Chapter 162 Zhao Manyan’s Caution
“In that case, we can only go through in batches. Xiao Hou, you and Xinxia go through together, while Mo Fan, Zhao Manyan and I will force our way through!”

Xu Fan thought for a moment and said, although this sand river is extremely dangerous, it is a river of treasure for Xu Fan and Mo Fan. Both of them can turn the monsters they hunt into the resources they need.

As for Zhao Manyan, he was just a bonus. With this defensive mage around, it would have been too strange for the two of them to have gotten through without any harm.

Mo Fan was eager to try after hearing this, but Zhao Manyan looked unhappy. He naturally believed that Xu Fan could protect him, but he still wanted to get away with it if possible.

"Don't worry, Brother Xu, I will protect Xinxia and Lingling!"

Zhang Xiaohou patted his chest and said that he had always trusted Mo Fan and Xu Fan without reservation. Now that the two of them were together, he was even less worried about whether they would encounter any accidents.

"And I!"

Zhou Min and He Yu also whispered that they had also put in a lot of effort along the way with the help of several high-level mages.

"We are waiting for you across the river! You must come up safely!"

Zhao Chenying also said with concern that although she had her own little plans, she was not a bad person by nature, and if possible, she still hoped to make friends with Xu Fan and others.

"Don't worry, we, the Three Pearls, are not just famous for nothing!"

Zhao Manyan suddenly said that he had realized that if there were only three of them, they would not have to hide their strength any more. Then he could take out the constellation book that he had kept at the bottom of his backpack and show it off.

"The Three Great Pearls?"

Mo Fan looked at Zhao Manyan with a puzzled look on his face. You are so brave to have such a title. How come, after fighting with the monsters with almost zero damage, you still say that the three of us are really strong?

"Be careful!"

Ye Xinxia knew that Xu Fan would never do anything without confidence, so after giving Xu Fan some instructions, she patted the old wolf, and the old wolf carried her and Lingling into the Baisha River.

Zhang Xiaohou, Zhou Min, He Yu and Zhao Chenying stood on the old wolf's side in pairs, and then they disappeared into the Baisha River step by step.

This Baisha River is called a river, but in fact it is just similar to a river.

In other words, this place was a river before it dried up. Since the Baisha demon soldiers came here, the river has continued to expand with the proliferation of the Baisha demon soldiers. Now the width of the river is more than ten kilometers. It can be said that if the Baisha River was not a long strip on the map, this place might have been renamed Baishaze.

Ye Xinxia and the others quickly disappeared from their sight, and Zhao Manyan finally came to Xu Fan's side and looked at him seriously.

"why?"

Zhao Manyan asked.

"what why?"

Mo Fan was stunned for a moment.

"You asked us to hide our strength because of Chen Ying, right? I've already told you that she can be trusted!"

Zhao Manyan said seriously that although Xu Fan had advised him to hide his strength before, Xu Fan himself had no intention of hiding his strength. However, when he brought Zhao Chenying into the team, Xu Fan's attitude changed.

Mo Fan on the side also looked at Xu Fan with sudden enlightenment. They had hardly been separated before, and now that they had a chance to be alone, Zhao Manyan of course had to ask clearly.

"Of course you and I believe it. The appearance of Zhao Chenying at that time was too coincidental. It was so coincidental that it was suspicious. Going to the north corner of Zhuoyuan is of great importance. If there is any mistake, it may be a waste of time!" "There are more than a few of us who are targeting Yan Ji!"

"Besides, we originally tried every means to hide our whereabouts, but Zhao Chenying still accidentally found out about your movements!"

Xu Fan said seriously that there were some anomalies when collecting information about Yan Ji before. Compared with the information about other types of elemental elves, the information about Yan Ji seemed to be delivered to his hands voluntarily!
"When I was gathering information, I used some of our Zhao family's connections. It's normal that Chen Ying happened to hear it!"

Zhao Manyan's face changed slightly. Although he understood Xu Fan's behavior, he still couldn't accept it. He would not be ashamed or angry because of Xu Fan's vigilance. He would only regret that he did not know the person well and let the wolf into the house, causing unnecessary losses.

"Did she say what her purpose was?"

Xu Fan smiled, but Zhao Manyan remained silent. He had promised Zhao Chenying not to tell anyone about this matter, but he knew that Zhao Chenying's purpose should not conflict with those of the others. After all, Zhao Chenying was just going to pick some fruit.

"She will definitely not tell us her purpose. Maybe she herself doesn't know what her purpose means!"

Xu Fan sighed. Zhao Chenying was a poor person. She had been used since she joined the team, and her target was her mother.

"It's just a fruit, there shouldn't be any problem!"

Zhao Manyan said hesitantly. He was still unwilling to question Zhao Chenying's intentions.

"What if that's the only fruit? And that fruit happens to be our goal?"

Xu Fan spoke slowly, and Zhao Manyan's eyes immediately became sharp. He realized the problem. If Zhao Chenying had not deceived him, then it was Zhao Chenying's parents who had deceived him.

Zhao Manyan still remembered that Zhao Chenying's parents had said that Zhao Chenying's goal was only to go deep into the northern corner of Zhuoyuan. It was a very common thing, but it was a little difficult to pick.

"I understand. I will be careful! But if Chenying really has no problem, I hope you can explain everything to her!"

Zhao Manyan breathed a sigh of relief, and in his heart he felt a little fear for the Zhao family he belonged to. If Xu Fan's guess was true, then he must always be vigilant against his family.

"No problem, as long as these trivial matters don't affect our brotherly relationship!"

Xu Fan smiled, and Mo Fan on the side finally breathed a sigh of relief. With Xu Fan in front to protect him from the wind and rain, he didn't feel like thinking anymore.

"When do we start? My intermediate fire element is about to be upgraded to the fourth level!"

Mo Fan said eagerly, with a hint of pride in his words. After all, he had discovered that Xu Fan's magic star had not been strengthened. This was the only way he was better than Xu Fan.

Mo Fan's casual words made Zhao Manyan extremely envious. Tsk tsk, he even started to doubt who the descendant of a big family really was. He never thought that a mere Mo Fan would have the chance to show off his wealth in front of him.

"No rush! Let them walk a little longer!"

Xu Fan waved his hand and turned to look in the direction of the start. Thick smoke suddenly rose from there, and it seemed that a large number of demons were rushing over.

"Oh my god! It's the Leeroy!"

Mo Fan suddenly screamed. He had sharp eyes and could see at a glance that there were several people fleeing for their lives in front of the demon.
