Zhuoyuan North Corner is a very famous fire-producing area in the Great Xia Dynasty, located in the northwestern desert region.
Legend has it that there exists a demon called the Elemental Demon, a life form born from the condensation of heaven and earth's flames.
Flame Princess is the rarest and most unique among elemental fairies.
It is rumored that once Yan Ji grows up, the assistance she can provide to mages will be equivalent to a combination of a contracted beast and a celestial being.
However, it has been a long time since anyone has seen Yan Ji in the real world, and no one has used Yan Ji's power to fight.
Looking at Lingling, who was tugging at her clothes and rarely acting coquettishly, Su Lan ruffled her hair vigorously, causing Lingling to glare at Su Lan with wide eyes.
"I think your real purpose in going to find Yan Ji is not so much to start your summer vacation trip."
Lingling, who had been stunned by Su Lan's messed-up hair, suddenly raised her head with a haughty expression.
"That's right, summer vacation is finally here, and I don't want to stay at home, I want to go out and play!"
As Lingling spoke, she gestured with her eyes to Apas, who was sitting next to her.
Apas rolled her eyes at Lingling, and could only chime in as planned.
"Since I'm just idling around anyway, I might as well go. I've been wanting to explore the beautiful landscapes of the Great Xia Dynasty."
"Alright, Lingling, you guys plan the route. I'll ask your older sisters for their opinions."
It's already July, and Lingling's summer vacation has only been going on for a few days.
Lingling, who always thinks about escaping school to do missions during the school year, is even less likely to stay idle at the Qingtian Hunting Grounds during the summer vacation.
Having never experienced her father's unexpected passing, Lingling displays the liveliness and cuteness of a 13-year-old girl in everyday interactions.
When faced with challenges, they can also demonstrate their maturity.
Su Lan is satisfied with Lingling's current condition.
Moreover, Su Lan had promised to take Lingling and the others on a trip during the summer vacation.
Even if they go to dangerous places like the North Corner of Zhuoyuan, for Su Lan's current strength, it's just a matter of finding a less crowded tourist spot.
After receiving Su Lan's permission, Lingling immediately pulled Apas along to plan a route and gather more information.
As for logistics, the two little ones don't need to worry about it.
When Su Lan mentioned going to the North Corner of Zhuoyuan, the alien girl who was secretly protecting her began to prepare for the trip.
The alien girls can arrange all the logistical support and personnel transportation perfectly.
The rest is just asking how many people want to go.
Since junior high schools have summer vacation, Mingzhu Academy will naturally also have summer vacation.
However, Pearl Academy is a magic high school, and everyone is pursuing progress in magic and preparing for the upcoming national team selection.
So even though summer vacation has begun, Mingzhu Academy is still filled with a vibrant atmosphere of spiritual practice.
Even students who have left school mostly find better training methods to prepare themselves for improvement.
Mu Nujiao, Ye Xinxia, Ai Tutu, Bai Tingting, and Ding Yumin gathered at Su Lan's villa at noon.
When Su Lan mentioned Lingling's long-awaited trip to the North Cape of Zhuoyuan, everyone was very interested.
"I want to go! I want to go! When I was little, I lingered at the Shawang River on the northern edge of Zhuoyuan, but I was too young to go in."
"This time I'm determined to go in and take a look!"
Ai Tutu excitedly raised her little hand, as if afraid Su Lan wouldn't see it.
"Yes, I'll go too, Brother Su Lan."
"Brother Su, count me in."
"Add one!" *2
The final conclusion was that everyone joined the "tour group".
After deciding to go on the trip, the five girls excitedly held hands and went out to buy things.
Although the alien girl can handle the logistics, she still has to buy her own personal items.
After Ye Xinxia and the others went out, Su Lan contacted Tang Yue to see if Tang Yue was available.
Tang Yue said that she had just been promoted to deputy chief judge of Lingyin Temple and was too busy with cases to handle. She could only take advantage of Su Lan's absence to squeeze her dry.
Coincidentally, Leng Qing was also present when Su Lan and Tang Yue were discussing this matter.
Unfortunately, since both of them were deputy presiding judges, there were not enough people to fill the vacant positions after the recent purge of the Lingyin Temple Tribunal.
Leng Qing is just as busy as Tang Yue right now.
Otherwise, Leng Qing would have joined this team too.
After making a few phone calls, Su Lan remembered Nan Rong Ni, the young genius from the Nan Rong family.
Nan Rongni transferred her student status to Mingzhu Academy before the summer vacation began.
Nan Rongni originally intended to follow Su Lan, but Su Lan refused.
Nan Rongni's strength is still too weak right now, so let her prepare for the selection of the National Team first.
As the only healer in the original team, she had to ensure that her healing magic could heal most of the team members' injuries.
In fact, Su Lan even replenished Nan Rongni's life energy to help her accelerate her progress.
...
Time quickly passed to the next morning.
A spontaneous trip to the North Cape of Zhuoyuan begins amidst the laughter of beautiful women.
Su Lan and her group arrived at Shanghai Airport by car and boarded a private plane to Dunhuang Airport.
By the time Su Lan and her group landed, it was nearly noon.
Stepping out of the airport, the local climate struck Su Lan and her companions as dry and scorching!
Having grown accustomed to the humid and warm waters of Jiangnan, the sudden arrival in the arid northwest region, with its endless yellow sand, caused some discomfort for everyone except Su Lan and Serafina.
However, Serafina quickly activated a temperature and humidity-controlled barrier, enveloping them all.
Instantly, the feeling of being in Shanghai returned, and all the women cheered.
"Let's go to the hotel for a meal first, and then we'll set off."
No one had any objections to Su Lan's arrangements.
After getting into the van that the alien girl had driven ahead of them, and having a meal to digest, they couldn't wait to head to the edge of the desert.
As far as the eye can see, there is a vast expanse of yellow sand, level with the distant horizon; looking back, all that remains is a desolate wasteland.
The sun was exceptionally hot under the cloudless sky, but fortunately, Seraphinia provided a protective barrier, so there was no need to worry about sun protection.
Upon entering the desert, Su Lan and her companions no longer traveled by car, but instead rode locally trained camels.
Only camels can move freely in the desert.
Enjoying the beautiful scenery along the way, the group soon arrived at the northern corner of Zhuoyuan.
After crossing the boundary line, Su Lan sensed that the number of demons was increasing exponentially.
The further you go into the boundary line, the more dangerous it becomes.
At this point, Aitutu and the others, who were getting a little tired of riding the camels, put down the camels, whose legs were getting weak, and started walking instead.
"Don't be fooled by the calm of this desolate region. You never know what kind of dangers are hidden beneath this Gobi Desert and sand dunes."
To ensure they maintained a sufficient awareness of the potential danger, Su Lan reminded them as she walked.
Mu Nujiao and the others did not take Su Lan's words to heart.
In fact, when they stepped into this area, their mage instincts told them that danger was imminent.
