Head off on an adventure is correct?
Here is first sentence : Someday, I will head off on an adventure.
I am not sure "head off on" is correct.
I've known these : head off(out) for an adventure / get into an adventure.
Actually, I want you to confirm whether on is correct or not.
Here is second sentence : I want you to rid the region of the terrible creatures infesting it.
Simply, I want to know what IT from "infesting it" means? creature? or region?
I'm sorry for the silly questions. Please help me understand. T^T

Heading off on an adventure is wonderful. Adventure is a journey and not a destination.
Insects infest areas. They thrive and reproduce often driving out other living things. The problem with ridding one pest is that worse problems often make the infestation the least of your worries. This is when the adventure begins. You need to head off the problems caused by your initial intervention.
You may simply wish to reduce the number of investing creatures rather than eliminating them.

Yes, "I will head off on an adventure" is perfectly correct and natural. In fact, to me it is more natural that either of your alternatives.
'it' refers to the region. It would be unnatural to duplicate the words, and say 'I want you to rid the region of the terrible creatures infesting the region' - so we use 'it' to refer to the previously mentioned subject.

To say "head off on an adventure" is perfectly correct.
The IT would refer to the region. The terrible creatures are infesting the region.
I hope this helps :-)
