929: Du Xingchen becomes temporary captain

Du Xingchen saw this scene from not far away and was also speechless for a moment.

The Demon Hall's method of stripping Divine Inheritance Bloodlines was indeed cruel, and it also included the methods that Giant Rhino mentioned.

However, that was already a method of operation from many years ago.

After a series of experiments, the Demon Hall had not successfully stripped the inherited Bloodline at all.

Looking at it from another perspective.

If the Demon Hall had really stripped the inherited Bloodline in such a simple manner, then the world would truly be in chaos.

After all, a Bloodline that could carry a designated God's Inheritance, if operated properly, would be enough to transform into a God!

Such a huge temptation would bring about the destruction of everyone in the world who possessed an inherited Bloodline!

Even the Divine Hall would not be able to resist the temptation!

The real situation.

Is that the operation to strip a God's Bloodline is extremely complex.

It also involves many probability issues.

According to the current plot progression, the only method the Demon Hall has currently summarized for extracting the inherited Bloodline is one.

That is the Divine Inheritance of Jiaolong Valley!

Only when the person with the inherited Bloodline obtains the Divine Inheritance, will this Bloodline become a complete entity that can be fully extracted!

This is also one of the reasons why most people who have obtained a Divine Inheritance dare not expose the fact that they possess the inheritance information.

Of course.

Since Wen Xiucheng's Bloodline is limited to the Dragon God's Inheritance, he can only carry and accept the Dragon God's Inheritance.

However, if Du Xingchen remembered correctly, coincidentally, the Divine Inheritance in Jiaolong Valley is the Dragon God's Inheritance!

Therefore, it won't be long before they will meet in Jiaolong Valley.

...

The people in the Team had already finished resting when Giant Rhino went to chase the Demon Hall's people.

Now, with Giant Rhino's return, everyone set off again.

However, during the latter half of the journey, everyone was enveloped in a somber atmosphere.

Of course, Wang Lie, the Captain of this Team, was relatively fortunate.

After all, having encountered such a terrifying attack, it was already a great fortune that no one in the Team died.

For the latter part of the journey, everyone did not walk quickly.

Around three or four in the afternoon, everyone finally arrived at the true Outer Domain border.

A scene that differed from expectations yet was within anticipation then appeared.

The difference between the Outer Domain and the border was extremely obvious.

Visible to the naked eye, the area on the Linshan Country's border side was filled with yellow sand and was scorching hot!

In contrast, the distant Outer Domain had scattered trees and bushes, and even further away, there were some towering mountains and ridges, giving rise to bursts of vibrant greenness.

The stark difference seemed to tell of the God's Heaven-Defying methods back then.

"Little Boss, this is the Outer Domain," Wang Lie took a deep breath, his tone carrying the feeling of having survived a disaster.

In just a few days, he had encountered two life-threatening situations, truly having experienced challenges.

"There are various sizes of trading villages and towns here at the Outer Domain border, mainly selling things like the corpses of strange beasts collected from the Outer Domain or card equipment, and because there are no middlemen, the prices are very fair."

"If you want to know about some major related events that have happened recently, you can find out at those gathering points."

After Wang Lie briefly summarized all of this, he then said to Du Xingchen, "We, Team Fierce Wine, won't charge any fees for this trip. We didn't help much along the way; instead, it was you, Little Boss, who saved me and my brothers. It wouldn't be right to charge a fee now."

After Wang Lie finished saying all of this, he then led the people of Team Fierce Wine and parted ways with Du Xingchen and the others.

"Why don't we first go to the nearest outpost and ask about the huan ling grass?" Liangcai Sword said from the crowd.

Now that Wen Xiucheng, the Captain, was gone, and Moyun, who was originally second in everyone's hearts, was also not here, Liangcai Sword spoke up at the right time, thinking of discussing their plans for later.

Giant Rhino saw this scene, his expression unchanged as he looked at Liangcai Sword: "Now that Wen Xiucheng isn't here, you are missing a leader among you. I need to choose a temporary Captain for you."

Speaking of this, Giant Rhino could see Liangcai Sword's grinning and very eager expression.

"Don't even think about it," Giant Rhino mercilessly shattered Liangcai Sword's thoughts: "If I let you be the temporary Captain, once a fight breaks out, everyone will be arranged by you to protect Sun Yingying."

As soon as he said this, Liangcai Sword's body stiffened, and he awkwardly scratched the back of his head.

Sun Yingying, however, curled her lip in disdain: "Who needs protection? Unnecessary!"

"Teacher, let me be the temporary Captain!" Qing Youyu, who had woken up from unconsciousness, clenched her fists and spoke seriously.

In her words of request, there were also surges of unstable aura fluctuations.

Obviously, the matter of Wen Xiucheng being captured by the Demon Hall made it impossible for her to remain calm.

"If I give the Team to you, I'm afraid you'll take everyone to fight the Demon Hall overnight," Giant Rhino refused Qing Youyu's request without hesitation.

After taking a deep breath, he rubbed his smooth bald head, his muscular arms crossed: "Du Xingchen, you should be the temporary Captain."

"From now on, all decisions and directions for your Team will be made by you!"

"I need to go find Wen Xiucheng, so I won't be able to stay by your side during this time. All your actions from now on must be careful and steady, and try not to cause trouble, understand?!"

Choosing Du Xingchen to be the temporary Captain was actually a decision Giant Rhino made out of necessity.

In his eyes, the remaining few were actually not suitable to be leaders.

Qing Youyu might be suitable, but because of Wen Xiucheng's experience, it was impossible for her to be a good Captain.

As for Sun Yingying.

This woman has always had the temper of a Young Miss; letting her be the Captain would have even more unimaginable consequences.

After thinking it over, only Du Xingchen, the little transparent one in the Team, was relatively suitable.

He started pretending to be injured from the Jiaomang Mountain Range, until he directly jumped out in the Relic Ancient City and ambushed that Six-Star Soul Card Master from the Demon Hall.

Looking at it this way, this little fellow still had some strategy.

"Teacher, don't worry, I will take good care of everyone," Du Xingchen was slightly surprised that this task fell upon him, but he quickly calmed his emotions.

"Mm," Giant Rhino nodded slightly.

Then, thinking of something, he fumbled around on his body for a moment, and then threw two items to Du Xingchen: "These are things obtained from killing that Saint Master in the Jiaomang Mountain Range at the time. There were a total of three items; I took the poison, I have a use for it. I don't know the use of the remaining two; you can figure it out yourselves."

After speaking, the man did not stop and walked straight towards another area of the desert.

Obviously, he went to inquire about the Demon Hall's news and rescue Wen Xiucheng.

In the wind and sand, only Du Xingchen and the other four remained.

"Xingchen, what should we do next? Should we go ask about the huan ling grass?" Liangcai Sword asked.

As soon as he finished speaking, Qing Youyu's cold voice rang out: "We should also be like Teacher Giant Rhino, go investigate the Demon Hall's news and find a way to rescue Wen Xiucheng!"

"I want to go back to the academy, staying here is so uncomfortable," Sun Yingying's complaint appeared again.

"Let's go, first find a place to stay and settle down temporarily before discussing the plans for later," Du Xingchen glanced at the two items in his hand and casually put them into his storage bracelet.

His suggestion to first settle down at an inn was quite sensible.

After all, when night falls here, the cold air and the sky-high sandstorm are truly tormenting.

There are many gathering points along the border line.

No. 16 Gathering Point.

After Du Xingchen and the others arrived, they had a sense of déjà vu, like arriving at the entrance of the Tianmu Great Forest.

There are many hunting teams at the entrance of the Tianmu Great Forest, and it was the same here!

However, the difference was that most of the people here wore loose clothing, covering their faces and eyes, not revealing their true appearance at all.

On the roads, there were even many tamed millennium beast pets.

Besides being killed and turned into cards, strange beasts can also be tamed and turned into combat pets.

Of these two forms, the latter is relatively more powerful.

It's just that operating them is more troublesome, the restrictions are greater, and they are not part of the mainstream power system.

As soon as Du Xingchen and these few young-looking people arrived here, they immediately attracted many overt and covert gazes.

These people have lived in places with weak order for many years; in their eyes, there is only one rule: strength is paramount.

Upon seeing the four young people arrive without any adults accompanying them, many people immediately began to seriously size them up with the attitude of looking at prey.

There were even people in the crowd whistling and teasing Qing Youyu and Sun Yingying.

"Bastards!" Sun Yingying heard this sound and wanted to rush up and teach the other party a lesson.

Liangcai Sword tightly held her back: "Don't be impulsive, don't be impulsive."

Du Xingchen glanced at the cold-eyed Qing Youyu on the other side and kindly reminded them: "Every gathering point has a security patrol, fighting is not allowed here."

After the words fell, Qing Youyu calmed down a little, but her gaze remained fixed.
