Versatile Mage: Choose one of three Hexes at the start

Chapter 123 A Bloody Scene

Night comes quickly.

The temperature difference between day and night in the Gobi Desert is extreme, so Mo Fan set up the tent before dark.

The four tents are located in four different directions, and a campfire has been lit in the center of each tent early on.

Tonight, Mo Fan and Zhao Manyan will take turns keeping watch. They can sleep in the same tent without worrying about disturbing others.

Besides, in the other three tents, Su Chi naturally slept with Mu Nujiao, Lingling slept with Xin Xia tonight, and Zhao Manyan's cousin Chen Ying slept alone in a tent because she was not familiar with the others.

When the last trace of warmth on the Gobi Desert was swallowed by darkness, everyone returned to their respective tents, leaving Mo Fan alone to sit by the campfire and keep watch for half the night.

now.

A soft, melodious sound rang out from the tent where Su Chi and Mu Nujiao were staying. The sound was so faint that Mo Fan outside could not detect it.

Snapped! !

Snapped! !

Snapped! !

"Strange, where did all these mosquitoes come from in this Gobi Desert? There weren't any when I came last time."

Seeing his girlfriend so itchy from the mosquito bites that her skin was almost red and burning, Su Chi started a mosquito-killing operation in the tent.

The Gobi Desert is very quiet at night.

Mo Fan, who was on night watch, was so bored that he started practicing fire magic around the campfire, the flames igniting and extinguishing in his hands.

After an unknown amount of time, Zhao Manyan, who had slept for half the night, came out to take over the shift.

But just then, the two suddenly heard footsteps coming from not far away.

Mo Fan and Zhao Manyan exchanged a glance, and the energetic Zhao Manyan quickly headed toward the source of the sound. After all, they were in the wild, and they couldn't afford to be careless about even the slightest disturbance.

When Zhao Manyan arrived at a protruding boulder northeast of the tent, he could clearly see what was happening not far away, thanks to the still relatively bright night.

It was a group of Sand Roaring Tigers chasing a team of hunters.

The group of hunter mages, chased by seven or eight Sand Howling Tigers, fled in panic and ended up escaping into the Sand River.

After the group had run several hundred meters into the sand, they discovered that the Sand Roaring Tigers had not followed them, but were instead watching them from the bank of the Sand River.

However, before these hunter mages could even catch their breath, they were met with Zhao Manyan's terrified gaze.

A group of white sand demon soldiers suddenly rose from the sand around the group of people. As these elemental demon generals raised their sand and stone swords high, before the hunter mages could react, the swords had already fallen on them.

In just a moment, amidst a series of horrifying screams, the people who were just celebrating their escape were reduced to mangled limbs and blood mist.

"I rely on!!!"

This incredibly bloody scene sent chills down Zhao Manyan's spine. As a playboy who frequently visited various hotels with beautiful women, when had he ever seen such a cruel sight? Zhao Manyan slowly stood up, leaning against the boulder. Whether it was because he had been squatting for too long or for some other reason, his legs began to tremble slightly.

Just as Zhao Manyan was about to leave and return to the tent, he turned around and found that everyone had arrived.

"Why are you here?" Zhao Manyan asked, puzzled.

"I just heard screams and thought something had happened to you, so I woke everyone up," Mo Fan said.

As everyone gazed at the bloody scene in the distant Shawang River, they couldn't help but feel weak in the knees.

Several girls, in particular, covered their mouths with their hands, staring blankly.

The terror of the Sand River exceeded their expectations.

"Should we just head back home?" Zhao Manyan's cousin, Chen Ying, was having second thoughts.

She should just go back to the capital's academy and continue being a top student. After her meditation sessions, she can go shopping with her girlfriends and enjoy the attention of men. Wouldn't that be much better than dancing on the edge of a knife like this?
“Yes, how about we just forget about it? We can treat this trip to Dunhuang as a sightseeing trip. If you want a suitable contracted beast, I can see if I can help you find one through the family later,” Zhao Manyan suggested directly to Mo Fan.

Mo Fan was also conflicted at this moment. After all, in the previous plan, if they wanted to cross the Sand River smoothly, they would have to rely on Xin Xia's mind magic.

If anything goes wrong with Xinxia, ​​then everyone will be in danger.

Actually, they didn't need to be so conflicted. The main issue was that Little Stone had recently improved and was currently sleeping in the dragon's nest.

Even Tai En and Tai Zhong, having been summoned by Su Chi multiple times and rendered some merit, received some rewards from the Dragon Mother and are now improving their strength.

Seeing Mo Fan's extremely conflicted expression, Xin Xia suddenly spoke up, "I can sense that the group of white sand demon soldiers are extremely angry right now, but as long as we change areas tomorrow, I'm confident that I can appease the white sand demon soldiers who aren't angry and prevent them from attacking us."

"I still feel a little uneasy about this." Young Master Zhao was clearly unwilling to entrust his safety to something uncertain.

After all, he hasn't enjoyed himself enough yet. What if something unexpected happens and he passes away at a young age? That would be a huge loss.

Lingling, who was holding onto Su Chi's clothes, first looked at Su Chi beside her. Seeing that he remained calm and composed, she spoke with an air of nonchalance:

"Those hunter mages got themselves killed by their own stupidity. Don't worry, according to the information I got before, as long as we don't use any destructive magic in the Sand River, and with Sister Xin Xia's mind magic, crossing the Sand River will be no different from crossing a dry riverbed."

After Lingling finished speaking, Su Chi then said, "Don't worry, if anything unexpected happens tomorrow, just run, and I'll cover your retreat."

Hearing this, Zhao Manyan nodded, feeling much more at ease.

However, Mo Fan patted his chest and said boldly, "Don't worry, Chi Zi, I definitely won't abandon you and run away alone."

Mo Fan originally wanted to walk over and put his arm around Su Chi's neck to say these words, but when he saw the two beautiful women, one tall and one short, clinging tightly to him, he stopped himself from taking the step.

In his view, although Su Chi was a high-level mage, his magical power was not inexhaustible.

The demons in the Sand River are endless. Even with his good brother's strength, he could clear out a large area with a single spell. However, if Su Chi runs out of magic power and is unfortunately surrounded by demons, his chances of survival are slim.

After all, in Mo Fan's understanding, Su Chi's strength was mainly concentrated in the summoning system. Now that his major commanders could not participate in the battle, his strength would definitely be greatly affected.
