Versatile Mage: Soul and Demon Dual Cultivation

“What do you mean? Just a verbal thank you?” Lingling said, puffing out her cheeks.

Lin Chen said, “Then what do you want?”

Lingling said, “I want to go too. I worked so hard to find this information. Don't even think about ditching me!”

Lin Chen raised an eyebrow slightly and said, “That won't do. It's too dangerous there. You can't go. What if something happens?”

“I don't care. You just have to protect me!” Lingling said.

“No way, absolutely not!” Lin Chen's attitude was very firm.

Hearing this, Lingling first snorted coldly. After pondering for a moment, she began to act coquettish, saying, “Brother Lin, please take me with you? With me around, you won't have to rack your brains. Look at how great this is. You couldn't find a better deal even with a lantern. Please? Brother…”

Lin Chen laughed and said, “You little loli, you're actually using a beauty trap on me. What are you thinking?”

“You… I don't care, you have to take me!” Hearing this, Lingling stopped pretending and started acting unreasonable.

Lin Chen said helplessly, “Alright, I won't tease you anymore. I was planning on taking you all along!”

“Hmph, that's more like it!” Lingling said.

“Alright, you contact Mo Fan. I promised Mo Fan to go together. You guys see what preparations need to be made!” Lin Chen said.

“Okay, then I won't talk anymore!”

“Beep beep beep…”

Lin Chen was stunned and muttered to himself, “Hey, she hung up so fast. I knew I should have teased her a little longer!”

In the following days, Lingling began to make preparations. She was very enthusiastic about this trip!

With Lingling's presence, Lin Chen was indeed very relaxed. He didn't need to worry about anything. He just had to wait for Lingling's arrangements!

Lin Chen spent his days accompanying Mu Ningxue and occasionally going on dates with Little Cotton Sheep.

On this day, Lingling finally arranged everything and agreed to meet the next day.

Lin Chen immediately called Tang Yue over. As for Tang Zhong, Lin Chen could only temporarily entrust him with taking care of the place. Fortunately, they had hired a nanny, and with Tang Zhong's care, Lin Chen and Tang Yue were very relieved.

When they met the next day, Lin Chen saw that he knew almost everyone there: Mo Fan, Ye Xin Xia, Lingling, Zhang Xiaohou, and Zhao Manyan. There was only one girl Lin Chen had never seen before. She was Zhao Manyan's cousin—Chen Ying.

What Lin Chen didn't expect was that Mo Fan was so dedicated to his contracted beast that he even brought Ye Xin Xia along!

However, with Ye Xin Xia around, Lin Chen could hide his Mind Element. Even though he now had some strength, his personality had not changed. He always wanted to hide himself and be a behind-the-scenes manipulator.

As for Zhang Xiaohou, he was also Lin Chen's classmate. Since their separation in Bo City, they had never seen each other again. Zhang Xiaohou joined the Guardian like in the original story. It seemed that the events in Bo City had hit him hard!

There were a total of eight people in their group. According to Lingling's previous instructions, everyone had prepared their own equipment. This trip to Dunhuang felt like a spring outing, with everyone chatting and full of passion along the way!

After arriving in Dunhuang, Lin Chen immediately felt the special charm of this yellow land, which could open one's mind.

Looking out, the vast yellow sand stretched to the horizon. The mounds of earth in the yellow sand were slightly brownish, layered on top of each other, some high and some low.

The group bought local desert-cruising wind camels. Except for Lingling, everyone else was a mage, but not everyone had the ability to teleport. After getting on the wind camels, they gradually approached the famous Scorching Plains!

The distance was not too far, but the distribution of demons suddenly became dense after crossing a fault line in the earth for some reason.

The locals called this fault line the Boundary Marker Line. The deeper one went beyond the Boundary Marker Line, the more crises awaited them.

There were many creatures inhabiting the desert and Gobi. The rich Earth and Fire elements caused a large number of Elemental Demons to appear here. In addition, the local tyrant, the Sand Tiger Demon Clan, was distributed everywhere. Ordinary hunter teams had to be highly vigilant after crossing the Boundary Marker Line!!!

Along the way, Lin Chen remained vigilant, releasing his mental power. There were so many types of demons in the world of mages. Outside the safe zone, no one knew what kind of demon they would encounter next.

Fortunately, the group was lucky. After walking for a day, there were no major accidents!

The group successfully arrived at the area where the Sand River was located.

The Sand River was a plateau stream that had dried up for who knows how many years. After years of wind erosion, the entire riverbed had become extremely wide. Even on the map, the Sand River looked like a colored dragon lying on the land of Dunhuang. Its length was about to cross half of Gansu, and its narrowest point was probably more than ten kilometers!

This long Sand River was filled with a terrifying creature, the White Sand Demon Soldiers. Standing on the raised Gobi land and looking forward, it was a sunken, dry land.

Calling it a river, it looked more like a sea to everyone, slowly sinking down along the continental shelf. It was filled with fine white sand, with varying thicknesses, rising and falling. From a distance, it looked more like a white ocean that was rippling.

Zhang Xiaohou raised the question in his mind. The Sand River in front of him didn't seem to have any demons at all. Mo Fan and the others had the same question.

Lingling immediately conducted an experiment. She took out the internal organs of a demon from her bag and had Zhang Xiaohou throw them into the distance!

Instantly, layers of sand waves suddenly exploded in that calm white sand.

One by one, semi-giant creatures with sand-transformed long knives, standing three meters tall, stood up from the sand waves. They neatly surrounded the demon's internal organs that emitted a bloody smell, and after observing vigilantly, they quickly turned into grains of fine white sand and scattered into the Sand River.

Lin Chen smiled slightly. This Sand River was indeed terrifying in the eyes of ordinary people. The White Sand Demon Soldiers inside were all Commander-level creatures. Except for Lingling, anyone in the team could deal with Commander-level creatures well, but the terrifying thing was that there were countless White Sand Demon Soldiers in this Sand River!

But no matter how many White Sand Demon Soldiers there were, they couldn't do anything to Lin Chen. Lin Chen had multiple methods to deal with them. The Mind Element and Ice Element could deal with the current environment. In addition, Lin Chen could fly!!!

The group decided to rest by the Sand River for a day. They had been traveling for a whole day. Lin Chen didn't express any further opinions. Since they had chosen to team up, they had to listen to everyone's opinions.

Early the next morning, just as everyone was preparing to set off, Lin Chen took out several huge nets!

“How about I fly you guys over?” Lin Chen suggested!
