1678 His Partner Must Be Very Impressive (2/2)
”As expected of a Seven Star Hunter Master, our group tried to find the reason behind their rapid reproduction, but we had no luck. However, you've found the reason so quickly!” Lu Zhuo quickly used the opportunity to flatter Mo Fan.
”Lu Zhuo, your group has seven members. Each of you will lead a group of Advanced Hunters. We will split into seven teams!” Mo Fan allocated the teams.
”Don't worry, my team is full of elites. We will find where the Great Salamander Demons are hiding. Don't you worry… however, the Great Salamander Demons are going to be tricky to deal with. You will have to be there in person,” Lu Zhuo said.
”Just report to me as soon as you locate them!” Mo Fan said.
”Will do, let's move out.”

The teams were soon assigned their jobs. Every member of the Pancheng Hunter Group would lead a group of Advanced Hunters to search the remote areas of the Thousand Islands Lake.
Gu Ying came up to Mo Fan and asked, ”Fan Mo, can...can you not let Li Yumei be our leader? She has only reached the Advanced Level recently. She can't even use an Advanced Spell. We are assigned to search a dangerous area, too. Our safety isn't guaranteed with her leading us!”
”Oh? I remember I only asked for Hunter Masters with at least two Elements in the Advanced Level!” Mo Fan looked at Yang Ning.
”A team might have abused their connections to bring her in. We don't really have a good way to prevent it from happening, but you can reduce the reward accordingly when the job is done,” Yang Ning said helplessly.
”The unreliable ones always bring the most trouble. Forget it, I don't mind as long as we can find the Great Salamander Demons. Let her be, I'm too lazy to deal with her,” Mo Fan said.
If he was to rebuke Lu Zhuo now, it might disrupt their plan. Mo Fan was willing to turn a blind eye to the freeloaders as long as they could finish their job.
”What about us?...” Gu Ying persisted.
”I will assign Li Yumei to another team. Your team must be very familiar with the Thousand Islands Lake if you can find the island surrounded by mountains. I'll let my Summoned Beast follow you!” Mo Fan said.
Mo Fan summoned the Flying Creek Snow Wolf.
It had been some time since the Flying Creek Snow Wolf had some exercise. Even though he was helping his lackeys expand their territory in the Summoned Beast Plane, he normally let the Moon-Devouring White Wolves handle the fights. He did not have to do the dirty jobs, as he was the leader of the pack.
”Old wolf, you will follow Gu Ying and protect her team. Do you understand?” Mo Fan said.
The Flying Creek Snow Wolf was unwilling. Why was he not Summoned for an intense fight? Why did he have to look after a bunch of people instead?
”Stop howling. You only know how to hook up with female wolves in your den. Do you seriously think you are a breeder? Aren't you worried about having weak kidneys? Do your job and stop complaining,” Mo Fan berated him mercilessly.
The Flying Creek Snow Wolf lost his noble bearing. He lowered his head and followed after Gu Ying.

The Flying Creek Snow Wolf left Minghu Outpost with the Foehn Hunter Squad. The members of the Foehn Hunter Squad noticed the Flying Creek Snow Wolf following behind them in low spirits when they reached the wild. He looked more like a sleepy aged dog instead of a guardian beast.
”Can we trust the wolf? I thought he would be following us himself. We can witness his strength as a Seven Star Hunter Master too, but he only sent his Summoned Beast. Is he looking down on us?” Big Nose grumbled.
”Big Nose, you should really keep your mouth shut. If it wasn't for you, we might be on the same team with a Seven Star Hunter Master now. You are only making it difficult,” Zhong Li rebuked him, displeased.
Zhong Li and Gu Ying were friendly toward Mo Fan, and had parted ways without any hard feelings. The quest was a great opportunity for them. Even if Mo Fan was an aloof person, he would still give them special treatment, considering they were once his teammates...
”Why am I to be blamed for it? Who would even think a young guy like him is a Seven Star Hunter Master? I wonder what his real strength is. There's no way I would believe he had earned the rank himself. I bet his partner must be very impressive!” Big Nose said.
”I think so too. His partner must be very impressive,” Xie Hao agreed.
