Lu Jun’s arrival, along with the appearance of the rmaid Holy Spirit contract beast, astonished the other mbers of the national team as well.
That was a commander-level creature! Although all present had experienced trials across multiple countries and had reached the advanced tier—so even wielding dual-elent high-level spells—they still found it hard to take on a commander-level demon alone.
Unless soone possessed a Domain or had refined a Soul Seed or similar high-level thods.
Guan Yu sighed, "I feel like our captain alone as a summoner could take on our entire team."
Everyone gathered at a small tavern in Hami City.
Before Lu Jun even sat down, the rmaid proactively pulled out a chair for him and stood behind him, gently massaging his shoulders.
Hiss hiss—Mo Fan witnessed this top-tier service, then glanced at his own shoulder where the drowsy Fla Fairy baby was nodding off, and suddenly didn’t feel so thrilled anymore.
"Look at you, now look at her. Daddy raised you with poop and pee since you were a baby. Shouldn’t you, my dear daughter, show so filial piety?"
So Mo Fan thought long and hard and decisively began PUA-ing his Fla Fairy.
The Fla Fairy baby yawned, her tiny feet stepping on Daddy’s face, waking up with a dazed look.
She then rolled over, changed positions, and went back to sleep. Before dozing off, she even scratched her little butt.
Mo Fan was speechless and gave up, saying, "Forget it, forget it. Daughters are ant to be spoiled."
Beside him, Jiang Shaoxu and a few other girls were watching Fla Fairy’s antics with stars in their eyes. "So cute, I’m dying."
Then their eyes drifted over to the aloof rmaid lady, visibly tempted to rush over and cuddle her. "She’s so beautiful, I wanna stick close to her."
Especially since their team had another summoner—Jiang Yu—with his adorable black cat. Simply invincible.
Jiang Shaoxu sighed, "Ah, I regret not awakening the summoning elent at the advanced tier."
The other girls all nodded in agreent.
After so small talk, they finally got to the main topic.
Lu Jun asked, "What are your plans next? Heading straight to the Peruvian National Pavilion—Royal Felipe Castle or sowhere else?"
At his words, everyone exchanged glances. Ai Jiangtu spoke solemnly, "We’re thinking of first heading to the Great Gobi Valley not far from Hami City. There’s an ancient ruin there, and the natural storms inside might contain many high-level resources."
"Yes," Nan Jue followed up. "The national pavilion alone won’t provide enough for our improvent. We have to go adventuring ourselves. Would you be willing to join us? It would greatly increase our survival odds."
The national team was eager to obtain Soul Seed-level enhancent resources to help bridge the gap between regular advanced-tier and commander-tier combat power.
"Training, huh?"
Lu Jun understood and feigned a mont of consideration before agreeing.
In fact, he had his sights set on the Great Gobi of Peru—there were great opportunities there. In the original story, Mo Fan obtained things like the Ti Liquid and Earth Elental Crystal, and that was just part of it.
Every national team mber made major gains, and Lu Jun wanted to try his luck too, see what he could find in the ruins.
Of course, the trip to the ruins was fairly smooth—what followed was the real trouble.
Before entering the Great Gobi Canyon, the national team had rashly stepped into Peru’s famous ancient ruin—Nazca Geoglyphs.
This incredible wonder was well-known in the scientific world of the previous life. Anyone who had watched Into Science or 100,000 Unsolved Mysteries as a kid would get the gist.
But in the magic world, these mysteries beca real—they possessed supernatural power!
The national team had triggered a taboo of the geoglyphs. After exiting the Gobi Valley, they were attacked by mysterious monstrous birds. It started with one, then ten, then rapidly multiplied—eventually reaching 100,000—throwing them into a life-or-death crisis.
Only a Monarch could wipe out most of them in one go.
But the national team was full of young advanced-tier mages. To make matters worse, when they fled into a Peruvian city seeking shelter, they were turned away and left to fend for themselves.
This showed that foreign mages completely disregarded their duty to protect humanity, unlike those in the Nine Provinces who still had so sense of bottom line.
Naturally, this enraged many, leading them to unleash their backing forces to exact brutal revenge on Peru.
Because in the magic world, failure to unite your race and instead grovel before demons was a fundantal error in principle.
So when Lu Jun hid in Sydney, he had already anticipated it. If the Sea Monster Empire had dared to act under pressure from the Magic Association, he would’ve had to don the ancient royal armor.
"What a damn sha. Even when facing survival pressure, we still can’t unite."
Lu Jun shook his head, never putting any faith in the Magic Association. It was nice if he could use their power, but he never counted on it.
However, he also knew the national team was wrongly blad—the real one who angered the Nazca Geoglyphs was a local.
A descendant of the ancient Incan Empire, bearing the Li Fan mark.
That man had rashly taken a gemstone from the eye position of one of the monstrous bird geoglyphs inside the Nazca Geoglyphs.
Unfortunately, the national team had entered at that exact mont and were wrongly implicated as scapegoats.
Now, Lu Jun deliberately asked, "By the way, have any of you visited the Nazca geoglyphs?"
Guan Yu replied regretfully, "We toured them a few days ago. Nothing special—just a lot of hype."
"I see. Hold on a mont. I have sothing to take care of," Lu Jun said casually, his mind made up—to capture that Incan heir and retrieve the monstrous bird gemstone, then bring both into the Gobi Valley ruins.
If the two were brought together, might sothing happen between them? Even if nothing extraordinary occurred, he could return to the Nazca site afterward and return the gemstone—silently resolving the bird-glyph chaos.
After all, this disturbance was a complete disaster for a small country like Peru.
"No problem—we’ll wait for you,"
Nan Jue said without prying into Lu Jun’s plan, nodding decisively. "We still need to prepare so magical equipnt before entering the ruins to help us get in more easily."
So the group split up to carry out their tasks.
Lu Jun didn’t hesitate and set off. He rembered the heir’s na: Shelton, a miner working at the Ariely Mine.
Coincidentally, the Ariely Mine was not far from Hami City. Of course, in a small country, it being like a province in Nine Provinces, distances weren’t significant.
Before leaving, he specifically asked Ai Jiangtu for a pass. Conveniently, this Ariely Mine was jointly funded by the Nine Provinces—providing technology, staff, and even military mage protection.
When Lu Jun arrived at a range of mountains filled with caves and pitted ground, smoky and warlike, the security checkpoint was staffed by familiar Chinese faces, who greeted him warmly. Upon seeing Ai Jiangtu’s pass, they allowed him through imdiately.
The commanding military officer even ca over in person promptly.
The middle-aged officer spoke seriously: "You have a letter from the young master. You are his friend, and a national team mber. Tell what you need."
Lu Jun announced the Shelton’s na and said, "We must find this man. He’s a miner based here."
The mages moved efficiently. Among the thousands of miners, they located him and the military had him brought in.
He was a middle-aged man, filthy and disoriented, with a gray face and dirt-streaked skin—completely bewildered by what was happening.
