Divine Doctor Mommy Is A True Big Shot-Chapter 551: Death Desert (Part 2)

Wu Zhenzhen and Wu Wanwan, the sisters, were in a special situation as they were both team members and team leaders. Thus, in this second round of competition, they would participate as team leaders in the grand hunt, which meant the Chen Dynasty would be short of two players.

The team members looked out at the vast and boundless desert, each feeling a bit of unease. Not to mention the team leaders were much stronger than they were, just surviving three days in this vast desert would be quite challenging.

The Red Scorpion Desert was extremely hot during the day, but the temperature would drop sharply at night, and the desert could even turn into frozen ground. In such an environment, they had to guard against the hunting of team leaders, prevent the sneak attacks of red scorpions, and also address the issues of food and shelter. It was indeed a tough situation.

After Wu Zhenzhen finished speaking, the team members from various countries arranged themselves accordingly, with each country having twenty representative players.

As the sun was directly overhead, team members of the Ten Countries’ Representative Team entered the Red Scorpion Desert. Watching the players set off into the distance, the team leaders revealed varied expressions.

Xiao Junci’s nose twitched, his lips curling up in an almost cruel smile.

"Twenty people, twenty scents."

He seemed to be talking to himself, but also as if he deliberately wanted Dugu Wu who was not far away to hear.

A flash crossed Dugu Wu’s eyes. Xiao Junci, this guy, had formed the Greedy Wolf Army with wolves known for their keen sense of smell, and it seemed that Xiao Junci had assimilated with them.

However, for this grand hunt, Xiao Junci’s wolf pets were naturally not allowed to participate, but Xiao Junci’s nose was still extremely sharp. As soon as the teams had set out, he had memorized the scents on their bodies, which was not good news for the members of the Great Chu Representative Team.

Ouyang Chenchen also watched as Feng Bailing and the members of the Daye Representative Team left one after another, especially anxious in her heart after hearing Xiao Junci’s words, and whispered.

"Is Bai Ling really going to be okay?"

Dugu Wu’s heterochromic pupils shimmered in the sunlight, but his gaze was fixed on Lady Nan Feng, who he deemed more problematic than Xiao Junci.

Crunch, crunch—

The scorching sand, baked by the sun, emitted a grating noise under the pressure of their boots.

Feng Bailing raised her head to glance at the sun in the sky, contemplating, grateful that she had applied enough sunscreen on her face.

She pulled out her water bag and took a big, pleasant gulp.

Beside her, other members of the Great Chu Representative Team were on the same journey, with Feng Luochen unable to help but remind her softly.

"Sister, drink less, our water supply is very limited."

Those with experience knew that water sources were the most troublesome part of being in a desert. According to the map provided by Dugu Wu yesterday, there were indeed water sources in the Red Scorpion Desert, but they were extremely scarce.

The biggest problem with water sources in the desert is that the so-called water sources are often located in areas heavily populated by red scorpions, near the Red Scorpion Nest.

Unless absolutely necessary, nobody would want to enter that area to find water sources. After all, red scorpions are very sensitive; as soon as strangers or animals approach the vicinity of their nests, they will launch attacks, and when they attack, they do so in swarms.

Feng Luochen was concerned that his sister, with no wilderness survival experience, would drink all the water at once, and even if he were to give her some of his water later, it wouldn’t be enough.

Most people thought like Feng Luochen; they didn’t drink water, and even though everyone was desperately thirsty, they could only lick their dried lips.

"The human body must have enough water to maintain normal functions; dehydration can affect the five senses, consciousness, and the ability to respond to crises."

Feng Bailing explained.

Dugu Xiaojin nodded obediently at his side and passed her water bag to Feng Bailing.

"Queen Mother, here is my water bag for you."

Feng Bailing was pleased and rubbed Xiaojin’s head.

"Xiaojin is a good girl. Drink your fill with an open heart, rest assured, I will definitely find a way to get you water."

What a joke; not to mention that Feng Bailing’s emergency kit contains plenty of Spiritual Spring, she also possesses the Water Holy Seal within her body. With the benefits of the Holy Seal, especially in the desert regions, as long as the Water Holy Seal senses vibrations, there is a water source nearby that Feng Bailing can detect.

Of course, these words are not convenient for Feng Bailing to speak out loud—after all... Feng Bailing’s eyes swept around and saw Nalan Yan’er and others not far away.

In the Great Chu Team A, Mo Qianqian, Nalan Yan’er, and Feng Luochen were also hurrying on the road.

Although it was Dongfang Yu’s order to set out together, the people from Great Chu Team B all carried a superior air about them. Only Mo Qianqian and Feng Zhao’an occasionally spoke with Feng Bailing and others, the rest of Great Chu Team B regarded the members of Great Chu Team B with nothing but contempt.

After all, in the eyes of these members of Great Chu Team A, they are the chosen ones. These members, having been trained by the Crown Prince Mansion and recruited from the populace, all had first-rate strength—the least among them had the cultivation level of Wuji Earth Seal or Wenhua Earth Seal.

Looking at the Great Chu Team B, Dongfang Li, Dongfang Mosheng, Princess Anyang, and not to mention Feng Bailing, Hong Xuan, and others, none of them possessed the Wenhua Seal or Wuji Seal. Just in terms of strength, Great Chu Team B was indeed far behind Great Chu Team A.

A cold light flashed in Feng Bailing’s eyes, and she sneered in her heart: Today you ignore us, but one day I’ll make you out of reach.

The group traveled together for a full two hours before entering the central part of the desert. By then, the teams representing the Ten Countries had dispersed from each other.

The Red Scorpion Desert is vast, and within three days, the chances of encountering each other are not great.

By now, the sky was gradually darkening, and Nalan Yan’er gestured.

"Everyone, it will soon be dark, and the temperature will drop. In one hour, the two leaders from the Beiqi Team will enter the desert. We must find a good place to settle down before nightfall and before the temperature drops to its lowest. Everyone needs to conserve energy tonight."

Although Great Chu Team A and Great Chu Team B were without their respective leaders, because of her status, everyone in Great Chu Team A followed Nalan Yan’er’s lead.

As for Great Chu Team B, although it is one team, there were several forces within it holding each other in check, with no one yielding to another.

After Nalan Yan’er spoke, no one voiced any objections.

Just as Nalan Yan’er was about to find a place to settle, Feng Bailing suddenly spoke up.

"Crown Princess Consort, I think it’s best that we twenty do not converge. Firstly, when there are too many people, the strong scent makes it easy for the Red Scorpions to attack us. Secondly, gathering together makes us an easy target, likely attracting the pursuit of the Beiqi Team. In my opinion, it’s better for us to disperse. In doing so, even if one group is attacked, they can still call for help from another group, who can come to assist, increasing our chance of winning at least."

Nalan Yan’er looked at Feng Bailing with a smile that was not quite a smile.

With Dugu Wu and Dongfang Yu not around, she did not need to be too polite to Feng Bailing.
