I was reborn after playing a good hand badly

Except for the one lying in the protective shield, the other four were staring at the mysterious man who was approaching step by step with burning eyes.

Well, mysterious man, Su Mo’s outfit is too tight.

They were surprised that this man could take on a group of insects alone and finish it off in such a short time. They were also surprised that this man was not afraid of the heat?

This mysterious man was obviously very powerful. Although he had just helped them, they were unsure in this secret realm where the forces were in chaos, and could not judge whether this man had other purposes.

Su Mo stopped several meters away. Her entire face was covered by a large headscarf, which also concealed her confusion and disgust at the moment.

The protective shield was surrounded by mucus dripping from the insects, and wisps of black gas were rising that didn't smell good. The person in the protective shield seemed unable to smell it, so it was better for her not to get close.

Seeing that the mysterious man didn't move forward, they also showed doubts in their eyes.

The subordinate behind Long Tao looked down and saw the situation outside the protective shield, and whispered, "Master, look at those things on the ground."

Everyone suddenly realized that, yes, when the insects besieged the protective shield just now, black things fell off their bodies. Aren’t they the same things that are corroding the sand now?

Seeing that the mysterious man was standing there without saying anything, Jiang Li cleared his throat and said, "Thank you for your help, senior. Uh, I wonder if those bugs are dead?"

Jiang Li spoke in Xia dialect, which was also a test. Regardless of Jiang Li's own intuition or the mysterious man's attire, she thought that this person was 70% likely to be from Xia.

Hearing this voice, Su Mo was completely sure that this was Jiang Li.

She didn't expect that the association would actually send someone, and the person sent was Jiang Li.

Su Mo suppressed his thoughts and said in a low voice, "You're welcome. The bugs are already dead."

Hearing the mysterious man speaking fluent Xia dialect, Jiang Li relaxed a little. He hoped that this mysterious man had no ill will towards them.

The mysterious person's voice was a little hoarse, but it could be heard that it was a woman. After hesitating for a while, Jiang Li still wanted to confirm, "Senior, are you from Xia country?"

Su Mo nodded without hesitation and raised his own question, "I've been here for more than an hour and only saw you guys. When did you come in? Have you seen anyone else?"

Jiang Li closed her eyes and sighed. She was willing to share this kind of news.

"My teammates and I came in yesterday. It wasn't just us yesterday. Many people came in one after another. But this secret realm is too tricky. I don't know how many people are still alive now."

"Senior, you didn't see any dead bodies along the way, did you?" Jiang Li pointed to the ground. "Don't be surprised. There's something wrong with this desert."

Su Mo wondered, "What does that mean? The body sank?"

Long Tao replied, "Yes, we saw it with our own eyes."

Su Mo: "..."

She didn't expect this situation. No wonder she had been walking for so long and there was nothing but yellow sand.

As soon as Long Tao finished speaking, as if to prove the truth of his statement, the circle of black mucus surrounding the protective shield really sank. The whole process was under the watchful eyes of everyone, but now it is completely invisible.

Everyone: “…”

Su Mo sighed softly.

The black thing disappeared, and the mysterious man did not come close to ask them to enter the protective shield, which made Jiang Li feel relieved. She would not let an unidentified person in, even if she had just helped them.

The mysterious man is obviously not afraid of high temperatures and is very powerful. It is better for both parties to keep a safe distance before they have complete trust in each other.

After the black air dissipated, Jiang Li said, "Ahem, sorry, it's not convenient to operate our protective shield after it's activated, so I didn't invite you in."

"Um, Senior, you don't seem to be afraid of the high temperature outside?"

The other people also wanted to know the same thing. They were all very surprised. That was the temperature that could suck a person dry, so why did this person seem to be unaffected at all?

The corner of Su Mo's mouth twitched under the headscarf. It was so damn inconvenient to operate after it was opened. Jiang Li was really good at talking.

But she didn't expose Jiang Li's vigilance, and only said, "Maybe it's because I have a good physique."

Su Mo was not talking nonsense, his good physique was part of the truth.

Jiang Li did not think that the mysterious man's answer, which sounded half-hearted, was perfunctory.

Of the five people in the protective shield, except for her, the others were in a very miserable state. One of them was even lying there and no one knew what was going on. It was not entirely because she had a protective shield to use.

When she first came in, she was also holding on by herself. It was only when she found the male team member behind her that the other party could not hold on any longer and opened the protective shield.

Seeing Jiang Li nodding in thought, Long Tao stepped forward and asked about his guess.

"Senior, are you from the hidden family of Xia Country?"

It's no wonder he made such an association. Apart from the masters trained by the hidden families, he didn't think that there could be anyone with such strength in Xia Country now. To put it simply, they have a good physique. Without sufficient knowledge, even if they have money, they wouldn't know how to improve.

The Long family and the Jiang family are both secluded families, but the treatment he receives and that of Jiang Li are incomparable. As a descendant of a branch, the resources he can obtain are still limited. What he did not expect was that the Jiang family would actually allow Jiang Li, a direct descendant, to join the Psychic Association.

In addition to these two families, as far as Long Tao knows, there are two other hidden families in Xia Kingdom. This mysterious master might be from those two families.

The question asked by Long Tao left Su Mo silent.

She didn't answer or explain, leaving them to guess.

Having already understood some of the questions, Jiang Li and the others could not give answers to other questions, Su Mo prepared to leave.

However, before leaving, Su Mo wanted to tell them about the big bug and how to deal with it, so that they would not panic if they encountered it again in the future.

Just now when she was killing the insects, she didn't know what was going on inside the protective shield, so she avoided it, but the situation is different now.

Su Mo changed the subject and asked, "Have you ever dealt with the bugs like that?"

There was no response to his question, and Long Tao's expression darkened, but he didn't dare to ask any more questions. After hearing the mysterious man's words, he turned his head and looked at Jiang Li.

They both shook their heads.

The bug had just appeared before Su Mo arrived. At that time, they were already in the protective shield. Otherwise, with the high temperature outside, no matter what kind of bug or monster they encountered, they would probably be powerless to resist.

"Let me tell you about the bug..."

Everyone was stunned for a moment, and immediately moved towards the edge of the protective shield.

Unexpectedly, the mysterious man only asked them some questions after helping them, and now he is willing to share such important information with them. Of course, they nodded again and again.

Even Long Tao stopped worrying about those meaningless questions and looked at the mysterious man seriously.
