Chapter 145: The Unscientific Desiccated Corpse Inside the Coffin

Sahara Desert, City of the Dead, Hamunaptra.

The scorching sun hung high in the sky; at this moment, it was exactly noon.

The weather was unbearably hot, even the camel bells sounded listless.

In front of a stone gate at the center of the city ruins, over a dozen hired workers, under the direction of a middle-aged man holding an umbrella, were clearing the debris blocking the gate's passage.

On the other side of the ruins, O'Connell and Jonathan were also under Evelyn's finger.

After returning to the villa, Ye Ning simply stir-fried a few dishes and called Lan Luoxue down to eat; during the meal, Lan Luoxue remained absent-minded, looking preoccupied.

Biyu said nothing more; she always kept a cold face, not uttering a single unnecessary word to him.

Indeed, it's unlikely for two people to have the same appearance and name; moreover, their birthmarks are identical in shape and position.

"Hmph, one-sided affection? Dare you say you never felt any liking or emotion for Han Junyu? Not even a bit?" Cheng Yiben stared at her with a piercing gaze, pressing his intense scrutiny upon her.

Bystanders found it hard to watch; the lesson was overly harsh, yet no one dared to speak up—a beggar in the freezing winter might have frozen to death that day, and it wasn't worth offending someone who looks impossible to provoke just for him.

First, some flour was found, placed in a basin, water added, and kneaded into a dough of suitable softness and hardness, then covered with a damp towel to rise.

Red Pill also told me that tomorrow I could just run a couple of laps to warm up; spending all my time on strength training would be more suitable for him.

Bai Biqin was startled upon hearing that, exchanged a glance with her husband, realized something, and could only abandon her plan.

With an "uh," Jian Mo instinctively covered her mouth and hurriedly got up to run upstairs.

"They're all like that." Pang Tong refused to yield at all. In this stalemate, Xueyue seemed wanting to act as a peacemaker to say something, but he felt Pang Tong had surely worked out the whole plan, so it'd be better to let him meddle himself.

At this moment, Mingxi glanced at Ye Sha Mo Bai, still speaking in a flat, languid tone.

Su Mu Bai slowly released the right foot pedal; the mech, which had been slowly advancing, began to halt, then started to turn, its center of gravity shifting as if it might tilt and topple.

Just like the coordinated strike that earlier knocked out Luwu, the scorching flames, aided by the gusts, burned ever more fiercely, and in a moment the beard on the ferocious face of the towering Li Zhu was scorched clean.

"What!" Upon hearing this, the Heavenly Sage Daoist and several elders were utterly shocked, as if suddenly struck heavily, they froze; looks of worry immediately appeared on their faces. The Heavenly Sage Daoist said: "In that case, that great demon lord has emerged, and the heavenly realm will fall into the calamity of demons running rampant."

Meanwhile, Li Ang, who was silently counting the gunshots from the three people's Type 5-4 pistols, couldn't help but mutter to himself: "What a rare oddball—how is this a 'ghost'? It's clearly a 'monster'! Lingering souls causing harm are 'ghosts'; spirit energy animating corpses are 'monsters'. Getting such basic things wrong—how can that be acceptable?"

"Thank you." After Ge Shalan woke up, she naturally understood that Liu Yan had saved her, and so she simply expressed her thanks.

The owner of that hand, with perfect yet cold-looking features, continued to gaze at her expressionlessly.

The Heavenly Sage Daoist and the several elders exchanged a glance, a flicker of question in their eyes, secretly feeling that the medicine Yun Junfeng sought might just be their Shu Mountain Sect's priceless treasure, the Nine‑Life Rebirth Pill.

But just as Sun Fengzhao took another step further into the chamber, this iron‑clad ghost attendant suddenly lifted its head. Within the helmet, whose face could not be seen, a strange Red Light flickered.

Gu Ding could not give a specific ranking, for he also did not know how strong the top‑hundred individuals on the Superior List actually were; he could only use Ruipisite as a reference.
