As they made their way to the Helan Mountain Range, the terrain was obviously uphill. It was better if they were going from the west, as the terrain was flatter. The mountain was barren, and they barely saw any vegetation. Their feet were covered in rocks and sand.
With a gust of wind, a strand of dark brown silk floated into the dark blue night sky like a bridal veil, drifting towards the incomparably bright silver moon.
The terrain to the east was relatively steep. Mubai, who had been here before, suggested that they should go from the west, as they would not have to climb over the mountains and get lost in the deep ravines.
Walking along the mountain, one could occasionally see some herdsmen. They were raising a herd of red deer. Each of them was as strong as a male horse, but they had huge antlers, giving people a sense of might.
It was obvious that these herders were not ordinary Wranglers. Most of them were Magicians, and many of them had the Psychic Element.
Psychic Magicians were able to tame beasts, which were widely used in the military. The most famous beast tamer was the clan of Great Duke Irene of England. They were experts at taming dragons.
Horseback deer were faster than horses, and their antlers were natural weapons. For a long time, there had been a group of Magicians here, known as the Horseback Deer Riders. They rode the strong Horseback Deer and fought against the desolate beasts of the North Kingdom. Of course, they also had the Elemental Soldiers of the North Kingdom.
"Hey, kids, are you going up the mountain to look at the scenery? Running up the mountain in the middle of the night, you don't look like you're doing something serious, right?" A man with thick eyebrows and a beard rode over on a horseback deer and asked casually.
The man's red deer antlers were copper in color. They didn't look like antlers at all, but more like smelted copper. The red deer's entire body was covered in a copper luster, like an ancient bronze statue that had just been unearthed, but still looked majestic!
"We're from the Ancient Capital. We're here to inspect some old sites," Mofan said.
"Inspect what? Don't tell me you're here to rob …"
"Of course, we're looking for a group of people who moved here during the Qin and Han Dynasties. They once built an altar and a spring near the Helan Mountain Range. We need to find those," Mofan said straightforwardly.
"With the amount of rainfall we have, how can there be an underground spring? Even if there was one, it would have dried up. Speaking of which, if you want to go into the mountains, you have to be careful. The elemental soldiers are also looking for things. Us deer keepers have to give up our territory to them. "The man kindly reminded.
"Don't worry, bro. We are all very powerful. We don't care about small fries like elemental soldiers," Mofan said straightforwardly.
The man immediately gave Mofan a thumbs up and said, "It's been a long time since I've seen such a natural and unpretentious young man like you. Good luck!"
…
At this moment, Song Feiyao's tightly wrapped attire was actually very advantageous in this place. Mofan was completely relying on his thick skin to carry the sand, while Mubai was wearing a soft armor which protected his entire body very well. Clearly, he had experience in this place.
"I didn't go too far after going up the mountain. The elemental soldiers that the man mentioned before were fighting with a group of desolate beasts from the north. There were corpses everywhere," Mubai said.
Song Feiyao also took out a sketch drawn by the old granny and explained, "This sketch is only a rough sketch. After all, it's been too long. It's not easy to find the Geyser Spring accurately."
"That's not necessarily true. You can follow me," Mofan smiled.
This was a false confidence in Mubai's eyes.
Song Feiyao had inherited some of the ancient Geyser Spring. The Geyser Spring that they were guarding was more orthodox and larger than the one in Bo City. Now, the people of Bo City didn't even remember where the Geyser Spring came from. At least the people of Xiayu Island knew.
Mubai had been here before and found some clues about the Ancient Capital and the Dangerous Situation Tribe. However, due to the chaos of the war, she didn't go any further.
No matter what, Mofan was the one following them. Why did it seem like Mofan was the one leading the way?
Mofan didn't reveal anything, mainly because it wasn't convenient for him to do so.
Mofan had never revealed the secret of the Little Loach Pendant to anyone. It was most likely because the Little Loach Pendant's level had greatly increased. Now, whenever Mofan arrived at the Geyser Spring's area, the Little Loach Pendant would automatically guide Mofan.
This little guy, if it wasn't born as a pendant, it might have flown to the Geyser Spring of Helan Mountain Range on its own!
The Little Loach Pendant's guidance would never be wrong. They would surely arrive at the Geyser Spring if they followed it!
Mubai and Song Feiyao followed Mofan suspiciously. Before they knew it, they had arrived at a relatively higher area of Helan Mountain Range.
Although the mountain range here wasn't very big, there were all kinds of vertical breaks in the west, as if a mountain range had been split apart by some kind of divine power. The place where it was split apart was steep and straight. Numerous sand ditches and rocky valleys were distributed under the mountain range that was hundreds of meters, and even thousands of meters tall!
If a normal person fell down, they would be smashed into pieces.
Even if they were lucky enough to survive the fall, it would be difficult for them to find their way back. It was easy to get lost in the ditches.
"We have to go down," Mo Fan suddenly pointed at the mountain range to the west and said in a serious tone.
"Are you sure you don't want to look up there first?" Song Feiyao asked.
"Let's go down, it must be down there. It shouldn't be too far away from us," Mofan said.
"The guardians of the Geyser Spring either went into hiding during the war, or went into hiding. To prevent the people of that era from taking the Geyser Spring away, they might have hidden the Geyser Spring in the complicated ditches under the Helan Mountain Range," Mubai said.
"The wind is blowing hard down there. Even Master Gyrfalcon won't be able to see deeper," Song Feiyao said.
"Let Master Gyrfalcon look for food nearby. We'll go down there ourselves." Mo Fan raised his head and glanced at the sky. He noticed that the sky was covered in sand. The vast, brownish-yellow color made him feel a little lost.
"Don't worry, the terrain is very complicated. It's inconvenient to walk and climb. Wait for me here, I'll go and rent a few Red Goats and Red Deer from the herders. They know the directions, and they have outstanding stamina. They can help us find places that are inconvenient for us," Mubai said.
