1670 Perfect Terrain (1/2)

Mo Fan soon became an official member of the Foehn Hunter Squad after paying the deposit.

Not every Hunter had a fixed group. It was impossible for every member in a group to always be on good terms with one another, nor was it possible for a group to not suffer any deaths. Normally, the death of a member would eventually lead to the party's disbanding.

Therefore, it was common for Hunters to form a party at the last moment for a specific quest. Taking the difficulty of the quest and the safety of the Hunters into consideration, the Hunter Union would set level requirements and the number of members of a party for different quests. The party had to meet the requirements before they were allowed to take on the quests.

In the past, many Hunters had taken on quests beyond their capabilities. Some of the quests were only available to a single party, meaning that other parties could not pursue those quests after they were taken. As a result, not only were many Hunters killed because they were too weak, it also delayed the completion of the quests and wasted their employer's time and opportunities.

The Foehn Hunter Squad had failed to meet the requirements because it was short of a member.

The deposit that Mo Fan paid was just a simple constraint for members that had joined the party temporarily. It was necessary to prevent a new member from leaving the party for no reason, or running away on their own when the party was in danger. The leader had the right to keep the deposit if either situation happened.

The young man was called Zhong Li. He was the Wind Mage in the party.

He was surprised to find the party leader was a woman. Her fair skin was smooth and tender. She was in her late twenties, mature and beautiful.

Mo Fan had seen women leading Hunter Groups, but most of them were the tough and capable kind. It was rare to see a woman that kept flirting and teasing her members.

”Little boy, you better look after yourself. I won't be able to keep an eye on you all the time. It will be a pity if your handsome face is ruined and covered in blood,” the leader, Gu Ying, told him with a smile.

Mo Fan listened to Gu Ying's teasing with a serious face. He lowered his head and looked at his crotch, ”Leader is talking to you, did you hear her?”

Gu Ying did not react at first. She was wondering why the young man was talking to himself like a retard. She finally realized something when she noticed where Mo Fan was looking and recalled what she had said to him. She rolled her eyes at Mo Fan alluringly and giggled, ”You're an interesting guy.”

The group of seven left the outpost. They traveled across the swampy areas along the lake for two hours.

”The Valley Lake Island is ahead. The island is almost entirely surrounded by mountains, apart from a narrow crack connected to the Thousand Islands Lake. We all know that the Salamander Demons stay in packs, and they usually travel in groups of dozens. It's difficult for even a strong party to face a few dozen Salamander Demons at once, so we must abuse the terrain of the Valley Lake Island. Since the island is surrounded by mountains, we'll send someone to lure the Salamander Demons to the crack and only let two or three of them enter at a time by blocking the crack. That way, we won't have any trouble killing the Salamander Demons,” Gu Ying pointed at an island in the distance.
