A bizarre scene.
As the teams that had gone out returned one after another, the camp gradually became lively.
The number of people who returned was significantly less than before they set off, and most of them were not happy, either covered in injuries or looking dejected.
The atmosphere at the camp was somewhat somber.
Xia Tianqiong was assigned a tent, and at this moment she sat with the Ghost Bride on the open ground in front of the tent, setting up a small campfire.
Grilling meat skewers and drinking spirit wine, they looked as relaxed as if they were on a picnic.
"Dude, you really know how to enjoy yourself!"
Fu Qing's cheerful voice rang out from not far away, and he strode over and sat down by the campfire as if they were old friends.
Then he stared intently at the wine jug in Xia Tianqiong's hand, sniffed it, and exclaimed, "Good wine!"
Xia Tianqiong and the Ghost Bride ate and drank by themselves, completely ignoring him.
Fu Qing didn't feel embarrassed and started talking on his own.
"I just went around asking around, and the other teams all suffered casualties and had very little to show for it, they can't compare to our team at all. Of course, it's all thanks to you, buddy, otherwise our team would be just as bad as the others."
He glanced at it and found that Xia Tianqiong still didn't seem to want to respond, which made him secretly disappointed.
Just then, a few people walked over from a distance, and everyone else automatically made way for them.
Summer Qiong seemed to sense something and turned to look.
They discovered that it was the two supervisors who had spoken in the sky earlier, followed by a meek and obedient Xiao Zijun.
Bai Shouyi was in a great mood after hearing Xiao Zijun's report.
A person who can continuously decipher bizarre rules is definitely a talent. Such a talent naturally needs to be recruited into one's family, so the family came to personally distribute the reward and also to see the person in person.
"So you're Dongtianfu?"
Although Bai Shouyi wore a smile, he exuded an air of authority that came from someone who had long held a high position.
Xia Tianqiong didn't react yet, but Fu Qing quickly stood up and obediently stepped aside.
Seeing that Xia Tianqiong was still sitting there steadily, he secretly waved his hand and whispered a reminder: "Get up quickly! This is the supervisor!"
Xiao Zijun also blinked repeatedly from the side.
Xia Tianqiong pretended not to see it and simply replied, "I'm Dong Tianfu, is there something you need?"
Bai Shouyi didn't take it to heart, but instead carefully examined Xia Tianqiong.
"Captain Xiao told me that you have cracked several bizarre rules and are a rare talent. I came here specifically to see you and to give you a reward."
"Thank you then."
Xia Tianqiong replied indifferently, and anyone could tell that he didn't care about the so-called reward.
Bai Shouyi's smile remained unchanged as he continued, "Would you be interested in joining my Bai family? My Bai family is one of the founding families that established Xinglian."
"No, I'm very satisfied with my current situation."
"Geniuses all have their pride, which I understand. If you ever come to your senses, feel free to come find me."
Bai Shouyi maintained a smile throughout, but his eyes turned cold.
With a casual wave of his hand, more than a dozen strange artifacts and objects fell to the ground as a reward for Xia Tianqiong.
After doing all that, he turned and left.
Xiao Zijun glared at Xia Tianqiong with a look of disappointment and frustration, then followed him away.
After walking a distance, he said with a forced smile, "Manager Bai, this man has a rather strange temperament, but he's really capable."
Bai Shouyi glanced at him and smiled indifferently.
"Even if someone with talent is ungrateful, they can only ever be a low-level worker and will never amount to anything. Since they're content with their current situation, let them work for us for the rest of their lives!"
Xiao Zijun nodded repeatedly. He didn't care about his supervisor's attitude towards Xia Tianqiong; he was just afraid it would affect him.
The matter was dropped, and for the rest of the day, the sky in the eerie scene was covered by a sea of fire, which was extremely spectacular.
The ghost hunters stayed in the camp and dared not venture into the city to explore.
The sky finally returned to normal the next day, and the ghost hunters once again entered the small town to explore.
The camp suddenly became deserted, with only a small number of guards remaining.
Cui Lingxi entered Bai Shouyi's tent and saw that he looked worried. "What's wrong? What's troubling you?"
Bai Shouyi sighed, "I just received another message from the family. Things are very unsettled outside. Seven or eight towns are losing contact every day. It has now been confirmed that it was Xia Tianqiong who did it, and the other party is suspected of having a ghost general."
Cui Lingxi was startled. "If he really has a treacherous general, we shouldn't have provoked him. He has the ability to wipe us out."
"Alas! Now it's not a question of whether we should provoke him or not, but that he refuses to let us go. It's one thing that Xinglian was wiped out, but all the members of our ancient family in various places have been killed, not a single one has been spared."
"Why does he hate us so much? We haven't offended him!"
"Who knows? I'm worried he might suddenly show up here, and then we won't even have a chance to run away."
Bai Shouyi paced back and forth inside the tent, his face full of worry.
Cui Lingxi also frowned, her pretty face full of worry.
Bai Shouyi suddenly noticed something unusual and stared blankly at Cui Lingxi's beautiful face, "Your appearance has recovered? You're even more beautiful than before."
Upon hearing this, Cui Lingxi finally smiled.
"Xiao Zijun brought back a lot of clay for shaping. This time he was well prepared and finally restored the appearance. He even took the opportunity to beautify it a bit."
She was already beautiful, but she had applied clay to her face to try and create a more exquisite face.
As a result, I forgot the time while sculpting the face, and the clay's shaping effect ended halfway through, so it looked extremely ugly, and there were even fingerprints on the face.
Xiao Zijun's eagerness to collect clay for shaping was also to please her. This time, having learned from his previous experience, he finally managed to sculpt a stunningly beautiful face.
