AFTER 1 WEEK(250M, 334W, 35S, 38PLS)

  We landed in Portugal to get our 6th approval stamp.

  "Captain..." Chen Xiao called out.

  "If you also want to investigate that skeleton, you may go. Portugal team is not strong." Ai Jiangtu said mistaking that Chen Xiao is also interested in that huge and mysterious skeleton.

  "We want leave for three weeks." Chen Xiao said on his own and Bai Cangfeng's behalf.

  "Three weeks!... umm but you two will miss this month's allocated resources. " Ai Jiangtu said.

  "That's fine with us." Chen Xiao said.

  "You may go then." Ai Jiangtu said.

  We walk away from the team.

  "So, are we going on training again." Bai Cangfeng asked.

  "You can say so. But first we will be going to Hunter Association." Chen Xiao said.

  We arrived in Hunter Association Hall. I showed my 2-Star Master Hunter Card and we were given VIP treatment.

  "Don't know why I'm surprised when I know how much you love killing monsters?" Bai Cangfeng commented little surprised by the treatment.

  "Just enjoy you free time while you can." Chen Xiao suggested.

  After 2 hours my order come.

  "Here is your parcel and the information you asked Master Hunter." a staff member deliver Chen Xiao his stuff.

  "Let's go Bai Cangfeng." Chen Xiao said and both left.

  "What's this?" Bai Cangfeng asked.

  "Some stuff which will help us earn some money." Chen Xiao replied.

  "How much exactly?" Bai Cangfeng asked.

  "You will get 100M and rest will be mine." Chen Xiao replied.

  Using my Master Hunter ID, I get information on victims of Drowning Curse and parcel contains all the stuff required to track that maggot.

  We arrived at that water mage's house which was smelling as rotten meat. We decided to wait for him.

  "Who are you?" Water Mage asked.

  The author's tale has been misappropriated; report any instances of this story on Amazon.

  "We are from Hunter Association and are investigating Drowning Curse, we will need your testimony but most importantly what's with that rotten smell coming from your house." Chen Xiao explained.

  Water Mage run into his house.

  "Drowning Curse?" Bai Cangfeng give Chen Xiao confused look.

  "Just follow my lead and everything will be alright." Chen Xiao said.

  "Aaaaaaa!" Water Mage cried. Chen Xiao and Bai Cangfeng run into house as well.

  "What happened?" Bai Cangfeng asked.

  "My brother... sob... sob..." Water Mage start crying.

  "Bai Cangfeng, bring in fresh air." Chen Xiao said.

  Bai Cangfeng quickly fulfill the task as he was also suffering from smell.

  "It's Drowning Curse" Chen Xiao said and draw attention of Water Mage and Bai Cangfeng.

  "First my Big brother and now my little brother. Both become victims of this evil curse. You were investigating Drowning Curse please tell me how can I help you. I will do everything to destroy this curse." Water Mage said.

  "First we will need to investigate this place, if you allow us." Chen Xiao said.

  "Please, You have my full support." Water Mage said.

  "I'm Chen Xiao and this is Bai Cangfeng." Chen Xiao introduced.

  "I'm Bobby." Water Mage introduced himself.

  After introduction, I start filtering blooded water and find that little bastard.

  "Here is killer of your little brother." Chen Xiao said drawing attention of Bai Cangfeng and Bobby.

  "This little thing?"Bai Cangfeng asked.

  "Yes, it's a kind of parasite currently it's in larva form which feed on nutrients of host and then left when it mature and then find a possible strongest host possible." Chen Xiao explained.

  "I will kill this thing." Bobby pounced at the maggot.

  "Calm down... we need this thing to made vaccine." Chen Xiao restrain Bobby using 'Void Claw'.

  "Space Element..." Bobby cannot believe that the person who must be few years younger than him is an Advance Tier mage while he is just a Mid Tier mage.

  "Vaccine?" Bai Cangfeng asked.

  "Yes but first we need to provide this bastard a new and suitable host. Follow me and Bobby can you arrange a boat for us?"Chen Xiao start ordering around.

  Bobby actually owns a high speed boat which actually impressed me. But then again I have spend more than 2 Billions myself. If I used that much money to live as normal human, I might be living one of the most extravagant life.

  After putting tracker on maggot we release it in sea and start following it. I'm actually expecting the biggest soul harvesting of my life.

  After several hours, we come out of safe zone. The maggot finally stopped at a place 50Kms away from safe zone.

  "About 2000m deep there is colony of Sword Quil Monsters. Their numbers might be in thousands. There is also commander among them. We better not provoke them." Bobby shared his knowledge.

  "Could that maggot be trying to parasitize that commander?" Bai Cangfeng asked.

  "We need to go down, maggot is in danger." Chen Xiao said.

  "Can't you alone take care of them?" Bai Cangfeng asked not want to go underwater as his primary element is not useful under water.

  "You need to keep training for betterment." Chen Xiao said, then both of them dive into water.

  We quickly went deeper and enter Sword Quil Monsters territory.

  "Get ready Bai Cangfeng... 'Lightning Lock'." Chen Xiao made sauce of the monster.

  "Level 2 Change of Variable: Gravity Manipulation"

  "Level 2 Space Rythm: Delay"

  The monsters almost freezed.

  "You practice your Curse Element on them and I will take care of Commander." Chen Xiao said and left.

  "Level 4 Evil Spider: Sinister Trap"

  Commander come rushing towards us.

  "Void Shield"

  BOOOM

  Commander crashed into wall.

  "Void Punch"

  I force back Commander.

  "Come forth Lightning Hydra"

  "Keep it busy until I came back."

  I return for soul harvesting.

  "Lightning Sabers"

  I killed the warriors on whom Bai Cangfeng practice his Curse Element.

  Few warrior soul chunks and a warrior soul essence flew into my soul vessel. Soul chunks are like soul remnants but with 10 to 15 times of a soul remnant. 5 to 7 soul chunks are enough to form one soul essence. I think I should also awaken 'Curse Element'.

  "Level 2 Change of Variable: Gravity Manipulation"

  "Level 2 Space Rythm: Delay"

  I reinforced my spells.

  After 35 minutes, until now 7 warrior soul essences and 130 warrior soul chunks flew into my soul vessel which gave me 28 warrior soul essence. Bai Cangfeng is about to deplete his whole mana rserve.

  "Don't bother with them anymore, let's practice on that commander." Chen Xiao urged.

  "I don't think I will be able to do much on that commander and I'm also low on mana." Bai Cangfeng said.

  "Just practice, no need to force yourself." Chen Xiao said.

  "Lightning Lock"

  I restrain the commander.

  "Level 1: Demon Punishment"

  In few seconds, Bai Cangfeng's face become pale. But he didn't stop.

  "That's it, my mana is depleted now." Bai Cangfeng said.

  "Chaos Funnel"

  "Level 1 Lonely Death Lightning: Thunder Arm"

  A thick lightning bolt pierce through commander's head.

  Bai Cangfeng returned to boat but I keep killing monsters. Bai Cangfeng could only kill 150 of them but there are still more than 500 hundreds of them.

  "Chaos Funnel"

  "Lightning Arrows"

  After 2 hours, I return to boat with 13 more warrior soul essences.

  "Is that pest alive." Chen Xiao asked.

  "It's alive." Bobby replied.

  "So, is it moving or still?" Chen Xiao asked.

  "It's about 10kms west from us now." Bobby replied.

  "Then what are we doing here? follow it." Chen Xiao said.

  Bobby quickly propelled the boat in maggot's direction.
