Nanyu was a calm person, but her eyes were obviously brimming with joy.

They had not met one another since the World College Tournament, yet fate had brought them all to Tianshan Mountain.

The eight of them were almost the whole team!

The rest of the team were either incompatible with them or were in opposing factions. It would not be a coincidental gathering if they were here too…

“A powerful Mage must visit Tianshan Mountain at least once!” Ai Jiangtu sounded quite obsessed with Tianshan Mountain.

Many people were obsessed with Tianshan Mountain, but they were a little hesitant at first due to how mysterious and dangerous the place was. However, they felt more confident now that everyone was here.

“When are you guys heading out?” Zhao Manyan asked.

“If only you had come here earlier! The four of us have already joined a group of mercenaries. After all, we aren’t familiar with the weather, wind, terrain, distribution of demon creatures, and how we should react during an emergency. Just collecting information isn’t enough since we all lack experience,” Jiang Yu sighed.

“It’s not a bad idea to follow a group around.”

“Why don’t you all join the same group then? They are still looking for members. We’ll ask the leader to arrange for us to be on the same team. Following an experienced group will save us a lot of trouble,” Nanyu encouraged them.

Their cultivation did not really matter if the environment was terrible. What mattered was their experience and their ability to adapt to circumstances.

“It’s a long journey through the Rift Valley. It’s necessary for us to stick with a group,” Lingling said.

If they had not stumbled into Ai Jiangtu and the others, Lingling had also been planning that they join a bigger Hunter Group. Nanyu’s choice of a more disciplined and well-trained group of mercenaries was not a bad idea either!

“At least three thousand Mages have gone into the Rift Valley, but I bet only a few made it to the end. It doesn’t matter, since they can still obtain valuable resources along the way,” Guan Yu spoke up.

Guan Yu occasionally glanced at Mu Ningxue as he spoke, but he had noticed that Mu Ningxue was sitting very close to Mo Fan. Their skin was almost touching.

Only lovers would sit so close to one another!

Guan Yu knew his chance of building a relationship with Mu Ningxue was slim to nothing ever since Fanxue Mountain had been established, but he still felt uncomfortable when he saw Mo Fan and Mu Ningxue acting so intimately.

Mercenaries were similar to Hunters, but mercenaries were usually more organized, like actual military. Their members were usually fairly fixed.

Hunters were more casual and freewheeling. They were constantly on the move, chasing after quests with handsome rewards. Ai Jiangtu was used to the military, so he preferred to join a group of mercenaries instead of a Hunter Group.

A group of mercenaries would normally be considered elites among the Hunters. The mercenary group Ai Jiangtu had chosen was ranked in the top three in Asia. It had around a hundred and ten members, split into ten teams.

Mo Fan and his crew were assigned to the ninth team of the Mailong Private Military Company. It turned out that Ai Jiangtu was quite close to the Vice Leader of the mercenary group. Without that connection, it would be unusual for a mercenary group with fixed members to bring in so many strangers at once.
