Chapter 160: Chapter 160- Too Hard To Turn Down



"The river had completely mixed with the sea. The water is salty now." He replied. "Dammit, give me the walky-talky."

The students were confused as to why Talon\'s mood suddenly soured but they still quickly rummaged through their belongings before they handed him the device.

Talon then pressed one button and talked. "Hey, Hyun-Jae, do you copy?"

A few seconds later, a voice responded to him. "Hyun-Jae here, I do copy."

"Did you reach the river yet?"

"Yes, we\'re here… The water is salty." The girl replied.

Rubbing his face gently, Talon took a deep breath. "We should meet up now. Tell Chin-Hwa and the others."

"Roger… I\'m on my way."

After that, Talon handed the walky-talky back. "We\'re going to stay here for a while until Hyun-Jae and the others come here. Stay alert for any monsters."

"Yes, sir." The group replied in a clearly confused tone.

They really had no idea why the fact that the water turned salty made Talon react that way. If anything, wasn\'t the expansion of the river far more alerting?

But, because of his aura at that moment, they were hesitant to ask. In the end, curiosity just took over them.

"Uh, leader…"

"What?"

"What\'s wrong with the water being salty, sir?"

Talon sighed and turned around. "If the water had turned salty then what does that mean?" He asked.

"That… the sea mixed with the river?" One of the students thought for a moment before they replied.

"In other words, the river is now an extension of the sea. Now, if the river remained fresh and simply expanded, it would\'ve not that big of a problem. However, with this, we might expect a huge trouble. Whatever creatures live in the sea are probably going to migrate to this area."

So far, Talon had only met monsters on land and they had been quite the terrifying bunch. However, when it came to the creatures of the sea, Talon had a completely different dread toward them. The reason for that was a small piece of information he knew.

\'Deep sea creatures have a higher tendency to grow way bigger than shallow waters creatures and even land creatures…\' He squinted his eyes as he remembered that sentence.

So far, the evolution of monsters on Earth has been extremely abnormal, to say the least. Monsters grew stronger extremely fast and seemingly had no limit at all. In a matter of weeks, creatures over level 20 appeared regularly which was something that normally would take months to happen in other dimensions.

\'If that\'s the case for the land creatures, then what about the sea?\' Just asking that question sent a chill down Talon\'s spine.

The monsters that lurked in the sea were perhaps far worse than the ones on land.

"Oh, no… Are we in trouble?"

It didn\'t take the students to realize what Talon meant and they immediately started panicking.

"If we try to cross the river and we end up getting attacked by some kind of monster… Just imagining that is terrifying."

"Relax. We aren\'t going to cross the river yet. We have to make sure it\'s safe first."

\'Though, I doubt that\'s going to be an easy thing to do… Dammit! This such a headache!\' Clenching his fists, Talon turned around and stared at the water. Even though the wind was rather strong, the water wasn\'t moving as violently as he expected.

As he watched the water, a weird feeling was slowly rising within him that he couldn\'t quite describe with words. Something about the water made his senses wake up again as if they were trying to tell him something.

But, weirdly enough, he couldn\'t sense anything coming from the river. No monsters and certainly no abnormal Aetheris behavior.

"Talon…" At that moment, he heard a voice calling for him, making him turn around.

There, he saw Hyun-Jae and the others had already reached them. Everyone had a tense look on their faces.

Taking a deep breath, Talon spoke. "Change of plans, guys. We won\'t be able to cross the river yet. We need to first make sure the river is safe."

"How are we going to do that?" Hyun-Jae asked.

That was the question everyone wanted to ask. If the river was filled with monsters, getting past them was going to be extremely dangerous and terrifying on so many levels.

But, Talon had already found a good idea to do it. An idea that was perhaps his most clever one so far.

"It\'s really simple. If you want to catch a sea creature, what do you do?" He asked with a small mischievous smile.

Hyun-Jae looked at him with squinted eyes for a second before it suddenly hit her. "Oh… You mean…"

"Yeah, if we\'re going to hunt down sea creatures, we gotta lay some bait for them to emerge on their own."

"Oh!"

Hearing that, the students exclaimed in surprise. As simple as it sounded, they didn\'t really think of it that way. After all, in their heads, monsters are monsters. But, they forgot that in the end, they still behaved like most other creatures on earth.

Laying some kind of bait to catch their attention was the perfect way to do it.

"We\'re going to need some monster corpses and some ropes," Talon instructed the students. "A group should go get all the monsters we just killed around the area and another group needs to go back to the warehouse to get the ropes. Make sure they\'re very thick and sturdy.

"Yes, sir!"

After giving those instructions, the students scattered quickly.

"Hey, Hyun-Jae, follow me for a moment. I want to check something out before we actually do anything." He said as he started walking.

Hyun-Jae stared at his back for a second before she nodded her head. She didn\'t have to think much to know that Talon wanted to talk to her privately.

The two moved a little bit far from the group.

"I wanna do something that you might not like." He said.

"What is it?" The girl frowned as she had a bad feeling about what he said.

"Hmm, I think I\'m going to dive into the river." He replied with an awkward chuckle.

"What?! Why would you need to do that?"

"Well, one has to kill those monsters, no? Even if we bait them to the surface, we have to still kill them."

"We can simply attack them with long-range weapons." Hyun-Jae retorted with a frown.

"Do you really think whatever lives there would actually be killed with weak long-range weapons?"

Hyun-Jae: "..."

Opening her mouth to speak, the girl found herself unable to reply. What Talon said was true, the chances that their weapons would be effective against monsters that lived in the sea were highly unlikely.

If they wanted to kill them then they had to actually get close and slay them with sharp weapons.

"My Blue Lapis spear is actually really good for such a thing. Its performance peaks when it\'s in a water environment." He replied. "Besides, I think I\'m far stronger than anything that lives in the sea and even if I\'m not, I can definitely escape with a few simple tricks."

Hyun-Jae rubbed her temples tiredly as she looked at Talon.

"Sigh… Is there really no other choice?"

"I doubt. But, trust me, I will be fine." He said with a small smile.

Seeing that look on his face, Hyun-Jae felt her heart skip a beat as she fell into a daze. Every single time she saw his smile, her eyes will get completely sucked in by it.

\'He always changes my mind so easily… I don\'t know if that\'s even a good or bad thing.\' She thought to herself.

The sheer effect Talon had on her was slowly sinking into her head and making her realize that there was simply no way for her to actually deny him a request if he tried hard enough to convince her.

Her heart would ache greatly if she saw him disappointed or sad.

"Sigh, fine, you can do that."

Hearing that, Talon\'s expression beamed, only to dim again when he heard her next words.

"But, I have one condition…"

"What is it?" He asked.

"I\'m going to get on a boat and follow you wherever you go underwater. Also, you need to wear a diving suit and tie a rope around your body so that I can pull you out if the worst happens." She said.
