The group left the Cave Island as it was reaching noon.

The Great Salamander Demon was dead, and the Carnage Poisonous Salamanders had fled for their lives. The numbers of the Salamander Demons would stop increasing. It would be a lot easier for the government to take out the rest of the demon creatures.

The rest was no longer Mo Fan's concern. Many Hunter Groups were currently stationed at the Thousand Islands Lake to collect the Salamander Demon's Heart Orbs. Their numbers would soon drop significantly.

The Hunters were not brainless. They eventually figured out an easier way to hunt the Salamander Demons, and it began to spread among the Hunters. It was not as difficult to collect the Salamander Demon's Heart Orbs as it used to be in the beginning. The Salamander Demons' attacks were not very dangerous, either, so the Hunters gladly stayed for the chance to earn some quick money.

Mo Fan showed the Heart Orb of the Great Salamander Demon to Lingling and asked curiously, "What do you think of this?"

"It contains pure particles of the Ward Rocks," Lingling soon concluded.

"Does that mean it's extremely valuable?" Mo Fan was overjoyed.

"Mm, the Great Salamander Demon must have absorbed a huge amount of particles from the Ward Rocks in the Thousand Islands Lake. As a matter of fact, the government doesn't even have the technology to refine the particles to such a fine level like this. The Ward Rocks are no different from ordinary metal if they are impure," Lingling told him.

"Wow, does that mean we are rich?" Mo Fan blurted out excitedly.

"Something like that. This thing should be enough to construct a dam over three kilometers wide. Only important military cities will have a dam like that. I suggest you not sell it. It's difficult to determine its price just by selling on the marketplace. To be honest, these materials usually belong to the government. Only a few countries will sell it them the highest bidder. Most countries will seize them by force and give you a small benefit in return. Since you are the mayor of new Fanxue City, it's better if you use it to improve the city's defense," Lingling told him.

"Is that so? That sounds like a great idea too! If Fanxue Mountain's defense improves further, more factions will be willing to set up their businesses in my territory. I can still earn a lot of money by renting my land to them," Mo Fan plotted quickly.

"It's surprising that you could think of that. I thought your brain was only concerned about cash!" Lingling sniffed.

"Speaking of which, Mu Ningxue's birthday is around the corner. Lingling, do you think I have a chance to sleep with her if I give this to her as a birthday present?" Mo Fan asked her.

"I'm still a minor!" Lingling said.

"Ling~" Little Flame Belle was lying on Mo Fan's head suddenly cried out in joy, as if she was confident that Mo Fan's plan would work.

Mo Fan flicked the little creature on the forehead and said, "You haven't even stopped drinking milk. It's not a suitable topic for you, either!"

"Something still feels strange to me, a creature like the Great Salamander Demon..." Lingling mumbled aloud.

"Why do you care so much? We've already killed the thing. You should report back to Jiang Xia that we have completed the quest. I'm still looking for the Deer God. Otherwise, how long will it take for me to reach the Super Level? That idiot Mu Bai is close to drawing a Star Palace..." Mo Fan rambled on...

The sky above the Pacific Ocean was clear and bright after a period of strong winds. A helicopter was slowly patrolling above the ocean. Its clear reflection could be seen on the calm seawater.

The rotor was spinning rapidly. A Mage wearing the uniform of the Shoreline Alliance was reading a book in the helicopter. He would occasionally glance at the water below.

"We patrolled this area not long ago. We can head back to Hawaii after a quick run," the pilot said.

"I don't mind; I do miss the resorts and the beautiful women in Hawaii. There's nothing to do apart from reading books while I'm on duty," the Mage agreed.

"Speaking of which, did you offend anyone? Why was a talented Mage like you assigned such a boring job?" the pilot smiled.

"I'm just tired of working so hard. Cultivating is seriously a torture for me. Once my cultivation is strong enough, I'll find myself a relaxing job and enjoy my life," the Mage closed his book and leaned on the edge of the door, a leg dangling outside.

"HAHA, I understand!" the pilot nodded.

The Mage was casting a side glance at the ocean ahead. He was wondering which woman he should hook up with once he returned from his duty when he suddenly noticed a silver-white land entering his view!

The land was not particularly outstanding, spreading out along the curves of the ocean. It was not dark like the usual rocky terrain, or green because of the plants covering it. It was a unique mix of silver, white, and gray under the sunlight. It had a special luster when the helicopter slowly approached it. It felt like silver being scattered across the ocean, an elegant and astonishing sight!

"I don't remember there being an island here?" the Mage murmured.

"It...it looks like… a small island?" the pilot murmured after he saw the astonishing sight.

"There shouldn't be any island around here, and we are very far from the land, too," the Mage said confidently, furrowing his brows.

Why was there a glittering silver-white island here?

They were in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. There was never an island here, let alone such a huge one!

"Perhaps we've discovered a new unknown island?" the pilot offered optimistically.

"Let's get closer, but slowly," the Mage said.

"Alright!"

The helicopter continued to fly ahead. They were able to see the vast land clearer.

The Mage was surprised when he realized that the island was much bigger than he had imagined. He could not even see the other end of it! It was a few times bigger than Hawaii, but the problem was, no one had ever reported seeing such a huge island in the middle of the Pacific Ocean.

As a matter of fact, it did resemble a small continent. The Mage suddenly felt like they had reached the coastline of North America. The spacious land soon filled up his view and replaced the seawater.

"There's no sign of mountains or plants. It's flat, just like a metal sheet. Such a strange island..." the Mage murmured.

The Mage's expression began to shift as they went closer to the island.

"Should we keep going?" the pilot asked.

"Go on," the Mage said with a weird voice, as if he was trying his best to stay calm.

------

When they drew closer, the Mage and the pilot could no longer withhold the shock they felt!

What did they just see!?

They swore they had never seen anything like it even in the most ridiculous nightmare they had, let alone in reality!

It was no island!...
