Mofan followed Yu Shishi's directions and went into the woods with her.
Mofan soon caught a whiff of a pleasant scent. As a chatterbox, he could not help but ask, "Have you really been living here all this time? Isolated from the rest of the world, making your own food and clothing?"
Mofan had heard about a special group of people who lived outside the safe zone. They were able to avoid being harassed by demon creatures using an ancient method, just like the people living in danger in the Ancient Capital.
"Mmm, I have a special scent on me. The demon creatures won't attack me," Yu Shishi said half-truthfully.
"What a magical scent, let me take a sniff," Mofan moved his nose closer.
Yu Shishi immediately blushed. She glared at him and said, "You're such a pervert!"
"I'm just curious. If we can develop your scent, doesn't that mean Mages like us will be able to enter the demon creatures' territory whenever we want? We won't have to hide in the city like we are now," Mofan said seriously.
Yu Shishi did not respond. Her face was cold.
"I'm just kidding, why are you pulling a long face? You should smile more to look younger and prettier. I'm only so handsome because I'm smiling all the time," Mofan said.
"How shameless can you be?" Yu Shishi had never seen such a thick-skinned man. She was thinking that the guy was going to be in trouble once they ventured deeper into the woods.
"Aren't I handsome? Take a closer look."
"It's too dark, I can't see clearly."
"I can let you touch me."
"Can you shut up?"
The woods grew thicker. Mofan could no longer tell his direction. He sniffed the air and realized that it was a little damp. < >
The leaves were wet, the grass was wet, and even the trees seemed to be sweating like rain, dripping some liquid from time to time.
However, this dampness was not the disgusting itchy or moldy feeling. It seemed to be rich with a faint fragrance. It was a very comfortable fragrance.
"You heard some noise here. My student might be here," Mofan said after checking the surroundings.
Mofan's back was facing Yu Shishi. Yu Shishi's gaze sharpened. She waved her finger to control the moths hiding behind the trees while talking to Mofan, trying to get him to lower his guard.
"By the way, what was your flame? Why is it different from the Fire Mages I've seen before?" Yu Shishi asked curiously. She slowly approached Mofan as she spoke.
"Oh, it's the Ardent Sunset, a powerful flame I found in the desert. it's effective against insects.. huh? That's my student's bag?" Mofan.
Yu Shishi was startled. She quickly ordered the moths that were trying to ambush Mo Fan to disperse.
Yu Shishi had heard of the flame. It was extremely effective against insects. If she did not subdue the man in an instant, her little creatures would suffer great casualties.
"Aha, he's fine here. He's not injured, but he seems to be asleep!" Mofan found Bai Hongfei in a wet bush.
He was not injured, but he seemed to be unconscious. Mofan could not wake him up no matter how hard he shook him. If it weren't for his pulse, Mofan would have thought he was dead.
"Your student is pretty bold, sleeping here," Yu Shishi pulled her hand back and said to Mofan.
"He seems to have been hypnotized by some plant." Mo Fan said with a frown.
"Let me take a look." Yu Shishi went over and pretended to examine Bai Hongfei. "I think so. I've seen things that can hypnotize people in the mountains."
"Do you know how to undo it?" Mofan asked.
Yu Shishi shook her head.
"Forget it, let's bring him back to the town. Maybe the Healers can take care of him. Come with me. I don't feel safe leaving you in the mountains," Mofan said.
"Sure, I live in the town," Yu Shishi agreed.
Mofan chatted with Yu Shishi for a while as he carried Bai Hongfei on his back. Mofan was quite interested in the scent that allowed her to hide among demon creatures. Unfortunately, Yu Shishi did not seem to be willing to cooperate with the experiment.
Mo Fan did not force her. He could not possibly tie her up and force her onto the stage, just because she was unwilling.
When he arrived at the foot of the mountain, Mo Fan happened to see a group of people walking along the path. He could easily tell that they were Hunters from their attire.
Yu Shishi followed Mofan. She only saw a huge group of people when they turned a corner. She immediately realized something and glared at Mofan.
"Are you the one who brought them here?" Yu Shishi said coldly.
"Yeah," Mofan nodded.
Yu Shishi moved her fingers again. Her aura slowly spread out from her body.
She hated it when people lied to her. She had only gone easy on Mofan because she thought he was not related to her. To her surprise, he had actually sent a bunch of Hunters to ambush her!
These days, she had been angered by the hunters. < >
Yu Shishi was about to attack Mofan, but Mofan quickly went up to Cao Qinqin and said, "I've found him. Thank you for coming. I'll still give you the contribution points. I'm sorry about that."
When the hunters heard this, their faces were instantly filled with smiles.
They had not even started the experiment, yet they had already received the contribution points. Wasn't it too comfortable? The Basic and Intermediate Hunters were quite happy about it.
Yu Shishi froze in place. She was annoyed. Was the assh * * * doing it on purpose?
"Teacher, why did you bring a beauty out?" Cao Qinqin looked at Yu Shishi in surprise.
"She's lost, so I brought her out. By the way, she was the one who found Bai Hongfei. I should thank her, "Mofan said.
Yu Shishi was not fond of interacting with Hunters. She left after a few words.
Mofan stared at Yu Shishi's back with a greedy look. However, his expression shifted when she was some distance away.
"What's wrong, teacher?" Cao Qinqin asked.
"She has an unusual aura. She must have something to do with the water," Mofan said.
"Ah, teacher, why didn't you capture her?"
"If I found Bai Hongfei's corpse, I wouldn't have gone easy on her," Mofan said.
If Yu Shishi did not kill Bai Hongfei, it meant Bai Hongfei must have seen something that Yu Shishi did not want him to see. She had knocked him out and hypnotized him for the same reason. Mo Fan did not want to alert the enemy for the time being. He wanted to see what Yu Shishi was up to.
"But teacher, I don't feel anything different about her," Cao Qinqin said.
"It only means you're too naive. You're not alert to any creature or force that could threaten you," Mofan knocked Cao Qinqin on the head.
"Teacher, you're not that much older than me," Cao Qinqin said with an aggrieved look.
"Ask Zhou Lixin to follow her. She knows me, so she should be wary of me. Besides, I'm pretty handsome, and Zhou Lixin has an average face. It'll be easier for him to investigate the woman," Mofan said to Cao Qinqin.
"…" Cao Qinqin was lost for words. She said softly, "Teacher, you're so funny."
"Cao Qinqin, so you're planning to stay at your alma mater for a few more years," Mofan glared at Cao Qinqin.
"Teacher, I'm sorry. You're the most handsome person I've ever seen."
"My back is aching from carrying that idiot Bai Hongfei. Give me a massage."
"Sure thing!"
Bai Hongfei did not wake up. The doctors could not do anything even after they arrived at the Rehabilitation Institute.
To put it bluntly, Bai Hongfei was not injured, nor was he cursed. He was just sleeping like a person in a vegetative state. His symptoms were perfectly normal. His stomach would grumble when he was hungry, so he had to rely on an IV drip.
Mofan was quite troubled. He wanted to know why the water vein was blocked. Bai Hongfei must have some clues, yet the person who knew the clues was still asleep.
"Do you have any clues?" Mofan asked.
Mofan had sent his students to check the water vein. They discovered that the water was flowing smoothly, but as soon as they left, the water vein would be blocked. Not a single drop of water would flow into Tongxiang, preventing Dean Xiao's formation from working properly.
The Water Circulation Formation needed a constant supply of water to irrigate the fields and protect the towns.
"Teacher, teacher, I noticed that apart from Bai Hongfei, a few other families are in the same situation. Do you want to take a look?" Cao Qinqin asked.
Mofan began to ponder, but he did not have enough clues. He could not figure out why Yu Shishi had put the people in a coma. What was she trying to hide?
It turned out that the one who started the trouble had to untie it. He had no choice but to find the answer from Yu Shishi.
"Teacher, this is bad! The City Hunters have taken the person you asked me to keep an eye on. I went to ask them, and the Hunter told me that she's the daughter of a moth demon. She has killed a lot of people!" Zhou Lixin rushed over and blurted out to Mofan.
"The daughter of a moth demon of the City Hunters has killed people?" Mofan was astounded.
Mofan suddenly recalled the rumors he had heard in the manor on Chongming Island. It was said that there was a moth demon in Wuzhen who was obsessed with bewitching people. She would often appear at night and kill people silently.
Could it be that the moth demon was Yu Shishi?
"Sir, sir, something bad has happened!" Another student ran over to Mo Fan before he could collect his thoughts from the moth woman's incident.
"What happened?" Mofan asked.
