Chapter 537
The Magic Castle at the Cape of Good Hope in Southern Africa!
Cape of Good Hope is the highest magic association in Feizhong. This magic castle, which guards the ocean, is like an ancient high city, standing quietly at the edge of the sky and the sea. The magic castle has never faded with the passage of time.
In the central conference hall of the Demon Castle, a special meeting was being held. The head of the meeting, an elderly man with a black, curly beard, slammed his fist on the conference table and roared, "How could this happen? Didn't we tell them under no circumstances to enter the Sahara?"
"Now is not the time to assign blame; the important thing is how to rescue them from the Sahara," said another blond-haired man.
"What solution do you have? Speak quickly." The black-bearded old man, having calmed himself down, turned to ask the guards of the Demon Castle.
"It will probably take our rescue team about a week to reach the Sahara region where they are. However, according to the intelligence provided by the International Magic Association, the Chinese government's team will pass through there. Right now, we can't contact those students. The best way is to ask the Chinese side to conduct a search and rescue operation first. That way, when our search and rescue team arrives, they won't be unable to find any trace of them," said the guard from the Magic Castle.
"Do you want fewer people to get lost in the Sahara?" the black-bearded old man roared angrily.
"This is the only option we can do, and I've already contacted the person in charge in China. They said that if we're willing to pay a high enough fee, they'll consider sending the Chinese National Guard to rescue us," the Demon Castle guard said.
"We're even paying them wages? Those people know nothing about the desert. What if we have to send people to rescue them later?" the black-bearded old man said with some disdain.
"So what exactly...?"
The meeting lasted for more than half an hour, and they finally decided to ask China for help, mainly because the Nationalist government team that had wandered into the Sahara Desert might not last long enough for their rescue team to arrive.
······
Meanwhile, after resting, the Nationalist team embarked on a new journey. The original plan was to travel along the edge of the Sahara and then along the southern coast of the Mediterranean into Egypt. However, before they even reached the Mediterranean, they received an emergency rescue mission.
"Rescue?? Or rescue in the Sahara?!" Zujiming's voice rose several decibels after hearing Aijiangtu's explanation.
"Sending us to the Sahara Desert is no different from sending us to our deaths!!"
The others also had varying expressions, mainly because the Sahara had a notorious reputation and was ranked among the top three demon-infested areas in the world!
Although hunter mages would actually venture into demon lands, even those that were dangerous, desolate, or remote, they were willing to take the risk, because the more dangerous the demon land, the more treasures were worth discovering.
But the Sahara is different, because it is a forbidden land for humans, and any hunter mage who dares to step into it is almost certain to die.
The distribution of demons in the outer ring of the Sahara Desert is already deep red, with a demon density comparable to some deep-sea areas. It is not uncommon to encounter demon clans or tribes, or even demon empires.
As you venture a little deeper into the Sahara, you'll find yourself surrounded by pure purple. Purple, of course, signifies that the density of demons here is more than three times that of the outer area, giving you a truly terrifying experience of encountering hordes of demons every few steps.
Generally speaking, many extremely dangerous places have a lot of terrible rumors surrounding them, but the Sahara has very few such rumors. People who go in die, so naturally there are no related rumors.
Besides the inner circle of demonic zones with a purple density, the deepest part is an even more terrifying black.
Only Jiang Han knew what was happening in that black zone—a true overlord-level demon!
······
"Our mentor said that whether or not to go to the rescue is a choice we can make, but if we give up going, we will lose the right to receive resources from the national government next time," Nan Yu said seriously.
Before anyone else could speak, Zu Jiming jumped out and declared, "I'd rather not go than go!"
"I'm not going either, that place..." Mu Yingting said with a frown.
"Captain, what do you think?" Immediately, many people turned their gaze to Ai Jiangtu, letting him make the decision.
Perhaps fearing misunderstanding, Nan Yu specifically explained, "This time we are only searching in the outer circle; we don't need to go all the way into the Sahara."
"As usual, Jiang Han will take those who want to go, and I'll keep an eye on the others who aren't going," Ai Jiangtu said.

"The professor is a bit unreasonable. He told us to choose for ourselves and even emphasized that if we didn't go, we would lose our eligibility for government resource allocation," Jiang Yu muttered, but ultimately decided to go anyway.
There's nothing I can do. My father has a close relationship with the instructors. If he finds out that I'm afraid to fight, he'll definitely make me train even harder.
"Sorry, we have other plans, so let's part ways here. As for the money? I won't argue with you about it; after all, when you're dead, you lose everything," Guan Yu said. (End of Chapter)
