Full-Time Magister: Super Mage

Chapter 422 Departure for Desolate Rock Island, Hunting the Crimson Demon

"Give it a try. If it succeeds, great. But what if it fails?" Lin Junxian reprimanded coldly.

The beautiful secretary was so frightened that she quickly stepped back. She would never have made such a basic mistake in the past, but for some reason she was speaking up for these young men today. They were handsome, but work was more important!

"You don't need to worry about that. Since we dared to take on this job, we are confident that we can complete it. What you need now is not to question us, but to resolve the siren problem as soon as possible, otherwise your Lin Group will only face bankruptcy."

"The choice to try is yours. If you're willing to gamble, give us all the information you have about the siren, then sit in your office and wait for our news," Jiang Han said confidently.

After a long silence, Lin Junxian finally spoke, "Okay, but I need you to sign a waiver beforehand. After all, it's not like I'm the one who insisted you go this time. If something really happens to you, I don't want your parents, the universities and powerful organizations behind you to point fingers and scold me, because the Lin family still cares about its reputation."

After both parties agreed on the tasks, Lin Junxian asked his beautiful secretary to print the agreement. Only after seeing Jiang Han and the others sign the agreement and put their fingerprints on it did he have someone bring up the relevant information about the Siren.

In addition to the information on the siren, they were also provided with a hotel and essential items for hunting siren, including nearly a hundred kinds of healing and detoxifying medicines, in case Jiang Han and his group were stranded outside.

Although both parties signed a waiver of liability, if someone were to get into trouble, the families or forces behind these young people would certainly not care about the waiver of liability. Lin Junxian, a seasoned veteran in the business world, would definitely have to make two preparations. Therefore, in order to prevent trouble from being caused in the future, he had various medicines prepared for Jiang Han and the others.

There are many deserted islands in the waters outside Asuka City. These islands could have been used as ecological islands and were planned to be included in the safe zone and developed into tourist attractions, which would then drive the rapid economic development of Asuka City.

Unfortunately, in recent years, sea monsters have become rampant, and incidents of sea monsters attacking tourists have occurred frequently. As a result, these islands have been abandoned by all parties and turned into deserted islands. Because the security perimeter has been moved back, many deserted islands have become places of demons!

In addition, the economic downturn caused by the exodus of major investors in recent years has given the municipal leaders in charge of Asuka City a major headache.

The city government had organized efforts to exterminate the sea monster, but manpower was limited and the sea monster was cunning. The teams that were dispatched either returned empty-handed or were attacked inexplicably. After several such attempts, the matter was eventually dropped.

In order to prevent the economic collapse of Asuka City, the city government sold a lot of land to the Lin Group at low prices, hoping that the Lin Group's huge financial resources could stabilize Asuka City's economic system.

The Lin Group wanted to compete with the Zhao Conglomerate in the business world, so it mortgaged most of its assets to acquire the vacant land, intending to turn it into the most famous tourist attraction in China.

However, after the Lin Group acquired the vacant land in Asuka City, the city's monster hunting operation was suspended due to various factors. If the Lin Group were to recruit a hunter team to deal with the sea monsters, it would be an astronomical expense. Therefore, both the Lin Group and the city were dragging their feet on the monster hunting.

When Jiang Han and his group approached Lin Junxian to discuss resolving the sea monster issue, Lin Junxian was simply trying anything as a last resort, even prepared for retaliation from the forces behind Jiang Han and his group.

After a day of rest, Jiang Han, Ai Jiangtu, Mo Fan, and their group of fourteen boarded the magic ship arranged by the Lin family and headed to the location of the city's final siege against the good demons.

"That rocky island is where the last demon-slaying took place. According to the records, they were attacked by sea monsters while resting at night and suffered heavy losses. Be careful when you get to the island," Ai Jiangtu said, pointing to the deserted island ahead.

Everyone nodded in understanding. Ai Jiangtu and Jiang Han led the way, followed closely by Nan Yu, Mo Fan, Jiang Shaoxu, and others. Once on the island, Jiang Han found it to be quite spacious, several times wider than the island where he had trained in Shanghai.

There was a lot of debris on the rocky island, including tattered tents, torn clothes, and first-aid kits, which were probably left behind by the municipal monster-hunting team when they retreated last time.

"Look at these claw marks. The claws of this kind of siren must be at least this long." While the others were looking around, Jiang Yu, the demon encyclopedia member of the group, found a rock with three deep claw marks in the middle.

"Can you identify what kind of siren it is?" Ai Jiangtu asked, turning his head.

"Red Ling Demon," Jiang Han's voice rang in his ears.

Jiang Yu and Ai Jiangtu both looked at Jiang Han with some surprise. Jiang Han naturally knew this from his memories. He smiled and continued to explain, "Three claws, and the information shows that sea monsters are red, and there's only one type: the Crimson Demon!"

"Oh, right, I should remind everyone that there is a Commander-level Crimson Demon here."

"Is there really a Commander-level Crimson Demon here?" Ai Jiangtu asked in a heavy voice.

"Is it necessary for me to lie to you?" Jiang Han said casually.

At this moment, a person dragged a red monster that was half the height of a person over. It was Mo Fan, who had been wandering around since arriving on the island. It has to be said that those with a halo are really awesome. However, Jiang Han is the one who has cheated, even more awesome than the protagonist's halo!

"Hey guys, is that the Crimson Demon that Mo Fan is dragging?" Zhao Manyan asked tentatively.

"Yeah, it's just in its infancy, and we're surrounded." Jiang Han looked at the huge rock not far away, where there was a crimson monster that was three or four meters tall, several times larger than the one in Mo Fan's hand.

The Crimson Demon has a powerful and robust physique, with strange ring-shaped fins on its waist. These fins are not only for breathing underwater, but also for hunting. Their sharpness is no less than that of claws. Its forelimbs are thin and long, and its three claws are like three barbed daggers.

"There's only one, we..." Just as Zhao Manyan was about to attack the Crimson Demon, more than a dozen crimson figures jumped up from behind the rocks, startling Zhao Manyan so much that he immediately pulled back his foot. It couldn't be more swift and decisive!

"They're all at the general level," Ai Jiangtu said, frowning.

"Mo Fan, did you bring all of these back?" Zhao Manyan whispered to Mo Fan.
