Chapter 273: Journey to the Desert
After another round of passion, Mu Ningxue was completely revitalized by him. Mo Fan then said, "Rest for a few days. I plan to go to the Taklamakan Desert. Do you want to come along?"
"Okay," Mu Ningxue immediately nodded upon hearing this.
Breakthroughs could only be achieved in dangerous places. Mu Ningxue knew that Mo Fan's breakthroughs were inextricably linked to such perilous locations.
She naturally also wanted to become stronger.
Immediately, Mu Ningxue asked again, "Will Mu Ningxue be coming along?"
Although she wasn't the only one who had been 'ambushed' by him, she was unaware of that fact.
However, she naturally knew that the relationship between Mo Fan and Mu Ningxue was certainly ambiguous.
"She can't go right now; she's busy with the clan's construction. Shao Zheng gave me a very large piece of land, and it's precisely the time when various investments and constructions are needed," Mo Fan said.
Flying Bird City had not yet developed, and he already owned a City no smaller than the entire Flying Bird City. Once the base City developed, he would also directly benefit from its growth!
"Is there anything you need my help with?" Mu Ningxue asked.
"There is," Mo Fan gestured.
???
Mu Ningxue looked confused, but then, she seemed to understand.
It's just that...
How could this man be like this?
He's an iron-willed beast!
Although a hint of exasperation lingered in her heart, Mu Ningxue still lowered her head.
On the day they departed for the Taklamakan Desert, the autumn weather was unusually clear, and the warm sunlight felt particularly comfortable on their bodies.
Mo Fan and his group directly commandeered a vehicle from Wei Fang and headed west.
For such a minor matter, Mo Fan didn't even need to contact Shao Zheng; Zhu Meng arranged everything clearly for him. And shortly after they arrived, Jiang Shaoxu, that little flirt, rushed over.
She came directly to intercept them.
"Haha, I heard from Mu Ningxue that you guys are going to Taklamakan. Mo Fan, we really are fated! I actually plan to go there to find something too…" Jiang Shaoxu, always with a hint of teasing for men, said with a smile.
"If you let me measure your size on the way, I'll take you with me," Mo Fan retorted, showing no mercy to the 'Jiang Fox'.
"Pah, you pervert!" Jiang Shaoxu cursed.
But it was clear that Jiang Shaoxu didn't seem to mind at all.
Later, when they boarded the plane, the Guardian Mage of Wei Fang had a hint of doubt in his eyes.
Because Mo Fan brought Lingling, Mu Ningxue, and Jiang Shaoxu.
Lingling exuded a pure loli aura, so adorable it made one want to nosebleed, captivating both men and women. Everyone wanted to hug and dote on her, making her particularly eye-catching.
Mu Ningxue, naturally, needed no introduction. She was the campus belle of Pearl Academy, with an outstanding temperament, beautiful and elegant, a graceful and poised young lady who garnered countless Return Rate wherever she went, easily outshining any superficial charm!
Jiang Shaoxu was also naturally beautiful, with sparkling eyes and a charming face that could always accurately ensnare the souls of men with little self-control.
Mo Fan, walking with these three women, directly overshadowed all other men on the road. Even though his attire was very ordinary, it subtly highlighted his undeniable powerful masculine charm.
Therefore, this Guardian Mage felt that Mo Fan didn't look like he was going on an expedition at all; instead, he looked like he was showing off!
But this was an order from above, so he couldn't say anything.
They were not taking a civilian flight this time, but a special plane from Wei Fang.
Wei Fang usually had patrolling Mages on board. This flight path would pass through many uninhabited areas, which were territories of great demons and devils. Even high-altitude routes were not 100% safe.
The speed of this Wei Fang plane was undoubtedly fast!
However, it wouldn't do if it didn't fly fast. If they slowly flew over the territory of a certain monarch, they would probably be dragged down from ten thousand meters in the next second, so they had to fly fast.
In less than three hours, the plane landed at a base airport of the Tarim Wei Fang, closest to the Taklamakan Desert.
When they arrived, Zhang Xiaohou was already waiting there. As soon as he saw Mo Fan, he happily ran over.
With Zhang Xiaohou joining them, they planned to set off immediately.
However, Zhang Xiaohou said there was one more person who wanted to go with them.
Originally, Mo Fan didn't intend to bring anyone else, but since he truly didn't know the Taklamakan Desert, Mo Fan agreed.
Having this guy along wouldn't be bad for Mo Fan.
Only upon reaching the west could one truly appreciate the grandeur of nature. Most of Mo Fan's group were from the south, where the mountains were continuous and rolling, neither sharp nor towering. Despite having traveled all over the world, upon reaching the western part of their own country, they were still awestruck by the majestic and captivating scenery before them, and a sense of insignificance spontaneously arose.
The peak of human power should be the Forbidden Curse, and the strongest power Mo Fan currently knew was the power of the Ancient King. Perhaps only by using the Ancient King's power could Mo Fan feel less insignificant in this vast and boundless western basin?
But the so-called power to destroy mountains and earth, if it truly fell into such a huge basin, would only be an invisible, tiny scar, causing no pain or itch to nature.
The Taklamakan Desert is located in the central part of the Tarim Basin. Although the entire Desert is dwarfed by the Sahara of Africa, for humans, this yellow sand-buried area is a completely strange, unknown, and dangerous new world. Only the demon creatures living there can truly survive in the Desert for a long time.
When they came here, Lingling also did a detailed investigation.
The Taklamakan Desert contains a top-tier demon creature super-tribe, with a total of over a million demon creatures. In addition, there are seven medium-sized tribes and about thirty small tribes, whose numbers cannot be fully estimated. They are densely distributed throughout the entire Desert. Our main purpose in exploring the Taklamakan Desert this time is to open up a path to this Desert lake.
According to previous explorers, this Desert lake is a small oasis. The military had originally built a post station there, but later, with the large-scale desertification and the proliferation of demon creatures, the original route has been occupied by demon creatures, and not just one or two tribes.
And the place they were going to this time was a post station that had been buried for over ten years.
Lingling's physical strength was very weak, so Mo Fan had to carry her on his back the entire time. Fortunately, the little girl wasn't heavy; carrying her felt weightless.
Whenever she was in a special environment, Lingling's eyes would always sparkle with light. It was clear that there were many places she wanted to go, but the departure of a certain person had sealed off her curiosity and yearning for the world.
Obviously, this was what the little girl liked the most.
Mo Fan was naturally willing to take her, but the prerequisite was that he had the ability to protect her. If he didn't, then there was naturally no way.
