On the Way to Dunhuang

A moment later, Tang Miao arrived at the Qingtian Hunter Agency.

The natural reason for coming here is to inquire if there are any bounties available.

Ling Ling shook her head, looking rather bored, and said, "No, there are bounties for Super Level Mage though..."

As she spoke, Ling Ling glanced at Tang Miao with disdain and said, "You're still too weak. If you were Super Level Mage, we wouldn't have to worry about not having a bounty!"

Upon hearing this, Tang Miao reached out and pinched Ling Ling's little cheek, saying with displeasure, "How dare you say such a thing!"

Ling Ling slapped Tang Miao's hand away, pouting slightly in dissatisfaction, and said, "Stop touching me! You filthy hooligan, creepy uncle, lolicon!"

"I..."

When confronted with this sharp-tongued young woman, Tang Miao was completely taken aback. He even found himself utterly defenseless against her.

"Forget it, forget it, brother is magnanimous and won't hold it against you!" Tang Miao waved his hand generously and said.

"By the way, I'll be going out of town for a few days, but I'll be back soon. If there's a bounty, take it and do it when I get back."

Upon hearing this, Ling Ling's big eyes lit up. Dunhuang was a very famous ancient Demon and Monster Land in China, inhabited by creatures of the purest bloodline and the oldest history. The brilliance of China's magical civilization was also recorded in those sand dunes and ruined cities. Hunter Mage would always go there to search for ancient civilizations, and if they were lucky, they could even unearth a large number of remnants of treasures and magical tools...

She was extremely interested in that place.

Although she knew it was dangerous there, she was actually quite interested in having that freak Tang Miao go!

Ling Ling came to Tang Miao 'Tang Miao side and immediately hugged his arm, saying, "I want to go too! I want to go too!"

"No, it's too dangerous, you can't go. What if something happens!" Upon hearing that this little girl with a combat power of level five wanted to go, Tang Miao refused without even thinking.

Although this girl is very clever, she's still just a little girl with a combat power of -5. She doesn't even have the ability to defend against a siege of Demon Beast, so how could Tang Miao possibly take her along!

Moreover, the Scorching Plains we are going to this time is located east of Dunhuang, a Gobi desert with yellow dust everywhere. The scorching heat and blazing winds there are well known to many Hunter Mage abroad.

Tang Miao was still reluctant to let the little girl experience this kind of hardship.

A hint of disappointment flickered in her Ling Ling, lively eyes. However, giving up was clearly not her forte!

Having known Tang Miao for so long, she still understands him very well.

Ling Ling turned around and came to Tang Miao, grabbing his big hand with Tang Miao little one and pleading, "Please take me with you, Brother Miao!"

"Hiss~"

Tang Miao has always been powerless against this kind of behavior... This was something the little girl discovered by chance, but who would have thought that whenever they disagreed, she would resort to acting cute...

But no matter how she thought about it, Tang Miao still felt that she couldn't let Ling Ling go to such a torturous place.

But before he could shake his head, Ling Ling added, "If I come with you, you'll save yourself a lot of trouble. Think it through! Besides, it's not like I haven't taken risks before; I have the ability to protect myself."

Well, after hearing what Ling Ling said, Tang Miao was quite tempted.

After all, he's never enjoyed doing things that require a lot of brainpower.

"Then you'll have to listen to me and not run around..."

Before Tang Miao could finish rambling, Ling Ling waved her hand and interrupted, "Alright, alright, I'm not a child anymore. Do you need to tell me all this?"

Tang Miao was very unhappy, but... it seemed that he really needed Ling Ling's guidance on many things. He wasn't qualified to teach others how to do things.

Over the next few days, Ling Ling immediately began preparations. It seemed to be her first time visiting the high-altitude desert, and she had a special longing for the vast world where the sky and earth blended into one and the yellow sand filled the sky.

With Ling Ling handling everything, Tang Miao's life returned to normal. He continued to tease Mu Nujiao and play with Ai Tutu every day...

The following evening, Ling Ling messaged Tang Miao saying that it would be best to have a Mind Mage, otherwise the journey to the Northern Corner of the Scorching Plains would be difficult...

After learning about this, Tang Miao told Mo Fan that it was hard for others to find a mage with the Mind Element, but this kid could definitely find one.

Mo Fan didn't want his beloved sister to take such a risk, but he also really needed a Contract Pet...

On the third day, when it was time to set off, Ye Xin Xia still came. Tang Miao didn't bother to find out what was going on.

This time, Tang Miao and Ling Ling, along with Zhao Manyan and his cousin, Ye Xin Xia and Mo Fan, were heading to the extremely dangerous Dunhuang.

Of course, there's also Zhang Xiaohou, who became a soldier!

That's right, Zhang Xiaohou eventually became a soldier, although He Yu didn't die. However, the Bo City incident dealt him a significant blow, and both he and He Yu chose to become Military Mage.

However, he was the only one who came here; He Yu was on a mission and didn't have time to come and help.

The group of seven, having prepared their equipment according to Ling Ling's request, were a group of young people full of enthusiasm, ready to go to Dunhuang at a moment's notice.

Zhao Manyan actually didn't quite trust Ling Ling's requests. After all, what could such a small child possibly know?

However, after hearing Tang Miao's account of everything, he decisively chose to believe her. After all, he didn't think Tang Miao would brag about a little girl for no reason.

Upon arriving in Dunhuang, one can immediately feel the unique charm of this yellow earth that can broaden one's horizons. Looking out, the vast yellow sand stretches to the distant horizon. Among the yellow sand, the mounds, slightly brownish, rise and fall in layers.

Upon arrival, they also purchased locally trained Wind Camel. Although everyone except Ling Ling was a mage, not everyone could react immediately to danger. With the camels, they gradually approached the renowned Scorching Plains!

The desert and Gobi are home to a multitude of creatures. The abundance of Earth Element and fire elements has led to the presence of numerous Elemental Demons. In addition, the Sand Tiger Demon Race, a local tyrant, is scattered throughout the area. Ordinary Hunter Mage teams must be on their guard once they cross the boundary marker!

However, after traveling for a whole day, they did not encounter any danger or trouble, and their journey was relatively smooth.

Although Tang Miao possessed strong mental power, he dared not let his guard down. After all, the Little Black he encountered in Dongting Lake was still fresh in his memory!

There are so many kinds of Demon Beast in this world, who knows if there might be similar Demon Beast in this desert land as well.

The journey went smoothly, and as the day drew to a close, they arrived at the area where the Sand Forget River was located.

The Sand Forget River is a plateau stream that has been dry for countless years. After years of erosion by strong winds, the entire river channel has become incredibly wide. Even on a map, the Sand Forget River looks like a long, earth-colored dragon lying on the land of Dunhuang. Its length almost spans half of Gansu, and its narrowest point is probably more than ten kilometers long!
