Hearing the loud cacophony of screeching sounds, the tourists felt their hearts skipping a beat. Despite feeling the urge to go on the run and escape immediately, they forced their fear down and waited for the expert’s verdict.

As one, all of them including Clark turned their head to look at the lady mercenary and Mr. Sandstorm to get a word from them.

The lady mercenary now had a serious expression on her face as she let her mechanical drone go forward to scout. For Mr. Sandstorm, the local simply leaned closer to the sandy walls and listened.

Screech! Screech!

As the screeching sounds increased in volume, his face suddenly clouded over as he seemed to have detected something. Despite this, he didn’t say a thing yet as he waited for the mercenary to give her verdict.

The lady mercenary was silent. While listening to get clues, she watched the holographic projection that was before her sternly to see the enemies.

    At the front of the escaping expedition team, the lady mercenary and Mr. Sandstorm only noticed the commotion when the petite lady was already submerged by the desert scorpions. None of them had much of a reaction to it, but they had different thoughts in their minds about what exactly happened. For the lady mercenary, as she already clashed with her before, she was pretty sure that it was virtually impossible for such a cunning gold-digger to be so easily submerged in the horde. Her eyes narrowed on coming to this conclusion. Despite the suspicions in her heart, she did not stop her actions to go confirm as she knew that tiding through this horde was the priority. She lashed her whip again at the desert scorpions pushing their way towards her, while her sword attacked even faster at them. In the middle of the team, the tourists were exposed to even more danger after the petite lad was submerged by the horde, directly increasing the danger those in the back faced. Despite this, t

She was the tourist who suffered the first attack from the desert scorpions.Right now, her leg already turned a shade of eerie purple while the veins all over her body were now purple.

    With a smile on his face, Clark wiped the blood away from his sword before going to meet his old friend. He bumped Arthur on the shoulder, unfortunately, Arthur simply replied him with a poker look on his face. Clark laughed awkwardly at that while secretly cursing under his breath. “You’re still so stiff…, umm, you still use a spear as your main weapon?” “Yes”. Arthur answered simply. “You are now a 3rd rank high-grade soldier?” He asked in return. “Yes, it’s obvious”. Clark replied back with a smile. “When?” “What?” “When did you break through to the 3rd rank?” “I’m not sure again, but I think a few months ago”. Arthur took a deep breath like he secretly heaved a sigh of relief, then his face became poker again. “I broke through before you”. “…” Now, Clark was speechless, feeling a strong urge to facepalm. “Really bro?

    CHAPTER 465: IT FEELS NICE TO BE BACK.

    Among the 3 Pirate Gods in the Sahara, though none of them never publicly claimed the spot as the strongest, the Black Pirate God was the one most recognized by pirates as the strongest. After him was the powerful Red Goddess Pirate, then the Lilac Pirate God. Compared to the first 2, the Lilac Pirate God was on the more glaringly weaker side but he still had the strength to back his title. At this moment, in the Black God Pirate City, a surprising piece of news was being circulated. Pirate Queen Anamel was dead, and Pirate Queen Cobra was secretly a student of the Red Goddess. Not only that, the most shocking piece of news that took the city by storm was that of Pirate Queen Cobra’s intention to leave the Sahara and settle in normal human settlements outside. … “Is this news verified?” A deep voice asked with suppressed anger in an underground room with far better living conditions than most of the others out there in the desert. “Yes

    Though they both wanted to just remain in each other’s embrace forever, Clark and Sonia knew that they were still in a pirate city and what it meant. With reluctance, they quickly left the city with Arthur.Even if they tried to cover it up, it was impossible so they didn’t bother. In minutes, the news of Pirate Queen Anamel’s death spread through the pirate city and beyond.For long, Clark has always been worried about his reaction when he finally saw Sonia again but he was surprised when he did. It was like they never separated; it was like they’ve lived through all these years together.15 minutes later, they got sufficiently far away into the desert from the pirate city so they finally had the time to speak things out.Sonia brought out the stolen pistol first, which Clark handed over to Arthur. After this, she finally started detailing her encounters after Clark asked.According to her, after the fierce battle on her fa

    CHAPTER 463: RE-UNION.

    While Arthur asked the pirate, Clark already went to work as he closed his eyes to focus. As experienced soldiers, they already put a lot of contingencies in place during their tour around the pirate city.Even if they wanted to catch some fun, it was too unrealistic for them to just keep touring without setting anything in place.With his implant, Clark immediately accessed the hidden cameras that they placed around the city, most especially this bar. It didn’t take him long; he saw a hooded female going out through the bar’s back door.“Found our target”.While muttering to Arthur, Clark already turned to storm out of the bar. Arthur simply knocked the 2 pirates out before storming out also.In seconds, they were out of the bar’s main structure.…A few meters away from the bar, a hooded lady walked through the streets at a leisure pace as she kept a close but alert eye on her surroundings.<

    CHAPTER 462: WHERE IS THE PISTOL?

    The next day, Clark and Arthur woke up with the intention to remain patient while waiting for their informant to contact them. They didn’t even go into the pirate city, it was too disgusting for them to stay in it. The more Clark felt this way, the more he feared what his girlfriend may have become now. If just a day staying in it could make him this irritated, he just couldn’t imagine what staying here for 4 years could have done. Thinking of this, he felt guilty again. “Why didn’t I come earlier?” Souring his mood with such thoughts, the day moved extremely slowly to him. Perhaps, having noticed his current mood, Arthur didn’t disturb him and opted to go out hunting alone. When he came back, he had a desert antelope with him. Seeing the catch, Clark was left speechless. “Can we finish that?” Arthur wasn’t fazed by his question. “If we can’t finish it today, we’ll just finish it tomorrow or the next. Don’t worry, I have preservation gadgets with me, and besides, your girlfriend
