Their next stop was Mexico, and unsurprisingly, their instructor confiscated all their valid documents, requiring them to hike to Mexico by traversing the long sea route between the Caribbean and the Pacific Ocean, passing through Colombia, Panama, Costa Rica, and many other countries.
Unbeknownst to them, they had already left Peru, passed through Colombia, and approached the Caribbean Sea.
They continued along the land, and considering that not everyone in the group was skilled in naval warfare, they did not take a ship this time.
This is the tropics, and coconut trees are very common. Along the way, we passed through many villages, towns, and cities, most of which had rows of coconut trees, and the houses were mostly thatched or wooden structures.
After passing through a small village, its beauty was truly breathtaking.
Here, bordering the sea, the land is terraced with hills, so that the pretty little wooden and thatched huts are scattered on the mountainside in a charming way. The delicate white mountain path winds its way up, and on both sides, a kind of pinkish-red herb is planted. Thus, the whole village is as beautiful and charming as a fairy tale, with mountains, roads, sea, flowers, and houses...
"Let's rest here," Jiang Shaoxu suggested first.
"Didn't we just rest before?" Ai Jiangtu frowned slightly.
The girls in the group all glared at him.
"Old Ai, look at this beautiful place, do you think they won't play here?" Lu Jie whispered to Ai Jiangtu.
After listening, Ai Jiangtu nodded thoughtfully and said, "Then let's rest here."
Then everyone entered this herb-filled village together.
Upon entering this fragrant herb village, a large fence appeared on the road ahead, where a small thatched pavilion stood, and a woman adorned with ornaments sat there.
She glanced at the group from the Nationalist government, her eyes initially showing some strangeness, unsure whether she was wondering why there were Asians here or something else.
"Lost travelers, are you looking for lodging in this dreamy little village, or do you have other plans... Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't notice you have female companions with you." The woman with the ornament smiled charmingly, showing no sign of restraint towards strangers.
The woman's skin was dark, yet it shimmered with an alluring luster, cleanliness, and elasticity, possessing a wild sensuality that is not found in many Eastern women.
Zhao Manyan loved to mess around with women, so he immediately went up and started chatting with the woman.
As a result, the woman with the ornament told everyone in a very tactful tone that Xiaozhai was holding a festival recently, during which no tourists were welcome.
"Since it's an event, why haven't we heard any voices from the residents of Xiaozhai?"
Suddenly, a sentence brought the group back to their senses.
Yes, since it's a festival event, there should be a lively atmosphere, but it's so deserted right now, it doesn't look like a festival event at all.
"Tell me, who exactly are you people? Pirates or what?" Lu Jie demanded.
"Hehe, I didn't expect you to see through me..." The woman with the ornament laughed.
"Red Ornament Guild... She's from the Red Ornament Guild!" Jiang Yu exclaimed in surprise as he looked at the ornaments on her body.
"You audacious pirate, watch me, Mo Fan, take you down!" Upon hearing the word "pirate," Mo Fan became interested. He had seen bounties for pirates before coming here, and in his eyes, this woman was a walking bounty.
Surrounded by the crowd, the woman was quickly bound, her mind sealed, and then Lu Jie used plant vines to tie her up.
"Leave a few people here to keep watch, we'll go see what's going on inside," Lu Jie said.
Ai Jiangtu nodded, signaling them to be careful; these Red Ornament Guild members were quite troublesome.
Lu Jie and his group went up and found a man dressed in red, covered in ornaments, and wearing a red beret, along with dozens of other people also covered in ornaments.
"Hey, you guys..."
As Xige was pondering how to get the villagers to hand over their money, he suddenly saw several Asians walking out from the bushes.
He walked straight past his men and stood directly in front of him.
Xige and the mages from the Red Ornament Guild were stunned, wondering where these young Asians had come from.
"Yellow-skinned monkeys, you're tourists, right? Consider yourself lucky to have run into our Red Ornament Guild. Those two girls with you are quite nice. I'll give you a chance. Come up with a price that satisfies me and buy them back." Sig glared at the four Asians, but he wasn't surprised.
"I don't know if you're satisfied with this price." Lu Jie took out a knife, then turned it upside down and stuck it into the ground.
Ding--!
The blade of the Mirror Flower Water Moon emitted a crisp sound, and the members of the Red Ornament Guild froze in shock.
"Old Mo, go up and slap him twice!" Lu Jie said.
Mo Fan walked up to Xi Ge with a smug look on his face and slapped him twice across the face, leaving two handprints on Xi Ge's face.
"Wow, Lao Lu, what kind of knife is this? It feels like a mind-controlling, soul-capturing knife." Mo Fan said with surprise when he saw that Xige had no reaction.
"I got it by chance. It has a mind-based magic array engraved on it, which is why it has this effect." Lu Jie made up a reason, but the others believed him.
After all, the world is vast and full of wonders, so it's not surprising that such a demon-slaying tool exists.
After the entire gang of pirates was captured, Lu Jie gave them a "wonderful" lesson, which they greatly benefited from. Afterwards, Jiang Shaoxu called the local government's hotline.
After waiting for quite a while, local government officials finally arrived. They were stunned to see so many members of the Red Ornaments Guild squatting on the ground, weeping bitterly.
They quickly came to their senses and dismissed Lu Jie and his group with a price of nine million.
Nine million was enough to get rid of them. That's how many Grey-Clad Cultists there are. So that's why not many hunters are willing to hunt down members of the Crimson Guild.
The four of them split the nine million equally, and then went to meet up with Ai Jiangtu and the others.
They arrived at a small town, where the power of money provided them with a place to rest and stay. For the rest of the time, they split into several groups and went out to do their own thing.
After spending a few days here, their new training mission has arrived.
This training mission involves capturing members of the Red Ornament Guild, and there's an extra reward—I heard it's the Dark Lord's Cloak.
The three national teams joined forces to capture all the members of the Red Ornament Guild, and the team that performed best would receive the Dark Noble Cloak.
The three national teams met in a place called Bluestone Town.
