"Has your hearing upgraded to the Second Rank?" Mingyi asked.
She clearly had no idea her character was starting to crumble a bit.
Wu Hen did not expose this, he just nodded and said, "It should be. Now I have a hearing level that roughly reaches the charm of elegance. Any slight noise in a small town can be instantly captured by me."
"What’s the charm of elegance?" Mingyi was full of question marks.
"It’s the Head-cutting Evil Spirit, a Desert Dust creature with exceptionally strong hearing that I encountered during my first entry into Otherworldly Dust. It instantly hunts down anything that makes a sound," Wu Hen explained.
"Oh, oh, if that’s the case, you can try using the Auditory Domain, and it might yield some unexpected abilities!" Mingyi nodded.
"I’ll give it a try." Wu Hen closed his eyes, focusing all his attention on his hearing.
When people close their eyes, their surroundings fall into chaos. However, in this chaos, Wu Hen could sense a ripple of sound emerging from various positions, like ripples on a still lake...
Behind, the sound of a moth flapping its wings, harmless.
At the treetop canopy, a powerful breathing sound, dangerous.
Far away on the Desert Dust land, a tsunami-like wave of sound, terrifying.
A hundred meters away, a little sky lark flew by, chirping joyfully.
This chirp became a very clear sound ripple, reaching Wu Hen.
For some reason, a thought entered Wu Hen’s mind: to grasp the source of this sound ripple with his consciousness!
"Whoosh!"
Suddenly, Wu Hen vanished from his spot!
Mingyi felt her vision blur, and in her peripheral vision, she saw Wu Hen appear a hundred meters away, right where the lark was!
A hand firmly grasped the lark’s wing...
Wu Hen himself was somewhat incredulous.
He glanced at where Mingyi stood, and then at the lark in his hand.
If this were a living person, and he held a sharp blade, he could likely behead them instantly!
"Sound Hunting Flash?? You’ve mastered the Head-cutting Sound Hunting Ghost’s ultimate skill!" Mingyi’s small, alluring mouth opened wide, round like a little goose egg.
Wu Hen walked back and casually released the little lark.
"Yes, amazing. I never thought Spiritual Sense could evolve into an ultimate skill..." Wu Hen was also greatly surprised.
With this ability, if anyone dared to insult him, he could directly use the Instant Shadow Beheading Slash!!
"Rumble, rumble~~~~~~~~~~~~~"
From afar in the Desert Dust, the tsunami-like sound became more and more distinct.
Wu Hen frowned.
He lifted his head and glanced at the tree trunk, noticing it was trembling slightly.
"Thud, thud, thud~"
Suddenly, above, countless core leaves flew up from the violently shaking branches, like a group of butterflies disturbed from their dreams, scattering in panic deeper into their refuge...
"Mingyi, something huge seems to be outside the thin realm!" Wu Hen had heard this earlier.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
Mingyi also sensed something wrong, so she looked into the distance.
Her eyes were extremely clear, as if they could reflect everything in the distant sky.
The enormous locust kingdom, still crawling, also paused before these firewood stone piles...
But the golden radiance had clear boundaries, and the Five-Colored Stones and firewood were very limited. Such resistance against the massive Dust Locust Mountain Range crashing down wasn’t very effective.
Helplessly, people had to retreat continuously.
Large swathes of the Five-Colored Pure Land were devoured, and some special mutant locusts had flown onto the Nuwa Divine Tree, starting to feast on the Core Leaf Butterflies!!
If the Core Leaf Butterflies represented a person in the homeland, the swathes of butterflies being devoured might indicate a terrible disaster syncing in the homeland??
In a flash, Wu Hen thought of the catastrophic disasters in the homeland that had claimed countless lives over the years.
And the thunderstorm that mysteriously vanished not long ago...
It seemed like after capturing Little Yi, the thunderstorm disaster in the homeland ceased completely!!
Could it be the thunderstorm disaster in the homeland was because Little Yi and the Nuwa God End were in the same Desert Dust world??
"Patrol, what are you waiting for? Check out what’s causing this evil insect rampage!" At this moment, a proud command echoed. It was a high-ranking official with a thick beard and a white hat.
"Going now would be sending us to our deaths," said a female patrol with one eye.
"That’s your duty!" The White Hat leader’s tone was stern.
Patrols and Guardians had started assembling on the soil battlefield, but their total didn’t reach a thousand.
This puzzled Wu Hen; was the vast Nuwa God End only inhabited by so few Spirit Awakeners?
Or was it that many were still exploring in the Desert Dust?
"Wu Hen, come here."
Mingyi led Wu Hen to a position nearest to a dune, where about six or seven people stood near the front firewood stone tower.
Wu Hen saw the man who had previously visited his home with Mingyi. He seemed to be the captain of this small team.
"Welcome to join us," Captain Qin Sheng greeted briefly, then said no more.
"Joining the patrol at this time, delaying the application form might let you live a few more days," said a pale, tall man.
"It’s fine, let him stay here; we’ll go in," Mingyi said.
After all, Wu Hen wasn’t yet an official member. In this terrifying insect world, even a team of Spirit Awakeners had a death rate exceeding sixty to seventy percent.
Wu Hen was hesitant too; this was a more terrifying existence than the Zai Wu Evil Soil. Ensuring survival was a huge question.
However, Wu Hen’s right hand had a different idea.
"Swoosh!"
Little Yi raised Wu Hen’s hand high without warning.
Seeing Wu Hen inexplicably raising his hand high, Mingyi’s team members gave him surprised and approving looks.
"Tut tut, Mingyi brought in a good guy, at least he’s got courage!"
"Except for us patrols, other Spirit Awakeners stay far away. Only those willing to join us patrols are true men!"
Wu Hen felt helpless too.
With his hand raised so high, he could only respond thoughtfully, "I’ll go in with the seniors; that’s how I’ll learn real skills."
Little Yi, you better not fool me.
There’s some big prey you want to reveal!
For that super protein, let’s pull off something big!!
