The entire hunter mage community is filled with a deluge of news every day. While most of this news exchange takes place within the Hunter's Hall, valuable intelligence can be gleaned from certain special locations. Just as news often circulates in taverns and inns throughout a martial arts world, hunter mages also have their own gathering places.
Zhao Manyan was very knowledgeable about these matters, and after spending nearly ten million of Mo Fan's current wealth, he quickly found all the information about Yan Ji.
Mo Fan considered the ten million as a loss, since the fire calamity was imminent and the Scorching Plains were full of treasures. If Mo Fan went there, he would definitely not return so hastily.
Putting everything else aside, if he could find more fire-type spirit seeds to devour, it would be a good thing for him!
After receiving this information, Mo Fan said, "Since I have nothing to do right now, I'll go."
"You're planning to go? Is that all the information you have?" Zhao Manyan asked, somewhat surprised.
"Going there won't do any harm; it'll be a good experience…" Mo Fan said.
"Don't mention training to me," Zhao Manyan said with a dark expression.
"How can a magician not have a heart that loves to court death?" Mo Fan said in a serious tone.
Zhao Manyan was also impressed and looked at Mo Fan, saying, "Brother, with so little information, aren't you going to consider it?"
"Forget about it, my money didn't grow on trees."
"Can I not go?" Zhao Manyan thought for a moment and said.
"If you're not afraid I'll blast you to ashes," Mo Fan said with a smile.
"Okay, I'll go."
Zhao Manyan genuinely didn't want to take the risk, but what could he do? The person who called him was Mo Fan. He was already at a high level; even if he took a risk in Zhuoyuan, it wouldn't be too much of a problem.
Most importantly, Zhao Manyan, despite his seemingly cowardly exterior, actually enjoys adventure and excitement.
This might be a common problem among the dim-witted children from wealthy families.
"However, it's definitely not something the two of us can do alone. Let's find some more people, and they must be trustworthy," Zhao Manyan said earnestly.
Upon hearing this, Mo Fan thought to himself: I came to you precisely to have you bring along a key figure!
Then, without saying a word, he nodded and said, "Take Lingling with you, and also Xinxia, the mind-based mage. Hmm, Jiaojiao also needs some training, and the monkey seems to have nothing to do."
He certainly didn't need their help; to put it bluntly, he was just training with his "accessory." These people were genuinely there to lend a hand when needed.
"No, you're still planning to bring that little loli along??" Zhao Manyan didn't have much contact with Lingling, and even the Scaled Demon Mother was quickly dealt with by Mo Fan.
So he couldn't understand why he would bring a little girl with him in a place like the wilderness.
Are you trying to act cute for demons?
"You don't know anything! Lingling may not know magic, but her usefulness is immense. She knows how to use her brain!" Mo Fan said.
Zhao Manyan didn't care. Since Mo Fan was strong enough that he didn't mind the little girl being just an accessory, why would he have any objections?
After Mo Fan told the others about it, they all said it was fine. Mu Nujiao actually had some reservations about training, but she felt reassured being with Mo Fan. Besides, Mo Fan was already at a high level, so she naturally didn't want to fall too far behind.
Lingling spent several days thoroughly researching information about Zhuoyuan before they met up at the Qingtian Hunting Grounds. Unsurprisingly, Zhao Manyan brought his cousin, Chenying. Once everyone was gathered, the group of seven set off for Dunhuang.
Upon arriving in Dunhuang, one can immediately feel the unique charm of this yellow land that can broaden one's horizons.
Looking out, the vast expanse of yellow sand stretches to the distant horizon.
Amidst the yellow sand, the mounds, slightly brownish in color, rise in layers, some high and some low.
Unlike the continuous and flat lands of the south and east, the land here is divided into different layers. In the vast expanse, you will often feel the sun suddenly disappear, and ahead is a shadow that makes your eyes feel a little uncomfortable. Looking up, you will see a fault line, which extends to both sides like a city wall. The land in front is on this earthen fault line.
Although all six of them were mages except for Lingling, not everyone had the ability to teleport or transform. Riding on the locally tamed wind camels, they gradually approached the famous Scorching Plains!
The distance wasn't too far, but for some reason, the distribution of demons suddenly became denser when they crossed a fault line in the land!
The locals call this section of the boundary line the boundary marker. The direction from which Mo Fan and his group came is the territory of Dunhuang City. There is a security perimeter within the territory, but going deeper into the boundary marker line is fraught with danger.
The desert and Gobi are home to a multitude of creatures. The abundance of earth and fire elements has led to the emergence of numerous elemental demons. In addition, the Sand Tiger Demon Clan, a local tyrant, is scattered throughout the area. Ordinary hunter mage teams must be on high alert once they cross the boundary marker!
Once they reached the boundary marker, the wind camels became useless. These transportation camels, which were not much better than livestock, would turn weak in the knees as soon as they smelled even the slightest hint of demons, and dared not cross the boundary marker.
After releasing the camels, Mo Fan summoned the Flame Howling Wolf to drag Lingling and Xinxia, and then the group continued their journey.
However, they hadn't gone more than a few steps when they encountered the charging Sand Roaring Tiger.
This can also be considered the dominant creature in Dunhuang.
Among warrior-level warriors, they are also extremely powerful.
However, even excluding Mo Fan, a high-level combatant, it would be a piece of cake for their team to deal with a Sand Howling Tiger right now.
The monkeys were almost always the first to charge out.
Immediately afterwards, he began to toy with his opponent using the Wind Orbit technique. After finding the right opportunity, he used his earth-elemental power to pin Sha Xiaohu down into a pit.
After watching the monkey's actions, Mu Nujiao was also a little surprised.
She had her own understanding of wind-element cultivation at this age and considered herself to be one of the better ones. But now she realized that Zhang Xiaohou, who hadn't even been equipped with a wind-element spirit seed yet, was actually more outstanding than her!
She knew that Zhang Xiaohou was Master Wei, and because of this, she saw some of her own shortcomings.
While Mu Nujiao was still somewhat shocked, Zhao Manyan and Chen Ying had already begun to make their move. Sha Xiaohu was trapped there and subjected to their bombardment, and was quickly killed.
Yanxiaolang looked at the dead Shaxiaohu and raised his wolf head with disdain.
If it weren't carrying Lingling and Xinxia, it wouldn't even need to lift a finger; it could easily annihilate the opponent itself. What happened to the tiger demon?
Ever since it followed Mo Fan in cutting off the Winged Wolf's head, the Flame Howling Wolf has feared no one except Mo Fan!
Looking at the dead Sha Xiaohu, Mo Fan said, "This stupid demon must have been injured, and judging from its appearance, it was chased and ran away in a panic."
The Sand Howling Tiger is a mid-tier bloodline among the demon race, not so easily killed. Furthermore, while the Flame Howling Wolf is a wolf, its advanced-stage aura alone should keep it at bay. Yet, it not only approached but also dared to roar and
