Lin Yang nodded slightly, his eyes as deep as the sea: "I guess this is just a puppet, a puppet being controlled by someone."
Hu Bayi's expression turned serious:
"Puppets? So, our every move has been part of someone else's scheme?"
Fatty Wang waved his hand angrily:
"Damn it, I've had a problem with this old guy for a long time."
"So he's been plotting against us all along!"
Lin Yang shifted his gaze from An Liman's corpse.
He glanced around at the surrounding desert and slowly began to speak:
“Anliman must have some special relationship with this desert.”
Professor Chen and Hao Aiguo, among others, also realized that something was amiss.
They gathered around, a hint of doubt on Professor Chen's face:
"Comrade Xiaolin, what exactly is wrong with this Anliman?"
Before Lin Yang could speak, Fatty Wang interrupted and said:
"Is that even a question? Would my boss kill someone for no reason?"
"There's definitely something wrong with this old guy!"
Professor Chen smiled awkwardly: "We misunderstood you, Comrade Xiao Lin."
Lin Yang waved his hand: "The most important thing now is to get out of here."
His gaze fell upon the camels:
"These camels didn't move before because they were under Anliman's control."
"But now, they will definitely leave."
As he spoke, he walked over to a camel and gently kicked it.
Amazingly, the camel immediately stood up obediently.
Then the other camels followed suit.
"Everyone, quickly hop on the camels!"
Lin Yang pointed in a direction ahead:
"There's a shelter over there, let's go!"
As Lin Yang spoke, he took the lead on the journey ahead without hesitation.
The crowd followed closely behind, their trusting gazes fixed on Lin Yang.
It's unclear whether Anliman's death angered Hu Da, but the black sandstorm became even more violent.
The sandstorm swept everything away, as if it wanted to swallow the entire desert.
However, amidst the raging sandstorm, Lin Yang vaguely saw a pair of eyes.
Those eyes gleamed with an evil light, as if they came from the depths of hell.
He felt a chill run down his spine, realizing that this sandstorm was not an ordinary natural phenomenon, but rather something being manipulated behind the scenes.
After walking for a while, Lin Yang and his companions were surprised to find a camel with a hump and a snow-white body.
It walks gracefully through the desert, seemingly unaffected by the sandstorm.
However, when they tried to get closer, the white camel suddenly disappeared.
Soon, Lin Yang and his group arrived at the ruins of an ancient city.
The ruins have been eroded by wind and sand, leaving only broken walls and ruins, but they still exude an ancient and mysterious aura.
They found a house where they could take refuge and quickly settled in.
Once everyone was settled, Lin Yang said, "You all tidy up here first, I'm going out for a walk." He walked out of the large shelter.
He stood on a high point in the ancient city, overlooking the desert ravaged by sandstorms.
His gaze then fell upon another room.
Chapter 77: A group of adorably silly monsters in the desert!
Lin Yang's figure streaked across the night sky like a bolt of lightning.
They rushed toward the seemingly peaceful house.
Outside, the wind howled, mingling with the anxious voices of people talking.
"This black storm just won't stop, when will it ever end?" a voice sighed.
“Who knows? Those things are always elusive,” another person chimed in, a hint of unease in their voice.
"You guys don't think that guy is coming towards us, do you?"
"Impossible! We've kept to ourselves for so many years!"
"We haven't entered the ancient city of Jingjue yet."
Lin Yang has excellent hearing, so these conversations naturally escaped his ears.
He pondered to himself, but his face remained impassive as he continued walking.
Upon entering the house, Lin Yang immediately sensed an unusual atmosphere.
The room was dark and mysterious.
A group of monsters of various shapes and sizes were leisurely lying there.
There are white camels, fennec foxes, desert cats, as well as desert monitor lizards, sand pythons, deer gazelles, and gray wolves.
These monsters are rarely seen on ordinary days, but their gathering here at this moment is truly astonishing.
The monsters seemed to have never expected that humans would suddenly intrude.
They all turned around, scrutinizing Lin Yang with curious yet wary eyes.
Lin Yang, however, walked in with a smile as if nothing had happened and casually found a place to sit down.
"Hey, everyone's here, having a good chat," Lin Yang said, breaking the silence with a relaxed tone.
The monsters looked at each other, seemingly hesitant about how to deal with this unexpected human.
Finally, the gray wolf couldn't help but speak up:
"Hey kid, who are you? Do you know where you are?"
Lin Yang shrugged and said:
"You don't need to know who I am, I'm just here to join in the fun."
"You guys keep talking, just pretend I don't exist."
"Damn it, do you even know where you are?"
"Do you even know who we are?"
The gray wolf bared its teeth and glared fiercely at Lin Yang.
As soon as it finished speaking, the monsters around it echoed it, baring their teeth and brandishing their claws to scare Lin Yang, trying to give him a hard time.
Lin Yang simply sat there calmly, as if he hadn't heard the monsters' words.
His gaze was calm, without any fear.
"Humans, do you know how many people we've eaten?"
"You've really walked into the lion's den today, hahaha!" a monster laughed loudly upon seeing this.
"This was delivered right to our door, which is perfect for adding some food to our meal."
Another monster chimed in, its tone filled with greed and cruelty.
"It's been so many years since I've had any meat, I almost forgot what human tastes like," a monster said, drooling.
As they spoke, the monsters got up one by one, staring intently at Lin Yang.
It seemed as if they were ready to pounce on Lin Yang and tear him to pieces at any moment.
However, Lin Yang still did not react.
It was as if these monsters didn't exist to him at all.
The gray wolf looked at Lin Yang with a puzzled expression and couldn't help but ask:
"Human, aren't you afraid?"
"Or are you too scared to react?"
Lin Yang shook his head and said calmly:
"If you really want to eat me."
"Then they wouldn't have sent the white camel to guide us."
The monsters were stunned when they heard Lin Yang's words.
They look at me and I look at you.
The white camel was also taken aback for a moment, then pretended to be puzzled and said:
"Human, are you mistaken? When did I guide you?"
It said, "Besides, even if we were leading the way, aren't you afraid that we deliberately lured you here?"
Lin Yang shook his head, a faint smile playing on his lips, and said:
"If you really want to eat me."
“We should have done it already, why bother scaring them for so long?”
His gaze swept over the group of monsters, and he continued:
"Besides, you don't have the slightest bit of malevolent aura on you."
