you guys analyzed?" Zhao Manyan asked timidly when everyone was stunned.
It took Jiang Yu a while to come to his senses. Once they were closer, he said, "It's this thing. Where did you catch it?"
"Holy crap, did you two go and wipe out the entire Crimson Demon lair?" Zhao Manyan looked at the live Crimson Demons and his anus tightened in fright.
Good heavens! So many Crimson Demons, and they were even captured alive! Only these two would be so bold.
Although Ai Jiangtu and Nan Jue were dissatisfied with these undisciplined people, they didn't say anything. Just the fact that they had captured these ten Crimson Demons alive, including three large warrior-level ones, showed their strength.
"Heh, these things are nothing special. Old Lu and I can easily handle them." Mo Fan said rather smugly, as if he had captured these Crimson Demons all by himself.
However, Lu Jie did not speak. He used his mind to create a sword and directly slashed open the belly of a general-level Crimson Demon. The cut revealed the leg of a human cub.
In an instant, what was revealed inside caused Mo Fan's expression to change drastically.
"Aaaaaah!!!"
Mu Tingying, who was standing at the front, screamed in fright after seeing what was inside the Crimson Demon's stomach.
Mu Tingying's scream startled everyone. When they looked, they saw the corpse of a human infant floating in the air, and their expressions changed drastically.
The girls all turned their backs, too angry to look anymore, while the men were all burning with rage.
The infant was swallowed whole. It hadn't been long since the Chi Ling Demon swallowed it, and although its flesh was corroded by stomach acid, it was still relatively well preserved overall.
This is simply unacceptable!
How could there be a baby in the stomach of this Crimson Demon?
Could it be that this sirens recently attacked a village and swallowed the baby?
Ai Jiangtu walked over, took the baby in his hands, and slowly walked towards the sea to clean the filth off the baby.
The baby is dead; he died of suffocation.
"Swallowed alive, still alive in the stomach," Ai Jiangtu said coldly after cleaning the infant.
The baby's eyes were open, which indicates that he was still alive when he was swallowed.
"Captain, please stop talking..." The girls felt like throwing up from listening.
"There's one more here," Mo Fan said.
Everyone turned their heads and, sure enough, Mo Fan was also holding a child covered in gastric fluid. The child looked to be two or three years old, with skin that was basically rotten, as if the skin had been peeled off, which made people's scalps tingle.
"Give it to me." Ai Jiangtu handed the cleaned baby to Mo Fan, and then took the child from his arms.
They carefully washed him, but the child's body was so corroded that no matter how they washed him, he still looked grotesque.
"Bury it."
"I'll do it. It'll be better to purify them with Radiance."
