The day that Mo Xu and Yun Man set out was also the day when everyone from the west returned.

The night before departure, everyone in the West had a meal together. This time, Master Jiang did not come. Instead, they chose a restaurant outside and had Old Capital Hotpot.

"The capital is jokingly called a food desert, but this mutton hotpot with sesame sauce is really good, perfect for winter."

Everyone surrendered to the delicious food and ate it with relish. Zheng Qibing also picked up a drink and said, "Tomorrow is New Year's Day. This year has ended well. I hope that all of you will have a smooth journey in Chaofan next year."

Mo Xu clinked glasses and suddenly realized that today was December 12st, and the new calendar year would soon begin.

"In January, the new quarter's free exams began, followed by the Lunar New Year. Shortly after the Lantern Festival, it was time for the university league again." After drinking the whole bottle, Zheng Qibing couldn't help but sigh, the days passed one by one, and in the blink of an eye, a year had passed.

Time waits for no one. No matter if someone is nostalgic or looking forward to it, the days just flow on peacefully into a new day and a new year.

Mo Xu just felt that the new year brought new hope, and setting out to survey the graves on the first day of the new year was a good omen.

Yun Man fulfilled her promise and brought Jiang Pan with her to meet up at the airport and set off for Konghe City.

Konghe City is located in the northeasternmost part of the Capital Military Region. Beyond Konghe City, there are no other Chinese cities to the northeast. It is an important border town.

After a five-hour flight, they landed at the airport in Konghe City.

Compared to other cities, Konghe City is much smaller and the city is a bit rough and sloppy. Of course, the main urban area still looks like a modern city.

The border is the "front line", which represents danger and opportunity. Most of the people living here are locals or families of stationed troops. In addition, there are a large number of mobile adventurers, treasure hunting teams, and travelers.

"Is there no-man's land outside the front line?" Jiang Pan was very curious and yearning.

"Yes and no." Yun Man explained to him, "There is no strict distinction between the wilderness and the uninhabited area. The uninhabited area is actually the wilderness, but it is deeper and less populated. The area outside of Konghe City is not within the city's reach, and routine cleaning tasks will not reach those places. Therefore, it is of course much more dangerous than the wilderness in the heart of China."

"Then isn't the place we are going to also very dangerous?" Mo Xu also asked.

"Don't worry, it's not a very deep wilderness, and many explorers have been there. There are dangers, but as long as you don't cross the 'Empty River', I can protect you." Yun Man showed the confidence of a master.

After all, those who were able to build a city here and were above the king level would have long been eliminated by the masters stationed at the front line. The master is certainly confident that he can dominate the city.

Yun Man complained again: "Besides, the places where the five elements meet are not hard to find because there are few of them. On the contrary, there are too many of them. How can we find the emperor's tomb if we don't go out in the wild to find a high-level intersection of the five elements?"

"So that's how it is." Mo Xu thought so too. Any park might have all the five elements of gold, wood, water, fire and earth, but that couldn't be the emperor's tomb. The emperor's burial place must be in an extremely special place.

Yun Man had already arranged everything and said, "Let's go to the hotel first. I will borrow a sky-winged ray from the army later and go to the wild tomorrow morning."

When they first arrived in Konghe City, it was already afternoon and it was impossible to set off again. Everyone followed Yun Man to the hotel where they were staying, and then had a simple meal before dispersing to rest.

In the evening, Yun Man went to the military area, so Mo Xu and Jiang Pan had to take the monster to wander around Konghe City, and bought some drinks, drinking water, medicines, food, etc. according to Yun Man's instructions, in preparation for going out into the wild tomorrow.

"This Konghe City is indeed the southwestern border. The street stalls and night markets are different from other places."

Mo Xu and Jiang Pan were walking on the street. Street vendors and night markets were allowed in the city center, but most of the transactions were intelligence, maps, photos, etc. There were also some remains and samples to prove what rare creatures or natural treasures were in a certain place.

"A thousand-year-old extraordinary Ganoderma lucidum, located on a high cliff, the real thing."

"This is a place where flying energy gathers. After a week of hard training, you will definitely gain enlightenment through flying."

"There are traces of Phoenix bloodline, suspected to be above the king race."

On one street, vendors were setting up stalls from the beginning to the end, and the sounds of hawking were endless. The news made Mo Xu's eyelids twitch. It was so shocking that it was hard to tell whether it was true or not.

"Let's go and take a look." Jiang Pan was very interested and pulled Mo Xu to visit some street stalls.

"Look, young men." Seeing Mo Xu and Jiang Pan coming over, a stall owner immediately picked up a photo and greeted them, "Please look, this is a thousand-year-old wild Ganoderma lucidum. It's on a cliff. You can get it by climbing up."

In the photo, there is indeed a Ganoderma lucidum growing on the cliff. Its size cannot be seen without any reference, but from the photo, it looks plump and big, and looks great.

"Thousand-year-old wild Ganoderma lucidum is as rare as epic materials." Jiang Pan exclaimed.

"Bullshit, how is that possible? This cliff looks high, but it's not impossible to fly. If it were true, it would have been taken down long ago." Mo Xu was skeptical.

"Hey, listen to me, this is the cliff in the 'Empty River'." The stall owner said the secret: "This place is quite remote, it only takes 500 contribution points, I can lead the way, and even provide a road to the mountain."

"Empty River? What is this place?" Mo Xu frowned, as if Yun Man had mentioned it before. At first he thought it was a big river that separated the place, but the stall owner said there were cliffs in the river, which was quite strange.

"You don't even know?" The stall owner was also stunned. Among those who came to Konghe City to look for opportunities, there were actually people who didn't know Konghe. This was too casual.

Mo Xu and Jiang Pan only found out about the place they were going to visit last night. They didn't look up any information and just followed the leader.

"Would you like to tell me about it?"

This news is not a secret. There is a lot of information circulating on the Internet, and the stall owner introduced it to them for free: "Konghe, of course, is a river in the sky..."

"River in the sky?" Mo Xu subconsciously glanced at the night sky, and saw the Milky Way hanging high in the sky.

"That's right. Konghe is about 200 kilometers northeast of Konghe City. Many strong men died here when the city was built and the land was reclaimed. It is a well-known place in the outdoor exploration circle and is known as a quasi-forbidden area."

"Quasi-forbidden area!" Upon hearing this, Mo Xu and Jiang Pan looked at each other and saw the shock in their eyes.

The forbidden areas were all well-known dangerous places in the no-man's land. Not to mention the masters, even the records of the venerables dying were not uncommon.

The stall owner continued, "However, this forbidden area is not the same as that forbidden area. The danger of the empty river is much less. As long as you don't fly inside, the monsters that appear inside are not of high level."

"If you insist on flying, then it's hard to say, even a master will die!"
