With the support of the Wind Element metal shell, the military aircraft moved faster than an airliner.
Lingling spent most of her time sleeping on the long flight.
She had traveled from Ding City to the Imperial Capital early in the morning. She then flew to the land of Africa before she even had time to visit the people whom her older sister, Leng Qing, had asked her to.
When they arrived in Egypt, the sun was scorching. The temperature inside the aircraft rose.
Several troops left early during the journey. They were assigned and stationed in the cities in Egypt. There were not many military personnel assigned to Egypt’s cities. The people had to frequently meet the Undead to gain an understanding of their habits.
Magic City was desolate. The people from the Magic City had migrated to Ding City and Ancient Capital.
The number of the people in Ancient Capital increased by leaps and bounds. The wandering Undead in Ancient Capital had some conflicts and small-scale wars with humans. Hence, Egypt often assigned its troops to assist the Ancient Capital and the surrounding cities to build up trenches. The Ancient Capital, in turn, assigned its people to help stand guard over the cities in Egypt during critical times.
“Everyone, please get off the aircraft now. We’ve arrived at the Orange Sand Town,” the military officer said loudly.
The hatch was opened in midair. A strong wind blew into the aircraft. The military officer stretched out his hand and created a thin wall of air. He blocked the strong breeze from blowing in.
“Are we going to jump down from here?” asked Jiang Bingming. His eyes were wide with shock.
“We still have other areas to reach. Wish you all the best. Regardless of whether you succeed or fail, the attempt on your part is equally admirable,” said the military officer.
“Thank you. Let’s go now!” said Professor Tong Zhouzheng.
The rest of the members followed him. After they passed through the thin wall of air and saw the land from thousands of meters up high, they gulped in fear.
Some of them did not know how to fly.
“Wind Lotus!
Professor Tong Zhouzheng raised his hand. The next moment, a cyclone that resembled a lotus appeared under Guan Yao’s feet. The cyclone carried her out of the rear hatch and into the clouds.
Professor Tong Zhouzheng was proud. He did not even bother to explain. He raised his hand again and sent the senior with the bodybuilder physique into the clouds again.
“Sir, do you have a parachute bag? I’m not used to this… Professor, n-no!” Before Jiang Bingming finished his words, the powerful cyclone under his feet took him away from the aircraft.
The rest of the members left the aircraft with the Wind Lotus. Jiang Bingming had a fear of heights. Despite the howling of the strong wind, they heard his miserable screams.
The military officer saluted them before the cabin door gradually closed.
The orange sand was so hot that the people dared not touch it with their skin. Most of the members landed smoothly in the middle of the orange sand. They felt the heat as soon as they landed on the sand.
Jiang Bingming crash-landed on the orange sand. He was buried under the gravel. If not for the heat of the sand, he would have passed out on the spot. When the heat of the sand scorched him, he jumped up and quickly brushed the sand off. His scowling face and jumpy behavior made him look like a street dancer!
“Senior, why didn’t you tell us about your fear of heights before boarding the aircraft?” Lingling said with a laugh. She was amused by Jiang Bingmings
comical reaction.
“I didn’t know we were going to jump down from the aircraft halfway through the journey. I didn’t even dare to look at the screen when my player did the skydive in PlayerUnknown’s Battleground! said Jiang Bingming wryly.
“Let’s go. Orange Sand Town is not far from us. The rest of the hunter teams must have arrived,” said Tong Zhouzheng.
The journey from China to Egypt was further compared to other countries.
Orange Sand Town was a simple place. The houses were made up of soil and stones. The buildings were not more than four stories high, and there were only a few streets. Apparently, it was a temporary gathering place for the international Hunter Union.
The town was crowded. Although it was a small and simple place, people flocked around it as though it was a marketplace. It seemed like the hunters were not the only ones who received the news, the merchants who frequently traveled around seemed to have learned of the gathering too. Hence, they flocked here to do business. They set up their stalls in the town and sold various magic apparatus and herbs.
“Sir, we didn’t know that we would be coming to Egypt to fight against the Undead, so we didn’t prepare a sufficient supply of herbs. Shall I go and buy some?” asked Guan Yao.
“Alright. Take the female members along with you. I will leave and replenish supplies as well,” said Tong Zhouzheng.
“Okay.”
“Buy some good quality Protective Scrolls and distribute them to the students.” A thought sprang up in Tong Zhouzhengs mind at the last minute, and he instructed Guan Yao.
“Professor, they are not cheap.” Guan Yao blinked.
Professor Tong Zhouzheng took out a card. “Only buy the good quality ones. It’s best if the scrolls are sourced from the Light Element Magic. You can also buy some good quality shields or armored magical equipment.”
“Professor, that’s very generous of you. Juniors, you have a great harvest this time,” said Guan Yao.
Tong Zhouzheng hurried to the building which had a golden tent in its courtyard. The next moment, he seemed to have recalled something and returned to the students.
He took off the white, amber necklace hanging around his neck and passed it to Guan Yao.
Guan Yao’s eyes lit up. She was aware that the necklace was Professor Tong Zhouzhengs supernatural guardian magic weapon. The necklace had once saved him from a ruler-level creature’s fatal attack.
Professor Tong Zhouzheng usually looked aloof. But when it came to an emergency, Guan Yao thought he actually cared for her. After all, they were in Egypt and accidents could happen to anyone at any time.
“Pass it to the dean’s niece.” He left.
Guan Yao was stunned. The delight she had felt faded into disappointment.
Lingling bought a lot of magic equipment. Her hands were sore as she carried them. She wondered why Guan Yao made her carry the heavy stuff.
At night, the town was lively. More hunters gathered in the place. The weather in Cairo turned freezing at night. Still, the merchants continued with their business without a hint of fatigue and discomfort.
Leng Lingling took a bath and applied moisturizer and serum to her skin. Her skin was so dry that it almost cracked the last time she was in Egypt. This time, she had prepared well for a trip to Egypt. She could not rely on magic alone to protect her beauty.
Dong! Dong! Dong!
She heard a strange sound outside the bathroom partition.
Lingling was alert. She wielded a magic vine thorn. If she caught the peeping Tom, she was determined to turn him blind.
“What a coincidence! Are you taking a shower too?” A lewd voice rose from behind her.
Lingling trembled. By the time she recovered her senses, she was so annoyed that her cheeks turned red. She turned around and kicked the person.
“Jerk! ‘I Lingling said gruffly.
“I watched you grow up. What’s the big deal?” The person was calm. Still, he stared at Lingling, who was wrapped in a bath towel. Despite his composed appearance, his brightly lit eyes had betrayed him.
“How do you know I was here?” asked Lingling in a huff.
“I’m the all-knowing magic god. Of course, I know where the world’s most beautiful, smartest, and invincible babe is. We have been partners for many years,” said MO Fan with a smile.
“Do you have anything to do with the sudden change of situation in Egypt? Last time, you mentioned that you want to settle accounts with Khufu…” said Lingling.
“We’ve been set up. After we sealed Khufu in his coffin, an Egyptian general did something to it, then trapped me and six other members from the Forbidden Curse Association inside the pyramid,” said MO Fan.
“You are trapped inside the pyramid, huh? Then, who am I talking to?” Lingling asked in surprise.
“It’s my shadow,” said MO Fan.
He twisted his body and turned into a cloud of smoke. The smoke was as bright as a black flame, and the smoke swayed…
Lingling touched him, only to find that the person before her was not a living human. For a moment, she was disappointed.
“Don’t worry, we’re not in any danger. But Khufu colluded with one of us and trapped the Forbidden Mages in different areas inside the pyramid,” said MO Fan.
“No wonder everyone here is so nervous as if a great battle is imminent. It turns out that the Forbidden Mages are trapped,” said Lingling.
“Ahem… Khufu is very cunning. It knows our actions like the back of its hand.
Lingling, you came just in time… Since we are trapped, Khufu and its colluders
will carry out a large-scale attack against Egypt. You must help find the head
of the colluder as soon as possible.”
“Are you aware that the Hunter Tournament is involved in this sudden change of situation?” asked Lingling.
“We have a Forbidden Hunter in our team. He could be the one who initiated the rescue assistance to the World Federation of United Nations headquarters before he was trapped,” said MO Fan.
Lingling nodded.
The theme for the world’s Hunter Tournament would most likely relate to the “missing” Forbidden Mages.
“Do you have any more clues?” asked Lingling.
“Then, it’s quite difficult to find the person who colluded with Khufu. l ‘
“Difficult for others, maybe. But Lingling, you’re different from them because you’re the gorgeous young lady who found the Chinese national beast, the great Azure Dragon.” MO Fan tried to curry favor without shame.
Lingling snorted.
“I’m just a college freshman. What can you expect me to do when even the Forbidden Mages failed the mission? But I’ll do everything I can,” said Lingling.
She came to participate in the Hunter Tournament. However, she only ended up helping MO Fan find the traitor who colluded with Khufu.
The person who had been highly regarded by Khufu was probably someone with high authority. Besides, the person must have kept his identity well hidden. Lingling was not given any clues, how was she supposed to figure out who the traitor was?!
“My shadow is about to vanish. Give me a quick hug now,” said MO Fan.
“Scum!” said Lingling.
“Girl, mind your words! How can you say that to me?!” MO Fan flew into a rage of humiliation inside Khufu’s pyramid..
