Chapter 1850: The Greatest Threat

Translated by XephiZ

People had only heard rumors about how disastrous the Calamity of the White Demons Cloud was going to be after it was first spotted. However, most people only panicked and felt uneasy at the beginning. As long as the disaster had yet to befall them, they would eventually forget it after a few days or months.

However, the Calamity of the White Demons Cloud was not just mere rumors. It was only a matter of time until it came to them. It was going to fall upon every city, and every person in them, like the apocalypse!

When Lingling discovered the truth behind the overpopulation of the Manta Ray Evil Birds, that it was just an unexpected occurrence due to the waste produced by the sea monsters, they could not help but feel uneasy about the situation.

Tangyue could not help but wonder if the Headquarter Cities could actually hold their ground when the White Demons Cloud passed the center of the Pacific Ocean and arrived along China’s shoreline. What would eastern China be like by then?

“Lingling, what’s the solution you mentioned?” Jiang Shaoxu asked after she recalled something.

“If the Manta Ray Evil Birds feed on the Stinky Mayflies, things are a lot simpler. The Stinky Mayflies have a paralyzing poison in them, which is why the Manta Ray Evil Birds’ attacks were poisonous. We can spray some kind of anesthetic across the sea so it will enter the Stinky Mayflies’ poison glands. It will slowly paralyze the Manta Ray Evil Birds when they feed on the Stinky Mayflies… it will be very easy for us to eliminate them,” Lingling said.

“It’s not wise to poison the seawater. It might affect other areas along the coast,” Tangyue said.

“Don’t worry, Sister Tangyue. There’s a kind of Anesthetic Seaweed which the Stinky Mayflies love most. It will prevent the drug from spreading across the sea and the coasts,” Lingling said.

“That’s brilliant!” Tangyue’s eyes glittered.

If they were feeding the Stinky Mayflies with the seaweed, it was not going to pollute the ocean. It might be the perfect solution if they could actually drug the Manta Ray Evil Birds as Lingling had suggested.

“Lingling, are you sure the Manta Ray Evil Birds will be paralyzed after eating the seaweed? I heard that some mature demon creatures have a certain resistance toward poison and paralyzing effects,” Jiang Shaoxu spoke up.

“Creatures with an outstanding pace of growth and reproduction are different, because they are able to intake nutrients quicker than other species. However, it also means they aren’t good at filtering out harmful substances. They can’t even filter out the substances that we humans normally filter out, let alone harmful ones. They just absorb everything into their bodies and use them as nutrients to strengthen their muscles and bones. Therefore, these creatures usually had a significantly shorter life span than other species,” Lingling explained.

All creatures had to obey the laws of nature. The Manta Ray Evil Birds were not a natural breed. There were genetically flawed creatures, so they had certain shortcomings. They might be able to deal a lot of damage in a short period of time, but they could go extinct in a short period too!

Lingling had conducted experiments on the Salamander Demons. She had noticed the Salamander Demons had the same problem!

Her plan to drug the Manta Ray Evil Birds by using the Stinky Mayflies as bait would most likely not work on other higher-level species. Even though their stomachs would not filter out the poison completely, their outstanding digestive systems would still screen out most of the poison, so the effects would be less than ideal.

This was also the reason why Poison Mages were not so well-received in the market, and why not many people were willing to Awaken the Poison Element on purpose. However, the plan was perfect against the Manta Ray Evil Birds. It would most likely wipe out the Manta Ray Evil Birds because of their inherent flaws!

“If that’s the case, I’ll ask people to collect the Anesthetic Seaweed you mentioned,” Tangyue agreed.

“Sister Tangyue, I’ve already asked Mu Bai to take care of it. He’s a Plant and Poison Mage. I asked him to scatter the spores, they will fully cover the seabed in less than four days. We just need to wait patiently for the result,” Lingling smiled, revealing her dimples.

“Lingling, thank you so much!” Tangyue gathered the girl in her arms and kissed her on the face.

“I was wondering why Mo Fan liked to bring you around always. I thought he had some kind of weird fetish, but it proves that bringing you along can really solve a lot of problems!” Jiang Shaoxu complimented her.

Even though the outcome was still unknown, Jiang Shaoxu believed Lingling’s plan was on point. Creatures that were genetically modified had to have some kind of flaws. The Manta Ray Evil Birds were the product of an experiment. They must have abused some tricks to reproduce so quickly, which indicated they had some kind of critical flaw. They would not have a problem taking out the creatures once they figured out those flaws!

“Lingling, are the demon creatures that make up the White Demons Cloud the same? Does that mean we can defeat them if we can figure out their weaknesses?” Tangyue asked as she thought of something. She subconsciously glanced in the direction of the ocean.

“I can’t say for sure. The sea occupies about seventy percent of the world. The land is more like a level plane, since most humans and demon creatures resided at the same level, regardless of altitude. But the sea has different layers between the surface and the seabed, which leads to different species. The sea is rich in resources too, so it’s possible that the White Demons Cloud is just a normal phenomenon. Let’s hope the creatures actually have some kind of deformity, and their unstoppable advance is just a facade. Otherwise, they will seriously devour everything once they cross the Pacific Ocean and reach our coasts,” Lingling said.

Tangyue and Jiang Shaoxu were stunned after hearing Lingling’s explanation.

They had never considered the question seriously. Did the sea only occupy seventy percent of the world?

The sea was further split into layers. The surface layer had its own species, a depth of a hundred meters had other species, not to mention those below the depth of a hundred meters who lived at the bottom of the sea, the deep sea, or in the ravines. An area of a meter square was one thing, but an area of a cubic meter was different since depth was taken into consideration too!

The monsters of the sea had always been the greatest threat to mankind. However, humans had simply ignored them because they were so busy fighting the demon creatures on land!
