I will burn books and slay gods.

Old Hou did not directly explain to Old Li who these "big names" were.

Instead, he left Lao Li with a question, and then, led by Lao Hou, they walked into the parking lot, where a white SUV was parked in front of them.

At this moment, Old Li patted Old Hou on the back and teased, "You little rascal, you've got some skills, haven't you! Driving such a nice car."

Before Old Li could finish speaking, Old Hou handed him the car keys. "Old Li, you can drive it, right?"

"I'm not driving. My back is about to fall apart from sitting on planes all the time," Old Li said as he walked, pretending to rub his back. He then casually opened the passenger side door. "You drive, you know the way."

Old Hou, seeing Old Li like this, was speechless. He opened the driver's side door and said to Old Li, "You really are still the same. You haven't changed at all. You're still so childish."

Old Li, as if he had been predicted, smiled at Old Hou.

Then, Lao Hou turned to the three people standing at the front of the car and said, "You three can sit in the back. Remember to put your luggage in the trunk."

Immediately afterwards, Lao Hou got into the driver's seat, and Lao Li got into the passenger seat.

Similarly, Chen Ye and the other two placed their luggage in the trunk, closed the trunk again, sat in the back seat in an orderly manner, and closed the doors on both sides of the car.

"The three in the back, remember to buckle your seatbelts, be careful." Old Hou then immediately looked at Old Li, "And you, Old Li, remember to buckle your seatbelt!"

As the vehicle started, the engine roared, and under Lao Hou's command, the car drove out of the parking space and out of the parking lot, heading northwest along the road.

"How long will it take us to drive to Gangdu?" Old Li asked.

"It's quite close," Lao Hou replied. "It will take about an hour."

"That distance isn't too far; we'll arrive in no time."

As the vehicle left the city and entered a desert road, Chen Ye, sitting by the window, looked out.

Outside, there was only an endless desert, like a no-man's land. There wasn't a single person in sight, not even a single living creature.

At this moment, Lao Hou, who was sitting in the driver's seat, was watching Chen Ye's every move through the rearview mirror.

"Old Li, these three kids, were they really sent by headquarters?" Old Hou asked. "Could this be some 'hidden goods' you smuggled in without reporting them?"

After hearing Lao Hou's question, Lao Li gave him a sharp look.

"Would I lie to you?"

"Are you aware of what happened at headquarters a few months ago?"

Upon hearing this, Old Hou's eyes lit up instantly. "You know about this too? I really didn't expect that even headquarters would be in danger!"

"That's because you don't know enough," Old Li explained. "The three people sitting in the back row are the top contributors to this battle. Think about it, they definitely have the ability."

When Lao Hou heard this explanation, he was filled with disbelief. "Really? You're not kidding me, are you, Lao Li?"

"Am I that kind of person?" Old Li asked in astonishment.

"I think so," Old Hou said jokingly, looking Old Li up and down with his eyes.

Inside the car, the two men's laughter filled the entire space, while the three people in the back remained silent.

Just then, the surrounding scenery began to become visibly blurry, with sand and dust blowing everywhere, making visibility increasingly poor.

Upon seeing this, Lao Hou immediately slammed on the brakes, bringing the car to a sudden stop on the road. The four people in the back seat and the front passenger seat, who didn't have time to react, were thankfully wearing seatbelts, which prevented them from being thrown out!

However, the sudden braking caught all four of them off guard.

At this moment, with no visible reference points around the off-road vehicle, it was as if it were trapped in an inaccessible maze.

As Lao Hou began to carefully observe the situation in front of him, just as he was concentrating on his examination, suddenly, a huge body appeared from his blurry vision and then suddenly disappeared.

But, in that instant, did you know who it was?

"Old Li! Outside is the Tower Kingdom, where the Nightmare species that frequently appears is the Scorching Sand Throat!"

When Old Li heard Old Hou describe the Nightmare species, he instantly realized and exclaimed in shock, "That's a level six Nightmare!"

"But judging from his size, he must be at least a level seven," Old Hou recounted. "After all, a level six person wouldn't be this massive!"

When Lin Su heard the two people in front of her describe the Nightmare in front of her as being at an astonishing level seven!

"Level seven!" Lin Su exclaimed in astonishment. "Isn't that the Nightmare, which only those at the Lamp Array Realm can rival?"

Chen Ye looked puzzled. He didn't know what kind of powerful expert a level seven Nightmare was.

But then he heard Lin Su's surprised voice.

To Chen Ye's surprise, this enormous creature in front of him actually required a Night Keeper at the Lamp Array Realm to rival it!

The off-road vehicle swayed precariously in the powerful storm, as if it might overturn in no time.

The people inside the SUV weren't unaware of the need to fight back; rather, apart from Chen Ye, none of the others present could inflict any effective damage on him.

In this violent storm, Lin Su's elements were completely useless, and even if she wanted to offer help, she couldn't guarantee the stability and release of the flames.

As for Lao Hou, who shared the same belief as Lin Su, there's no need to say more. Although he was also an elemental being, his element was sandstorm, which shared the same origin as the desert.

They are currently facing this powerful sandstorm, not to mention that Lao Hou is releasing his elemental phase. If they cannot control it in time, the damage may become even worse!

Of the five people in the SUV, perhaps only Chen Ye's abilities are truly useful.

But with so many eyes watching, he couldn't leave to do what he wanted, which was also to avoid revealing his identity.

As the SUV shook more violently, everyone inside became increasingly worried.

Just then, Sanhua conveyed a message to Chen Ye, "Master, you can use your ability to knock them unconscious first."

When Sanhua's idea suddenly came to mind, it reminded Chen Ye.

"Yeah! How come I didn't think of that?"

Then, Chen Ye looked at everyone, struggling to maintain his balance due to the violent shaking of the off-road vehicle, while no one was paying attention to him.

Suddenly, Chen Ye snapped his fingers inside the SUV!

The snap of the fingers seemed to possess a magical power; the moment the four heard it, their heads began to feel dizzy, and within seconds, they all fell asleep.

Seeing the four of them in this state, Chen Ye apologized, "I'm sorry everyone, I don't have any other choice. Please get some sleep first, and leave the rest to me!"

Then, Chen Ye opened the car door and slammed it shut.

Facing the storm, I slowly walked to the front of the off-road vehicle, my eyes fixed firmly on the storm.

Level 7 Nightmare - Thick Sands!
