Ling Ling did not panic when she saw the man with bad intentions. She asked the question instead, "Is it true that your superior can control the Sandstorm Demon Locusts?"
"What's the point of knowing that? I'm quite curious, what is a little girl like you doing here? Most girls would still be studying at school, playing with their little dresses at home, or going shopping and eating desserts, right?" the man grinned and slowly approached Ling Ling.
"I hate those things," Ling Ling replied.
"If it was me in the past, I wouldn't have tried to kill a little girl like you, but you should know that I have no choice but to carry out my superior's orders. I can't afford to leak a single word about what happened here," the man moved closer. He stared at Ling Ling coldly with his chin.
"No one is going to believe the words of a little girl like me," Ling Ling lifted her head and said sternly.
The man chuckled. The little girl was just too adorable. "I have no choice.
"There's nothing we can do about it, an order is an order. We can't leave anyone alive after entering this place. Some things should just be buried under the sand. Why do we have to dig them out? Wouldn't more people die if we dig them out? Everyone thinks the scariest thing in this desert is the Sandstorm Demon Locusts, but those who are familiar with Commander Shi know he's the real king of scorpions in this desert!" The captain continued to smile, but his smile gradually lost its warmth.
He raised his right hand slightly, and a black shadow circled around his palm, slowly turning into a sharp black blade. The tip of the blade was pointed at Ling Ling's temple.
"Do you know you're a bad guy?" Ling Ling asked.
"Yes, of course I do," the man was still smiling.
"But you have no idea, most bad guys die because they talk too much. Most of the time, you should just attack them directly. Idiot!" Ling Ling scolded him.
The tall and thin officer was slightly startled. Just as he was about to fly into a rage out of humiliation, a black shadow bird appeared beside him. The shadow bird quickly dissipated, and a handsome figure stood less than half a meter away from the tall and thin officer.
This person had a pair of dark brown eyes, but there seemed to be flames in his eyes that were about to spurt out at any time. The tall and thin officer had never felt such a terrifying pressure, and his entire body turned cold.
"Don't you dare touch her!" The pair of eyes that were spewing sparks belonged to none other than Mofan. He had followed the mark left by Ling Ling to this place.
Unfortunately, this military officer who had appeared out of nowhere was threatening Ling Ling!
"You … Who are you?!" The tall and thin officer was aghast.
The other party was also of the Shadow Element, but he hadn't noticed it at all. This meant that this person's Shadow Element cultivation was more than one level higher than his!
Furthermore, this was the first time he had heard that the Fleeing Shadow Bird could be used in such a way!
"You don't need to know who I am. Just remember before you die, I'm ten times scarier than your so-called Commander!" Mofan threw a punch at the tall and thin officer's chest.
The force of the punch was boosted by the Space Element. The tall and thin officer's chest caved in as he flew into the distance like a bullet and slammed heavily into a pile of black rocks.
The tall and thin officer spat out mouthfuls of blood as he sank into the rocks. The armor he was wearing barely saved his life, but he was in great pain when his bones were shattered into pieces.
"That's … that's all you got, compared to General Shi …" the tall and thin officer said with a hint of mockery. It was obvious that the man was not afraid of death.
"Huhuhuhu ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~"
However, before he could finish his sentence, a huge ball of flames burst out of his body. In less than a second, the Ardent Sunset had completely engulfed the officer. Even the pile of rocks he was standing on was burned to ashes!
The fire was still spreading, devouring a huge part of the mountain. As a matter of fact, the tall and thin officer and his armor had long been burned to ashes, yet the remaining flames were still spreading wildly, just like Mofan's uncontrollable rage!
"Who the hell is that General Shi?" Mo Fan clenched his fist and extinguished the fire in the distance. He turned around and asked Lingling, "Are you alright?"
"Compared to that, I think you should take care of those demon locusts first," Ling Ling pointed in another direction. He could vaguely see two petite figures.
Mofan was startled. He finally realized they were Mui Nujiao and Jiang Shaoxu. They were running toward the Burning Mountain. Most importantly, they were being followed by countless Sandstorm Demon Locusts!
The demon locusts were like a cloud of dust, but they formed a line in the sky. They were getting closer to Mui Nujiao and Jiang Shaoxu. Some of the demon locusts that were flying at a faster speed even started attacking them!
The number of Sandstorm Demon Locusts was overwhelming. They would soon turn into skeletons. Mofan did not have the time to ask Ling Ling. He quickly cast Blink.
"I'm fine here, hurry up and save them," Ling Ling said to Mofan.
Mofan nodded. He connected the last silver Star Pattern with the silver Star Constellation, forming a bigger Blink Pattern.
A silver light flickered. Mofan's figure turned blurry in the trembling space. As the light reached its limit, Mofan suddenly vanished into thin air. He reappeared halfway up the mountain in the blink of an eye …
Ling Ling glanced at Mofan. She saw another silver Star Constellation appearing halfway up the mountain. The Star Constellation dissipated, and Mofan disappeared again. Ling Ling glanced into the distance and saw Mofan had already reached the end of the desert …
The silver Star Constellation flickered again. Mofan was already behind the sand dunes. His figure was getting smaller, but he was extremely close to Mui Nujiao and Jiang Shaoxu.
Lingling let out a relieved sigh when she saw how far Mo Fan had gone in just a few moments.
…
Buzz! Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!
The Sandstorm Demon Locusts were fairly quick when they beat their wings. The noise they produced was no longer sound, but a sonic wave that was strong enough to sweep across the sand dunes.
As the Sandstorm Demon Locusts approached, the terrifying sonic wave swept across the area. Mui Nujiao and Jiang Shaoxu were unable to focus on casting their spells. A few vicious Sandstorm Demon Locusts flew past them. Their sharp claws tore through their clothes and skin, leaving bloody wounds behind.
The other Sandstorm Demon Locusts lunged at them when they smelled fresh blood. They were going to devour the two women in an orderly fashion!
"We're having trouble casting our spells!" Jiang Shaoxu forcibly activated his defensive equipment, hoping to buy himself some time.
They finally understood why the Sandstorm Demon Locusts were able to roam freely. The sound produced by their wings was extremely powerful. Magicians had to focus when casting spells, and the sound produced by their wings was enough to deal a fatal blow to a Magician's mind!
Buzz! Buzz! Buzz! Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!
The Armor that the two women were wearing was not going to last for long. The Sandstorm Demon Locusts were densely packed around them, forming a giant yellow cocoon. There was one around Mui Nujiao, and one around Jiang Shaoxu!
When the two women were about to reach their limit, a voice came from among the noises, "Little Flame Belle, take them out!"
A tiny fiery figure flew in. She was surrounded by a fiery halo that slowly expanded. It would set the Sandstorm Demon Locusts' wings and bodies on fire as soon as it came into contact with them …
Soon, the fiery red flames spread rapidly among the Sandstorm Demon Locusts. The wild flames soon turned the whole place red. The Sandstorm Demon Locusts had no chance of enduring the high temperature of the Ardent Sunset. Hundreds and thousands of them died in the flames!
Little Flame Belle let out a cry.
Little Flame Belle seemed to have noticed that the burning rate was slowing down. She opened her mouth and spat out a brown flame. It swiftly turned into a Calamity Fire Dragon, crushing the Sandstorm Demon Locusts horizontally!
The damage of the Calamity Fire was on par with the Ardent Sunset. The two Soul-grade Flames were competing with one another to see who could eliminate the most Sandstorm Demon Locusts!
Squeak! Squeak! Squeak!
The Sandstorm Demon Locusts were soon burned to ashes. Their ashes scattered in the air.
Mofan, Jiang Shaoxu, and Mui Nujiao finally had some peace. As a matter of fact, Mofan was having trouble dealing with the Sandstorm Demon Locusts. The sound of their wings could cripple a Mage instantly. Luckily, the Ardent Sunset that Little Flame Belle had just acquired was the bane of the Sandstorm Demon Locusts. Otherwise, they would not have been able to eliminate the Sandstorm Demon Locusts in such a short time.
Luckily, only a small group of Sandstorm Demon Locusts had attacked Mui Nujiao and Jiang Shaoxu. If the whole army of Sandstorm Demon Locusts had shown up, Mofan would have struggled to save them. He had no idea how long it would take to burn the Sandstorm Demon Locusts.
"Mofan!"
"Mofan, you're finally here!"
The two women almost burst into tears. Being eaten by the Sandstorm Demon Locusts was definitely the worst way to die!
"It's alright, it's alright …" Mofan quickly comforted them.
Mui Nujiao and Jiang Shaoxu were given a great fright. The experience of being in the desert was beyond what they could handle. They were still in a daze after surviving the disaster. They even forgot that they were still in ragged clothes. Their fair, smooth skin that was not injured was exposed. It was rare that they did not get tanned after being in the desert for so many days …
Mofan hugged them and comforted them while looking at the Sandstorm Demon Locusts.
After some time, the two women finally realized that Mofan had tainted their innocence countless times. They quickly looked for a place to treat their wounds and change their clothes.
"Mofan, are you so crazy that you're not afraid of the Sandstorm Demon Locusts anymore?" Jiang Shaoxu looked at Mofan with admiration.
"Little Flame Belle has been resurrected. She has obtained a new Soul-grade Fire. It's the Sandstorm Demon Locusts' nemesis," Mofan said honestly.
