Chapter 76 The Hunter Mages Suffer a Crushing Blow
"Oh, with your personality, you're no different from those old ladies whose square dancing spots have been taken away."
Mo Fan, who was also quick to speak his mind, immediately joined Zhao Manyan in a back-and-forth exchange.
The black-and-yellow female mage turned green with anger, looking ready to teach these two ignorant fellows a lesson.
However, a man with a black beard and a somewhat masculine appearance, who looked like a captain, stepped forward and blocked the black-and-yellow female mage.
He doesn't advocate taking direct action, since they're all in demon territory, and it's best for hunter mages to help each other.
They were upset that their prey had been snatched away so inexplicably. After all, they had worked together to injure the Sand Howling Tiger, which was no longer as ferocious as it had been at its peak...
"Young men, we've taken some time to kill this Sand Howling Tiger, otherwise you wouldn't have gotten away with it so easily. How about this, we'll check the body to see if there are any unusual bones, blood, or skin. We'll split it 50/50," the black-bearded captain said in a very agreeable tone.
He couldn't discern the cultivation level of the man in black opposite him, but he figured he was probably a high-level mage like himself. If they were to fight, it would be hard to say who would win.
"Hmph! They don't even have the shame of being hunters!" Lingling was very unhappy with the other party's behavior.
"Hey, you little brat, who are you calling shameless? This prey is ours! Get down here, and I'll teach you a lesson!" The dark-skinned female mage exploded, pointing at Lingling and angrily cursing.
"We're following the hunters' rules, how is that shameless?" The black-bearded captain's face darkened.
"Has no one taught you how to respect your elders?" Lingling asked.
"Senior? Heh, you're really making me laugh. You bunch of delicate-skinned kids, you look like students who came out of high school for training. If we hadn't injured Sha Xiaohu, would you have been able to deal with it?" the black-and-yellow female mage said sarcastically.
This person was incredibly talkative, rambling on and on, and even took out his hunter's medal.
Lingling calmly took out her hunter's medal and flashed it in front of the group.
"Look carefully!"
The hunter mages' eyes widened in disbelief.
They stared at Lingling in disbelief, then at the Hunter's Medal with even more disbelief.
But this thing can't be faked, which means this little girl really is a master hunter?
These few hunter mages are only high-level hunters; they are still a mountain of bounty points away from becoming hunter masters.
The Hunter's Alliance requires junior hunters to respect their seniors, not to compete with them for prey, and absolutely not to show any disrespect to them...
The black-and-yellow female mage's face was full of expressions, and she couldn't speak for a long time.
The displeasure on the black-bearded captain's face froze.
If this little girl is a master hunter, what about the others in her team?
"Let's go."
"Captain, this..."
"Shut up!"
Captain Blackbeard and his men slunk away, having lost all face.
This little incident passed quickly, and everyone continued on their way.
This battlefield wasn't exactly boundless; after traveling for about a day, the land transformed into a Gobi desert dotted with countless exposed rocks.
With Zhang Xiaohou in the team, the skills he learned in the military came in handy, especially his dual displacement skills, which allowed him to use his agile movements to lure away the unavoidable Sand Roar Tigers.
If they really encounter some blind fools, then Mu Long will teach them a lesson.
Soon, they arrived at the area where the Sand River was located.
The Shawang River is a plateau stream that had dried up long ago, but after years of wind erosion, the entire riverbed has become incredibly wide.
Even on a map, the Shawang River looks like a long, earth-colored dragon lying across Dunhuang. Its length is almost half of Gansu Province, and its narrowest point is probably more than ten kilometers long!
The Sand River is filled with white sand demon soldiers. Standing on the rising Gobi Desert, looking ahead is a dry land that sinks down!
"Isn't it said that White Sand Demon Soldiers can be seen everywhere here? Why haven't I seen a single one?" Zhang Xiaohou said, striking a pose like the Monkey King gazing ahead.
Everyone had the same question. At this moment, Lingling took out Sha Xiaohu's internal organs from her backpack and handed them to Zhang Xiaohou: "Throw them far away."
Zhang Xiaohou mustered all his strength and threw the entrails into the Shawang River. Instantly, layers of mud and sand burst open in the calm white mud.
Amidst the sand waves, one after another, three-meter-tall semi-giant creatures wielding sand-transformed longswords stood up. They neatly surrounded the bloody entrails, observing them warily for a moment before transforming into fine grains of white sand and scattering them into the Sand River.
The whole process took only a few seconds. Dozens of white sand demon soldiers suddenly emerged from the calm white sand, and then the sand returned to its previous calm!
"It's just an internal organ, there shouldn't be this much coming out, right?" Zhang Xiaohou stared in disbelief, then said, "If our group were to go over there, wouldn't we be met with an entire army of White Sand Demon Soldiers!"
The others nodded in agreement; thankfully, they hadn't gone ahead rashly.
"We'll camp and rest by the river tonight, and set off again at daybreak tomorrow," Lingling said.
Soon, the group found a sheltered spot and set up camp...
Night fell quickly, and the others went to rest, leaving only Lu Jie and Mo Fan to keep watch.
The desert is completely different at night and during the day; it's unbearably hot during the day and freezing cold at night.
Fortunately, they brought appropriate clothing; otherwise, they don't know how they would have gotten through that long, cold night.
Suddenly, footsteps seemed to come from afar, the sound heavy and overlapping, and it was impossible to tell how many creatures were running wildly across the Gobi Desert.
Lu Jie woke Zhang Xiaohou up and asked him to guard the tent, while he went to investigate.
Arriving at a raised rock face, Lu Jie hid in a crevice and looked into the distance. There was no obstruction in front of him, and under the moonlight, he saw a group of Sand Roaring Tigers running wildly across the land.
There were about six or seven of them, and they seemed to be chasing something.
Upon closer inspection, they turned out to be the same group of hunter mages I had encountered yesterday.
In their panic, they plunged headlong into the Shawang River.
The group of Sand Howling Tigers that had been chasing them stopped at the riverbank. They wanted to devour the human mages, but dared not take another step forward!
Soon, amidst a whirlwind of white sand, rows upon rows of white sand demon soldiers appeared, wielding their massive sand-transformed blades, slamming them down upon the hunter mages...
After a series of piercing screams, they turned into countless flying fragments!
