Chapter 1190: Deepening
Since the destruction of the Golden Triangle drug trafficking group within Myanmar, the Heaven and Earth Mercenary Corps has suffered a severe blow, yet Zhao Yuntao, the head of the Heaven and Earth Mercenary Corps, has disappeared without a trace.
There were rumors he had died, and others said he was seen elsewhere, but Ling Feng spent a lot of time in secret yet still couldn't find him.
Actually, Ling Feng wanted to ask for help from the Eye of God, but he really didn't want to see Talabova, so the matter remained at a standstill. However, Ling Feng never forgot the person Bai Feifei most wanted to kill!
"No problem, just a mere Zhao Yuntao, our Glory Mercenary Group doesn't take him seriously!" Mark said earnestly upon hearing Ling Feng's words.
"Thank you very much!" Ling Feng said to the somewhat fatigued trio, "I see you are also quite tired, why don't you come with us, and after we get out of this Great Desolate Valley, we can each take our own path, how about that?"
The three from the Glory Mercenary Group exchanged a glance, a trace of unrestrainable joy in their eyes.
After entering the Atlantis Continent, they ended up in this vast desert, having traveled for four days. On the second day, they were attacked by Desert Worms and didn't escape them for three entire days. Now, they were almost at the end of their rope.
"If that's really possible, we would be very grateful!" Mark said gratefully, "To be honest, we really don't have full confidence in being able to get out of here!"
Ling Feng merely smiled; his invitation was not due to a sudden burst of kindness. On one hand, the strength of these three was indeed quite good, and if they encountered any danger, they would have an additional force to deal with it. On the other hand, Ling Feng was also genuinely worried they wouldn't make it out, and if they died in the Great Desolate Valley, wouldn't all his previous efforts be wasted?
More importantly, Ling Feng was absolutely confident he could suppress these three! Whether in terms of overall strength or individual prowess, the people of the Glory Mercenary Group were no match for Ling Feng and his team, so Ling Feng invited them without fear of being ambushed by them.
"That's fine, I have some companions not far from here, who I think you'll definitely recognize!" Ling Feng said as he smiled slightly and led them back to the Bright Saintess's side.
When the two sides met, both were quite surprised! The relationship between the Glory Mercenary Group and the Papal Court of Light was neither good nor bad, but both had to admit the other's formidable strength.
Although the strength of the Bright Saintess was only at the A-level peak, the five Demi-God Domain Knights of Light behind her caused the three of the Glory Mercenary Group to gape in amazement. Truly worthy of being a thousand-year-old entity; their foundation was indeed above ordinary forces!
At the same time, they valued Ling Feng's standing even more. Previously, they only sensed Ling Feng's strength, but now they directly perceived his powerful network and influence!
Because they had never heard of the Papal Court of Light collaborating with others, let alone its Saintess teaming up with a man from Huaxia!
"It seems once we get out, we'll have to properly fulfill our promise to Ling Feng!" Mark thought to himself.
Since Ling Feng's Devil's Ring had a lot of supplies, he allowed everyone to have a good meal first.
Only after eating did they begin to consider how to traverse the Great Desolate Valley.
"Although we have a map, we still lack the most crucial direction guide!" the Bright Saintess said, "If we go on aimlessly like this, we really might get lost in the Great Desolate Valley, and... the air above this valley is laced with highly corrosive toxic gas, so flying is not suitable either."
Ling Feng said solemnly, "The Bright Saintess is right, do any of you have a good solution?"
Ling Feng's gaze turned to Mark and the others. Mark hesitated for a moment before speaking, "As mercenaries, we often go in and out of various desert areas to perform missions, and usually, the way to find direction is by using the sun, but here..."
Mark gave a wry smile, "This Atlantis Continent does have light like the outside world, but there's no sun, so that method won't work!"
Everyone was stumped too; with no sun, no vegetation, and no other visible markers, they were indeed likely to get lost here.
Ling Feng smiled slightly, "It seems once we solve the problem of orientation, getting out shouldn't be difficult! Little Gold, how about I leave this to you?"
In fact, before entering the Great Desolate Valley, Little Black had quietly informed Ling Feng that the Golden Horned Beast had a magical ability to find direction in the dark underground, so if they wanted to pass through the valley, the Golden Horned Beast's power was essential!
Ling Feng didn't want to reveal this card to everyone as the situation was special and he couldn't let others know all his trump cards. Not to mention the new three from the Glory Mercenary Group, even Mona Lisa and the others, Ling Feng was somewhat cautious around.
Perhaps out of all these people, Xuanyuan Xia was the one Ling Feng trusted the most!
After determining the direction, the Golden Horned Beast led the group deeper into the Great Desolate Valley.
Perhaps because of Ling Feng's team's considerable power, although they encountered several desert storms along the way, they did not face any attacks from the Desert Worms, which eased everyone's minds slightly.
Though desert storms were fierce, they posed no danger to the Demi-God Domain experts present.
For three days and three nights, they traveled, and according to the progression on the map, they had covered about one-tenth the distance.
Despite only three days, they were all very exhausted; encountering desert storms at least three times a day would wear anyone out!
At night, the sky above the Great Desolate Valley was aglow with a cerulean hue, devoid of stars or clouds, making it appear like an isolated and self-contained world.
"Huh? What's that sound?" At this moment, Tama suddenly stood up, her gaze sharp as she stared into the distance.
"What's going on?" Ling Feng asked, "Is there another desert storm coming?"
"I heard a faint cry... but it disappeared in an instant!" Tama frowned, "But I feel uneasy, like something is approaching!"
"Could it be a Desert Worm?" Ling Feng asked, "Apart from Desert Worms in this Great Desolate Valley, we haven't seen any other creatures, right?"
"I don't know, but I have a bad feeling!" Tama said sternly, "Brother Ling Feng, we should leave here quickly!"
Ling Feng seriously asked, "Is it really dangerous?"
"It really is!" Tama said anxiously, "I'm an archer, and my intuition is quite sharp!"
Ling Feng nodded, "Everyone, get up immediately, we need to leave here!"
