The yellow sand was vast, and the sun was scorching.

“Captain, there’s someone!”

A young man with a seven-point haircut saw someone on a distant sand dune.

His name was Wu Zhaokun, a member personally recruited by the third division captain Zhang Heng and was given special training.

“Probably close to a hundred people, and the captain of the ninth division is also there!”

Wu Zhaokun had the divine ability of clairvoyance, able to see very far: “It’s bad, mummies have appeared!”

“You two, go take care of it!”

Zhang Heng ordered, and casually destroyed a mummy.

These resurrecting monsters were really troublesome.

Zhang Heng preferred to use force to subdue ten, but today was a bit unexpected, it seemed like he had to use his brain.

He knew that if they couldn’t find the reason why these mummies wouldn’t die, they wouldn’t be able to get rid of them.

“Captain Fei is also there, is it really okay for us to go over?”

A young man with a scholarly air expressed concern.

“Once that useless guy takes care of the mummies, everyone will probably be dead!”

Zhang Heng urged, “Hurry!”

In Zhang Heng’s opinion, apart from the first five divisions, the rest should be disbanded to save funds for the strong members like them.

“Alright!”

Wu Zhaokun laughed, “Mingshu, let’s go and let Captain Fei see the strength of the third division.”

Wu Zhaokun took the lead and charged out, even on the sand, he moved as swiftly as if flying.

The young man with a scholarly air immediately followed him.

His name was Chen Mingshu, and he was in the same period as Wu Zhaokun.

…

“What caused these monsters? Why won’t they die?”

Lin Baici quickly shook his head, observing the surrounding environment and the mummified corpses, trying to find some clues.

After a few seconds, he saw a mummy charging from the five o’clock direction, but its targets were all women or weaker individuals.

And although it seemed to be in a frenzy, after attacking one person, it didn’t continue to attack the next target like the other mummies, but paused, preferring to attack a better target even if it meant going further.

“This one is intelligent!”

Lin Baici’s eyes lit up, and he immediately pretended to attack the enemy, moving closer to it.

The closer he got, the higher the success rate of the kill, but what Lin Baici didn’t expect was that this mummy actually dodged.

“…”

This scene further confirmed to Lin Baici that this mummy was different.

“Yueyu, take care of that one!”

Lin Baici said, throwing a bronze sword.

Swish!

The dragon tooth flew, skimming the ground, and quickly reached the mummy.

The mummy agilely rolled, successfully avoiding the attack.

“Discovered!”

The mummy leaped like a fish, leaping into the desert, trying to burrow in.

Hua Yueyu reacted quickly, seeing the bronze sword flying towards a mummy, she immediately aimed her voodoo staff at it.

Crackle!

A lightning chain shot out, pale blue electric arcs pierced through the air, hitting the mummy.

Boom!

The mummy’s body instantly stiffened, some black smoke emanated, and there were blackened marks on its body.

Snap!

While running, Lin Baici grabbed the returning dragon tooth and shot it out again.

This time, the bronze sword hit, piercing the mummy’s head from the back.

Thud! Thud! Thud!

Muscle Buddha came running, a mummy rushed towards it, but it was grabbed and smashed by it.

“Huh?”

Fang Tianhua saw Lin Baici suddenly smashing a mummy with a hammer, feeling a bit puzzled. Did it look ugly to you, making you unhappy? Or is it your rival?

But in an instant, Fang Tianhua denied this possibility. With Lin Baici’s face and the identity of a divine hunter, he would surely have no trouble pursuing a girl. It should be someone else who hates him.

“Where are you running to?”

Lin Baici grabbed the giant locust leg, leaped twice, easily crossing a distance of over twenty meters, and then descended from above, killing the mummy.

“Die!”

The giant locust leg struck the mummy’s head. Crushed meat!

Bang!

The mummy’s head shattered into fine sand, along with its neck and most of its shoulder.

Fei Xiao went all out, attacking the mummies, trying to draw their attention to him, buying time for everyone to escape. But the mummies were quite numerous, and their attack power was astonishing. Once a person was caught by them, they were basically done for.

“Captain, we need to find a way to kill these monsters, or else it’s a waste of effort!” Fang Tianhua was anxious.

They were fine, but ordinary people were dying, and the more they died, the more it proved their incompetence. If it were at other times, it would be fine, but the third division was right in front.

He didn’t want to lose face. “Understood!”

Fei Xiao thought, do you think I don’t want to? But these monsters have only appeared for a few minutes, and their full strength might not have been revealed yet. So wanting to gather enough and important information was just wishful thinking.

And because of the rescue, he was also distracted. “Troublesome!”

Fei Xiao frowned, this was the reason why he didn’t want to participate in rescuing ordinary people. “Captain, Wu Zhaokun is coming!”

Fang Tianhua shouted.

Fei Xiao turned to look, sure enough, two people were running towards them. Damn it!

Did Zhang Heng look down on me? Did he think that two rookies were stronger than me, the captain? That they could handle these mummies?

Fei Xiao felt aggrieved, and his anger rose, so his attacks on the monsters became more ruthless.

He used a machete, cutting off half of a mummy’s body, then he backhanded, because according to his previous experience, this backhanded strike would shatter the mummy that had just reformed.

But this time, he struck empty air.

Because after the mummy was shattered into sand, it didn’t reform. “Huh?”

Fei Xiao was stunned, what’s going on?

Could it be that I was lucky and the mummy that was keeping these others alive was taken down by my strike? Fei Xiao immediately pounced on the nearest mummy.

Swish!

The machete chopped off its head, and its body immediately turned into sand.Fei Xiao saw that it had not been restored, laughed, turned his head, and was about to tell Lin Baici, but saw him standing next to a broken mummy, and stepped on its chest.

Bang!

As this mummy’s corpse turned into powder, the other mummies attacking everyone suddenly exploded and died instantly.

Fei Xiao felt embarrassed and fortunate. It turned out to be Lin Baici’s credit. Fortunately, he didn’t say that he had already dealt with these mummies, otherwise, he would have lost face.

Fei Xiao was suddenly shocked.

Was Lin Baici lucky? Did he happen to kill that mummy? Or did he discover it with his keen observation skills?

If it was the latter, then that would be amazing!

Fei Xiao suddenly understood why Xia Hongyao wanted to recruit this young man with special talent. Wu Zhaokun rushed up the sand dune, but didn’t see a single mummy.

“Where are the monsters?”

Wu Zhaokun frowned. Why didn’t they reassemble?

“Of course, they were all killed!”

Fang Tianhua didn’t like Wu Zhaokun very much because he used to think he was a genius, but after meeting Wu Zhaokun, he was beaten and felt low for a long time.

“You killed them?”

Wu Zhaokun’s mouth was also sharp, and one sentence made Fang Tianhua feel aggrieved. Because the implication was clear, if it wasn’t you who did it, what are you proud of? “It was our team leader!”

Fang Tianhua coldly snorted. “Damn it!”

Fei Xiao heard this and was completely stunned. Don’t talk nonsense, if the truth is known, I can’t afford the consequences.

“How long have you been in this desert? Have you found anything?” Fei Xiao asked, changing the subject.

Wu Zhaokun ignored him and instead stared at the Scorpion Queen. He wasn’t afraid at all, but rather excited to attack. “Mingshu, let’s attack together!”

All monsters should be killed! Swish!

But as Wu Zhaokun rushed forward, a bronze sword stabbed diagonally, passing in front of him and forcing him to stop. “What are you doing?”

Wu Zhaokun stared at Lin Baici. Snap!

Lin Baici caught the Dragon Tooth and looked at this young man with an ordinary appearance but strong spirit and a pair of eyes that exuded a strong sense of oppression.

“She’s my friend!”

Lin Baici replied calmly. “Friend?”

Wu Zhaokun frowned. “What do you mean? Can humans be friends with monsters?”

What a ridiculous notion! “Are you crazy?” Wu Zhaokun questioned.

“I don’t know if Xiaohua is crazy, but I know for sure that you are definitely a Nine-Leak Fish. Listen carefully, the meaning of a friend is that you cannot harm it!”

Hua Yueyu didn’t like Wu Zhaokun and was grateful to the Scorpion Queen for pulling her into the sand cave during the sandstorm.

“You’re crazy!”

Wu Zhaokun cursed, not caring about the female anchor, and once again pounced on the Scorpion Queen. Lin Baici’s face darkened.

“Wu Zhaokun, stop it!” Xia Hongyao burst out. “Wu Zhaokun, don’t cause trouble!” Fei Xiao scolded.

For Fei Xiao, he felt that a living Scorpion Queen was more valuable for research than a dead body! Through it, they might be able to understand the ecological composition and life forms of the God’s Ruins.

Wu Zhaokun stopped, not because of Fei Xiao’s words, but because his divine favor told him that something unknown was watching him in the dark.

He immediately scanned the surroundings.

Was it divine favor? Or was it a divine taboo?

After glancing at Xia Hongyao, Wu Zhaokun turned back and looked at Lin Baici. “Get lost!”

Lin Baici’s words were concise.

Wu Zhaokun’s expression changed. He came to rescue these people with a strong sense of superiority, but in the end, he didn’t save anyone, which made him very unhappy, so he wanted to kill the Scorpion Queen.

After all, it’s just a monster, kill it if you can.

“Don’t misunderstand, we mean no harm! We came to help!” Chen Mingshu was quite rational and quickly interjected. After speaking, she looked at Fei Xiao and Xia Hongyao. “Captain Fei, Captain Xia, please be more tolerant of Zhaokun’s character!”

“Do we need your help, Oppa?”

Jin Yingzhen couldn’t wait for these people to have a falling out with Lin Baici, so he wouldn’t join the Nine Provinces Security Bureau. “Wu Zhaokun, we don’t need your help, just leave!”

Xia Hongyao knew that Wu Zhaokun had always disliked her and felt that she was not worthy of being a captain. In the department, the two of them had already had several conflicts.

“Hehe, it’s a joke. If I’m not mistaken, the mummies on your side haven’t been dealt with yet!” Fang Tianhua sneered.

Wu Zhaokun’s expression stiffened, and he turned to look. Indeed, their captain and the others were still fighting monsters.

This indicated that Fei Xiao and his team had found the key to killing these monsters earlier. “Mingshu, let’s go!”

Wu Zhaokun turned and left.

He wouldn’t ask these people how to completely kill these monsters because he was confident that with their strength, they could do it on their own.

Chen Mingshu smiled and was not ashamed to ask, “Everyone, please tell us how to kill these mummies as colleagues.”

Fei Xiao avoided Chen Mingshu’s gaze. Don’t look at me, it wasn’t me!

Xia Hongyao looked at Lin Baici, she was also curious about how Lin Baici had discovered it.

“There is a mummy that is quite special and easy to find. Kill it, and the others will die too!”

Lin Baici didn’t hide it because these people were also protecting some ordinary people. The sooner the monsters were killed, the safer they would be.

“Thank you!”

Chen Mingshu smiled slightly, and she had a good impression of this young man. “Mingshu, there’s no need to ask them. The captain has already dealt with those monsters!”

Wu Zhaokun shouted triumphantly. He saw that Zhang Heng had already killed all the mummies. “What’s so great?!”

Hua Yueyu muttered, “Isn’t he just slower than us?”

“Baici, let’s go. I’ll introduce you to Zhang Heng!”

Fei Xiao felt that Lin Baici had unlimited potential in the future, so he couldn’t help but want to do him a favor.

In his opinion, being able to know a big shot like Zhang Heng and establish a connection would be very beneficial for his future development in the Security Bureau and the Divine Hunter circle.

“I’m not interested!”

Lin Baici refused.

Fei Xiao was stunned, and then felt a tingling sensation on his scalp. Damn, is this kid’s personality so arrogant?Even if you don’t want to get to know him, is there a need to say it in front of his team members? Wu Zhaokun, upon hearing this, immediately glared at Lin Baici, while Chen Mingshu looked on in surprise. This young man doesn’t seem like a rash person, does he?

Why would he say something so thoughtless?

Lin Baici isn’t thoughtless; he’s just too confident.

After the battle ended, Zhang Heng ordered a rest. In his view, those who wanted to survive would surely come over and beg to join the team, but after waiting for a long time, there was no response from the other side.

“Is there a problem?”

Zhang Heng looked out, called everyone over, and hurried towards them.

Lin Baici and his group were replenishing water and eating, seizing the time to rest.

When Zhang Heng arrived, the first thing he saw was the Golden Scorpion Queen, but unlike Wu Zhaokun, who lacked subtlety, he didn’t say anything and just gave Lin Baici an extra glance.

Because this monster was clearly closely related to him.

Afterward, Zhang Heng’s gaze swept over the ordinary people and saw that each of them had a bottle of mineral water, a look of astonishment flashed across his face.

Who is this, to have a space-related Divine Taboo?

And judging by the way these people were eating and drinking, it was clear that the storage space was large and there were plenty of supplies. Zhang Heng subconsciously looked towards Xia Hongyao.

As the sister of Xia Hongmian, Xia Hongyao possessed a rare and exquisite Divine Taboo, which was not surprising!

“Captain!”

Wu Zhaokun walked up to Zhang Heng and whispered a few words, his gaze constantly drifting towards Lin Baici. “Mingshu, you tell it!”

Zhang Heng knew Wu Zhaokun’s character and didn’t believe his exaggerated words.

Chen Mingshu smiled wryly and repeated Lin Baici’s words, then added, “Youthful arrogance and overflowing talent, it’s understandable!”

“Did you take care of these mummies?” Zhang Heng inquired.

“Captain Zhang, this is Lin Baici!”

Fei Xiao quickly interjected, to prevent any discord, as Zhang Heng looked at Lin Baici with scrutiny upon hearing the name. “You’re Lin Baici?”

He had been away on a trip and upon returning, he heard that Minister Xia had issued a special recruitment clause for a genius, and according to the rumors about Lin Baici’s achievements, he indeed deserved it.

“Yep!”

Lin Baici casually responded. “Hey, what’s with that attitude?”

Wu Zhaokun was annoyed. “Our captain is speaking to you, and you remain seated? Do you know what a Lion King-level big shot is?”

Wu Zhaokun greatly respected Zhang Heng, so he couldn’t stand Lin Baici’s disrespectful attitude. “Tsk tsk, with that tone, one would think your captain is a Dragon-level!”

Hua Yueyu’s lips were sweet as honey, her retorts clean and sharp.

Wu Zhaokun’s face immediately turned red: “He will be soon!”

The captain not being Dragon-level was a topic everyone least wanted to bring up because it really was just a bit short of prestige. “Stop quarreling, aren’t you embarrassed?”

Zhang Heng glared at Wu Zhaokun, then turned to Lin Baici: “It looks like you’ve rested enough, let’s set off!”

After speaking, Zhang Heng took the lead towards the black shadow on the horizon. “Who does he think he is? Why should he be giving orders?”

Jin Yingzhen looked down upon this.

“Because he’s the Lion King!”

Fang Tianhua was frustrated.

Under such circumstances, everyone could only follow because that was the only way to increase their chances of survival, and once they followed, it meant seeking protection from others, naturally placing themselves in a lower position.

“Let’s go!” Fei Xiao called out to Lin Baici.

“Let’s move!”

Lin Baici set off, noticing Wu Zhaokun turning back and smiling at him. About a quarter of an hour into their walk, Shenshen suddenly spoke up.

“To leave this desert, one must head towards the black obelisk, but what appears before you now is a mirage. Turn left, and proceed in this direction!”

Lin Baici raised an eyebrow and stopped.

“What’s wrong?”

Fei Xiao took a sip of water.

“We’re going that way!”

Lin Baici looked at Fang Tianhua: “You go tell them, choosing this direction is the only way out of this desert!”

“How do you know?”

Fei Xiao was puzzled.

“Intuition!”

Lin Baici casually replied.

“Do you think Zhang Heng will listen to such a reason?”

Fei Xiao was speechless.

…

“Hehe, no matter how big of a front he puts on, he still has to follow us, right?”

Wu Zhaokun sneered.

“They’re just aiming for that black shadow too!”

Chen Mingshu sighed.

“Then when we encounter danger later, let’s not bother with them first. I want to see if they’ll call for help!” Wu Zhaokun said with a cold laugh.

“Captain Zhang, wait a moment!”

Fei Xiao hurried over.

“What is it?”

Wu Zhaokun overstepped: “He’s scared, coming to ask you to mediate?”

“Mediate your ghost!”

Fei Xiao cursed: “Lin Baici says, we need to go left to get out of this desert!”

“Reason!”

Zhang Heng glanced at Lin Baici, who was dozens of meters away.

“Intuition!”

After Fei Xiao finished speaking, he added, “But he has a divination-related Divine Taboo!”

Zhang Heng pondered, then shook his head: “I trust my own judgment more. I want to check out that black shadow first!”

Fei Xiao shrugged his shoulders; he knew this would be the outcome.

At Zhang Heng’s level, he wouldn’t listen to the suggestions of a nobody.
