Chapter 118. The Star River Vein Given to Mu Nujiao
Mu Nujiao stared blankly at the Star River Vein that Mo Fan handed her, her eyes filled with disbelief.
The shimmering, crystalline light seemed to possess a magical power, leaving her momentarily dazed.
She could hardly believe it was real; the shock she felt was like a surging wave crashing against her heart.
"This...you..." Mu Nujiao stared at the dazzling light, her words becoming hesitant and stammering.
This feeling is indeed like a man placing a huge diamond ring in front of you, especially when you need help the most.
Mu Nujiao knew she was timid. She longed for her family's help, but she was also afraid that if she didn't receive the unexpected reward, she would become a puppet whose life was controlled by her family.
She lacked the courage to gamble, yet, without the courage to gamble, she was unable to take that crucial step on her own.
Without advanced magical artifacts or tools, and not being a high-level mage, the path to the National Palace seemed a distant dream for her.
At this moment, Mo Fan took out a piece of the Star River Vein, which undoubtedly gave her a huge surprise and moved her deeply.
"Mo Fan..." she whispered his name, her voice filled with indescribable emotions.
"Take it. You're my woman, how can I watch you suffer? Besides, I'm already the designated captain of the National Team." Mo Fan's words were firm and powerful.
For a romantic relationship to last, material support is indeed necessary.
A womanizer like Mo Fan needs to play a certain role at times like this.
Otherwise, it might not matter in the initial sweetness, but later on, all sorts of problems will follow.
Even in the magical world, this principle still applies.
Although he doesn't possess endless wealth, his greed is what it is; if he wants a lot of affection, he has to put in the corresponding effort to maintain it.
Mu Nujiao wanted it, of course she really wanted it.
But when she heard that Mo Fan was already the designated captain, she refused, saying, "I know you mean well, but the competition at the National Academy is not just the beginning. There is still a long road ahead."
Those who are able to enter the world's top universities undoubtedly have a strong background.
For someone like Mo Fan, an ordinary person, being able to get in now, whether he can make it to the end is still unknown.
She didn't want Mo Fan to take such a risk.
"Although I'm a bit poor after buying the Star River Vein, I can still earn more. Take it. I'll feel very uncomfortable on my journey through the academy without you by my side. So, dealing with your current difficulties is the most important thing," Mo Fan said.
Mu Nujiao was deeply moved after hearing this.
In the end, she didn't hesitate and accepted this precious Star River Vein. She had long since reached the mid-stage perfection, but the dividing line of the high-stage was extremely high.
Therefore, she was not in a hurry to break through; before she could, she needed to prepare some other resources.
Of course, with the Star River Vein as the primary focus, everything else is a minor issue.
Seeing that she accepted it, he started making phone calls to contact some acquaintances, seemingly intending to prepare more thoroughly.
Mo Fan simply lifted her onto his lap.
"Um"
Mu Nujiao, who was on the phone, let out a soft moan.
Mo Fan could even hear a woman's voice on the other end of the phone scolding, "I'll take care of it for you, why do you have a fever?"
Mu Nujiao blushed furiously!
She didn't!
She was just ambushed!
Clearly, the other party had no intention of giving her a chance to explain, so Mu Nujiao could only turn around and glare at Mo Fan.
It seemed to be a warning to him to behave, but before the shame and anger had subsided, Mu Nujiao suddenly saw that her restraints were about to break.
"Hey~ stop messing around, I'm making a phone call."
"No rush, haste makes waste. You should learn from me." Mo Fan said this, but his hands moved quickly.
Mu Nujiao knew that if she didn't subdue him, she might not have a chance to find the materials.
If Ai Tutu hadn't been there, she would have discovered that the usually dignified Sister Mu also had a fiery side.
Time always slips away unnoticed.
A month passed quickly.
Mu Nujiao has successfully broken through to the advanced level and has now received a nomination vote from Mingzhu Academy.
Although she has not yet mastered high-level magic, once she reaches the high level, compared to a mid-level mage, it will be a tremendous transformation.
In terms of control, this is something that many mid-level mages cannot match.
Even though some mid-level mages possessed decent magical artifacts, they were all ultimately defeated under Mu Nujiao's control of wind power.
While Mu Nujiao was making great strides, Mo Fanren was in the Dongting Lake area.
Because they haven't created a natural enemy for the giant lizards here, these giant lizards seem to be growing stronger and stronger.
That's why he came to Dongting Lake again.
The purpose, of course, is to cultivate a natural enemy for the lizard-headed giants here to limit them.
In a large mudflat in Dongting Lake.
Mo Fan then unleashed a series of 'Fire Seals' followed by a series of 'Thunder Seals'.
"boom!"
"boom!"
"Gurgle."
"Gulp!!!"
The skill's explosive power wasn't particularly strong, but as soon as he unleashed two skills, the mud and water in front of him instantly churned up, with layers of mud waves surging up to forty or fifty meters high, looking quite spectacular!
The mud churned, like boiling black water, with silt splashing outwards and then cascading down like a torrential downpour onto the flat ground where Mo Fan stood.
In the churning muddy water, a long torso suddenly appeared, giving the impression of a giant water python suddenly flipping from the bottom of the water into the air. However, on both sides of this long body were pairs of giant feet!
One of the giant feet suddenly stepped onto the flat ground, where there was a dead tree that was over 30 meters tall. The height of the giant foot was exactly the same as the crown of the dead tree!
"Ughhhh!!!"
In the mud, a hideous, soft, horny head with giant pincers suddenly appeared. It opened its blood-red maw and let out an extremely angry scream at the tiny body on the ground.
This is a swamp centipede of the commander level.
This wasn't the first time Mo Fan had come to cause trouble for it, but each time it would just get beaten up and run away.
However, to the swamp centipede's utter fury, this time, Mo Fan had actually come to their doorstep!
Screams accompanied a black wind surging from the abyss, and a muddy whirlwind crashed towards Mo Fan.
"You stupid bug, come and bite me if you dare," Mo Fan said provocatively.
"Gah!!!"
The swamp centipede roared and immediately charged at Mo Fan, its fierce appearance suggesting a determination to fight to the death.
Mo Fan, however, turned and ran away as usual.
He could kill it, of course, without a problem. But he didn't, because upon stepping back into Dongting Lake, he witnessed the terrifying reproductive power of the Lizard-Skull Giant!
This place is practically teeming with lizard-headed giants!
If they are allowed to continue like this, sooner or later the surrounding cities will still suffer from the impact of the lizard-headed monster tide.
So, while he was killing these lizard-headed giants, he also cultivated a natural enemy for them. It took Mo Fan half a month to find this swamp centipede.
Now, all he needs to do is charge at the giant lizard with the swamp centipede.
