Shanghai Airport

As soon as he came out, Bai Mo saw a familiar figure with a graceful figure. She had a calm and natural temperament. She was wearing simple white casual clothes, standing like a quiet and elegant lotus.

Just standing there, he stood out from the crowd, attracting everyone's attention.

With a surprised smile on his face, Bai Mo walked up to her in two or three steps, opened his arms and gave her a hug.

"Did you miss me?"

"I did."

"I miss you as well."

Seeing this, the people around cast their blessing glances at him. Only one little girl stood by and watched without blinking, which made Bai Mo speechless.

He let go of Ding Yumian, naturally held her hand, and asked as he walked out:

"How did you know I would come today?"

"I told Sister Yumian, why don't you hug me anymore? I thought you would kiss each other."

"Children should stay out of adult matters."

"Bai Mo, you have no conscience!" Lingling paused, and suddenly pointed at Bai Mo and shouted, immediately attracting the attention of people around.

Immediately, the gossip spread among the crowd. Bai Mo's mouth twitched. What should he do when his sister-in-law suddenly becomes bad-tempered?

Under great pressure, he took the two girls away and returned to Qingtian Hunting Ground, where he just happened to see Leng Qing coming back as well.

"Qingqing, do you miss me?"

"fine."

Leng Qing stared at him with eyes flashing, and saw that the man suddenly hugged him.

"open."

"No, tell me you miss me."

"Grandpa is in there."

"." Bai Mo was startled and subconsciously glanced at the place where Old Man Bao often sat in the hunting ground. He immediately met Old Man Bao's narrowed eyes.

"Ahem, Old Man Bao, you're here too."

Letting go of Leng Qing, Bai Mo walked into the hunting ground, sat down naturally opposite Old Man Bao, picked up a teacup, and poured himself a cup of tea.

"You are quite courageous."

Old Man Bao paused for a moment before continuing, "I heard you were going to the northwest, so I won't stop you. But if you take my two granddaughters with you, I have to come and see them, right?"

"Uh" Bai Mo glanced at Old Man Bao, then glanced at the cup in front of him, feeling a little embarrassed, "Well, I promise to bring them back safely, Old Man Bao, if you are worried..."

"It's not impossible for you to go with me."

"Oh, that's a nice thought."

Old Man Bao shook his head, and suddenly opened his eyes. His bright and dazzling eyes fell on Bai Mo. In an instant, an extremely powerful pressure fell down, making people feel that the whole world was collapsing and the whole person was about to fall apart.

His head sank, and Bai Mo subconsciously put up protection, pulling his mind away from this powerful pressure.

However, as soon as the defense was put up, the pressure disappeared immediately, making him feel as if he was fighting a battle of wits and courage with the air.

"Well, not bad." Lowering his eyes, Old Man Bao returned to his old age posture, as if nothing had happened just now, and slowly took out a strange crescent-shaped stone.

"This is the certificate for entering Mogao Grottoes. Go quickly and come back quickly."

"That's it?"

Bai Mo put the things away and raised his eyebrows.

"It's a little short. Let me write a suicide note to prevent Lao Bai from causing trouble for me."

“.”

After resting for a while at the Qingtian Hunting House, I chatted with Leng Qing and Ding Yumian about some recent events.

"I plan to take Bai Ze with me."

"That's good."

"Senior Jiang is also going to go with me."

“That’s good.”

"The Northwest is not a good place, you should report to the family. During this period of time, I have screened the domestic hunter groups and found three good ones. Lingling and I will contact them." Leng Qing said.

Bai Mo nodded. His sister was thoughtful and had arranged everything.

"Then you guys chat, I'll go back."

He did have to make some arrangements, but reporting to the family was secondary. If he did anything, most of the time he would leave information at the Qingtian Hunting House.

The important thing is that now that I’m back, I have to go and see Ai Tutu and Hollow Willow.

I have a lot of Time Liquid now, and I can give some of it to Hollow Willow. This is a real helper.

To Bai Mo's surprise, he did not find Ai Tutu in Mingzhu Academy and Jinyuan Apartment. There were even signs that no one had lived in the apartment for a long time.

"Hey, Bai Mo, you still remember to call me?" Ai Tutu's energetic voice came.

"I'm back in the Magic City. Where have you been?"

"I'm training in the capital. I tell you, I've been working very hard during this period. My dad's jaw dropped when he saw me."

"Have you returned to the Magic City? I'll come to see you after you come back for a few days."

"I'll leave tomorrow."

"Okay, okay, don't waste your time."

With a slight smile, Bai Mo arrived at Dingshan, but he did not find the head of the Bai family, so he was too lazy to look for him, left a letter, and returned to his manor.

I did see a hollow willow tree. It seemed to be sleeping and only woke up after sensing a familiar scent.

Swish, swish, swish!

In an instant, the entire willow tree shook, and millions of branches and leaves were suddenly covered with white ink.

"Alright alright, woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!"

The icy cold branches and leaves instantly covered his whole body. No one knew better than Bai Mo how clingy a tree could be. He couldn't even imagine if his girlfriends were this clingy.

"Let go, I brought you something good."

The hollow willow obviously didn't care about good things. Its branches hugged Bai Mo and circled around for several times before letting it go.

After tidying up his messy clothes, Bai Mo took out the Time Liquid and said, "This is a good thing that can accelerate growth. Here it is for you."

He divided the Liquid of Time into four portions, each with the same capacity. Bai Mo held the container of Liquid of Time in his hand and poured it on the hollow willow.

The Liquid of Time looked very ordinary from the outside, and nothing could be sensed. Even the Hollow Willow did not notice it, but when it was poured on it, its effect was immediately felt by it.

It can be clearly seen that as soon as the Liquid of Time fell on the trunk of the hollow willow, the whole willow tree lit up with silver light. Almost in an instant, the transparent Liquid of Time was immediately absorbed, and no trace of moisture could be seen on the trunk.

"How about it?"

After absorbing it, Bai Mo asked curiously. The amount in this bottle was equivalent to the large portion he got in the time and space town.

There are so many of them, even if Hollow Willow is the Great Monarch, it should be of some use.

However, the hollow willow seemed to be absorbing the energy of the liquid of time and did not respond.

Seeing this, Bai Mo waited. Before long, the silver willow branches began to grow thicker, and a strong, huge, and vast aura emerged.

The hollow willow as a whole has not changed, but one can see a willow tree shadow composed entirely of silver light spreading out from the hollow willow.

The shadow enlarged at a speed visible to the naked eye. In just a few seconds, it became a huge tree shadow that covered the entire manor.

Bai Mo stood in the shadow of the trees, looking at the outside world, which was all shrouded in translucent silver light. He could feel that the entire space here was filled with rich spatial power.

"What is that?"

In the outside world, other people who were closer to the manor were the first to notice the sudden appearance of the huge silver tree shadow. The trunk of the tree connected the sky and the ground, and was comparable to the Pearl Mage Tower. The branches hung down, covering the manor that stretched for more than a hundred acres, turning it into a world in the trees.

"Supreme Monarch?! What did this kid do?!"

Qingtian Hunting Ground, Mingzhu Mage Tower, Mingzhu Academy, Dean Xiao and others were all shocked when they saw the tree shadows that could be seen clearly from a thousand meters away, and they had deep questions in their hearts.

In just two seconds, the extremely powerful aura subsided and the shadow in the air disappeared. Dean Xiao took a deep breath, glanced at the manor shrouded in the silver field, and shook his head.

"The internet is going to be in turmoil again."

"Why don't you go in and take a look?" said Min Wu, the president of the Demon City.

"It's nothing to see, it's not a bad thing, but that tree is a space type, I can't do anything about it."

"You have no other choice? I am embarrassed to expose you."

Min Wu shook his head. He still didn't understand this old guy.

Bai Mo didn't know that his actions attracted two important figures. When he saw the hollow willow return to its original state and its breath receded, he stayed for a while and saw the hollow willow begin to fall asleep and digest.

Considering that it only exploded for a few seconds before receding, he guessed that this process might not take long, but he didn't have time to stay here and observe.

After returning to Qingtian Hunting Ground, he recounted what had just happened and looked at Lingling.

"Have you contacted the Hunter Group?"

"I have contacted them. They are in Dunhuang now. They are the Xuandu Hunter Group."

Lingling nodded slightly and continued, "This group of hunters is going to the flames near the Taklamakan Desert to look for soul seeds. I heard that our Qingtian Hunting Agency wants to take a ride. They don't need any commission, they just want us to help them find soul seeds, and then they are willing to follow us through the desert."

"Soul seeds are hard to find, and the Flame Mountain is huge. Do they have a target?"

Ding Yumian next to him asked, Huoyan Mountain is also a well-known elemental holy land in the northwest, so there may be natural fire soul seeds, but if there is no target, it would be a great waste of time.

In fact, many places in the country that are rich in elements are explored by hunters. Most hunters go to these places with only one purpose, which is to search for elemental species, advanced elemental species!

Selling intelligence or selling finished products, no matter which one, is not something that can be accomplished in the short term.

"Of course, I have already asked. They have a clear intelligence target. And I have discussed with their second-in-command that if we don't find it within half a month after arriving at the flame, or if we encounter irresistible difficulties, we will withdraw, and they will need to cross the desert with us."

Lingling responded immediately, her voice clear, and continued, "Bai Mo and I encountered the Xuandu Hunter Group two years ago. Later, I specifically looked up this group again. They are often active in the north, have a good reputation, and do things honestly. You can rest assured."

Hearing this, several people nodded. Bai Mo also remembered the leader of this hunter group. He still remembered that this leader was a super-class fire element.

It seems that their plan to look for fire soul seeds this time is to find a powerful soul seed for their leader.

"Then let's go to Dunhuang first and meet up with them. Mogao Grottoes are nearby." Bai Mo made the decision immediately.

"Well, most of Qingjiang is occupied by demons, and most of the human towns are semi-militarized. The town closest to the desert area is Kunwu, which is a military town. We also need to make some reports in advance about where we are leaving from," Lingling said.

In fact, with Hua Zhanhong's information, they already have a target. Large areas of Qingjiang are undeveloped. Most of the areas there have no names, but there are a few places that stand out.

Large regions such as Kunlun, Tianshan, Altai Mountains, Turpan, Junggar, etc. still have names, and the Pamir Plateau is no exception.

To be honest, that place is almost the westernmost part of the entire Kyushu, and Lingling is looking forward to the journey very much.

Without any delay, they rested for a night and flew to Dunhuang the next day.

I found the Xuandu Hunter Group at the Plum Blossom Tavern, greeted them, exchanged a few pleasantries, and then got down to business.

"The Flame Mountain is in the front-middle area north of the Taklamakan Desert. We got the soul seed information from the auction held by the Northwest Army Mage."

The second captain Wu Xuan said, he still had an elegant and unrestrained demeanor, making people feel that he should not be in the hunter group, but in the Taoist temple.

"Okay, Kunwu's pass inspection will take another two days. Shall we gather here in two days?" Bai Mo said.

"Brother Bai, do you have anything to do? Do you need help?" Wen Du, who was sitting there, said immediately after hearing this.

"It's a small matter. Don't bother me, Brother Wen." He smiled. This familiar and outgoing enthusiasm suddenly reminded him of the feeling of carrying out a mission with this hunter group two years ago.

"Okay, we'll wait for you here in two days. If time is not enough, we can wait a few more days." Waving his hand, Wen Du said generously.

"good."

Bai Mo agreed generously. Accepting other people's kindness is also a kind of magnanimity.

The monsters living around Mogao Grottoes are all native to Dunhuang, mainly four monster groups, namely, the howling sand tiger, the sand dragon lizard, the mud and stone cow and the flaming horse.

Among them, the Sand Howling Tigers are at the war general level and their numbers are moderate, while the Sand Lizards and Mudstone Oxen are mostly composed of slaves. However, the one who leads the tribe is the commander, which is recorded in the data.

The last one is the Fiery Horse. Like the Sand Howling Tiger, this is also a general-level tribe. However, the number of the Fiery Horse tribe is greater than that of the Sand Howling Tiger, and this tribe also has a leader.

Bai Mo seriously suspected that Hua Zhanhong and the others wanted him at this time, and that Old Man Bao was secretly (openly) here to test their strength, just to let him get rid of the leaders of the three ethnic groups here.

The Sand Howling Tiger tribe has no leader, so they are active in the outermost area centered on the Mogao Grottoes. Therefore, they can be seen in many places in Dunhuang, simply because they cannot compete with the other three tribes.

They arrived at the vicinity of Mogao Grottoes without stopping. Bai Mo only brought Ding Yumian with him. With her help, even the bloodthirsty Sand Tiger would turn into a docile kitten.

Therefore, none of the ferocious sand tigers roaming around the outermost area could stop them. (End of this chapter)
