Divine Doctor Mommy Is A True Big Shot-Chapter 554: Secrets Hidden in the Desert?

Xiao Junci was confident that finding Feng Bailing and the others would be a breeze.

After parting ways with Lady Nan Feng, he stood in the night breeze, with his nostrils quivering slightly.

In just a moment, Xiao Junci indeed caught several familiar scents—those were the scents of Great Chu Team A.

A flicker of excitement crossed Xiao Junci’s eyes as he moved swiftly, darting toward a certain direction in the Red Scorpion Desert.

Not far away, Lady Nan Feng, with her charming face, watched Xiao Junci leave, a trace of jealousy coloring her features.

However, she didn’t immediately follow Xiao Junci; she had three days and plenty of opportunities to kill Feng Bailing. Right now, she had more pressing matters to attend to.

Lady Nan Feng was well aware of Xiao Junci’s temperament; the man was lustful and greedy. As long as the profit was substantial, Feng Bailing posed no threat.

Just as long as she found "it."

Lady Nan Feng took out a compass from her bosom and looked at the cardinal directions indicated. She tried to infuse her Wen Energy into the compass needle, but it remained motionless.

"It’s not here."

Lady Nan Feng shook her head slightly and continued forward.

From her actions, it was clear that she wasn’t using the compass to find people, but rather searching for something else.

The leaders of the other Ten Countries’ Representative Teams also entered the Red Scorpion Desert one after another, as night fell, casting dense shadows across the land.

After separating from Feng Bailing and the others, Nalan Yan’er led Great Chu Team A to the area previously mentioned by Princess Anyang, located in a flat region under a dune.

The temperature in the desert at night was extremely low, and the sand beneath their feet had become as hard as frozen ground.

Upon entering the desert, everyone had only brought essential food and water. Nalan Yan’er gestured for the team to rest on the spot.

"Tonight, two of us will take turns keeping watch. Be on guard at the slightest rustle of wind or grass,"

instructed Nalan Yan’er.

The previous encounter with a Red Scorpion had put her on alert, and she personally checked the nearby area to ensure there were no Red Scorpion ambushes before joining the team to rest.

But when they took out their food and water, everyone was stunned.

Dongfang Jin couldn’t help but mutter,

"Queen Mother, the water in the water bag has frozen."

Not only that, but the dry food they brought was also frozen solid. Now, without any water, eating the dry food was like swallowing stones.

No one expected the temperature in the Red Scorpion Desert at night to be so low that even water would freeze.

At this moment, everyone started to regret not drinking enough water earlier, just like Feng Bailing did.

After toughly chewing on some dry food, tired and thirsty, they sat on the sand, unable to rest at all.

The night seemed especially long. Even Nalan Yan’er randomly swallowed a few bites of the hard food, feeling like her throat was on fire.

The night wind scraped across their faces with a biting pain, and two of them were chosen for the watch.

But on such a cold, dangerous night, no one dared to close their eyes.

In the middle of the night, they suddenly heard the rustling of clothes, and Nalan Yan’er’s beautiful eyes sharpened.

"Someone’s coming."

In less than two hours, Xiao Junci appeared before them like a phantom.

This put the members of Great Chu Team A on high alert, and Nalan Yan’er’s fair face turned pale.

Xiao Junci entered as if into no man’s land, not deigning to take notice of the few people there.

His gaze swept over the crowd, and the smug look that had been on his face suddenly changed.

"Why is it only you?"

Xiao Junci tracked the scent of the Great Chu Team and came here. Strangely enough, he quickly found the scent of the members of Great Chu Team A, but failed to catch Feng Bailing and the others’ scent.

Xiao Junci, not giving up, followed the trail only to come up empty-handed.

It was then that Nalan Yan’er remembered Feng Bailing’s earlier warning; she hadn’t expected Xiao Junci’s nose to be even better than a dog’s.

The group hurriedly tried to prepare for the enemy’s attack as Xiao Junci let out a cold laugh.

With a sweep of his large hand, two members of Great Chu Team A standing on the far side were captured by Xiao Junci.

As Xiao Junci exerted force with his ten fingers, a "crack" of breaking bones was heard. The two Wuji Earth Seal level Martial Artists didn’t even have a chance to release their Gang Qi before Xiao Junci twisted their throats.

His action was as if he was merely holding two wild chickens in his hands, not Wuji Masters.

Xiao Junci tossed the two corpses aside and strode towards Nalan Yan’er and the others.

Suddenly, Xiao Junci paused his steps, his eagle-like eyes scanning, then fixed on a figure not far away.

On a nearby sand dune, a person stood tall and straight like a pine, towering there. 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

Without needing to get closer, just the energy exuding from the person’s body was something Xiao Junci was all too familiar with.

Nalan Yan’er turned to look and immediately showed a surprised delight upon seeing the figure.

"Dugu, come save us." She hadn’t expected Dugu Wu to also be there.

Xiao Junci couldn’t help but raise his eyebrows slightly.

In fact, it wasn’t too difficult for Dugu Wu to find the Great Chu Team’s people, simply because he had been tracking Xiao Junci early on.

Wherever Xiao Junci went, Dugu Wu followed.

The two men, one tall and one short, looked at each other; one as proud as a lone wolf, the other as savage as a hawk – on the verge of explosion.

But neither of them made a move. Xiao Junci and Dugu Wu had been old rivals for many years, no one knew the other better, and even if they fought, it would be difficult to determine the victor immediately.

"Dugu Wu, have you come to rescue your old flame?" Xiao Junci teased.

But Dugu Wu just glanced through the crowd, confirmed that Feng Bailing and Dugu Xiaojin were not there, turned around and left – his actions provided the best answer to Xiao Junci.

Dugu Wu was satisfied; Feng Bailing and Xiaojin didn’t let him down.

Having avoided detection the first night, he believed the two could quickly adapt to the Red Scorpion Desert.

It wasn’t that Dugu Wu was unwilling to look for Feng Bailing and the others, but even he couldn’t detect their scent.

Dugu Wu thought about it and roughly guessed how Feng Bailing had done it.

Seeing Dugu Wu leave, Nalan Yan’er’s face was filled with fright.

The remaining members of Great Chu Team A also had gloomy expressions.

Xiao Junci’s hawk eyes swept over them, his gaze landing on Nalan Yan’er’s face.

Nalan Yan’er instantly felt stiff all over.

Xiao Junci, however, curved his lips into a slight smirk.

"The Crown Princess Consort need not worry, this prince is most understanding of how to be gracious towards the fairer sex. However, if you want your people to live, you have to tell me where the other Great Chu team went."

Nalan Yan’er bit her lip; in front of everyone, it was difficult for her to confess.

Xiao Junci looked bored as he scanned the faces of the remaining Great Chu Team members.

Suddenly, he lifted his hand.

The next moment, Nalan Yan’er’s expression drastically changed.

She blurted out.

"I’ll tell you."
