Ge Ming asked over the phone, he was really curious and a little embarrassed to ask.
“Oh, none of the three of us have any soldiers under our command,” Xu Fang said.
To date, the entire Jinlin Wasteland City has only four military mages: Xu Fang, Zhan Kong, Zhang Xiaohou, and He Yu.
Three of them are leaders, and the other one is also able to control the army so tightly that they dare not go east or west, and dare not scold the chickens even if they beat the dogs.
"Oh, I understand. I won't ask anymore." Ge Ming had clearly misunderstood something and gave an awkward smile.
Tsk.
Xu Fang shrugged helplessly. These days, nobody believes you if you tell the truth.
······
Without hesitation, Xu Fang handed over the remaining work to Liu Ru and instructed her to keep an eye on some things for him before embarking on his journey to the Taklamakan Desert.
It's autumn now, the weather is clear, and the warm sunshine feels wonderful on my skin.
Airport waiting area.
The dozen or so members of the Gold War Hunters were restless, glancing up at the hanging timetable every now and then.
They knew very well that this was a road that could be described as a death trap, and that some of them would inevitably perish forever in that terrible desert.
"Their flight has arrived."
Ge Ming said, a smile appearing on his face. Just as he was about to step forward to greet them, he saw a beautiful young woman rushing past them at a speed even faster than theirs.
"haven't seen you for a long time!"
Jiang Shaoxu's voluptuous impact knocked Xu Fang back a few steps. She wrapped her arms around his waist, looked up at him with a grin, and asked, "Did you miss me?"
"I've lost weight because I can't eat. You can feel it if you don't believe me."
"Just touch it!"
Like a female hooligan, Jiang Shaoxu tried to touch Xu Fang's abs in public.
If Zhang Xiaohou and Zhan Kong hadn't come out so quickly, she would have definitely taken advantage of them today!
not far away.
The hunters of the Gold War Hunters Group immediately lost their good mood.
What is this?
What is this?!
Apart from that bearded uncle Zhan Kong who was barely presentable, what were the other three?
One with blond hair, one with pretty face, and the other with a dry face – are they definitely not in high school?
The fact that such a person is joining their ranks is an insult to them; all their previous unease, tension, and readiness have been rendered meaningless!
"Commander, you haven't been tricked by them, have you?"
Zheng Tong said, "This looks like a university professor leading students on a training mission. Wouldn't letting them join the team be a hindrance?"
"Don't talk nonsense. Don't you recognize these people? Xu Fang, the number one in the World University Competition!" Ge Ming scolded in a low voice, then put on a smile again and went to greet them.
"Tch, a competition between the world's top universities? It's just child's play."
Although Zheng Tong had never participated, it did not stop him from looking down on this kind of competition among students, believing it to be nothing more than hothouse flowers vying for attention.
He's eyeing the Hunter Tournament; that's where real competition begins!
"Zheng Tong, don't forget, he's still a member of the Military Intelligence Bureau," his teammate reminded him.
"Ha, an honorary military intelligence agency, huh? They don't even have a single soldier under their command," Zheng Tong said disdainfully.
Chapter 367 As expected of the Military Intelligence Bureau, they are truly remarkable!
In a sense, Zheng Tong was not wrong.
Xu Fang's military intelligence rank was truly an honorary title; he could mobilize troops but had no personal guards of his own.
But this Military Intelligence Bureau rank was not awarded as a reward for the competition among world universities. Instead, it was forced upon him by the Central Military Commission after the catastrophe in the ancient capital!
Needless to say, Jiang Shaoxu was treated with the utmost respect by those in the military, who held higher ranks and more power.
Once everyone had arrived, they boarded another plane and flew to their destination.
This time it wasn't a civilian flight, but a military aircraft.
Military aircraft are usually accompanied by patrol mages. This flight route will pass through many uninhabited areas, which are the territories of powerful demons and monsters. Even high-altitude routes are not necessarily 100% safe.
And that's precisely why the flight speed this time was incredibly fast...
You can't not fly fast either. If you slowly fly over a monarch's territory, you'll probably be pulled down from ten thousand meters in the next second!
Three hours later, the military aircraft arrived at the military base airport in the Tarim Basin.
After completing the handover with the other side, the regimental commander, Ge Ming, led his team into the vast yellow sand.
If you want to experience the grandeur and magnificence of a country, come to the west.
Having grown accustomed to the rolling, soft hills of the south, arriving in the west brings a breathtaking display of nature's fierce power, making one feel insignificant.
"There exists a top-tier demon tribe in the Taklamakan Desert, with a total number of demons exceeding one million."
In addition, there are seven medium-sized tribes and about thirty smaller tribes, the exact number of which cannot be fully estimated; they are densely distributed throughout the desert.
Regiment Commander Ge Ming reiterated the dangers and mission requirements:
"Our main purpose in exploring the Taklamakan Desert this time is to open up a road that can lead to this desert lake."
According to previous explorations, this desert lake was a small oasis, where the military once built a post station.
Later, due to desertification and massive migrations, demons proliferated, and the original routes were occupied by them, not just one or two tribes!
A top-tier tribe with millions of members!
Everyone couldn't help but shudder. They didn't even want to think about the terrible consequences if they accidentally got trapped here!
"The original route has been buried. Which route should we follow?" Xu Fang asked.
Zheng Tong sneered, "Why worry about so much? As long as you stick close to us, you might be able to save your life!"
"Say less!" Ge Ming snapped.
Lu Fang, the route analyst in the team, said, "Based on the information from predecessors and the oral accounts of old hunters, I accurately simulated a path forward."
“We can make adjustments at any time during the journey,” Xu Fang said.
Zheng Tong jumped in again: "Do you need to be here pointing fingers..."
Xu Fang: "I am a sound-based mage."
"Zheng Tong, shut up!"
Lu Fang immediately shut Zheng Tong down, ignoring his constipated and frustrated expression, and looked at Xu Fang with shining eyes:
"A sonic mage?"
"Correct."
"Detection?"
"no problem."
"interference?"
"No problem."
"What about the range?"
"Within sight of the eye".
"Hahahaha good!"
Lu Fang was all smiles; no hunter team could refuse a high-quality sonic mage.
"It seems I need to revise our battle strategy. With you joining us, our team's chances of survival have greatly increased!"
Beside him, Jiang Shaoxu said with a smile, "I am a high-level Mind Mage."
"Hahaha, good! Good! Excellent!"
Lu Fang and Ge Ming's mouths were practically stretched to their ears as they looked at Zhan Kong and Zhang Xiaohou with expectant eyes, hoping they would say something.
Healing? Blessing? We're not picky!
Zhan Kong: "..."
Zhang Xiaohou: "..."
We really don't have that!
······
The team's first stop was Mount Huangshan. Xu Fang used a sound track to probe the terrain of the vast desert and the monsters within it.
With the help of the demonic instruments from the Gold War Hunters, they headed towards the entrance of the desert.
"The situation is worse than we thought." The further they walked, the worse Lu Fang's expression became.
Based on the intelligence he gathered, there must be some landmarks here, such as bus stops or protective forests.
But now, everything is buried under yellow sand, and it's impossible to tell where the entrance is!
“If there are forest rangers, the thickness of the sand dunes should be different, which can be used to determine the location of the protective forest,” Zhan Kong said.
Xu Fang, standing nearby, casually played a music track into the sand dune, sensing the thickness of the surrounding sand piles.
"This direction!" Xu Fang pointed in a direction and said with certainty.
Lu Fang and Ge Ming exchanged a glance. The latter used the mid-level magic Wind Disc, and the blue tornado instantly swept away the sand and dust in that small area.
One by one, the withered yellow protective forests buried by yellow sand appeared before everyone's eyes.
Lu Fang's face lit up with joy: "To deduce the buried forest based solely on the thickness of the sand layer and the monsoon winds is truly remarkable!"
As expected of the Military Intelligence Bureau, they really know their stuff!
With these people around, the road ahead will surely be much smoother, saving us a lot of trouble!
