I, a prison guard in the Heavenly Prison, secretly became invincible thanks to the system.

The two exchanged a glance and tacitly refrained from asking any further questions.

The scarred man changed the subject and asked, "What do you think about the day shift tomorrow?"

Ye Kang thought for a moment and said, "We'll find out the commander's orders when we get there."

Aren't you afraid he has ulterior motives?

"It seems you know something."

Ye Kang glanced meaningfully at the scarred man, who didn't say anything, just smiled mysteriously and left alone.

the next morning.

The two met at the back of the tent on time.

The two of them were in alright condition, but the other four were in a terrible state. Their faces were as pale as paper, and their bodies were so thin that they looked like they had shrunk in size.

Ye Kang could tell at a glance that their vital energy had been almost completely drained by the energy-boosting pills.

If this situation continues, even a miracle won't save them.

At this moment, Lian Hulong came over with ten spearmen from yesterday, and Ma Tiandou followed behind, bowing and scraping.

Lian Hulong glanced at everyone and smiled, "Don't be nervous, everyone. This is an extra mission. If you do well, you will be rewarded."

Ye Kang suddenly raised his hand: "Commander, what is the mission?"

Instantly, everyone stared at him in astonishment.

How dare a corpse carrier ask such a question?

Who gave him the courage?

Ma Tiandou's face turned pale, and he roared, "You bastard! Shut your beak!"

Lian Hulong raised his hand, interrupting Ma Tiandou.

He squinted at Ye Kang and said with some appreciation, "Good question. It's time to tell you that scouts have reported discovering sand demons that have developed sentience. This kind of scourge cannot be allowed to grow. You only need to follow behind and be responsible for carrying the sand demon's corpse. You don't need to worry about anything else. Do you understand?"

Lian Hulong stared intently at Ye Kang, seemingly wanting to see the other party terrified by his imposing aura.

To his disappointment, Ye Kang simply nodded, his expression remaining unchanged.

This guy is interesting.

Lian Hulong smiled, waved his hand, and everyone flew out of the tent.

Ma Tiandou walked over, glared angrily at Ye Kang, and cursed him a hundred or a thousand times in his heart.

This pig-like bastard is incredibly audacious. If he angers the commander, he'll be in deep trouble too!

However, since the commander-in-chief said there was no problem, he couldn't teach Ye Kang a lesson again.

He could only warn them telepathically, "If there's a next time, I'll crush your head."

Ye Kang did not reply, nor did he show any fear on his face.

The group traveled swiftly across the land, and it took them a full three hours to finally reach their destination.

It was the ruins of a city, eroded by wind and sand, with only a few earthen walls remaining. The surrounding wind was relentless, whipping painfully against our faces.

Because of the perfected rules of the world they live in, the power of heaven and earth suppresses martial artists far beyond what Luofu fragments can achieve.

In this world of debris, the sandstorm had absolutely no effect on Ye Kang.

But here, the power of heaven and earth is stronger, and no matter how high his cultivation level is, he can clearly feel that he is being suppressed by heaven and earth.

Therefore, everyone frowned and covered half of their faces with scarves.

Soon, a thin man wearing a short yellow cloak flew over.

"Greetings, Commander. The terrain has been thoroughly scouted. There are at least a hundred intersecting tunnels within the Sand City ahead. It originally belonged to a Sand Wolf, but it has now been taken over by that demon."

Lian Hulong released his divine sense to examine the area carefully, then asked, "Besides these?"

"Reporting to the commander, three days ago, Commander Shi led men to investigate this place, but did not take any action against that demon."

"Heh, Shi Motong is so hesitant and indecisive. Even when an opportunity is right in front of her, she doesn't dare to make a move. If it weren't for the one-eyed person on her side telling me, I wouldn't have known that the sand demon actually possesses a treasure."

Lian Hulong chuckled wickedly, his eyes gleaming with greed.

Ye Kang was startled upon hearing this.

It turned out that Shi Motong had encountered him by chance after exploring the sand city.

That one-eyed man was indeed a traitor; he actually turned around and told the information to someone else.

The reason why Shi Motong didn't take action is not hard to guess.

She is kind-hearted and probably wasn't confident, feeling that acting recklessly would kill the people in her team.

Lian Hulong, on the other hand, clearly did not have this concern.

Sure enough, Hu Long looked at Ma Tiandou and said, "Let your men go in first."

"what!"

Ma Tiandou and the other corpse carriers looked up in terror.

Ye Kang looked around and saw that the soldiers all had wicked smiles on their faces, arms crossed, watching this scene with amusement.

Clearly, Hu Long had this plan from the beginning: to use the corpse carriers as cannon fodder, since they were just expendable resources and could die easily.

Scarface and Ye Kang's expressions froze, while the other four were trembling with fear and shaking their heads frantically.

After a moment of stunned silence, Ma Tiandou turned around and roared at the men carrying the corpse, "Can't you understand me! Get in there and clear the way!"

"We are corpse carriers, not demon slayers..."

"A corpse carrier said, trembling."

The next second, a flying kick came over, and Ma Tiandou showed no mercy, shattering the speaker's teeth.

His face turned fierce, and he said menacingly, "This is an order. You have to do what I tell you to do. If anyone says another word, I'll crush their head."

Upon hearing this, the four dared not refute any further and could only tremble as they walked toward Sand City.

Ye Kang and Scarface didn't say a word, they just followed silently.

The scarred man transmitted his voice, "Do you believe me now? They have no good intentions."

"Since you knew that, why did you still come?"

"You're here too? Tell me, who sent you? Otherwise, I won't save you later."

"No comment."

Ye Kang had no comment; he was not sent by anyone.

Little Scarface didn't continue speaking, and the two tacitly distanced themselves from each other, afraid that the other would hold them back.

Under the watchful eyes of Lian Hulong, the six quickly entered the territory of Sand City.

Several dilapidated earthen walls strangely kept the wind and sand out.

After walking around and nothing happened, just as everyone breathed a sigh of relief, Lian Hulong suddenly grinned from a distance.

Ye Kang and Scarface both sensed something was wrong and quickly dodged away.

At the same time, Lian Hulong suddenly brandished his halberd, unleashing a powerful burst of air force that slammed into the earthen wall without hesitation.

This completely enraged the hidden danger. A roar rang out, and endless demonic energy suddenly erupted from the ground. While blocking the energy, flashes of cold light slit the throats of the four corpse carriers.

The four men didn't even have time to react before they saw a flash of cold light and then died.

Ye Kang and Scarface also sensed the terrifying killing intent at the same time. Fortunately, they ran fast and rushed to a corner to block the cold light.

But the murderous aura did not diminish at all; instead, it locked onto the two of them.

Just then, Lian Hulong shouted, "Form ranks!"

"Ouch!"

Ten spears thrust out simultaneously, and the ten men instantly formed a battle formation, with spear energies forming terrifying waves that swept across the battlefield.

A flash of blood appeared in the yellow sand.

Two lantern-sized eyes stared intently at Lian Hulong: "Human, you're asking for death."
