It was common to see Hunters recruiting members for their parties with the most primitive approach at places like the Hunter's Lodge. Mo Fan noticed many people shouting at the entrance of the Hunter's Lodge when he walked past. The outpost was even a little overcrowded already. It had been bustling lately, especially after the government put up the quest asking for the Salamander Demons' Hearts, which had attracted many Hunters. Everything was in order, and defensive measures were being conducted properly. Information was often more important than strength to Hunters! There was a simple Hunter's Lodge providing the latest updates on the quest to the Hunters. The Thousand Islands Lake was currently a source of treasure. The rest of the people at the outpost were Hunters. There were four squads of soldiers mainly focused on patrolling the area. It mainly consisted of soldiers patrolling in the area to ensure the safety of Hangzhou and the other cities nearby. There was a half-military outpost to the east of the Thousand Islands Lake, about the size of a small town. Mo Fan put on a disguise and used the name Fan Mo before heading to the Thousand Islands Lake. After all, knowing Jiang Xia was the kind of person to haggle over every detail, he might have been reluctant to fulfill his end of the bargain once he knew they were looking for the Tree of Vows without it! Mo Fan was no longer worried that Jiang Xia would go back on his word only after signing the Hunter's Agreement. He eventually agreed to sign the Hunter's Agreement after acknowledging Mo Fan and Lingling's capabilities as Hunters. Jiang Xia found out that Lingling's group was responsible for taking down the Black Vatican on Chongming Island, solving the mystery of the Drowning Curse, and had even completed the quest of the Tear of Medusa. It was impossible to tell how long it would take the local government to eliminate them all without the help of elite Hunters. They told him that the Salamander Demons were quite tricky to deal with. He had believed he could handle it himself, but after Zhu Meng's sudden visit, he quickly asked some experts on demon creatures for their opinions. Jiang Xia was reluctant to accept their help at first. They were asking for the details of the Tree of Vows in return. Mo Fan asked Lingling to accept the quest that Jiang Xia had put up as representatives of the Clearsky Hunter Agency. Nothing was indeed impossible when mating was involved, no matter what living creatures they were! How did the Spiral Shelled Monsters even find their way there? The strange thing was, the sea was at least a hundred kilometers away from the Thousand Islands Lake, too. The Thousand Islands Lake was more than a hundred kilometers from Hangzhou, some distance away.
