Versatile Mage: I became the Great Mofan

Chapter 61. Little Karami is ostracized
The Dongting Lake Plain also belongs to the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River and is located in the northern part of the province.

Dongting Lake is not just a famous scenic spot or river. This huge lake covering an area of ​​nearly 40,000 square kilometers is the third most dangerous lake in Daxia that is often mentioned in books.

Such a huge lake is surrounded by various ecological circles, and there are countless monsters living in it!

Among them, the most notorious tribe of giant lizard-skulled monsters, which have occupied Jinlin City as their lair, uses Dongting Lake as their base.

After arriving at Kangning, the nearest city to Jinlin City, by air, the 17 people from Mingzhu Academy and Imperial Capital Academy had to continue on foot. Along the way, Jingjing, who was a top student with a photographic memory, began to introduce the situation around Jinlin City and mentioned the demon nests, tribes, and tribes.
Mo Fan knew all this, but he never asked about it.

However, her explanation did not last long as she was interrupted by Liao Mingxuan.

After all, they don't come here to repeat the class.

Moreover, they were already about fifty kilometers away from Anjie at this time. There were still guards patrolling and keeping watch in this area, and they had not encountered any blind monsters. But if they went deeper into the mountains and forests, it would be hard to say what would happen!

"We just need to follow this abandoned railway."

Song Xia, holding the map, glanced at Mo Fan and then pointed at the moss-covered railway track under her feet.

The railway track was completely rusted and stained with brown stains. It was covered with weeds and moss, and extended straight into the green forest in the distance. The part that entered the forest was completely covered by thorns and tall grass. If you don't look carefully, you won't know that this was once a railway.

In the past, the railway belonged to Anjie. With the destruction of Jinlin City, the area where this railway extended naturally became a place of demons. It is normal for it to be abandoned like this.

In short, the railway track is a natural automatic route-finding sign, and you can always reach Jinlin City by following it!

"Okay, let's do this." Mo Fan nodded.

"Since the school requires us to cooperate to complete this training mission, the seventeen of us cannot act like a pile of loose sand. There must be someone in the team to take charge so that everyone can act in an organized and orderly manner." Lu Zhenghe straightened his back out of habit and spoke in a tone that he thought was very majestic.

However, as soon as he finished speaking, Liao Mingxuan burst into laughter, which was full of ridicule: "Lu Zhenghe, you don't even have a wolf now, you are not still dreaming of becoming a boss like before, right? Don't have such unrealistic dreams, you don't have the capital anymore."

"You..." Lu Zhenghe's face turned red, he clenched his fists, his knuckles turned slightly white due to the force, the anger in his heart rolled in his chest, but in front of everyone, he could only grit his teeth and forcefully swallow the anger that was about to erupt back into his stomach.

"Hey, allowing you to come with us for training is already a special favor to you. Moreover, given your current condition, we may have to protect you when you face danger. You'd better forget about commanding such an important matter and don't meddle in this." Xu Dalong said mercilessly.

Normally, they were often angered by Lu Zhenghe's arrogance. At that time, Lu Zhenghe relied on his Ghost Pattern Wolf and always looked domineering.

Lu Zhenghe now is like a tiger with its teeth pulled out, a little Karami who has lost his support. Naturally, they will not let him live comfortably.

Although Lu Zhenghe had resentment boiling in his heart, as if it would erupt like a volcano at any time, he still forced himself to endure it.

"Okay..." At this time, Jingjing's clear voice sounded. She spoke to stop the quarrel. She then looked around and said, "I think we can let Mo Fan lead the team. Mo Fan's strength is obvious to all. He has strong combat experience and adaptability. With him leading the team, he can lead us to complete this training mission better."

When everyone heard Jingjing's proposal, they looked at each other and nodded slightly. Naturally, they all had no objection. In fact, judging from the personnel configuration of the Imperial Capital Academy, Mu Ningxue could have led the team.

But for some reason, neither Jingjing nor Zhao Mingyue liked Mu Ningxue. Perhaps this was the unspeakable repulsion between people of the same sex?
This subtle feeling lingered in their hearts, making them subconsciously not want Mu Ningxue to take the command position.

After deciding, the group moved forward along the abandoned railway tracks.

Lu Zhenghe, who was scolded, followed behind with a gloomy face and didn't say anything. He was like a silent machine.

However, the look in his eyes, as he stared at Liao Mingxuan and Xu Dalong, was like two poisoned swords, containing great resentment.

That gaze was as if it was real, as if it wanted to pierce two bloody holes in their bodies.

Not only that, when he looked at Mo Fan, the hatred in his eyes was like a rolling black tide.

When he looked at Mu Ningxue, his eyes were even more complicated, and there seemed to be a hint of unspeakable emotion mixed in with his resentment.

The reason why he had such feelings towards Mu Ningxue was perhaps because love turned into hate.

In the past, he had pursued her so passionately, like a devout believer, and regarded her as the brightest star in his heart.

Whenever she needed protection, he would always stand up to protect her without hesitation and do everything he could to safeguard her dignity and safety.

But now, when he was in such a desperate situation, she just stood there quietly, without saying a word, without speaking for him or showing any sympathy for him.

This strong contrast was like a basin of cold water, which extinguished the flame of love in his heart and left only the ashes of resentment.

But Lu Zhenghe overlooked one thing.

Mu Ningxue never asked him for anything from the beginning to the end. Everything was done voluntarily by him.

In fact, when Mo Fan occasionally looked back, he also noticed Lu Zhenghe's hatred.

To be honest, all this is because of myself.

But if you ask him about guilt, he doesn't feel any guilt at all.
Fifteen years ago, the railway was abandoned and basically buried in weeds. It is rare that it is visited today, not by a train, but by a group of experienced students from a prestigious school.

The railroad tracks in the wilderness are relatively easy to travel on, as long as there are no demons using them as beds, they are basically unobstructed. However, once the railroad tracks enter the mountains, or even pass through some extremely dense tunnels, it would be terrifying.

"I looked at the map and found that this tunnel is two kilometers long. Judging from the frequency of demons we encountered before, this tunnel is likely inhabited by demons. I suggest that we go directly over this mountain and not deal with those unknown species and unknown numbers of creatures in the dark cave." Song Xia suggested to Mo Fan.
