Versatile Mage: Undying Fire

Chapter 93 Shawang River

Finally, Zhao Manyan brought another person with him, a girl named Chen Ying. She was Zhao Manyan’s cousin and was one of the most powerful students in the Imperial Capital Magic Academy.

After everyone gathered, the group started their journey. They prepared their own equipment according to Lingling's requirements. They were a group of young people with a lot of blood. They set off as soon as they said they would, and headed for Dunhuang.

When they arrive in Dunhuang, they can immediately feel the special charm of this yellow land that can open their minds.

Looking around, the endless yellow sand spreads to the far horizon, looking extremely vast.

The mounds in the yellow sand are slightly brown and layered on top of each other, some high and some low.

Slightly different from the continuous and flat land in the south and east, the land here is divided into different layers. In the vast expanse, you often feel that the scorching sun disappears suddenly, and there is a shadow in front of you that makes your eyes a little uncomfortable. When you look up, you will find that it is a fault. The fault surface extends to both sides like a city wall, and the land in front is on this earth wall fault...

Although all the people in the group were mages, not everyone had the ability to move and transform, so several of them sat on the locally trained wind camels, and they were gradually approaching the famous Burning Plain!

The distance was not very far, but for some reason the distribution of the demons suddenly became dense when they passed a fault line!

The people here call this fault line the boundary marker line. The direction from which Mo Fan and his companions came is the boundary of Dunhuang City. There are security zones within the boundary, but if you go deeper into the boundary marker line, you will be surrounded by dangers.

There are many creatures living in the desert Gobi. The rich earth and fire elements lead to the appearance of a large number of elemental monsters. In addition, the local overlord Sand Tiger Demon is distributed everywhere. The general hunting wizard team has to be extra vigilant after crossing the boundary line!

When they reached the boundary marker, the wind camels were no longer able to be used. These transport camels, which were not much stronger than livestock, would become weak in the legs once they smelled the slightest scent of demons, and they dared not cross the boundary marker.

Everyone could only let go of the wind camels and climb down the sinking desolate land. The heart-pounding roars coming from some bulging sand dunes in the distance were like a group of guards on patrol, using their voices to convey messages, telling the creatures on this land that could no longer hold back - prey was falling into the trap!

"Hoho~~~~~~~~~~~!"

When we had gone less than five kilometers, a roaring wind carrying heavy sand came from between two sand dunes.

The roaring sound was so powerful that the accumulated sand dunes began to shake off the sand flow!

“What bad luck! I just came in and I ran into this local tyrant!” Zhao Manyan knew what kind of creature it was as soon as he heard the cry and cursed loudly.

"It's a sand howling tiger, a relatively ferocious creature among the general-level creatures. Don't be careless." Lingling said to everyone.

The Sand Howling Tiger was obviously coming towards them. Its eyes, wide open and emitting green light, allowed it to be seen from a long distance.

This guy stared at everyone.

At this time, Xinxia said, "It's very hungry, and hunger makes it very irritable. It should have wounds on its body, so it is in some pain."

A magician of the psychic system can sense the inner thoughts of demons.

"Do we want to fight?" Bai Tingting said. It was obvious that there were so many of them that they couldn't escape.

Mo Fan said, "We are in a hurry. Lin Ran, you go and handle it."

"Huh? Oh my god, don't you want to practice for a while?" Lin Ran couldn't help but say.

Chen Ying looked at Lin Ran curiously. She had heard from Zhao Manyan that Lin Ran was very strong, but she didn't know how strong he was.

"I don't want to go, you go." Lin Ran patted the Dark Wolf's body and said.

The Dark Wolf looked at Ye Xinxia who was sitting on it. It also wanted to see how strong the Sand Howling Tiger was.

Lin Ran held Ye Xinxia in his arms, and then the Dark Wolf rushed out in an instant.

Zhao Manyan looked at the Dark Wolf curiously. He saw the Dark Wolf rush to the Sand Howling Tiger and bite off the tiger's neck in one bite.

Zhao Manyan opened his mouth wide. "Damn! Did we kill the Sha Xiaohu like this?"

"After all, it is now a commander-level Dark Wolf, so it is very easy to deal with the general-level Sand Howling Tiger. Okay, let's move on." Lin Ran said.

Chen Ying looked at Lin Ran. This guy could probably beat most of the students at the Imperial Capital Magic Academy with such a perverted summoned beast. At least she couldn't beat this dark wolf.

After getting rid of the Sha Xiaohu, Lingling said, "Keep going. Don't waste time here. We will reach the Sha Wang River soon."

The Sandy River was one of the most dangerous places on this trip. Lingling felt that even with Ye Xinxia it was still not safe, and only with Lin Ran would it be absolutely safe.

Everyone moved on.

At this time, Bai Tingting approached Mo Fan and asked, "Is Xinxia Lin Ran's girlfriend?"

Because Lin Ran and Ye Xinxia acted very close, she made this guess.

Mo Fan looked at Lin Ran and Ye Xinxia and nodded, "I guess so. I don't know why this bastard Lin Ran is so lucky. In my opinion, he is not worthy of Xinxia at all."

At this time, Zhang Xiaohou squeezed over and said, "The last time, Li Man from the Military Control Commission asked me about Lin Ran not long ago. I said that Lin Ran was still a student. Li Man was silent for a while and then left. She should be interested in Lin Ran, but she may think that Lin Ran is too young now."

Li Man was a female military commander with a very hot body. Mo Fan still remembered her because she was very beautiful.

While Mo Fan and the others were talking, Lingling was also chatting with Ye Xinxia.

Lingling said, "Lin Ran has another beautiful teacher. Sister Xinxia, ​​do you know about this?"

Ye Xinxia nodded and said, "I know."

She knew about Tang Yue's affairs a long time ago.

Lin Ran now regretted letting Xinxia come. It was obvious that Lingling wanted to do something bad.

"It's great~, the fair and graceful Mu Ningxue, the gentle and generous Sister Xinxia, ​​and two gentle and lovely vampire maids, plus a lively and cute big-breasted roommate, and a goddess roommate, wow~, Lin Ran's life is full of beautiful girls." Lingling said.

At this time, Lin Ran was unhappy, and he said, "Don't talk nonsense, little brat."

Lingling turned around and made faces at Lin Ran. Lin Ran wanted to slap Lingling, but after thinking about it, he decided not to, after all, she was just a little kid.

After listening to Lingling's words, Zhao Manyan also felt that there were too many beautiful girls in Lin Ran's life. Although there were also beauties in his life, they were still a little inferior to those like Mu Nujiao. A real goddess was very difficult to deal with.

Zhao Manyan was now somewhat envious of Lin Ran.

Not long after they started walking forward, they soon discovered several figures rushing towards them in the blowing yellow sand.

When they got closer, they found that they were a group of wizard hunters, and they were all relatively young. They should be the most outstanding wizards.

After they arrived here and found the body of the Sand Howling Tiger, their expressions suddenly changed. One of the female mages with a dark and yellow face walked up unconvinced, pointed at Lin Ran and the others and said unhappily, “You are too shameless. The Sand Howling Tiger we injured was snatched away by you without us noticing. Don’t you know that hunting mages are not allowed to fight over the prey they have already locked on!”

This black and yellow female mage had an imposing aura and her voice was so sharp and thin that everyone felt uncomfortable listening to it.

“Auntie, when we found the Sand Howling Tiger, it pounced towards us. If we don’t kill it, are we going to end up in its stomach?” Zhao Manyan said very unhappily.

"Who are you calling auntie!!! I'm not even thirty years old!" The black and yellow female mage was so angry that she was fuming.

“Ah? With your temper, you’re no different from an old lady whose square dance territory has been taken away.” Mo Fan was also a man of few words, and he immediately echoed Zhao Manyan’s words.

The black and yellow female mage's face turned green with anger, and she looked like she was about to teach these two ignorant guys a lesson.

At this time, a man with a black beard and a masculine look like a captain stood up behind her and grabbed the black and yellow female mage.

He did not advocate direct action. After all, this was in the demon area, and it was best for the hunters to help each other. However, they felt relieved when their prey was snatched away inexplicably. The sand tiger was injured by their combined efforts, and it was no longer as ferocious as it was in its prime...

“No wonder the Dark Wolf killed it with one bite. It turns out it was injured.” Zhang Xiaohou suddenly realized.

But Xinxia had said before that this Sand Howling Tiger was injured.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this Sand Howling Tiger must have taken us some time to consume, otherwise you wouldn't have been able to get it so easily. How about this, let's check to see if there are any strange bones, blood, skin, etc. in the Sand Howling Tiger's corpse, and then we'll split it 50-50." The captain with the black beard said in a negotiable tone.

Mo Fan was unhappy.

They lost the prey, and it took them such a long time to come here and say the prey is theirs, and they still have the nerve to ask for 50% of the share!

What a beautiful thought!!
After all, the Sand Howling Tiger is a notorious demon, and its corpse is very valuable. Even if nothing can make a fortune, this relatively well-preserved corpse can be sold for hundreds of thousands!

Everything is negotiable, but when it comes to money, Mo Fan won't give the other party a penny. Of course, the same goes for Lin Ran. Both of them value money very much.

"Don't you even have the dignity to be a hunter?" Lingling was also very unhappy with the other party's behavior.

"Hey, you little yellow-haired girl, who are you calling shameless? This prey originally belonged to us. Come down here and see if I can teach you a lesson!" The black and yellow female magician got furious and pointed at Lingling and cursed angrily.

"We are also following the hunter's rules. How can you be so shameless?" Captain Blackbeard's face darkened.

"Hasn't anyone taught you to respect your elders?" Lingling said.

"Senior? Hahaha, you really made me laugh to death. You are just a bunch of tender skinned people, and you look like a group of students who just graduated from college and haven't even grown all their hair yet. If we hadn't injured Sha Xiaohu first, you would have turned into a pile of bones. You should thank us, Sha Xiaohu is not someone who can be defeated by you guys who are good at talking..." The black and yellow female magician said sarcastically.

This woman was very talkative and kept on chattering, while Lingling calmly took out her hunter medal and placed it in front of the black and yellow female mage in an otherworldly manner.

In an instant, the black and yellow female mage's eyes widened and she didn't seem to have time to stop her mouth.

She looked at Lingling in disbelief, and then looked at the Hunter Medal in disbelief.

The Hunter Medal is the same as a magic tool. It must be imprinted in the soul. This kind of thing cannot be faked.

These hunters are all a group of high-level hunters, and they are still a mountain of reward points away from the master hunter.

The Hunter Alliance requires low-level hunters to respect their seniors and not to compete with their seniors for prey, let alone any disrespectful behavior towards their seniors...

The black and yellow female mage had a very rich expression on her face and was speechless for a long time.

The displeasure on the blackbeard captain's face also froze.

So this little girl is a master hunter, then what about the others in her team???
Amazing, this team! !
No wonder the Sand Howling Tiger turned into a corpse not long after he left them!

……

In the end, Captain Blackbeard and the woman in green and yellow took their men and ran away in disgrace, completely losing face.

Who made them so greedy? They had obviously lost their prey but they had to come here to force a share of the spoils, and ended up running into such a demon-like existence like Lingling.

This small episode passed quickly, and everyone continued to move forward along the undulating sand.

This battlefield is not boundless. After walking for about a day, the land turned into a Gobi with countless exposed rocks.

The Sand Howling Tigers appeared more frequently in the Gobi land. Everyone tried to avoid them if they could. If they happened to run into them, they would have no choice but to fight them.

Zhang Xiaohou was in the team, and what he had learned in the military came in handy at this time. He used his agile body to lure away the unavoidable Sand Howling Tigers.

If you encounter a Howling Sand Tiger, let the Dark Wolf rush out and finish it off in one gulp...

So there was no danger along the way, and gradually they arrived at the area where the Shawang River was located.

The Shawang River is a plateau river that has dried up for countless years. After years of wind erosion, the entire river has become extremely broad. Even on a map, the Shawang River looks like a long earth-colored dragon lying on the river. On the land of Dunhuang, its length spans almost half of Gansu Province, and its narrowest point is probably more than ten kilometers!
Everyone stopped, Lingling looked at Lin Ran and said, "Do you have any ideas?"

Lin Ran touched his chin and said, "Just go straight through. The Dark Wolf can hide all of us, so we shouldn't be discovered. Even if we are discovered, we still have Xinxia to appease the monsters under the Sand River. Of course, we are a team. Do you have any good suggestions?"
