Chapter 159 Giant Skeleton, Drowning Curse
The temple mage glanced at Lu Jie, his eyes filled with disbelief. He never expected that such a young mage could win over Pei Li, a former temple mage.
"I didn't expect you to have such strength at such a young age. If you join the ranks of temple mages, you will definitely receive great training," the temple mage said.
"I won't consider these things for now," Lu Jie politely declined the temple mage's offer.
"In that case, I'll take Pei Li with me." Seeing that the other party had politely declined, the temple mage did not extend any further invitation.
"We shouldn't have to pay for the damaged streets, right?" Mo Fan suddenly asked.
"Well... once you've captured Pei Li, the temple will reimburse you," said the mage of the Purple Wind Temple.
The Purple Wind Temple mage then took Pei Li away. The sightseeing trip was ruined by Pei Li, so the group naturally returned to their hotel.
As soon as I returned to the hotel, I saw Ai Jiangtu and the others sitting in the reception room with solemn expressions.
"What's wrong?" Zhao Manyan couldn't help but ask.
"Were you attacked today?" Nan Jue asked.
"How did you know?" Mo Fan asked, somewhat surprised.
"We heard about the attack on you. The executioner was just bait, and they succeeded," Ai Jiangtu said.
"Successfully? Successfully what?" Mu Nujiao asked, puzzled.
"A forbidden item from the Temple of Liberty has been stolen," Ai Jiangtu said.
"In other words, Pei Li's ambush of me and Mo Fan was just a side effect. The Black Church's real goal was to steal a forbidden item from the temple. It was truly a two-birds-with-one-stone plan," Lu Jie said.
"That's right." Nan Jue nodded.
Ai Jiangtu then said, "I just hope that the Temple of Freedom can pry something out of Pei Li, and that they won't publicize the theft of the forbidden item. But that's none of our business. Go and rest. We'll set off for the next location tomorrow."

The Atlantic Ocean seemed even bluer, as clean as an ice mirror, so clear that it could perfectly reflect the white clouds without any waves.
Tinoaia is one of the most beautiful and mysterious cities in Portugal, located near the Atlantic Ocean. It is also a gathering place for sea hunters. Almost every hunter who wants to explore the Atlantic Ocean and make a fortune from the treasure-filled sea will stop here, and at the same time, they will squander their fortune in one night.
Whether it's a seaside lounge teeming with beautiful women, a chaotic and noisy casino, or a magician's arena, there's always endless luxury to enjoy here!
It was only afternoon, and the warm sunlight gracefully spilled onto the sea, the gentle waves rippling in the sea breeze like the hems of girls' skirts…
A passenger plane landed in the seaside city of Tinoua.
On the plane, Mo Fan, sitting by the window, was looking down at this beautiful ocean city when he witnessed the scene unfolding at the harbor.
"What are you looking at?" Zhao Manyan asked, leaning closer.
"A strange white ship, it looks like it's going to fill the harbor," Mo Fan muttered.
"What kind of car are you driving? Aren't you taking me with you?" Lu Jie asked as he approached.
"What a load of bull, it's a ship!" Mo Fan cursed.
"Are there ships that big? Let me see." Lu Jie leaned against the porthole and saw the large ship in the harbor.
"It's not a ship at all, it's just a skeleton." Lu Jie made that judgment after one glance.
"Brother Jie, don't scare me, there's no way there's such a big skeleton." Zhao Manyan swallowed hard, somewhat incredulous.
"Go and see for yourself." Lu Jie shrugged.
Then I went to help Mu Nujiao carry her luggage...
A sea breeze blew, and a strange smell emanating from the huge skeleton could be faintly smelled, permeating the small harbor.
The wooden pier at the port was already packed with people. They had never seen such a scene before. All sorts of terrible rumors began to brew, and it was believed that they would soon spread throughout the entire Tinoaia, and would even become more and more outrageous!
"Holy crap, it really is a skeleton!!" Zhao Manyan's eyes almost popped out of their sockets.
"How could a creature of this level become like this? Its skeleton is quite complete, but there's not a single piece of flesh on its body, not to mention its internal organs!" Nan Jue exclaimed in horror.
"Jiang Yu, do you recognize this creature?" Lu Jie nudged Jiang Yu, who was standing next to him.
Jiang Yu adjusted his glasses and said, "This should be a sea mammoth. Its head and upper body resemble an ancient giant elephant, while its lower body is like a whale. These creatures generally inhabit the open sea and deep sea. They are not the kind of sea beasts or sea monsters that like to harass humans. However, many ferocious sea monsters would avoid this creature. It needs to eat at least a dozen sea monsters a day to maintain its bodily functions..."
Jiang Yu finished recounting all the relevant information about this sea mammoth in one breath.
Everyone nodded subconsciously. Jiang Yu's knowledge was simply too strong. He could identify what kind of creature he was before he was born just by looking at a skeleton.
"Oh, by the way, this guy hasn't been dead for more than two days," Jiang Yu added.
"A creature of this size should take a long time to decompose into bones after it dies, how could it have taken less than two days?" Mo Fan asked in confusion.
Jiang Yu adjusted his glasses again and explained the reason to everyone.
"This is terrible. Let's finish the national tournament and leave as soon as possible. I don't want to stay here for another second."
Me too.
"..."
Hearing Jiang Yu say this, some people in the group were very scared, but others were very interested, feeling that there was some incredible secret behind it.
"Alright, alright, go if you want. We'll handle the national tournament." Ai Jiangtu saw the restless glint in their eyes and said with a hint of helplessness.
He's really doing the work of both a father and a mother to his team; it must be exhausting.
"Then I'll leave it to you. Jiaojiao, let's go." With that, Lu Jie grabbed Mu Nujiao's hand and ran out.
"Is it really okay for us to leave like this?" Mu Nujiao asked.
"You want to improve your strength, right? Besides sparring with me every day, you also need to fight demons. That's the best way to improve your strength," Lu Jie said.
Hearing Lu Jie say this, Mu Nujiao actually felt that there was some truth to it.
However, she also rolled her eyes at Lu Jie, saying, "I don't even want to talk about your sparring match anymore."
Lu Jie smiled and said, "Passing on knowledge and skills is also a form of exchange, isn't it?"
The two unknowingly arrived at the stone bridge, where they saw an old man smoking and Mu Ningxue.
"Xuexue?" Mu Nujiao called out.
Mu Ningxue turned around, slightly surprised, and asked, "Why did you all come over?"
"Just taking a walk." The two girls were best friends and got along well, so they quickly started chatting.
"Another drowning curse?" Mu Nujiao exclaimed in surprise after hearing Mu Ningxue's account.
Mu Ningxue nodded solemnly. She had originally thought that such things only existed in Japan, but she hadn't expected that they could still be found in such a distant sea area.
