Chapter 250 Preparations Before Departure

"Damn it, fine if you want money, but Xin Xia is my sister, why would I ask her for money?" Mo Fan said, somewhat annoyed.

"Give it to me or not. If you don't give it to me, I won't go." Jiang Han said, turning to leave.

If Jiang Han doesn't go, Zhao Manyan definitely won't go either. In that case, their adventure team will automatically disband before they even set off. Then think about the benefits of contracting the Flame Princess.

"Here you go, but I don't have that much cash on hand. How about I pay you back?" Mo Fan said with a smile.

"You owe me so much money and you still want to keep owing me more," Jiang Han said.

"I just commissioned the master blacksmith Huo Tuo to forge the Xuan Snake Demon Armor for me, and now I really don't have much money left," Mo Fan said bitterly.

"Mo Fan, you're being a bit dishonest. We've made a fortune as bookmakers during these friendly matches, how can you say we're broke?" Zhao Man said with a smile, putting his hand on Mo Fan's shoulder.

Mo Fan's face darkened immediately upon hearing this. "Do you think I don't know whether I've made money or not? You, Zhao Manyan, just tell me directly."

"Mo Fan, how about this? I see you don't want to pay back the money, so why don't you work for me to pay it off?" Jiang Han said with a smile.

"Working to pay off debts seems a bit unreliable to me," Mo Fan said suspiciously, nudging Zhao Manyan aside with his elbow.

"We've been brothers since childhood, why would I cheat you? It's not like I'm making you work to pay off your debts. I just mean if you ever run into any trouble, you can come with me on missions," Jiang Han said with a smile.

Mo Fan was still a little skeptical of Jiang Han's words, feeling that there was a trap involved. However, when it came to repaying the debt, he owed quite a lot and couldn't afford to pay it back right now. After much hesitation, he finally agreed. In fact, Mo Fan's feeling was not wrong. Jiang Han's suggestion of working to pay off the debt was indeed a trap, and a huge one at that, from which there was no way to climb out. However, Mo Fan only discovered this later.

After leaving the school, Jiang Han, Mo Fan, and Zhao Manyan went straight to the Qingtian Hunting Grounds. As soon as they entered, Jiang Han saw Lingling sitting on a chair, swinging her short legs and leisurely looking at a picture book. Although Zhao Manyan had seen Lingling before when they fought Nie Dong, he was still a little amazed by this pretty little girl when he saw her again.

"Lingling, have you finished investigating the information about Zhuoyuan North Corner?" Mo Fan asked with a smile.

Upon hearing Mo Fan's voice, Lingling immediately put the picture book she was holding on the table and said impatiently, "You think I'll investigate just because you tell me to? Who do you think you are?"

"No, hey, Jiang Han, when did you get here?" Lingling asked with a smile after noticing Jiang Han behind Mo Fan.

"Lingling, we're partners, don't you have to treat us differently?" Mo Fan said resentfully.

"If you had Jiang Han's strength, I wouldn't treat you differently," Lingling said.

"Forehead····"

After playing around, Lingling took out the map she had drawn in advance and spread it out on the table. This map was drawn by Lingling based on various information she had obtained from the Hunter Alliance. This kind of map was drawn strictly according to the standard of hunter maps, and it clearly marked the distribution density of demons and various suitable escape routes.

This kind of map is the most important for a hunter mage team. Without it, accidentally wandering into a place with a high density of demons would be a near-death experience.

Lingling had been busy for several days to prepare this map. This was her first time going to the high-altitude desert. In fact, when Lingling's team was still in the desert, she had heard a lot about the adventures in Dunhuang from her father. Therefore, she had a special longing for the vast and desolate land of Dunhuang where the sky and earth were one color and the yellow sand was everywhere since she was a child.

Lingling pointed to the unfolded map and said seriously, "I've investigated. If we want to reach the northern corner of Zhuoyuan, we must cross a place called Shawang River. This Shawang River is like a long, ribbon-like forbidden zone. If we don't cross it, we will definitely have to deal with the Sand Tiger Demon Clan, the overlord-level demon clan that lives in Dunhuang."

"Isn't there any other way to cross this Sand River? Since someone reached the northern corner of the Scorching Plains and met Yan Ji, it means there is a way to cross," Mo Fan asked.

"No, a group of white sand demon soldiers live in the Sand River. These are earth-attribute elemental demons. They have been living in the Sand River for hundreds of years. The individual strength of these white sand demon soldiers may not be as terrifying as that of the Sand Tiger Demon Clan."

"But they roam in large groups, densely covering the entire Sand River area, so one of the biggest obstacles for hunter mages reaching the northern corner of the Scorching Plains is these white sand demon soldiers that inhabit the Sand River." With a flick of her little hand, Lingling displayed a monster encyclopedia resembling sand demon soldiers on the laptop on the table.

"Shall we just call them directly?" Mo Fan tentatively suggested.

"Heh, with your meager strength, you think you can just fight your way through?" Lingling glanced at Mo Fan and continued, "Don't even mention all of us combined, even a whole team of Guardian Mages wouldn't dare say they could get through. As for those Hunter Mage teams that arrived at the northern corner of Zhuoyuan, they were all elite Hunter Mages, and they also used some unrevealed skills to cross the Shawang River."

"I assume there are at least twenty ways to cross the Sand River, but none of them are feasible. Even having the undead giant lizard pseudo-dragon carry us across would be difficult, mainly because no one has ever counted how many commander-level creatures there are in the Sand River."

"The only feasible solution is to find a mind-based mage, like Sister Xinxia." Lingling smiled and looked at Jiang Han at the end. As for why she didn't ask Mo Fan, it was because Lingling knew that Mo Fan couldn't make the decision on this matter.

"I'll call Xinxia later to ask for her opinion," Jiang Han said.

"Actually, I asked Sister Xinxia before you came, and she said she was very willing to go," Lingling said with a smile.

"Alright then, we'll prepare all the necessary equipment over the next two days. Once Xinxia and Zhang Xiaohou arrive, we'll head to the North Corner of Zhuoyuan," Jiang Han said after a moment's thought.

After leaving the Qingtian Hunting Grounds, Jiang Han had been busy with competitions and visiting forces outside the borders, and hadn't called Xin Xia at all. He really missed her, so he dialed her number. The phone was answered after only a few rings.

"Brother Jiang Han, what brings you to call me?" Xin Xia's gentle voice came through the phone as soon as the call connected.

"It was my fault for not calling you during this time, and I apologize to my precious Xinxia here," Jiang Han said with a smile.

"Oh, no need. Brother Jiang Han, you must be busy with something if you don't call me," Xin Xia quickly said.

Next, Jiang Han asked Xin Xia about her life at school. Seeing that Jiang Han hadn't asked her about Zhuoyuan North Corner at all, Xin Xia brought it up herself. In the past, she had always been protected by Jiang Han and Mo Fan. This time, she didn't want to miss the opportunity to help Jiang Han and the others, so when Lingling brought it up, she immediately agreed.

Jiang Han naturally wouldn't stop Xin Xia from doing what she had decided. In the following days, under the supervision of Ai Tutu and Mu Nujiao, Jiang Han bought a lot of food, including self-heating food and all sorts of other miscellaneous foods.

A few days later, the team that went on adventure to the North Corner of Zhuoyuan gathered in front of the Qingtian Hunting Grounds. The main attackers were Jiang Han and Mo Fan, the strategist was Lingling, the scouts were Zhang Xiaohou, the powerful support mage was Xin Xia, and the defensive mages were Zhao Manyan and a girl named Chen Ying.

He Yu was originally supposed to come with Zhang Xiaohou, but she couldn't get leave and therefore couldn't come. As for the girl named Chen Ying, she was found by Zhao Manyan. She majored in earth magic and, like Zhao Manyan, came from the Zhao family.
