Versatile Mage

The next morning, Zhang Xiaohou and Hua Yuezhu took an excuse to go out and leave the old man's house.

With Tan Feng under surveillance, Tan Feng immediately gave the same answer as Hua Yue Zhu asked.

The factories here, they do catch Dragon King ants, but they catch Dragon King ants purely to refine the silver sand in their blood.

This is not a violation of the law, and some environmental fines are required at most.

“It appears that the inhabitants of the island have no idea of the enormous harm caused by Dragon King Ants, who do not seem to know much about what is happening in Luning County due to the closure of the news, nor do they associate what is happening in Luning County with Dragon King Ants.” Zhang Xiaohou said.

“Villagers and factories have been exterminated for the sake of the country, even though the difference between the amount they salvaged and the amount we were going to destroy is very wide.” Tian Cheng said.

The actual number of dragon kings in the Bohai Sea can't be counted. The way dragon kings are calculated is even how many in a thousand liters of sea water, and the volume of the ocean, even in a thousand liters, is like sand in the desert.

“Tian Cheng, the villagers refined deep sea coke silver, where did this come from?” Zhang Xiaohou asked.

Deep Sea Coke Silver, which seems to be something that a few dragon kings cannot digest. Since this is not the nest of dragon kings, but a small canteen, it is possible to find the deep sea coke silver mine and possibly find the nest of dragon kings.

“This will take a long time to find the marker, and we only have 10 days left.” Tian Cheng said.

Dragon kings move so widely across the Bohai that they need not only a long time, but also a lot of information that can be crossed from the remnants of their bellies to lock the places they swim, the islands they pass, the habitats they inhabit.

Deep sea coke silver mines are hidden in the sea floor, deep sea, where they might be so easy to find.

“General, I think we can ask the old man frankly. Yesterday, the old man's son also said that all he knew was some fur. His father knew more. We told him about the interest of Dragon King Ant and wanted him to have no more concerns and not to leave the country in danger.” Huayu Bamboo said.

Zhang Xiaohou nodded and could only open the door to see the mountain, hoping that the old man would have some more valuable information.

……

And they're in the right place, because this salt peninsula really knows Dragon King ants better than anybody else, and they've been fishing for years.

This time, Zhang Xiaohou went with Captain Tian Cheng, Tan Feng Zuojunsuke and Hua Yuezhu. They uniformed themselves in official military uniform.

The old man was in the courtyard, and when he saw several men in uniform walking in front of the gate, his face remained somewhat unexpectedly calm.

“Have a seat.” The old man shook the ashes, and it seemed like a man who had also experienced the big wind waves.

“Old man, I'm sorry to say some lies.” Zhang Xiaohou sat down.

“Young, general, I haven't walked outside for many years. I didn't think such a talent existed in our country.” The old man sighed.

The other three stood behind Zhang Xiaohou and did not sit, holding the military position.

“Dad, what do they want!! The whole thing has nothing to do with my father. Something's coming for me! ”

The old man's son ran out of the kitchen and shouted.

“Don't get me wrong, we're military, not EPA.” Zhang Xiaohou said.

“What are you yelling at? Sit down. They're soldiers. What do you want with a knife? Against the country!” The old man was not angry and scolded.

The old man's son was just being honest. He didn't take the stool and squatted beside him. He looked like he regretted it.

He knew that it was illegal to do something like that, and that one day something would go wrong, and that day would come.

“Uncle, do you know what the plant captures?” Zhang Xiaohou asked.

“Is this something to do with what's happened recently?” said the old man.

“Well, they destroyed Luning County, which is a lot bigger than you guys are fishing for. And, according to our military survey, there are thousands of times more dragon kings in the entire Bohai, and once they gather to rush toward the coastal cities, they can collapse hundreds of cities along our national coastline in just a few hours.” Zhang Xiaohou said.

The old man heard the phrase and his face, full of wrinkles, was stunned.

Obviously, my uncle didn't expect such a great biological hazard.

“I told people in the factory in the early days that this stuff was dangerous and wanted them to report to the city. But we're all so poor that the people who fished for them finally didn't have to live that hard life. Alas, who knows how big a basket it is!” Old man's full of guilt.

“Uncle, I don't blame you. After all, the Magic Society's research department has not fully studied this completely transparent creature in the ocean. Now we must find their nests as soon as possible and wipe them out before they strike all over our shoreline!” Zhang Xiaohou said.

“How?” The old man immediately asked.

Zhang Xiaohou did not answer. The matter concerning the curse remains confidential and will not be made public for the time being.

The old man also understood that, as Zhang Xiaohou speculated, he was an old magician, and he knew very well that he would send a general to carry out a national mission, which must be a secret operation.

“It's really hard to find that we, the inhabitants of the Salt Flower Peninsula, were also caught very accidentally, and at first all of us didn't believe that there was anything in the water… they didn't eat wood, they didn't eat living things, they didn't bite crop orchards, and while we later discovered that they digested steel and rock, we also figured out a way to deal with them with coke silver nets.” The old man said.

It started five years ago when we were fishing for Dragon King ants.

It was by pure coincidence that they discovered Dragon King ants, and if they hadn't had that chance, they wouldn't have known that thousands of Dragon King ants were roaming around the Salt Flower Peninsula in their lifetime.

“These Dragon King ants are supposed to live in a trench closer to the land, and it's strange to say that deep reef silver, at its deepest depths, is hard for us humans to harvest. Dragon King ants can't digest this deep sea coke silver, but they always eat it.” The old man continued.

Zhang Xiaohou asked Tiancheng to take a detailed map of the Bohai and put it in front of an old tea table.

“Uncle, can you help us mark the location of this trench?” Zhang Xiaohou said.

“Look on the map, I'm afraid it's hard to find.” The old man rolled up the map and gave it to Zhang Xiaohou.

Just as Zhang Xiaohou showed some frustration, the old man stood up and continued, “I'll take you there. If I don't have an old score yet, I should be able to find this trench.” said the old man.
