Lin Yuan has built-in navigation? Su Li was completely baffled!

"Buzz!"

A powerful surge of True Qi erupted from her body!

Fourth Level of Huagang Realm!

A powerful airwave centered on her swept out in all directions, blowing away a layer of yellow sand from the ground!

"Clang!"

Su Li tapped her toes on the ground, and like an arrow leaving a bow, she charged toward the Sandstorm Lizard leading the pack!

The Sandstorm Lizard opened its bloody maw, and a stream of dark green venom shot toward Su Li like a high-pressure water gun!

Wherever the venom passed, the air hissed with the sound of corrosion.

Su Li's figure blurred as she easily dodged the venom spray, her spear tracing a brilliant silver arc through the air.

"Pojun!"

On the tip of the spear, silver True Qi instantly condensed into a peerlessly sharp spear glow, carrying an Aura that could tear through anything as it stabbed fiercely toward the Sandstorm Lizard's massive head!

"Puchi!"

A muffled sound of a Sharp Weapon entering flesh!

The hard scales the Sandstorm Lizard took pride in were as fragile as paper under Su Li's spear glow, instantly pierced through!

The entire spear entered from its lower jaw and exited from the back of its head!

"Roar—!"

The Sandstorm Lizard let out a shrill cry of pain, and its massive body crashed to the ground, twitching a few times before falling still.

Killed in a single strike!

"So strong!"

"Instructor Su is mighty!"

Seeing this, the soldiers in the rear erupted into earth-shattering cheers, their morale soaring!

Ryan was also left dumbfounded.

He knew Su Li was strong, but he hadn't expected her to be this powerful!

Killing a Sandstorm Lizard, known for its defense, with a single spear strike—this level of strength was already no less than that of an elite squad leader in their Holy Knights Order!

Having succeeded in one strike, Su Li's movements didn't pause for a moment.

Her figure was like lightning as she wove through the dozen or so Sandstorm Lizards, her silver spear turning into a sky full of spear shadows.

Every thrust hit a Sandstorm Lizard's vital point with unerring precision.

Whether it was the eyes, the throat, or the heart!

"Puchi!" "Puchi!" "Puchi!"

The sounds of a Sharp Weapon entering flesh were constant.

In less than a minute.

Those dozen or so aggressive Sandstorm Lizards had all fallen in pools of blood, with not a single one able to stand again.

Holding her silver spear, Su Li stood proudly among the corpses. Her black combat suit was spotless, and her cold face bore no expression.

Her heroic and valiant appearance made the blood of all the soldiers boil with excitement, their eyes filled with admiration.

Su Li slowly withdrew her spear, pulling that fierce Aura back into her body.

She turned around, preparing to order the troops to clear the battlefield and continue their advance.

But as she turned her head, she froze.

She saw Lin Yuan, the guy who had been watching the show from the sidelines the whole time, already striding off on his own toward a certain direction deep in the desert.

His pace was still leisurely, and his hands were still in his pockets, as if he weren't in a dangerous foreign desert but strolling in his own backyard.

That direction... Su Li's brow furrowed slightly.

That direction was not the fastest route out of this "Endless Sea of Sand" that Ryan had pointed out earlier.

"Consultant Lin!"

Su Li couldn't help but call out. She hurried to catch up and walked alongside Lin Yuan.

"Are we going the wrong way? Ryan said that way is the shortest path out of the desert." She pointed in another direction.

The surrounding soldiers also cast doubtful glances.

Ryan walked over with a look of utter confusion: "Lord Lin, Instructor Su is right. Our knights have crossed this sea of sand many times. Heading that way, it only takes half a day to reach an oasis and leave this dangerous area."

However, Lin Yuan didn't even stop his pace and said without looking back.

"Just follow me."

His voice was flat, yet it carried an unquestionable certainty.

"Why?" Su Li pressed, "Can you give us a reason? This is the Oulu Continent, not Dragon Xia Kingdom. We know nothing about the environment here. Venturing blindly into the desert might lead us into unknown dangers."

She wasn't questioning Lin Yuan, but as the deputy commander of this operation, she had to be responsible for the lives and safety of all the soldiers.

Lin Yuan finally stopped.

He turned his head, glanced at Su Li and Ryan, and a "you're so annoying" expression appeared on his face.

"Taking that path, you'll reach an oasis in half a day, that's correct."

"But once you reach the oasis, you'll encounter a nest of Venomous Sand Scorpions, numbering at least a thousand. Then you'll have to spend a day bypassing a Wind-eroded Area with a chaotic magnetic field."

"By the time you painstakingly make it out of the desert, three days will have passed."

After speaking, Lin Yuan pointed in the direction he was heading.

"Taking my route, although it seems to be going deeper into the desert, in six hours, we will find an abandoned Ancient Teleportation Array. Through that array, we can reach the outskirts of Black Stone Valley within ten minutes."

Lin Yuan's words left everyone present stunned.

Su Li widened her cold phoenix eyes, her face filled with disbelief.

Ryan's mouth hung open, unable to close for a long time.

Venomous Sand Scorpions?

Wind-eroded Area?

Ancient Teleportation Array?

These things were unheard of even to him, a native knight of the Oulu Continent!

How did Lin Yuan know?

He's clearly visiting the Oulu Continent for the first time!

Could it be... an absurd thought simultaneously arose in the hearts of Su Li and Ryan.

Could Lin Yuan have the ability of precognition?

"How... how do you know these things?"

Su Li's voice carried a trace of imperceptible trembling.

Lin Yuan looked at her shocked expression and inwardly curled his lip.

How do I know?

Of course I know.

Because the plot of this novel was written by me... wait, no, I read it back then!

In the original work, the protagonist's team took this seemingly dangerous shortcut to save time.

That abandoned Ancient Teleportation Array was left over from ancient times and was extremely well-hidden; no one knew about it except the original protagonist.

Now, this advantage was naturally going to be taken by Lin Yuan.

Of course, it was absolutely impossible for him to say these things out loud.

So, Lin Yuan just gave Su Li an enigmatic look and calmly uttered four words.

"I calculated it."

After saying that, he ignored the group of petrified people behind him and continued striding toward the depths of the desert.

Cal... calculated?

Su Li was completely bewildered.

She knew that Dragon Xia Kingdom had some ancient legacies proficient in the Art of Divination, which were said to be able to peek into the secrets of heaven and predict the future.

But those were legendary existences!

Could it be that Lin Yuan was not only unfathomably strong but also a legendary master of divination?

This is just too... Heaven-Defying!
