They would need a guide if they were heading to Beijiang.
Both Zhang Xiaohou and Mubai had set off from the Ancient Capital. They had traveled westward to Xinjiang, and had also traveled northwest. They had spent a long time wandering around the border of Beijiang.
Both of them had traveled to the northwest of the Ancient Capital for a long time!
Both of them happened to be in the same place.
Mofan initially thought Mubai would stay at Fanxue Mountain. After all, he had a lot of work to do after making a name for himself in Fanxue Mountain. However, when he heard they were looking for a Sacred Totem Beast, he immediately flew to the Ancient Capital to meet up with Mofan and the others.
Zhang Xiaohou arrived on the second day.
Mofan reported his schedule to Shao Zheng. Shao Zheng was overjoyed. He immediately reported it to Commander Hua.
Commander Hua was a lot happier when he learned Mofan was not staying on the east coast. He purposely transferred Zhang Xiaohou, who was stationed in Dalian, back to the Ancient Capital. Zhang Xiaohou was assigned to the Violet Imperial Battalion as their Great Commander.
Shao Zheng and Commander Hua knew that if Mofan could find a Sacred Totem Beast that was still alive, it would surely change the situation on the east coast. It was extremely important to the country!
While waiting for Zhang Xiaohou's arrival, Mofan began to ask Song Feiyao about the Geyser Spring.
Mubai was shocked when he learned Xiayu was protecting the Geyser Spring.
"As a matter of fact, I did find some information about the Geyser Spring when I was traveling to the northwest on my own. However, I wasn't strong enough back then. There were some places I couldn't even visit on my own," Mubai said.
"Did you go looking for the Geyser Spring on your own after the Calamity of the Ancient Capital?" Mofan asked.
"Not really. It's mainly because I was very confused at the time. I found some information about a spring that was similar to the one in Bo City. I wasn't sure if it was the Geyser Spring, and I didn't know what it meant. I just decided to search for it without any purpose. At that time, I walked all the way to Helan Mountain … "Mubai recounted his experience after leaving the Ancient Capital.
"If it's the Helan Mountains, then we should be looking for the same target," Song Feiyao said.
In Helan Mountain!
The other Geyser Spring was located near Mount Helan. It was considered a high-altitude area and was quite a distance away from the Ancient Capital. Mubai had hiked all the way to Mount Helan alone. He could be considered a hardcore backpacker!
"The information I received was fragmented. I don't think it's as accurate as what she said. I did ask around, but unfortunately, there was a Desolate Beast Calamity in Mount Helan at the time. It destroyed many of the clues," Mubai recalled.
"Why didn't you say so earlier? It's the Geyser Spring!" Mofan was speechless. It turned out that Mubai already knew about the other Geyser Spring.
"I didn't know it was the Geyser Spring, either. She didn't mention Mount Helan, and you didn't mention the Geyser Spring. How could I possibly connect the two places together?" Mubai raised his brows, as if to say, 'How can you blame me for this?'
"Let's put the Geyser Spring aside for now. Didn't we say we were going to look for the Sacred Totem?" Jiang Shaoxu interrupted them when he saw that they were still discussing the Geyser Spring.
Ling Ling was sitting on a stone stool. She was wearing a checkered school dress. Her favorite laptop was placed on her lap.
Her eyes did not leave the screen. She said to Jiang Shaoxu, "It's very interesting. If we're looking for the Sacred Totem, we'll have to go to Jiangnan. Some hunters from Ningxia have discovered the ruins of the Yellow River Ancient Road … so we'll have to go to Ningxia to look for the Geyser Spring and the Sacred Totem."
Mofan immediately went to Ling Ling's side and looked at the simplified route she had taken.
Both the Mount Helan and the ruins of the Yellow River were not too far away. They would be able to save a lot of time.
Mo Fan was overjoyed when he saw the simplified map. It seemed like the Heavens were taking care of him, saving him a lot of time at such a crucial time. He did not have to travel all over the place.
"Why don't we split up when we reach Ningxia? One of us will look for the Geyser Spring, while the other will look for the ruins of the Sacred Totem?" Jiang Shaoxu suggested.
"Sure, it'll be more efficient that way. We'll set off as soon as Zhang Xiaohou arrives!"
…
The journey was a lot easier with a godly beast like the Gyrfalcon God around. It could fly at a very high altitude, and would not clash with the territories of the demon beasts along the way.
Even if there were some demon beasts that did not know their place, they would not fight to the death with the Gyrfalcon God's Totem Beasts!
On their way to Ningxia, the scenery they saw along the way was brown. The desolate yellow soil was covered by pure white clouds, huge ravines, long canyons, and rolling mountain ranges. There was the silence of the night, and the magnificence of the sunset. Mofan suddenly understood how Mubai felt when he was traveling alone in this unique world.
He was lost, but he was also intoxicated.
…
As they arrived at Yinchuan, a cold aura immediately swept toward them. It was nighttime, and the temperature had dropped rapidly. The difference in temperature was so huge that it made them wonder if the boundary between day and night was actually the transition between winter and summer.
"The temperature here has always been like this. It doesn't seem to be affected by the cold wave in the South," Mubai said.
"It's a pity that it's a problem with the rain and soil. Otherwise, we could build a huge headquarter city here to accommodate more people," Zhang Xiaohou let out a sigh.
The reason why the East was still resisting was because it had a lot of resources, a lot of rain, and a balanced climate. It was not that the humans could not adapt to different climates, but the Yellow Plateau was unable to grow enough food and fruits with the huge population.
The Yellow River had nurtured countless generations of people, yet it was unable to feed tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions of people.
Besides, the journey was full of demon beasts. Many starving demon beasts were waiting for the humans to show up. Compared to the demon beasts, the humans were still too weak. Only the Mages among the humans could pose a threat to the demon beasts.
There were too many problems along the way. Many people were willing to fight to the death, as they had no choice but to fight to the death.
"We won't rest, let's set off straight away. Moving at night won't affect us too much," Mofan said to the group.
"Alright," Zhang Xiaohou nodded.
Zhang Xiaohou and Zhao Manyan brought Ling Ling and Jiang Shaoxu to the Yellow River Ruins. It gave Ling Ling and Jiang Shaoxu some time to inspect the place.
Mofan, Mubai, and Song Feiyao went to look for the Geyser Spring.
