Chapter Ninety-Five: The Sunset Nation's Private Jet

Wang Hui’s eyes began to radiate an uncanny light, and the entire desert seemed to tremble in response.

The next second, the blazing sun overhead abruptly turned blood-red, replaced by a crimson moon.

With the Desert God’s energy no longer interfering, the red moon over the land of the dunes awakened once more...

Within that endless waste, a strange wind rose, kicking up wave after wave of sandstorms, even blowing out countless corpses that had long been buried beneath the dunes.

The entire process lasted a long while before it finally came to an end.

When everything settled again, Xiao Zi asked, “How do you feel now?”

Wang Hui stared at his own hands in shock, then in a flash drew the gun at his waist and fired into the distance.

At once, the bullet burst from the barrel with tremendous force and shot away like a streak of light.

Wherever it passed, the desert was carved into a vast trough.

Seen from above, it looked just like a river that had long since run dry.

“So... this is the power of a god!”

To be honest, Xiao Zi was also deeply shaken.

He had known before that the agent was an absurdly broken existence, but he had never imagined it would be this broken.

In such a short time, it had actually turned an ordinary, good-for-nothing man into someone this powerful.

Still, he also knew that the human body could not fully harmonize with divine power from the very beginning; there had to be a process of adjustment.

Just as the agent who had helped him before once said, Zhang Chenyang seemed to have trained with divine power since childhood, which was how he had unleashed such overwhelming strength.

It seemed Wang Hui still had a long road ahead of him.

“Boss, where are we going now?”

Xiao Zi did not answer Wang Hui, but instead said inexplicably, “Do you know the God of the Ocean? If there’s a God of the Desert, there should be a God of the Ocean too, right?”

Through the Blood Fiend Eye, he could see that the Desert God’s energy was still nearby, only fading away at a frightening pace.

Sure enough, the Desert God used the last of the energy around him to answer from afar, “The ocean? I remember he is in the west...”

The voice cut off abruptly. He was probably gone for good.

Before Xiao Zi could speak again, Wang Hui was the first to say, “The west... that should be the Sunset Kingdom, the White Flag Country, and the countries around them.”

Indeed, although Blue Star was round, countries like the Sunset Kingdom and the White Flag Country were generally referred to as the West, and that was clearly what the Desert God had meant.

At the thought of this, Xiao Zi licked his lips and returned to the Desert Temple.

There was still one thing here that concerned him greatly: the dragon egg Iron Pillar and the others had taken earlier.

On the surface, the dragon egg looked no different from an egg with a few extra patterns and a slightly larger body, but through the Blood Fiend Eye, Xiao Zi could detect a faint aura of something strange and alive inside it.

That meant there was a living being within this egg, and it was very possible that it might truly hatch into a little dragon... or at the very least, some kind of dragonkin.

Xiao Zi was very interested in that sort of thing.

A subordinate who had been with him since birth would be absolutely loyal. If he could nurture it properly, it might prove crucial someday.

Aside from the dragon egg, Xiao Zi also searched the bodies of the three spirit tamers who had already died.

In the end, he obtained several bills of the Sunset Kingdom, one signal flare gun, and a pile of utterly useless junk.

Those three were agents of the Sunset Kingdom, so it was only normal for them to have Sunset Kingdom currency. But what was the signal flare gun for?

“If only I’d left one alive to ask,” he muttered regretfully.

After that, he stored everything useful in the system space, then utterly razed the place.

There had indeed been plenty of good things inside, but after looking through them with the Blood Fiend Eye, he found that they were all tools meant to deal with strange beings. He had no use for such things, nor could he let anyone else use them, so he might as well destroy everything.

All in all, this trip to the land of the dunes had been extremely rewarding. Not only had it turned Wang Hui into the Desert God’s agent, it had also given him the life essence of three A-rank spirit tamers, enough to raise three of his skills to level four.

After careful thought, he chose Super Perception, Blood Fury, and Spirit Shadow.

All three were immensely important skills, and all deserved priority.

Super Perception needed no further explanation. It could let him guard against danger before it came, prevent him from being ambushed to death, and allow him to detect the enemy’s position and information in advance. Extremely important.

Blood Fury was basically a cheat, allowing his combat power to rise again and again. It was essential for his ability to challenge beyond his rank, so it had to be upgraded first.

As for Spirit Shadow, there was no need to say much about it. It was the perfect skill for a sneaky operator. As long as its level was high enough, he could hide in the shadows and remain undetectable, then strike suddenly and catch his enemies completely off guard.

Now he possessed four level-four skills. Those four were truly terrifyingly strong, and he also had several level-three skills, along with three rule-level skills of absurd power. At this point, he was so strong that even he found himself afraid.

Once he completed the system quest and reached the A-rank, he would be unstoppable.

Just then, Wang Hui noticed the signal flare gun in Xiao Zi’s hand.

“What’s that?”

Xiao Zi glanced at the flare gun. “How did I end up taking this junk out?” With that, he tossed it to the ground. “Try firing it into the sky and see if you can call down a super airdrop.”

Wang Hui, intrigued, picked up the flare gun. “So this is what a flare gun looks like.” He extended his arm and fired at the sky.

Bang!

After the shot rang out, the entire sky was lit red once more.

A signal flare blazed brilliantly in the heavens before falling back down, but a strange mark remained in the sky, refusing to fade for a long time.

“I didn’t expect this thing to be so powerful. The thing it fires is pretty nice to look at too.”

While Xiao Zi was admiring the dazzling display, his Super Perception seemed to catch onto something.

He turned toward a direction in the sky. “Oh? It actually drew something over.”

In the distance, a Sunset Kingdom helicopter was flying rapidly toward Xiao Zi’s position.

“It’s the signal marker of those three agents. They probably completed their mission.”

Inside the aircraft, the two pilots wore smiles. Seeing that marker meant they could finally go home, so the helicopter’s speed had unconsciously increased.

But when they reached the target location, they found the ground below completely empty. Nothing was there.

“My heavens, where on earth did those three guys run off to?”

The pilot in the driver’s seat had barely finished complaining when the one beside him suddenly shuddered, and a flash of red light passed through his eyes in an instant.

“Maybe something unexpected happened. Let’s go first.”

“Go? Are you kidding? If we leave without bringing anyone back, who knows what we’ll be put through?”

At that moment, the co-pilot stared fixedly at the pilot in the driver’s seat. “Those three idiots ran into trouble. We need to go back now, understand?”

A moment later, the pilot’s gaze went dull, and he slowly nodded.

“Yes, yes... we need to go back.”

And so, a helicopter carrying a most malevolent wraith made its way swaggeringly toward the Sunset Kingdom.
