As Fang Wen spoke, the expressions of his companions immediately became fierce and terrifying, filled with killing intent.

In order to survive, they even made scarecrows. Killing a few more people was completely without psychological burden.

“Don’t act rashly, it’s not confirmed yet!”

Wang Mingfu quickly stopped them.

He looked at the charred bird monster corpses on the ground. This couldn’t have been done with just a few torches. And there was also a large number of bodies spread out on the ground like a carpet. How did they all die?

Suddenly, he thought of a possibility.

Among these people, could there be the legendary Divine Hunter?

Thinking of this, Wang Mingfu immediately looked at Lin Baici, because these people regarded him as their leader. Then Wang Mingfu’s expression became respectful.

“May I ask, are you the Divine Hunter?”

There’s no harm in being polite, Wang Mingfu knew how to adapt.

Lin Baici took a bite of the eyeball that tasted like chicken meat, chewing while scrutinizing Wang Mingfu. “How many scarecrows have you made?”

Wang Mingfu quickly showed a helpless bitter smile. “We had no choice but to do it to survive. And we drew lots, so it was fair. Whoever drew the short straw had to be the scarecrow. It’s just bad luck!”

Although Lin Baici didn’t directly answer his question, he saw that these people showed no shock or surprise when they heard the words “Divine Hunter.” This indicated that they already knew the identity of this young man.

At this moment, Wang Mingfu’s mood suddenly became complicated.

He had heard that the Divine Hunter possessed a mysterious and powerful strength, far beyond that of ordinary people. So encountering a Divine Hunter in this dangerous situation should be a cause for joy, as following him would ensure their survival.

But the problem was, he was originally the leader, responsible for commanding everything. If he handed over the authority, he would lose the right to make decisions on certain matters and naturally lose the opportunity to seek benefits for himself.

Wang Mingfu was not an indecisive person, so he immediately stopped hesitating.

He would observe how this young man behaved before making any calculations. As long as he was human, there would be opportunities to use and control him.

If he really couldn’t get along with him, he could simply leave, or even turn against him.

With this in mind, Wang Mingfu had already adjusted his mindset. He didn’t wait for Lin Baici to answer and immediately flattered, “It was you who discovered that using scarecrows could attract these bird monsters, right? The Divine Hunter is truly amazing.”

“I didn’t mean to hide it from you. It’s just that using people as scarecrows is too inhumane. Even if I told you, I believe you wouldn’t accept it. So I planned to wait until you have witnessed the cruelty and horror of those bird monsters and accepted reality before telling you.”

Wang Mingfu spread his hands. “But I didn’t expect you to be the Divine Hunter!”

“Alright, stop with the act.”

Guo Zheng felt that this Wang Mingfu was too hypocritical, but his reasoning ability was quite strong. He had guessed the identities of the two so quickly.

“You, come here and tell us everything that happened to you in this meat forest!”

Lin Baici pointed at the elevator girl. After this wave of attacks by the cannibal crows, her condition had worsened.

He didn’t let Wang Mingfu introduce her because this guy was likely to lie.

“After we woke up, we found ourselves in a desolate grassland. We walked for a while but couldn’t find a way out. It was like being trapped in a maze until we encountered a group of soldiers who brought us here…”

The elevator girl spoke with a trembling voice due to nervousness and fear.

“Have some water!”

Lin Baici took out a bottle of Nongfu Spring from his backpack and handed it to the elevator girl.

He had spare backpacks in his black alms bowl, but he didn’t expect to use them so soon. And it seemed like he needed to prepare more.

Fang Wen and the others’ eyes lit up, all staring at the bottle of mineral water in Lin Baici’s hand, licking their lips.

The elevator girl’s expression brightened, and she immediately took it, thanking him while eagerly unscrewing the cap and gulping it down.

Cough! Cough!

Because she drank too quickly, some water flowed out of her cracked lips.

“Old man, can you give me a bottle too?”

Fang Wen couldn’t help but speak, asking for water.

Lin Baici glanced at this strong man, clearly a fighter.

[A man who used to be a boxing champion, but his meat is too tough, not worth it!]

“Hehe!”

Lin Baici laughed. He had plenty of water, but why should he give it to him?

He had seen clearly the eager expressions of these people who were ready to pounce just now.

Fang Wen looked at Zhao Tong, who was drinking water, and spoke again, “I used to be a boxing champion and worked as a combat coach in Palm Port for six years. I’m good at fighting. Can I join your team?”

Wang Mingfu raised an eyebrow upon hearing this, but he held back and didn’t say anything. The others were shocked.

“Fang Ge, don’t do this!”

“Fang Ge, what will we do if you leave?”

“Is it worth it for a bottle of water?”

Everyone was talking at once, trying to persuade Fang Wen to stay because he was the best fighter. Without him, the team’s combat power would greatly decrease.

Fang Wen ignored them and looked at Lin Baici. “Old man, my performance is definitely better than these people around you!”

It wasn’t just about the water.

It was about a bird choosing its nest.

Fang Wen had heard of the name Divine Hunter, but he didn’t know how powerful he was. However, Wang Mingfu’s attitude gave him a direct understanding.

This guy was strong and ruthless. Fang Wen had witnessed it himself. In order to make this team his absolute authority, Wang Mingfu had even personally killed two disobedient people to establish his dominance. And now, facing this young man, his attitude was even more accommodating.

Lin Baici took out a bottle of water and a piece of chocolate, throwing them to Fang Wen.

“Thank you, old man!”

Fang Wen expressed his gratitude first before unscrewing the cap and taking a few sips.

Zhao Tong, who saw this scene, froze. She stared blankly at the bottle of Nongfu Spring in her hand, then turned her head to look at the surrounding gazes filled with longing for a sip. She suddenly realized the value of this bottle of water, which usually only cost two yuan.

It could make the usually rough and domineering Fang Wen humble himself.

Zhao Tong looked at Lin Baici.

Huh?

She felt like she had seen this young man somewhere before.Lin Baici’s time in the elevator was less than thirty seconds, so Zhao Tong didn’t remember it very clearly. After all, her goal was the wealthy people, not a college student who was brought to Palm Harbor by a friend to broaden his horizons.

“Continue speaking after you’ve cleared your throat!”

Lin Baici urged.

“Oh!”

Zhao Tong continued, but this girl was obviously not very smart besides being decent-looking. When she spoke, she didn’t know how to focus on the main points.

“Boss, the next wave of bird monsters is coming soon.”

Wang Mingfu took out his watch and looked at it. “The most urgent thing is to determine the tactics to drive away the birds and protect these wild game with the least cost.”

“No need to determine, just follow the distribution from earlier. You guys take care of your side, and I’ll take care of this side!”

Lin Baici didn’t trust Wang Mingfu at all. What he said was likely all lies.

Wang Mingfu’s face stiffened, but he also understood that if the other party asked Zhao Tong to explain the situation instead of him, it meant that they were wary of him.

Damn it!

Being too capable is not good either!

Wang Mingfu sighed. “Then let’s go back and prepare!”

Wang Mingfu didn’t dare to stay any longer, otherwise, everyone would follow Fang Wen’s example and how would he have any fun?

“Go!”

Lin Baici had no intention of cooperating with this ruthless person who could use living people as scarecrows. As for Fang Wen, who voluntarily came to be a thug, of course, he would keep him.

“Let’s go!”

Wang Mingfu urged, but these people didn’t move. Several women even looked at each other and suddenly rushed over, kneeling in front of Lin Baici.

“Please, let us join your team!”

“I don’t want to die, please save me!”

“Handsome guy, I’ll give you all my savings, a total of 2.6 million. Can you protect me and help me escape from this place?”

Several women begged, crying miserably. They were all unlucky souls who were going to be scarecrows.

Seeing this, Wang Mingfu’s face turned black and he became angry. He wanted to scold and even beat these women to teach them a lesson, but when he glanced at Lin Baici, he suppressed this impulse.

Now, he was not in charge.

“Haha, 2.6 million? Is that a lot?”

Guo Zheng spat and laughed, “What can you do with that money? You can’t even buy a hair on my leg!”

“Do you really not want to taste it?”

Lin Baici ate the last eyeball of the cannibal crow and wondered if he should have another wave.

What should he do if he’s a little addicted?

“Get lost!”

Guo Zheng cursed loudly. The crying and begging of these women annoyed him.

Damn it!

Aren’t we all divine hunters? Why don’t you come and beg me?

Looking down on me?

The women didn’t move, they just looked at Lin Baici. This made Guo Zheng even angrier, and he kicked them.

“Get lost! Get lost! Get lost!”

The women immediately stumbled.

“Go quickly, don’t disturb the boss’s rest!”

Wang Mingfu took the opportunity to drive everyone away.

After exchanging a glance with the jade-faced youth, Wang Mingfu began to take action with everyone.

Bang!

After being kicked by Wang Mingfu, Zhao Tong finally reacted. She wanted to run towards Lin Baici, but she was grabbed by Wang Mingfu.

“If you dare to run, believe it or not, I’ll turn you into a scarecrow right away?”

Wang Mingfu threatened in a low voice.

Zhao Tong was shocked and shrank like a quail. She worked in Palm Harbor and knew that Wang Mingfu was strict. She had been scolded by him many times.

So out of instinct, she became timid.

Wang Mingfu exerted force on his arm, quickly pulled Zhao Tong, and led everyone away. He didn’t look back because he was worried that the young man would change his mind.

After walking more than a hundred meters away and confirming that these strange trees blocked their view and they couldn’t see each other, Wang Mingfu immediately raised his hand and slapped Zhao Tong twice.

Slap! Slap!

Zhao Tong was stunned by the slaps.

“What? Have you forgotten that you were able to survive before because of me?”

Wang Mingfu roared, “You’ve seen how I am, have you seen how that young man is? Moreover, if you die, I will give your family two million. They are all ungrateful people.”

Everyone couldn’t lift their heads under Wang Mingfu’s scolding.

Zhao Tong covered her face, feeling the burning pain. She felt that Wang Mingfu’s words were not quite right, but she couldn’t find out what was wrong.

“Let’s go back quickly. I estimate that after another wave, these bird monsters will stop appearing. It can’t go on like this forever.”

Wang Mingfu didn’t know when the bird monsters’ attacks would end, but he wanted to stabilize these people first.

“Mr. Wang!”

The jade-faced youth approached Wang Mingfu, “What are Divine Hunters?”

“I don’t know either!”

Wang Mingfu glanced at the jade-faced youth and then at the others, “Do you think that young man is a good person? Let me tell you, he’s a hypocrite.”

“These women begged him, but he found them burdensome and didn’t want them. But he didn’t speak up because once he refused, it would make him appear heartless and reduce everyone’s good impression and respect for him.”

“I’m different from him. I say what I want, and I haven’t lied to you, right?”

“You don’t have to rush either. First, see how Fang Wen is doing over there. If he’s doing well, you can leave as you please. I won’t stop you.”

It must be said that Wang Mingfu had a way with words. With his tone and emotional manipulation, he dispelled the idea of the jade-faced youth and the others to follow Fang Wen and join Lin Baici.

…

Fang Wen had changed bosses and was a little uneasy. Although he appeared strong and seemed to rely on his physical strength to make a living, he also had a sweet mouth.

“You are so lucky to be able to follow the boss. The women over there are in a miserable state. When the bird monsters come, if we can’t hold them back, we have to draw lots to become scarecrows and attract the bird monsters.”

Fang Wen sighed, seemingly lamenting, but also subtly praised Lin Baici, implying that he was more capable and humane than Wang Mingfu. Moreover, he could calm everyone’s hearts and make everyone firmly follow Lin Baici.

Gu Rongjie glanced at Fang Wen.

She didn’t expect this muscular man to be so scheming. His words were more comfortable than blatant flattery.Zhou Ya and the others couldn’t help but shudder when they heard this.

Just thinking about being nailed to a wooden frame and pecked by those bird monsters, it must be so painful!

“Lin Shen, I want to give birth to a monkey for you!”

Du Xin smiled coquettishly. This statement was already quite explicit, but Lin Baici remained indifferent, not even giving her a glance.

Damn it!

If this were in a bar, I would use a combo move that would make you kneel down and call me a goddess, swipe your credit card, and then give me another dragon costume!

Wait a minute,

Lin Shen is a god hunter, he must not be short of money, right?

Thinking of this, Du Xin’s heart ached even more. Why can’t you just look at me a little more?

I may have some backup options, but I have never had an abortion, and I promise to only treat you well in the future!

Woof!

Lu Yingxi pursed her lips. Lin Baici owed her a lot of favors, and Lu Yingxi was grateful. But Lin Baici’s indifference towards her also made her unhappy.

She felt that Lin Baici should treat her as a reliable teammate.

When I become a god hunter, I will let you know,

I am also excellent!

“On our side, we also need to draw lots to choose a scarecrow!”

Guo Zheng chuckled, “But since you just arrived and haven’t contributed, the next scarecrow will be you!”

“What?”

Fang Wen was shocked and then showed a bitter smile, “Brother, don’t scare me!”

“Hmph!”

Guo Zheng coldly snorted. You call Lin Baici “Big Brother” and call me “Brother”, I have no face?

“Stop talking nonsense, quickly tell us the details of the situation, focus on the important parts!”

Lin Baici urged.

Fang Wen had been a coach before, so he had no problem expressing himself and quickly explained the current crisis.

“Lin Shen, how did you manage to protect the wild game earlier?”

Fang Wen asked curiously.

“You’ll find out soon!”

Lin Baici looked towards the northwest, where a large group of cannibal crows appeared, covering the sky like a dark cloud, rushing towards them.

“Prepare to light the fire!”

Lin Baici stood up.

Guo Zheng and the others quickly picked up the already lit torches.

“Lin Shen, these bird monsters are not afraid of smoke, smoke doesn’t have much effect on them!”

Fang Wen reminded.

“Hmm?”

Lin Baici frowned. Something was not right. The Food God had commented that these cannibal crows were afraid of fire and smoke, so why wouldn’t it work?

Chirp! Chirp! Chirp!

The cannibal crows attacked, swooping down like bombers and pecking at the wild game hanging on the dry branches of the trees.

“Light the fire! Light the fire!”

Guo Zheng urged.

The bonfire on the ground was ignited, and the others added tree leaves and rotten grass to the fire, creating a thick smoke that immediately rose up.

Cough! Cough!

Du Xin coughed while grabbing the hem of her linen robe, using it as a fan to try to spread the smoke faster.

“Guo Zheng, burn the tree on the right!”

Lin Baici ordered. There were the most cannibal crows on that strange tree.

“What about the meat on top?”

Guo Zheng had just asked when he saw stones flying out one after another, hitting the branches of the tree where the wild game was hanging.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Wood chips flew, tree trunks broke, and fell down.

“Damn it, I’m so stupid!”

Guo Zheng felt extremely frustrated when he saw this scene. How could Lin Baici not think of the problems that he could think of?

He decided not to think too much anymore and just follow Lin Baici’s orders.

“Hurry up!”

Lin Baici said, then quickly changed his mind, “Wait, change the target, go burn that one!”

The wild game fell, and some cannibal crows landed on the ground and continued to peck, while others flew away to find other meat. As a result, there were not many cannibal crows left on the strange tree.

Lin Baici didn’t want to lose the wild game, it seemed that this plan wouldn’t work.

Guo Zheng rushed to the tree that Lin Baici pointed to, five meters in front of it, and released his divine power!

Whoosh!

The lizard head spewed out a long flame, directly igniting the strange tree.

Crackle! Crackle!

The scorching flames burned, making it look like a giant torch.

A strong black smoke immediately rose up and began to spread.

Chirp! Chirp! Chirp!

The cannibal crows screeched and pounced on Guo Zheng.

“Lin Shen, it seems like the smoke really doesn’t work!”

Du Xin panicked.

Lin Baici furrowed his brows. He could crush a crab, and some cannibal crows flew through the smoke without showing any signs of being affected.

What’s going on?

The Food God’s comment shouldn’t be wrong, right?

“Damn it!”

Fang Wen was dumbfounded.

Is this the God Hunter?

So powerful!

Then, in the next moment, he looked at Lin Baici in shock.

This Guo Zheng can create such a big fire and burn down a tree in an instant, but even with such strength, he is still not the leader of these people.

Then how terrifying is this Lin Shen?

Fang Wen could tell that Guo Zheng was very afraid of this boy.

There were too many cannibal crows, and Lin Baici started to take action, preparing to clean them up.

He used the same tactics as before, using crossbow arrows to attract the monsters, while the clay figurines hid in the shadows and provided support.

Soon, a large group of cannibal crows gathered around Lin Baici, forming a huge black ball, like a tornado storm.

Chirp! Chirp! Chirp!

The screeching of the cannibal crows was piercing and sharp.

Fang Wen was about to wet himself. Being surrounded by so many monster birds,

Can this…

Can this person still survive?

The others had just witnessed Lin Baici’s display of power and were completely calm.

Lin Baici swung the torch made of pine wood, driving away the attacking cannibal crows.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

The flickering flames created beautiful tails of fire, resembling a swimming dragon, frolicking and playing in this eerie forest of withered trees. Anything touched by it turned to ashes.

The sound of the phoenix flute, the golden crow’s light, a twilight dragon dance!

Fang Wen was dumbfounded.

What is that torch?

Why is it that whenever the flames touch the monster birds, they instantly turn into fireballs? And in less than three seconds, they turn to ashes and scatter in the air, only to be hit by other monster birds.

“Xiao Linzi!”

Xia Hongyao led a group of cannibal crows over.

As they passed each other, in the instant when the cannibal crows collided, Lin Baici turned around and released his divine power.

The night rain of life, the wild Buddha blows out the lamp!

Whoosh!

The life fire of the cannibal crows was extinguished, and one by one, they suddenly dropped dead and fell to the ground.

Bang! Bang! Bang!If Guo Zheng’s mass killing caused bodies to fall like dumplings, then Lin Baici’s mass killing was a hailstorm disaster.

Flocks of man-eating crows fell, and in the blink of an eye, a thick layer was spread on the ground, like a luxurious black feather carpet.

“…”

Fang Wen’s mouth was wide open, his eyes almost popping out.

Who am I?

Where am I?

What did I just see?

Fang Wen was a bit dazed, rubbing his eyes subconsciously.

Did a Buddha’s shadow appear behind Lin Baici? And for a moment, it seemed like it rained? Then the solemn Buddha’s shadow blew a breath, and those terrifying bird monsters that liked to eat human brains and livers were instantly killed in large numbers?

Oh my goodness!

Is this a divine hunter?

This is absolutely outrageous!

Are you guys still human?

“President Wang, you better be careful!”

Fang Wen knew Wang Mingfu’s character well, he would definitely scheme against Lin Baici. Now it seems that if Wang Mingfu dares to do it, he is courting death!

“You guys continue to drive away the man-eating crows, I’m going to look around elsewhere!”

Lin Baici left.

Staying here all the time wouldn’t gather much information.

Lin Baici moved at the fastest speed, weaving through this strange forest. Occasionally, man-eating crows swooped down to peck at him.

Thwack! Thwack! Thwack!

The clay figures shot stones, not missing a single shot.

One by one, the man-eating crows with broken heads fell, paving a path of death behind Lin Baici.

At first, Lin Baici only wandered around where there were man-eating crows. After running for two minutes, he suddenly had a thought and began to check places where there were no bird monsters.

After Lin Baici left, the pressure on Gu Rongjie and the others increased greatly.

At this time, without Lin Baici’s protection, the gap in individual abilities became apparent.

Like Gu Rongjie, she had long discovered that attacking the man-eating crows would provoke their retaliation and mad attacks, so she only killed two or three at most, just to show that she wasn’t slacking off.

Du Xin also noticed this, but she was timid and only lured one.

People like Zhou Ya and the other dozen or so girls were rather mediocre.

Under Lin Baici’s protection, they had become somewhat lax, relying entirely on him, not observing or gathering information on their own. So now, because they were driving away the man-eating crows, they had attracted quite a few.

Zhou Ya had it the worst. She wanted to perform well and not be looked down upon by Lin Baici. But as a result, she attracted eighteen man-eating crows.

She was instantly in a life-or-death situation.
