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.”

Mo Fan was glad he could just follow the party, knowing how bad he was with directions. The terrain of the Thousand Islands Lake was rather complicated. Mo Fan was seriously worried that he would not be able to find his way back on his own.

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.

“That’s brilliant, how did you find such a place with the perfect terrain?” the Ice Mage in the party, Xie Hao, asked.

“It’s all thanks to me. I was chased by a Brutish Water Mammoth once. I happened to see a part of the lake surrounded by mountains when I had nowhere left to run to. I thought I was dead for sure, but it turned out to be the perfect hiding spot. I only survived because the Brutish Water Mammoth eventually stopped chasing me. I noticed that the island surrounded by hills with only a narrow crack for its entrance was perfect for our plan to control the numbers of demon creatures we fight at a time,” Zhong Li said proudly.

“Isn’t the Brutish Water Mammoth an extremely dangerous species? You’re lucky to be alive!”

“Yeah, I also think it’s my lucky place, so I believe we can earn a fortune using it!” Zhong Li agreed excitedly.

Mo Fan agreed that the Valley Lake Island was perfect for battle.

The mountains were surrounding a submerged valley with a narrow ravine leading to the spacious lake. The crack had tall mountain walls on both sides, so the demon creatures were unlikely to fly over them or flank them from the sides. An Earth Mage could easily block off the entrance too, providing them with a safe and enclosed environment to fight the creatures that were lured into the pass.

It turned out that this Hunter Group did have a plan in mind. They were actually using their brains! Mo Fan had a whole new level of respect for them.

“I’ll lure the Salamander Demons here, get ready for battle!” Zhong Li said.

Zhong Li’s Primary Element was Wind, and his Secondary Element was Water, so he was playing an important role in the party. He was the only member that could run away safely after provoking the Salamander Demons. The rest of the party would easily be overrun by them.

“I’ll block the entrance!” the middle-aged Earth Mage promised.

“Alright, be careful,” Gu Ying said.

Mo Fan was planning to inspect the terrain of the Thousand Islands Lake and evaluate the strength of the Salamander Demons, but he could not evaluate how strong the demon creatures were with his own strength. After all, his spells could easily penetrate their defenses, no matter how sturdy their shells were.

However, it was not practical for him to keep blasting the Thousand Islands Lake with his spells. Even a Super Mage would have a hard time eliminating these creatures, so it was unlikely that an Advanced Mage like him could resolve the problem on his own. He had to figure out the true weaknesses of the Salamander Demons with the help of these Intermediate Mages, and use the right approach to take them out!

Mo Fan was also interested to see how these Hunters were planning to fight the Salamander Demons. He was curious if the Salamander Demons were truly as terrifying as Lingling had mentioned!

“Don’t you think you’re lucky for being able to fight alongside Intermediate Mages like us?” Xie Hao, asked, glancing at Mo Fan.

“I do, I still have much to learn!” Mo Fan nodded.

“We used to be Basic Mages too. We know how difficult it is to fight real demon creatures with only a single Element and a single spell. It’s very easy for you to die, even if you have the Lightning Element. A piece of advice; you should stay in the safe zone until you’ve reached the Intermediate Level!” Xie Hao warned him in a friendly manner.
