Spirit Master Girl: Contracting with an SSS-Level School Beauty at the Start-Chapter 341 Southern Barbarian Land

After Xiao Zhan and Ye Youlong landed, they immediately activated their Perception Skill. Feeling relieved that their Perception Skill was unaffected, they grew a bit more at ease.

Qin Wanfeng had mentioned that the magnetic field in the Southern Barbarian Land was unusual, and Xiao Zhan was afraid that his Perception Skill would be impacted, which could prove troublesome.

Taking out the map, they confirmed their route and then set off towards their destination, Nansha City.

Nansha City was the nearest city to them, densely populated but very poorly managed. The city was full of people from all walks of life, a chaotic mix, making it a good place for Xiao Zhan to gather useful information.

Entering the Southern Barbarian Land, the air was completely different, with moisture evaporated, leaving it dry and scorching. Breathing it into the lungs was quite uncomfortable.

After walking for less than an hour, Xiao Zhan and his companion felt as if they were covered in a layer of dust.

But there was no choice, they had to keep going despite the harsh conditions. ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com

The environment’s special magnetic field rendered electronic devices useless, and vehicles were unable to be operated.

Of course, the old-fashioned purely mechanical vehicles could still operate, but who would have such vehicles in this day and age?

"Hey, bro, where you headed? Hop in, I’ll give you a lift?"

Just as he was thinking this, a rumbling noise suddenly erupted nearby.

Turning around, he saw an old-fashioned green jeep, purely mechanical. Three burly men were sitting in it, none of them women.

The three burly men were muscular, their skin darkened and tattoos marked different parts of their bodies.

They dressed in a Western style, mainly cowboys, ensuring cover from the sand while being convenient for fighting.

They spoke with a hearty tone, but their appearance looked rather unfriendly.

Moreover, although they were speaking to Xiao Zhan, their gazes were constantly fixed on Ye Youlong.

"I’m heading to Nansha City, is that on your way?" Xiao Zhan responded indifferently, knowing it was better to ride than walk.

"That’s our direction too, hop in then."

As he said this, the burly man in the backseat opened the door, reaching out his rough hand towards Ye Youlong, paying no attention to Xiao Zhan.

Barely noticeable, a cold smile flickered across Xiao Zhan’s lips. He grabbed the burly man’s hand first and used it to climb into the jeep, "Thanks."

He unapologetically took the middle seat, then turned to help Ye Youlong into the vehicle.

Seeing his plan thwarted, a flash of dissatisfaction flickered in the burly man’s eyes, yet his face remained impassive as he smiled, "No need for thanks in such fortuitous meetings. On the road, it’s all about friendship."

Afterward, the vehicle started and headed towards Nansha City.

Despite being wholly mechanical, the vehicle’s shock absorption was quite good.

The space was ample, and the seats very soft and comfortable, providing a smooth ride for Xiao Zhan and his companion.

"Young man, from the look of you two, you must have just entered from the Longxia Federation. What brings you to the Southern Barbarian Land?"

The burly man sitting next to Xiao Zhan chatted up.

"Nothing much, just here to meet a friend."

"Finding a friend? Why leave the nice Longxia Federation to find friends here? With your daring look, did you commit a crime in the Longxia Federation and are now seeking refuge here?"

"That could be one way to put it, but indeed I have a friend to find."

When abroad, one can craft their own identity. The Southern Barbarian Land was no good place, fabricating a more formidable identity could avert unnecessary troubles.

As it stands, it seemed trouble had already caught up.

Hearing this, the burly man warmly exclaimed, "Finding a friend? That’s easy! In Nansha City, if you can name them, there is no one we can’t locate. We can help you with that."

"Really? That would be great. But I’m not sure if she’s in Nansha City. She might be, or might not."

"That’s no issue! As long as she’s in the Southern Barbarians, I can find her for you!" the burly man assured.

"That impressive?" Xiao Zhan exclaimed, then asked, "Do you hold a high position in Nansha City?"

"Not really high. Ever heard of the Nansha Gang? I guess not. To be honest, we are members of the Nansha Gang, and it’s the sole major gang in Nansha City, governing everyone who enters."

Xiao Zhan silently nodded, gaining a bit of insight into Nansha City.

He spoke with excitement, "That’s great then. I was worried about how to find my friend. I really appreciate your help."

"Hahaha, don’t mention it. Meeting is fate, and we rarely come across someone as agreeable as you, young man. Let’s consider this making a new friend."

After saying this, the burly man took out two chilled beverages from a side compartment. "The sand and sun are harsh on the road. You must be thirsty. Here, take these to quench your thirst."

"How can I accept this? Riding with you has already troubled you, how can I drink your beverages? I know in the Southern Barbarian Land, these goods are the most valuable, even more precious than money."

The soil in the Southern Barbarian Land was barren, unable to produce much good crop, and with a high population, food resources were severely lacking.

However, the burly man forcibly handed one to Xiao Zhan, "What are you saying? We’re all friends here, what’s a drink amongst friends? Besides, although these are precious, to us three brothers, they’re not much, we have plenty."

After forcing the drink on Xiao Zhan, he then offered one to Ye Youlong.

But Xiao Zhan intercepted it midway, "Well, since you’ve put it that way, I’ll humbly accept."

He took the drink and handed it over to Ye Youlong.

However, neither of them was in a hurry to drink.

Without even a thought, they knew there was something off with these drinks.

Seeing his intentions foiled again by Xiao Zhan, the burly man’s eyes grew colder, but his face still maintained a warm smile.

"By the way, what’s your name, young man? I’m Lin Long, the one driving is my younger brother Lin Bao, and the co-driver is my second brother Lin Hu."

"My name is Xiao Yu, and this is my wife, Ye Youyou." Xiao Zhan continued using their aliases from the Pickle Federation.

Given they were on a mission, it was hard to ensure that no one here would recognize them.

Hearing his introduction, Lin Long pondered for two seconds but recognized neither name.

He then smiled and said, "You’re indeed fortunate, young man, to have such a beautiful wife. From the little sister-in-law’s demeanor, she surely isn’t a woman who could be raised by an ordinary family, right?"

Xiao Zhan nodded, "Indeed, I am fortunate."

He responded to the first part but not the second.
