After dealing with the Sand Tiger, unsurprisingly, they encountered a group of hunter mages.
But the loss of their prey was none of their business, and they left feeling rather foolish.
The minor incident quickly passed, and the group continued their journey along the undulating sand dunes. This sandy area wasn't boundless; after about a day's travel, the land transformed into a Gobi Desert dotted with countless exposed rocks. The frequency of Sand Tiger appearances on the Gobi Desert increased, and the group avoided them whenever possible. In cases of unavoidable encounters, Zhao Manyan and the others worked together to deal with them.
Zhang Xiaohou's learning was clearly very practical at this time.
Mo Fan also told Mu Nujiao to learn more from her.
She had no objection to this.
She could naturally see that Mo Fan had brought her out to train her, to put it bluntly.
There was no danger along the way, and we gradually arrived at the area where the Sand River was located.
The Shawang River is a plateau stream that has been dry for countless years. After years of wind erosion, the entire river channel has become incredibly wide. Even on a map, the Shawang River looks like a long, earth-colored dragon lying on the land of Dunhuang. Its length is almost half of Gansu, and its narrowest point is probably more than ten kilometers long!
And here, the terrifying White Sand Demon Soldiers reside.
However, with Xin Xia's connection, these aren't major problems.
After resting for a night, they continued their journey. Although a slight mishap occurred at the end, the group fought their way across the sandy river.
Although Mo Fan did not use powerful high-level destruction magic, even relying on mid-level magic, the number of White Sand Demon Soldiers he killed was far beyond what they could match.
In the wilderness, no matter how high one's cultivation level, destructive magic cannot be released casually. The area where these white sand demon soldiers reside is not only inhabited by white sand demon soldiers, but also contains a commander-level demon.
Once a high-level spell is cast, it will be easily detected.
After the battle, they successfully crossed the sand river. Once across, the group rested there.
Mo Fan didn't expend too much energy, but Zhao Manyan and the others did use up quite a bit.
While everyone was resting, Mu Nujiao and Ye Xinxia naturally sat down on either side of Mo Fan.
"How are you feeling?" Mo Fan asked as he moved his hands around.
"It's alright~"
Just as Mu Nujiao was about to speak, she suddenly felt an inappropriate sensation in her lower body.
She didn't look back, but she knew perfectly well what it was!
And who else could she be standing next to Mo Fan but that bastard?
However, she never expected that he would attack her at this moment.
Mu Nujiao felt uncomfortable, and her face quickly flushed. After all, although she lived in the same apartment as Mo Fan, nothing romantic had ever happened. But today he...
Ironically, even though she was taken advantage of, she was too embarrassed to stand up.
After all, Zhao Manyan and the others had no idea, and were even chatting with Mo Fan.
"Jiaojiao, what's wrong? Is something bothering you?" Just as Mu Nujiao was feeling uneasy, Mo Fan asked in a serious tone.
In an instant, everyone except Xin Xia turned their attention to this.
"No, no!" Looking at Mo Fan's puzzled expression, if she hadn't been pinched, she would have really believed it wasn't this jerk.
How dare he?!
Then Mo Fan started casually bragging to Zhao Manyan and the others.
As for why Xin Xia didn't pay attention to Mu Nu Jiao, it's because, beneath her seemingly ordinary but actually cunning and powerful nature, she also possessed a cunning and powerful hand.
Xin Xia was actually a little better off; after all, since she'd reached a certain age, where wasn't Mo Fan? The only thing that made her shy was that with so many people around, Mo Fan was chatting so seriously, and she just…
Mo Fan originally just wanted to tease the two women, but unexpectedly, he ended up making Mu Nu more charming.
Tsk.
He looked at Mu Nujiao with some surprise.
Mu Nujiao stared at him with a hint of resentment and grievance, then left with a "I'm going to rest" before quickly getting up and fleeing the scene.
It's clear that Jiaojiao is a little angry.
But with Xin Xia there, Mo Fan couldn't really offer any words of comfort to her.
"Mu Nujiao seems a bit off," Zhao Manyan said at this moment.
"Really?" Mo Fan asked, feigning ignorance.
"She seemed to have a fever," Zhao Manyan guessed, recalling Mu Nujiao's flushed face earlier.
Magicians aren't made of steel; they can get sick too, and suffer from headaches and fevers.
If you get sick here, it will be very troublesome. Xinxia can heal injuries, but if you get sick, it's not something that can be resolved immediately.
"I'll go take a look," Mo Fan said naturally as he pulled his hand away from Xin Xia's body.
The others didn't think much of it.
After all, Mo Fan acted too normally. Who would have known that this bastard had been bullying people all along?
For Xinxia, it was a good thing that Mo Fan wasn't bullying her here. Otherwise, she really wouldn't be able to handle it. After all, having been bullied by Mo Fan so many times, she was extremely sensitive. If she were here, with so many people watching, especially since she was having some difficulty walking, wouldn't that be incredibly embarrassing?
When Mo Fan arrived at Mu Nujiao's tent, Mu Nujiao had already changed her pants.
"Get out of here!"
Seeing Mo Fan come in by himself, Mu Nujiao felt both wronged and angry.
"Ahem, Jiaojiao, I couldn't help it for a moment, don't be angry, don't be angry."
"Get lost! You think I'm some kind of saint?"
Mo Fan didn't let Mu Nujiao continue shouting. After all, everyone was there for training. If she got too excited and shouted loudly later, wouldn't that be a bit...?
Yes, he definitely wasn't lusting after Mu Nujiao's lips.
Mu Nujiao, who had been looking aggrieved, was now somewhat stunned.
Born into a prestigious family, she never imagined she would have a romantic relationship. She knew perfectly well that while she enjoyed the advantages of her family, her future would inevitably be controlled by them.
But then, Mo Fan just barged in out of nowhere.
She knew she should keep some distance from him, but due to various reasons, they were getting closer and closer.
Normally, if anyone dared to grope her, she would have already swept them away with a whirlwind.
But because it was Mo Fan, she didn't. As a young lady from a prestigious family, being bullied like this naturally made her feel wronged and angry.
However, after that kiss, Mu Nujiao calmed down. Although she was conflicted and struggling internally, she ultimately didn't push Mo Fan away.
