The rotting was not caused by poison. Everyone was fine after they were no longer being exposed to the light of the evil eye. They treated their injuries with the dicine they brought along while waiting for the sun to rise.
Mo Fan did not tell anyone how to track the young dusa. When it was almost dawn, Mo Fan secretly asked Zhao Manyan to set the Roving Desert Beetles free, and waited for his news.
Not long after, Zhao Manyan returned with a happy face.
Mu Bai had a hint of disgust when he saw the look on Zhao Manyan’s face. “Do you really have to be so happy after taking a piss?”
“What do you know!?” Zhao Manyan glared at Mu Bai.
When the three ca close together, Zhao Manyan took out sothing that looked like a string of silk. It was stained with a strange substance, but it was still smooth and beautiful.
“What’s this?” Mu Bai had to ask.
“The hair that the young dusa has just shed. She’s very close to us! Mo Fan, are you sure the total sum in the reward pool for the Tear of dusa is three point seven billion?” Zhao Manyan said.
“Three..three point seven...” Mu Bai blurted out in surprise.
“Shhh!” Mo Fan and Zhao Manyan both signaled him to keep the voice down.
Mu Bai withheld the shock in his heart. He lowered his head and whispered, “Is it really three point seven billion?”
“It is, for so reason, even the Giant Female Snakes have been granted dusae’s power too! They can also cast the Eyes of Vengeance on their enemies. We are not the only people put under the Curse. Many people are waiting for the Tear of dusa!” Mo Fan inford him.
“Aren’t you going to tell the people of the European University Institute?” Mu Bai said.
“What is that nonsense? Why would I bother sharing the money with them? How much is everyone going to get if we split the money among all of us? Besides, they should be grateful to us for helping them to get rid of the Cruse. Do they seriously think they have a share in the reward too?” Mo Fan said.
“That’s right, they are so useless, they can’t do anything apart from boast!” Zhao Manyan said.
“How about Heidi?” Mu Bai said.
“Heidi is a little innocent, so it’s better not to tell her first. Otherwise, she might let the cat out of the bag. We’ll tell her at the end,” Mo Fan said after a mont of thought.
“Mm,” Mu Bai nodded. He also agreed not to share the reward with the people of the European University Institute!
“Tell where the spot is, I’ll go have a look first. We’ll leave right away if I can catch it. If I can’t, we’ll ask the others for help. That Super Mage Vani might still be useful to us,” Mo Fan said.
The people of the European University Institute were not weak, especially ntor Vani, who had one of his Elents at the Super Level. He might be able to lend them a hand if anything happened.
However, if Mo Fan could do it himself, he had no reason to ask the others for help. It was better to keep the fortune to himself!
—
The three did not move out together, as it might make the people of the European University Institute suspicious. Mo Fan pretended like he was going to scout the area. He asked the others to stay there and wait for him patiently.
Mo Fan followed Zhao Manyan’s instructions and went past a few broken-down structures. He found more hair of the young dusa under an altar that was covered in plants.
The hair was quite valuable. Mo Fan gladly put the hair he had found inside the Space Ring, and set another Roving Sand Beetle free to continue searching for the hair of the young dusa.
Mo Fan had the Dark Noble Mantle. It was extrely easy for him to move around without gathering any attention. Even if an adult dusa was around, Mo Fan could still perfectly conceal his presence and avoid getting into a fight.
Zhao Manyan told Mo Fan that the young dusa seed to be alone. There was no trace of adult dusae or the Silver Snake Warriors around.
“I’m in luck for once!” Mo Fan blurted out in joy.
He had taken a look around and did not see any snake demons nearby. The nobles among the snake demons had asked their subordinates to guard the periter, yet they did not allow those low-level creatures to hang around in the area they resided in.
An intense battle was still going on at the front line. Perhaps the dusae did not expect humans to co so deep into their territory!
The Roving Sand Beetle stopped in a hall well lit up by the moonlight, its ceiling no longer around. The little creature was munching sothing like a string of silk excitedly.
Mo Fan picked it up and discovered it was the hair of a dusa. Most importantly, it was still warm, indicating that the hair had just been shed recently!
Mo Fan was extrely excited. Three point seven billion was almost within his reach! He did not expect to earn such a great fortune on his trip to Egypt. He could finally buy so useful magic equipnt with the money!
A petite figure suddenly moved past in the hall. She seed to have noticed Mo Fan’s presence. She quickly hid in a corner covered in shadow.
The moonlight peeked into the ceiling like a veil, yet it stopped right before the corner. Mo Fan was unable to see the figure in it, yet he noticed a pair of glittering eyes!
“Co out here, I know you’re in there... let’s make a deal, either you make yourself cry and shed so tears, or I’m going to beat you up!” Mo Fan walked closer and stared at the eyes.
Mo Fan was sure that there were no adult dusae in the vicinity!
There was no sign of the Silver Snake Warriors too. Zhao Manyan had already made sure of that. This young dusa was pretty daring to co out here alone. It allowed Mo Fan to take advantage of the chance!
“Big brother, are you a bad guy?” a timid voice ca out from the corner.
Mo Fan was startled.
What the heck was going on now!?
The young dusa could speak human language?
“How did you learn to speak?” Mo Fan was curious. She was speaking in standard English!
Even though the dusae were a hybrid species of human and snake, and so of them had an appearance and intelligence very similar to that of a human, they usually behaved more like demon creatures over the past thousands of years. They were not humans!
Why did the young dusa know how to speak? Her voice was so pleasant, like the soothing sound of a chi in so bamboo woods.
“Big brother, I...I’m human,” the little girl said.
“Bullshit, co out from the shadow, let look at you,” Mo Fan said.
The young girl slowly moved out from the corner. The moonlight shone upon smooth skin that was like a delicate jade.
She slowly lifted her gaze. Her thin hair slid to the side. Her face was so pretty that Mo Fan’s heart skipped a beat upon seeing it. Her pair of huge sparkling eyes were looking at Mo Fan pitifully...
“She’s really human?” Mo Fan was stunned. He stared at the young girl.
The young girl did not dare to co out any further. She was only wearing so ragged clothes. Her skin was smooth, but so parts did seem a little dirty.
Her body was shivering, she seed to be feeling a little cold. The collarbones under her pale neck were alluring. Her delicate appearance was perfect for earning pity from others.
“What the hell happened? Why are you here!?” Mo Fan struggled to believe it.
“Brother, I’m not the dusa, I was caught here. She likes to eat the heart of young girls. She has eaten all the girls from the sa village as . I think I’m the next one...” the girl said with a trembling voice.
“You were kidnapped?” Mo Fan said.
“Mm, a group of people ca to our village. They told us they were Mages, and would teach us magic, so they brought a few of us talented ones from the village, but they were lying. They were keeping a young dusa. When she transforms every week, one of us had to die,” the little girl said.
“So people are raising a young dusa? Who are they?” Mo Fan asked with astonishnt.
“I don’t know either, they keep kidnapping people to feed them to the young dusa... brother, are you a good person?” The little girl seed a little scared. Her eyes were staring at Mo Fan.
“I won’t call myself a good person, but I won’t hurt you. Do you know where the young dusa is?” Mo Fan asked.
“She went to drink so water, at the lake not far from here...” the little girl said.
“Alright, I’ll go take a look,” Mo Fan said.
“Brother, can you save from this place? I don’t want to be eaten,” the little girl begged.
“Ugh... alright,” Mo Fan could not afford to leave the innocent little girl behind.
He reached his hand out to help the little girl up. The little girl was cowering in the corner. Mo Fan could only see her body and her face.
The little girl grabbed Mo Fan’s hand and cautiously rose to her feet. Her eyes were staring at Mo Fan with an alert look at all tis...
Mo Fan suddenly pulled with a great force, dragging the little girl out from the shadow so she was exposed under the moonlight.
“HAHAHA, do you seriously think I’m that stupid!?” Mo Fan burst out laughing. He quickly sealed her movent off by injecting the Dark Material into her body!
To think that a little girl would appear out of nowhere in a place like this, and only dared to reveal half her body to him. Wasn’t it obvious that the other half of her body would look like a snake’s?
How could Mo Fan possibly believe in her nonsense? Even if she could speak the human language, Mo Fan was quite confident that she was the young dusa. The dusae were good at tricking people. They could even cast illusions on their enemies to make them believe they were won. Mo Fan was not the naive young man that believed in fairy tales anymore. There was no way he would be tricked by such lies!
Mo Fan was laughing at how naive the young dusa was, trying to trick him with such a petty lie.
However, he heard soone crying.
The little girl had burst into tears.
Mo Fan was still grabbing at her hand. He looked at her lower body...
Skinny buttocks, slender legs, and the mysterious little garden that he could not afford to look at directly...
“This...this...” Mo Fan was stunned once again. More precisely, his mind completely went blank.
It was not a snake!
It was not the body of a snake!
It was indeed the body of a young girl!
The young girl was terrified. She was crying out loud, yet she did not dare to resist since Mo Fan was extrely rough with his pull.
“Are you really a human?” Mo Fan blushed.
He did not think she was actually a little girl instead of the young dusa. He was sure that he was not being tricked by an illusion. Everything he saw was real!
“I”m sorry, I’m sorry, I thought you were lying, I thought you were the young dusa...” Mo Fan quickly apologized.
Mo Fan imdiately felt his head hurting. In that case, the young dusa was indeed feasting on humans, and she enjoyed eating little girls like her if it could aid her growth. Most importantly, a group of Mages was kidnapping the little girls for the young dusa!

This will certainly all go smoothly, and the girl is not involved at all.
