The sky was clear and blue, not a wisp of cloud was in sight . It looked like an enormous, blue gem .
The sea was deep blue . The vast ocean made it difficult to tell the directions .
As the duo soared in the air between the sky and the ocean, the only references they could find were some islands scattered across the water . However, the islands also served as a challenge to them, as there was a chance that the Sea Monkey was hiding on one of them .
"We have to find the Sea Monkey while it's still in the safe zone . Once it leaves the safe zone, it will be like searching for a needle in the ocean!" said Zhao Manyan .
Mo Fan nodded . He kept telling himself to think calmly .
The area below was still inside the safe zone . Apart from the islands, they also saw a few fishermen . Mo Fan felt that searching for the Sea Monkey without any clue was surely not going to work . Perhaps the experienced fishermen might give them some helpful hints .
"Zhao Manyan, let's head down," said Mo Fan .
Zhao Manyan picked a boat and slowly landed on it while beating his golden wings .
Surprisingly, the fisherman on the boat was neither an old man nor a young man, but a woman around the age of twenty-five . She was wearing a bamboo hat which covered her tanned face . Her physique was fit and her skin was nicely tanned .
She looked surprised when she saw Mo Fan and Zhao Manyan . It was her first time being so close to a Magician who could fly . However, she quickly collected her thoughts and greeted the two Magicians with a polite smile .
"Should we look for an older fisherman?" Zhao Manyan assumed they would be wasting their time when he realized it was a woman .
Even though the fisherwoman was attractive in her own way, he was not in the mood to flirt with her now .
"I grew up here, so feel free to ask me anything," the fisherwoman smiled, revealing her white teeth .
Mo Fan used the shortest time possible to explain the situation to the woman, hoping that she could help them to find the Sea Monkey .
"We call the Sea Monkeys you mentioned water ghosts . We've been seeing them a lot in this area when we go fishing in the past few years," said the fisherwoman .
"Can you help us to find the creature?" asked Mo Fan .
"The water ghosts mainly stay on the islands and on land . They can't swim underwater for too long . If they are heading further away into the ocean, they would most likely rest at some bamboo shoot reefs . Besides, they like to eat the seaweed on the bamboo shoot reefs too . . . you can try searching for bamboo shoot reefs instead," said the fisherwoman .
"Are there bamboo shoot reefs nearby?" asked Zhao Manyan .
"There are a bunch of them just outside the safe zone . I can contact the others from my village to tell you where they are, but we won't dare to leave the safe zone," said the fisherwoman .
"Alright, thanks," Mo Fan nodded .
"Don't mention it, I believe anyone would want to help in this situation," said the fisherwoman .
---
Mo Fan and Zhao Manyan followed the fisher woman's directions and headed straight to where the bamboo shoot reefs were located .
It was the only bank of bamboo shoot reefs close to the boundaries of the safe zone . As such, it was highly possible that the Sea Monkey was resting here before swimming further away into the ocean .
The bamboo shoot reefs were their only hope left . They only wished that they could make it in time!
After crossing the safe zone, Mo Fan glanced down and realized that the protection of the boundaries was almost negligible . Although larger demon creatures would trigger the alarm, agile creatures like the Sea Monkeys could easily avoid the sensors and infiltrate humans' territories .
"It seems like it's just ahead," said Zhao Manyan, pointing his down .
The seawater grew clearer the further they were from the land . They could see jagged rocks above the surface of the water and giant shadows growing underneath them when looking down from above . . .
"Let's take it slowly, we don't want to alert the Sea Monkey," said Mo Fan .
The two circled in the air, their eyes on the bamboo shoot reefs .
According to the fisherwoman, the Sea Monkeys could not stay in the water for too long . They would come up to the surface eventually to rest up . Since they were outside of the safe zone, the Sea Monkey would surely rest on these bamboo shoot reefs .
"Something is coming out!" said Zhao Manyan, pointing at a jagged rock .
Mo Fan followed the finger and saw a weird-looking monkey covered in seaweed climbing onto the reef while dragging something out of the water with it!
Zhao Manyan had yet to take a closer look at the thing . He simply dove from the sky together with Mo Fan .
Zhao Manyan withdrew his wings like a golden eagle, diving straight at the bamboo shoot reefs .
The Sea Monkey was on alert too . It immediately jumped into the water when it sensed danger approaching from above .
"Still trying to run away!"
Zhao Manyan tossed Mo Fan onto the bamboo shoot reefs and proceeded to dive into the water like a swordfish . . .
Mo Fan did not dare to go into the water . He stood on the bamboo shoot reef and reminded Zhao Manyan to look out for the kid .
Zhao Manyan was quite reckless when he was mad . He managed to catch the Sea Monkey in just a few seconds . The Servant-class creature did not have the ability to control water, but unlike it, Zhao Manyan was an Intermediate Water Magician . Not only was he able to move and breath underwater, he could also control the water .
Soon, Mo Fan saw Zhao Manyan jumping out from the water in drenched clothes while dragging the Sea Monkey with him .
Zhao Manyan threw the Sea Monkey at the reefs and snapped, "Damn it, the creature was holding a coconut!" Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click www . webnovel . com for visiting .
"This is bad," Mo Fan muttered dully .
Obviously, this Sea Monkey was not the one that had snatched the kid away . It was possible that the creature had already left the reefs and gone further into the ocean .
The problem was, they would never be able to find the kid after the creature left the area!
The innocent Sea Monkey curled up in fear and let out a pitiful cry . It was begging the two humans to spare its life, as if it was aware that it was not the one that they were looking for .
"Not sure if the creature understands us, but I bet the Sea Monkeys are most likely from the same pack . Look at how terrified it is; perhaps it can tell us where the kid is?" Zhao Manyan kicked the Sea Monkey furiously .
The innocent Sea Monkey cried out in fear, as it thought the human was going to kill it . It almost fainted right on the spot .
Mo Fan was left speechless by the creature . Was there any demon creature more timid than this Sea Monkey?
However, Zhao Manyan did remind Mo Fan that he had no clue how to communicate with the demon creature . . . but the Flame Belle could lend them a hand!
