This girl's face was cold and astonishing, with a slightly girlish look on her face. Her curvy figure was fully highlighted by the white dress with a waistband.
But the most stunning thing is not the beautiful face and proud figure, but the attractive long snow-silver hair parted in the middle.
This characteristic is undoubtedly Mu Ningxue's. The middle-aged man next to him should be Mu Zhuoyun.
Nan Yi didn't look much, but secretly sighed that the world was so small that even Mu Ningxue could meet him.
However, Mu Ningxue was indeed as she had imagined when she read the novel, as cold, proud and beautiful as a Tianshan snow lotus.
After a while, the others also noticed the astonished Mu Ningxue, and they all started talking about it.
After all, this kind of woman is the center of attention wherever she is.
Soon, the waiter served the dish, which was the nationally famous Imperial Roast Duck. The taste was indeed worthy of the name of the century-old restaurant.
Mu Ningxue and Mu Zhuoyun sat down at a table for two in a corner.
After lunch, everyone did not choose to rest, but set off directly to the suburbs southwest of the imperial capital.
The not-so-distant journey took just over an hour, but the prosperous scenery around us became sparse visible to the naked eye.
"arrive."
Happy Dragon Boat Festival! What can I say about this wave of additions! Think of it as an extra update for our distinguished helmsman, the wise lava beast!

Chapter 163 Let’s go! Undefined River!
Ye Rou rented a minibus, which seemed spacious for a group of six people.
The bus stopped under a road sign. It was already a deserted highway, with endless undeveloped wasteland on both sides. The edge of the town could be faintly seen at the end of the field of vision behind it.
"You can only walk the rest of the way by yourself. Follow this road and follow the street signs to get to Beitaihang Station." The bus driver put out his cigarette butt and said to everyone.
For ordinary people, this is the ultimate distance that can be reached.
Going forward, there are only mages and some ordinary people who specialize in the inn business.
"Everyone, get out of the car." Ye Rou, who was on the passenger seat, turned around and said.
Immediately, everyone got off the bus and began to follow the directions of the road signs to continue the journey.
The weather in the Imperial Capital was relatively gloomy today, but there was no drop of rain from the dark clouds in the sky, and the cool breeze kept brushing against everyone's faces.
However, although this section of road is not close, it is relatively safe, so everyone can speed up as much as possible.
After about an hour of driving, the monotonous cement road was no longer in the field of vision, but bustling buildings appeared.
Most of the buildings in the distance are simple and spacious. There are teams of hunters preparing to set off on the road, as well as those who have just returned. The taverns and restaurants are full of people of all kinds chatting and asking for news.
Demons, alcohol, money and noise are the common denominators of every inn.
"Is this the Beitaihang Station? It's so big!" Chen Changben sighed as he slowed down.
"Beitaihang Station not only serves ordinary hunter groups, but also directly cooperates with the Northern Military Department in many aspects." Ye Shan added.
The Northern Military Headquarters itself needs to be responsible for guarding the Beitaihang area, but relying solely on the military headquarters' own supplies is naturally not safe enough.
When there is a shortage of materials or manpower, certain emergency rescue can be carried out through the post station.
Therefore, choosing to cooperate with nearby stations is an extremely common phenomenon, which is normal across the country and even the world.
Of course, the military department will naturally give sufficient benefits to the collaborators of the station.
The most common ones are cooperation with food and demon materials, while the military department usually provides preferential treatment for non-private resources such as magic stones.
Under the leadership of Ye Rou, everyone also came to a store. Although the decoration was not very luxurious, it occupied a large area.
【Lao Chen Grocery Store】
Of course, this kind of grocery store opened in the inn is not the usual store that sells snacks and toys in the city, but sells various things related to the outdoors.
"My last number is 2333, please note Rou." As soon as Ye Rou entered the store, she reported her notes to the boss.
The grocery store owner is a middle-aged man, and he has not suffered a mid-life crisis. He is neither fat nor bald, so he can be regarded as the best among middle-aged people.
"Okay, guest, wait a moment." The middle-aged man sat up straight and flipped through the computer in front of him.
After a while, the boss found the corresponding roster.
"Xiao Li! The one with the order number 252, be careful when moving it out!" the middle-aged boss yelled in a certain direction in the store.
"Hey!!!" A young male voice immediately responded to the boss.
"Everyone, wait a minute, there are stools over here."
Immediately, the boss walked out of his seat, moved out a pile of stools and invited everyone to sit down.
In about three minutes, a young man moved out a series of backpacks one after another, six in total.
"Everything is put in the backpack as you requested. You can check it out." Seeing that everything was put in place, the middle-aged boss said cheerfully.
After Ye Shan and Ye Rou carefully inspected the contents, they paid the balance.
The middle-aged boss smiled even more after receiving the final payment.
"Everyone, go slow! Our store has the business of recycling all kinds of demon materials, and we also cooperate with the military. No matter how much, we can digest it, so if you have such needs when you return, you can give priority to our Lao Chen Grocery Store. The price will definitely make you happy. satisfy!"
Lao Chen did not forget to place a wave of advertisements at the end.
Immediately, Ye Rou took everyone to an inn and stored her luggage in the inn, while putting clothes and other necessities into a backpack.
Immediately, everyone officially left the Beitaihang Station and began hiking towards the unknown depths.
It's not that people don't want to rent transportation, but the terrain in Beitahang is completely unsuitable for transportation.
The mountains in the North Taihang area are continuous. Except for the relatively flat area just outside the Beitahang Station, there are undulating mountains further into the area.
There are even more exaggerated areas with almost vertical cliffs, and there are cliff roads built step by step by countless hunters and ancestors.
Hunters who hang out in the Beitaihang area all year round will bring at least one wind or earth mage to facilitate their journey.
Ye Rou, who had done her homework in advance, naturally followed the instructions, and everyone stepped on Li Ruo's wind track and steadily went deeper.
The initial plan for this operation is to penetrate into the North Taihang area as early as possible and strive to reach the Weding River in the shortest possible time.
Because only after crossing the Weiding River can spotted toads appear, and it will be the rainy season in a few days, so everyone must arrive before the rainy season comes.
The Weiding River cuts off the north and south of Bei Taihang. The strength and number of demons north of the Weiding River are extremely rare, and the southern area beyond the Weiding River can truly be called a demon area.
Of course, Taihang Mountain is not a small corner like Daozui Island. It accommodates countless monsters and resources, and the area is extremely vast.
Even the North Taihang area was already astonishingly wide. The group of people drove non-stop for half a day, and they didn't get very far on the map until the sun had set for a while.
If it weren't for the fact that this section was considered a safe zone at the beginning, basically only scattered servants could be seen, and everyone's speed would be even slower.
Naturally, it was not suitable for traveling at night. Even though it was in an area where monsters were rare, Ye Rou remained absolutely calm.
Instead of having to travel a lot, it is better to go to bed early and get up early to catch the early train.
"According to our current speed, it will take about three days to reach the Weding River. If we take into account the increasing interference from demons, this time may increase."
In front of the bonfire, Ye Rou finished eating quickly and said to everyone.
"So the next few days will probably be a high-intensity journey, and Shanshan and Li Ruo may have to work hard."
Ye Shan and Li Ruo nodded.
Having three men and three women saves trouble. Just set up two tents. Each night watch is one man and one woman. Sleeping two people in one tent is not crowded at all.
"Li Ruo and Nan Yi will keep watch in the first half of the night today, and it will be me and Wang Jiazeng in the second half of the night." Ye Rou then arranged the order for the night's vigil.
"it is good."
(End of this chapter)
Chapter 164 The rainy night is coming
The moonlight was hazy, and the night was uneventful. There was a slight howling in the distance, and there was a crackling firewood in front of me.
For a mage, sleeping only four hours a day is enough in such a calm environment.
The sky has just turned foggy, and the sun shines only faintly through the thick dark clouds.
Everyone got up early, packed up, and started the next day's journey.
Today we are still driving non-stop. We only stop to rest and eat at noon. We take a short rest before setting off again.
Most of the people I met along the way were slaves traveling in groups of three or two or even alone. Of course, none of these "lonely people" dared to offend Nan Yi and his party.
Naturally, everyone will not go to great lengths to hunt these slaves, but will be happy and relaxed.
This rush lasted for two full days, and it wasn't until the third day that the pace began to slow down.
"That's the territory of the red-tailed fox. Be careful not to disturb them. They are very sensitive to the fluctuations of the fire element."
Ye Rou looked at the dense woods on the right and said with a nice frown.
At this time, everyone was between two unknown hills. Judging from some demon feces and other traces at the foot of the hills, there should be a large group of red-tailed foxes distributed on the mountains on the right.
The red-tailed fox is also one of the characteristic species of the Taihang Mountains, with an everlasting flame on the tip of its tail.
Although there is nothing visible on the hill on the left, if it were nothing, it would have been occupied by the red-tailed fox.
Therefore, this resulted in everyone having to go around from the foot of the mountain instead of taking the fastest and most direct route.
And this situation is not the first time today.
In the morning, everyone met a group of Eurasian wild boars. Fortunately, they discovered their movements in advance and avoided accidentally entering.
You should know that almost all monsters, especially social monsters, have a strong sense of territory, especially violent monsters like Eurasian wild boars.
If those sharp fangs stabbed at Nanyi's group of people collectively, a lot of time would be wasted trying to avoid them.
As for the red-tailed fox group in front of them, it took Nanyi and his party a whole afternoon to safely circumvent this area.
"Fortunately, we didn't meet the flying demon group, otherwise we might not even be able to evade it." Ye Rou breathed a sigh of relief and started to set up the tent.
Tonight, the location where everyone was stationed was no longer as arbitrary as the previous two days. They chose a relatively secluded area in the woods, backed by bushes.
Even the bonfire in front of the tent was not as strong as it was two days ago. However, it may also be because it is raining lightly at the moment.
Yes, since midnight last night, it has started to rain continuously in the Taihang area.
The rain has not diminished even a little bit since it lasted the whole day, and even seems to be getting heavier and heavier.
The earth beneath their feet had long since turned into thick mud, and everyone couldn't help but strengthen the corners when setting up tents.
The rainy season that never misses every year is still the same this year, but the rainy season for most of the month is also an opportunity for a large number of hunters to make money.
After all, during the rainy season in the Taihang Mountains, many treasures that are not found in ordinary times often appear. Rare monsters, plants and even spiritual species are not uncommon.
The piebald toad that everyone is looking for also belongs to this type of rare monster, and it is the one that has a price but no market.
As for what they eat every day, they usually come from monsters that everyone kills along the way.
"Tonight, Wang Jiazeng and I will stay for the rest of the night, and Chen Changben and Shanshan will stay for the rest of the night." Ye Rou assigned the duty tasks as usual.
After the other four people packed up, they entered the tent to rest. Outside, Ye Rou and the Wang family were sitting in front of their respective tents. There was a bonfire in the middle. The spiritual flame was relatively strong in the natural drizzle.
The sound of raindrops could be heard in my ears. Apart from the rain, everything else seemed to be no different from before.
But this is not in the safe world. Everything is no longer stable and reliable, especially on this rainy night in the wild where sight and hearing are obscured!
"There are a bunch of monsters!"
Suddenly, Wang Jiazeng frowned and made a sound, which was not deliberately lowered and immediately caught Ye Rou's attention.
The Wang family has felt no less than twenty aggressive mental fluctuations, and they are becoming more and more obvious!
"Hey! Hey!"
"cracking!"
The next moment, not even the sound of rain could cover up the movement of this group of uninvited guests.
"Everyone, be careful!"
Without Ye Rou's command, waves of spiritual fluctuations appeared on Wang Jiazeng's body, awakening everyone.
Everyone who had not been in deep sleep suddenly stood up.
Everyone who came out of the tent gathered together, trying to see clearly the group of uninvited guests through the drizzle and dark night.
