Full-Time Magister: The Evil Emperor Descends
Chapter 614 Encountering an Acquaintance on the Scorching Plain
At night, Mo Fan and his group set up camp near Huozhu Mountain. They had almost plundered all the resources in the surrounding area during the day, and their harvest was quite plentiful.
Now they are sitting around the campfire, organizing the resources they have collected. Since Mo Fan also has a spatial ring, he is not worried about not having enough space.
Ye Xinxia and Ding Yumin had no time to care about the resources they had plundered; instead, they were worried about Mo Xie on the mountaintop. Fortunately, the necklace could sense his presence, and he said that he was safe on the mountain and that they should come up again at dawn the next morning.
Zhao Chenying was equally distracted; of course, her focus wasn't on Mo Xie, but on the Fire Calamity Fruit.
As they were eating and drinking, a large group of people suddenly approached, making everyone alert and prompting them to quickly gather their resources.
However, Zhao Manyan and Zhao Chenying's expressions changed, and joy appeared on their faces. They recognized that it was the Zhao family's team.
"Uncle!"
"father!"
The Zhao family team is the strongest among all the teams that entered the North Corner of Zhuoyuan, otherwise they wouldn't have been so fast!
Because of the riots in the Sand River, the major powers could only select some low-level mages with special abilities to enter the Sand River.
Among the Zhao family's group, Zhao Yulin was the only high-level mage among all the mages who crossed the Sand River.
When the leader, Zhao Yulin, saw his daughter and Zhao's precious child, he was completely dumbfounded. He never expected that these students would be so bold as to venture into the treacherous Northwest.
"Oh, you kids are really brave. We'll go up the mountain first thing tomorrow morning. You can come with us from now on; it'll be safer that way."
Zhao Yulin was a kind man, so he let Zhao Manyan and his group join his team, and they would head to Pingdingshan together early the next morning.
It wasn't until Zhao Chenying entered the group that she suddenly noticed a person wrapped in white cloth sitting on a desert fire horse, staring at her with black eyes.
"Mom, why are you here?"
The man in white simply nodded slightly, beckoned Zhao Chenying to his side, but said nothing.
Zhao Chenying looked at Zhao Yulin with delight. She had thought that her father had become so heartless as to give up on finding the Fire Calamity Fruit and only wanted to enjoy the rich Zhao family. She never expected that after this Fire Calamity, he would actually bring his mother here in person.
……
Inside the Fire Cloud Forest, a group of people seemed to be the first to arrive at Pingding Mountain. They were dressed differently, but it was not difficult to tell that they were a team of military mages.
The group of military mages wandered aimlessly through the forest, seemingly lost.
"Sir, isn't it too dangerous for us to go up the mountain tonight?"
A young man leading the way looked around and asked.
In fact, once they arrived here, they didn't know where to go and could only wander aimlessly through the Fire Cloud Forest.
The old man who had once entered this place only told them that the Fire Calamity Fruit should appear in this forest where the higher the temperature, the denser the growth, but he did not know the specific direction.
"We have limited time, so we must hurry up and make arrangements, and also check if the Fire Calamity Fruit has been taken away."
A woman walking in the middle of the group said, wiping the sweat from her body.
The woman was wearing a green camouflage vest, her full, rounded breasts slightly pushing open the neckline, revealing her fair and deep cleavage.
She wore denim shorts, exposing her extremely long legs to the air. The proportions were perfect, and the well-defined muscles made her long legs look powerful.
She wore a pair of boots, which made her already slender figure appear even taller and sexier.
Moreover, the distinct boundary between her wheat-colored and snow-white skin creates a beautiful contrast.
Nan Yu was covered in sweat. Her original short brown hair had grown a little longer and was tied up at the back of her head, with some strands sticking to her skin.
This Fire Cloud Forest is completely different from other places, whether it's day or night. It's like a furnace that can roast people alive.
"Hey, did you guys hear that sound? Like some kind of monster sticking out its tongue?"
"Stop being paranoid. It's so hot here, there's no way there could be any demons."
"Hey, Yezi, do you have any water? Could I have a sip... Yezi?"
The bronze-skinned officer in front turned around, only to find that there was no one behind him!
He looked down and suddenly noticed drag marks on the fallen leaves. His expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly reported to Nan Yu in front of him.
"Commander Nan Yu, Ye Zi, who was in charge of keeping watch in the rear, has disappeared!"
"Oh no, Xu Dong is missing too. He was probably scouting ahead for us."
Upon hearing this, Nan Yu's expression changed, and she immediately addressed everyone in the team.
"Oh no, we need to get out of here right now!"
Upon hearing the order, the bronze-skinned officer exclaimed in astonishment, "Aren't we going to save Ye Zi? How can we abandon our comrade?"
"If you want to die here, then keep looking for Ye Zi's corpse!"
At this moment, Nan Yu appeared cold and ruthless. She also wanted to save her companion, but her sound system couldn't detect how the other party dragged people away. Presumably, that thing must be very powerful. Going there rashly would be suicide.
As the team leader, she had to ensure the safety of everyone else and quickly lead the remaining people away.
Nan Yu shared this deduction with his team members, who were even more terrified. However, the bronze-skinned officer asked a question in bewilderment.
"Since its strength far surpasses ours, why does it kill us one by one instead of killing us all at once?"
"It must be enjoying the torment of a cat catching mice. If we had stayed where we were, it would have killed us one by one."
Nan Yu listened to the sounds around her with her sense of sound, her tone very certain. Suddenly, she heard footsteps, her eyes sharpened as she looked in one direction, and she shouted loudly.
"Who is it, who is there!"
Under the wary gazes of the group, a figure emerged from the woods, seemingly dragging two objects in his hands.
Then, Moye's appearance was illuminated by the firelight, and she was dragging the two military mages who had disappeared earlier, who appeared to be unconscious.
"Moxie!"
Upon seeing this, Nan Yu's face lit up with surprise. He strode over with his long, straight legs and hugged Mo Xie tightly.
Mo Xie released his grip on her collar, letting the two fall straight to the ground, and then wrapped his arms around Nan Yu's slender waist.
Ye Zi, Xu Dong: ?
"Alright, let go now, this sticky stuff is disgusting."
Upon hearing this, Nan Yu released her arms from Mo Xie's neck and playfully punched him in the chest. Meeting an acquaintance here made her feel much more at ease.
The military mages behind them stared in shock at the scene before them. Their familiar commander was so intimate with a man. If this got back to the military mages in the Western Military Region who were pursuing Nan Yu, they would go crazy!
However, upon seeing their two teammates lying on the ground, they quickly ran over to check on them.
"Don't worry, they've just fainted; they're not seriously injured."
Mo Xie explained that he had Jiang Feng's aura on him, and that the thing wouldn't attack him, so he had no choice but to abandon his prey and run away.
"Moye, what are you doing at the northern corner of Zhuoyuan?"
Upon hearing Nan Yu's words, Mo Xie truthfully replied.
"I came to the northern corner of Zhuoyuan to find Yan Ji, what about you?"
Nan Yu stopped smiling and spoke slowly.
"We're here to find the Fire Calamity Fruit, but more importantly, to arrest a traitor from the military..."
"Commander Nan Yu!"
Seeing that Nan Yu so easily revealed the secret mission to others, an officer hurriedly reminded him.
"Don't worry, this one is also a military mages."
"Oh, so that's it..."
Upon learning that Mo Xie was also a military mage, the officer gave an awkward smile and nodded at him.
"Our military discovered the traitor's trail in the northern corner of Zhuoyuan. Considering the timing, we suspect that she might make a move against Yanji, so we decided to set up an ambush."
"She has been hiding for ten years, and now we have finally found a trace of her. The Dunhuang Military Region will definitely not let her go. The only question now is where that guy is."
Upon hearing this, Mo Xie nodded. Nan Yu's deduction was actually quite accurate, but that guy wasn't looking for Yan Ji; his target was the Fire Calamity Fruit.
He suddenly smiled, looked at Nan Yu, and slowly spoke.
"I might know where that traitor you're talking about is."
"you know?!"
Everyone was shocked and looked at Mo Xie in disbelief.
"Okay, let's leave first. I'll tell you on the way." (End of Chapter)
