There were nine people from the Violet Imperial Battalion, led by Major General Li Dexin. He was arrogantly leading the way, riding his Great Lesser Earth Dragon.

“You guys… don’t seem to be from the army, right?” the advising officer asked with a smile, glancing at Mo Fan, Zhao Manyan, Yu Shishi, and the others.

“We are from Fanxue Mountain,” Bai Hongfei stated calmly.

“Fanxue Mountain?” Li Dexin turned around and sniffed disdainfully, “Never heard of it!”

“It’s normal for ignorant people not to hear of many places or things,” Yu Shishi mocked him instantly.

Yu Shishi already treated Fanxue Mountain as her home, and would not allow anyone to look down on it. Besides, Li Dexin was simply too full of himself. Even Yu Shishi had the urge to drag him down from his pet dragon and beat the crap out of him!

“It’s my first time hearing anyone dare to describe the Violet Imperial Battalion as ignorant!” a woman with a long ponytail in the group spoke up.

The woman had thick hair, its volume quite sizable when it was tied up. The straight hair nearly reached her waist, and the black belt there perfectly set off her alluring curves. The woman was clearly responding to Yu Shishi. She was confident and proud of the Violet Imperial Battalion!

“The Qinling Mountains are just ahead. The path is steep, so be more careful,” Zhang Xiaohou reminded everyone, conveniently distracting them from the argument.

Mo Fan was not too familiar with the Central Plains, so he was not familiar with the Violet Imperial Battalion, either. He purposely slowed down and asked Zhang Xiaohou about it.

“Do you know the Imperial Mages of the Ancient Capital?” Zhang Xiaohou asked him back.

“I do. Are they related?” Mo Fan replied quickly.

“A little. The most talented Mages in the Ancient Capital are recruited by the Imperial Mages, an utmost glory for them, similar to being chosen to become Royal Guards. Meanwhile, among the platoons in the Central Plain, there is a special division that usually handles difficult missions and operations. Every year, each division will recommend a few talents to the Violet Imperial Battalion. Think of them as special operators,” Zhang Xiaohou said.

“I see! No wonder they are so proud of themselves!” Mo Fan said.

“Damn, that chick, I won’t let any of you steal her from me. She’s mine, tsk tsk tsk, look at her flexible waist and her long legs. Man, imagine her curling those legs around me!” Zhao Manyan blurted out excitedly.

Zhao Manyan’s eyes had never left the woman who was arguing with Yu Shishi. He found the imposing bearing of her military training the most appealing!

“I can tell that you can’t wait to beg her to whip you and step on you with her heels, right?” Mo Fan needled him.

“That doesn’t sound too bad, now that you mentioned it. With her face and posture? I wouldn’t mind having some fun with her!” Zhao Manyan declared.

“Brother Zhao is still a thrill-seeker! The women from the Violet Imperial Battalion are pretty tough to handle,” Zhang Xiaohou laughed.

“Drinking the strongest booze and riding the toughest chick, I have no regrets!” Zhao Manyan proclaimed.

Zhao Manyan was not too excited about the trip, but it all changed after the Violet Imperial Battalion began tagging along. He was psyched as long as there were women around, no matter the circumstances!

The paths leading to the Qinling Mountains were rather steep. The only way forward was across narrow bridges dangling in the air, even though they had not ventured too deep into the mountains. On one side were the magnificent walls of the mountains, and on the other were steep cliffs above deep valleys. The wind was constantly howling. A little loli like Lingling could easily be blown off the cliff at any second.

Mo Fan purposely Summoned the Flying Creek Snow Wolf and let Lingling ride him, as he was concerned about Lingling’s stamina.

Li Dexin grinned not long after Mo Fan Summoned the Flying Creek Snow Wolf. He said, “I didn’t know you were a Summoner too!”

“Yeah,” Mo Fan nodded.

“But the Commander-level is likely to be your wolf’s limit, right?” Li Dexin said.

“Mm, it’s very difficult for him to evolve into a Ruler-level creature. I’ll need a lot of resources for that,” Mo Fan admitted.

“Resources? How naive are you? Don’t you know how important the lineage of Summoned Beasts is? You have forcibly evolved the wolf to its current level. If you insist on continuing, it will still be a lot weaker than creatures with outstanding lineages, even if it reaches the Ruler-level! In comparison, even though my Great Lesser Earth Dragon is only a lesser Ruler-level creature now, it can easily take on a Ruler-level creature with its dragon flesh and dragon breath!” Li Dexin declared proudly.

“A Lesser Dragon does have some extraordinary capabilities, but I’m already used to having my wolf around, so I will help him achieve the higher levels if possible,” Mo Fan replied blandly.

“A wolf will always be a wolf. It’s incomparable to a dragon. You will understand once you reach the higher levels. A wolf like that will only end up as a transportation tool,” Li Dexin stated firmly.

Mo Fan merely put on a ‘screw you’ smile. He did not bother arguing with the man any further.

Li Dexin too was lazy to chat with a stubborn fool like Mo Fan. He continued to lead the way in front of the group.

They suddenly heard shrieks coming from the tall cliffs. It was difficult to locate their source, as they were echoing off the mountainsides.

Mo Fan lifted his gaze to locate the creatures uttering the cries, but there were many spots along the walls, trees, and rocks where the creatures might be hiding. It was tricky to tell where the creatures were!

“It’s the Winged Patrol Beasts. You can hear their cries almost everywhere in the Qinling Mountains!” Zhang Xiaohou informed them.

“Did they notice us? I was told that these Winged Patrol Beasts are very annoying to deal with! They will immediately gather a large group of Winged Patrol Beasts to them whenever they notice any intruders. They won’t attack right away, but will roam in the surroundings until they are confident their numbers are enough to crush the intruders and feast on them!” The female officer, Ling Fei, lifted her head, revealing her slender neck.
