Chapter 419 This is a scam! Are they taking advantage of me because I didn't download an anti-f
The sky is vast and the wilderness boundless—no, it should be described as a clear blue sky and endless waters, with the constant roar of the waves echoing in one's ears.
White waves continuously lapped against the continuous coastal reefs, not the kind of raging, crashing waves, but rather like the waves teasing and playing with the coastal reefs.
Beside the rugged reefs is a small beach, and a few fishermen's wooden boats float on the sea. They are the kind of simple old wooden boats with nothing but oars.
These wooden boats may seem rudimentary and dirty to city dwellers, but for the fishing village here, they are the guarantee of their families' livelihood. The waves constantly crash against the reefs on the shore, making them particularly unruly, forcing the fishermen living here to tie them to wooden stakes on the shore with ropes.
A few discordant complaints echoed between the fishing village and the beach; it was Mo Fan complaining about the stinginess of the National Team.
"Mo Fan, calm down. Many of the people in the group are from the Imperial Capital Academy!" Zhao Manyan whispered to Mo Fan.
"How can you expect me to stay calm? We're the Nationalist team, meant to represent our country and bring glory to our nation. But they haven't given us a single penny of funding. Not only do they not provide us with dedicated planes, cars, or hotels, but they've also frozen all of our bank accounts."
"Not only that, they've also banned our right to fly. What, are they telling us to just swim to an island nation?"
Mo Fan acted like a spoiled, resentful woman throwing a tantrum. He had initially thought it would be a trip with all his food and lodging, followed by a tour of various places abroad. But when he arrived at the destination, he discovered it was a remote fishing village. This was clearly a scam! Did they think he didn't have an anti-fraud app?
"Mediocre people only know how to complain, unlike Brother Jiang Han who never utters a word of complaint," said Jiang Shaoxu, a stunningly beautiful woman with a captivating figure, with a smile.
Mo Fan turned his head and glanced at Jiang Han in mid-air, feeling even more uncomfortable. What complaints could Jiang Han possibly have?
A skeletal Nether Dragon, tens of meters long, hovered in mid-air, while Jiang Han lay on its back. Not only did he not have to walk, but he also had a parasol, sunglasses, and a blanket. Anyone who didn't know better would think he was on vacation.
Jiang Han had invited Mu Ningxue, but she declined due to her aloof nature. Mo Fan and Zhao Manyan thought their brother wouldn't abandon them, but Jiang Han abandoned them both and lay alone on the back of the Nether Dragon, enjoying the warm sunshine and the sea breeze.
After cursing Jiang Han for being disloyal in his heart, Mo Fan took a deep breath and said, "Jiang Shaoxu, tell me how to get to Japan!"
"We'll take a boat. There must be a large port near the fishing village, and with a port, there will inevitably be ships going to the island nation. If I remember correctly, this is the port where our ships trade with the island nation," Jiang Shaoxu said with a smile, completely unconcerned about Mo Fan's resentment.
Jiang Shaoxu noticed Jiang Han when he arrived. She could clearly sense the active elements around Jiang Han. The fact that he could resonate with the elements meant that he was at least a high-level mage no weaker than Captain Ai Jiangtu.
"Jiang Shaoxu is right, there should be a major port in this area. In any case, we need to buy a map first to see where we are now," Nan Yu said.
"Here, this is a map of China, and I've marked our location." Suddenly, Jiang Han threw down a scroll from mid-air—no, it was an old-looking rolled-up map.
"Holy crap, where did you get this map? Didn't the five instructors take all our stuff under the pretext of safekeeping?" Zhao Manyan asked in surprise.
You should know that their belongings were taken away by the five mentors when they set off. Jiang Han not only took out a parasol and sunglasses, but now he even took out a map. Are the mentors sure they took all of Jiang Han's things?
"Naturally, I have my own ingenious plan." Jiang Han waved his hand to put away the parasol on the skeletal Nether Dragon, then looked towards the distant fishing village and said, "Guess why our mentor sent me to this fishing village?"
Ai Jiangtu, Mo Fan, Zhao Manyan and others below looked at Jiang Han with doubt. After Jiang Han jumped down from mid-air, he sent the skeleton Nether Dragon, which served as a means of transportation, back to the dimensional space.
"If it's for training, then it should look like training. Our coming to this fishing village is probably related to the sea monsters nearby," Jiang Han said.
"You mean the mentor sent us here to deal with the sea monsters here?" Ai Jiangtu asked after a moment's thought.
"That's certainly a possibility at the beach," Nan Yu nodded and said.
Although they had a map, they still wanted to go to the fishing village, partly because of the possibility Jiang Han mentioned, and partly because of their own situation.
The main problem is that their identities have been temporarily sealed, and they don't have ID cards. Under these circumstances, they not only cannot use better transportation, but they also have to avoid investigation by the Security Bureau (JC). If they are investigated, they will need to be picked up by the National Government, and doing so would be considered a failure of their training.
Walking on the dirt road, the group soon saw the entire fishing village. Passing through the wooden stake fence that was practically useless, they could see the dozen or so old houses of varying heights in the village. The walls had been eroded by the sea wind over the years, making them look somewhat damp.
After Jiang Han and his group entered the fishing village, they didn't see any adults, only children squatting at the door playing in the mud. However, these children had never seen so many young and beautiful older brothers and sisters before, and they all peeked out from inside the houses like curious babies.
"It's you again! Don't think that just because our village is poor and uneducated, we're easy to bully. Let me tell you, I'm not someone to be trifled with." Suddenly, an old man dressed simply and wearing wooden clogs rushed out, carrying a rowing paddle in his hand.
Not only the old man, but also several young men rushed out carrying various things, as if they were on guard against Jiang Han and his group.
"Uncle, is there some misunderstanding? This is our first time here. We are mages on a training expedition. We heard that sea monsters are attacking villagers nearby, so we wanted to ask you about it," Ai Jiangtu asked with a kind smile.
