Otherworldly Desert Dust

Raised his hand, fired the gun.

The weapon formed from the Black Divine Material erupted with astonishing power in an instant. Wu Hen felt like he was holding a string of lightning bolted together. The bullets that burst forth sparked an exaggerated electromagnetic flare in the air!

"Bang!!"

It didn't sound like a pistol bullet, more like a Penetration Bomb exploding on the Midnight Mass.

The incredibly robust Midnight Mass was shattered directly by the bullet, its body torn apart, and its broken limbs scattered on both sides of the train track!

Su Li crouched down, covering her ears. She looked at the scene in disbelief, even forgetting to stand up...

The unkillable Midnight Mass had been obliterated by Wu Hen!!

"Little Aunt, move!" Wu Hen said.

Su Li then scrambled to her feet and ran towards the safe car.

"Keep going forward, I'm right behind you," Wu Hen said.

Without the Elemental Weapon Pistol, Su Li was just a weak woman. In the long Desert Dust survival, she had developed into a strong, independent, and cold person, almost forgetting what it felt like to be protected by someone else.

"Bang!!!"

The bullet whistled, carrying a lightning-like power, cutting through the pitch-black eclipse world.

Wu Hen had practiced shooting from a young age and had excellent gun skills.

Moreover, Wu Hen could clearly feel that the Black Divine Gun in his hand was a living thing. It didn't even need him to aim deliberately; it could lock onto the high-speed Midnight Mass on its own!

"Bang!!!!"

"Bang!!!!!"

Each shot burst forth with dazzling firepower. In a short time, the fear dissipated. Wu Hen's mindset became increasingly calm, leading Su Li forward for a long distance.

Only ten meters left.

In those ten meters, the number of Midnight Masses gathered on both sides of the track was astonishingly high.

If they all jumped up to bite, no matter how powerful the bullets were, it would be of no avail.

Fortunately, Wu Hen had no fear in his heart. A strange thought even flashed through his mind.

How to describe this thought... It was like guiding himself on how to use the power of his right hand.

"There are too many of them!" Su Li's face was still pale. She also wanted to continue shooting, but she had no bullets left.

"We will be fine," Wu Hen said with great certainty.

Suddenly, Wu Hen did something that made Su Li gasp in surprise.

He raised his right arm and threw the Black Divine Gun into the air!

In Su Li's eyes, this was undoubtedly an act of giving up resistance. Yet Wu Hen inexplicably smiled.

The Black Divine Gun hung in the air like a black bird. More absurdly, it started firing continuously at the approaching Midnight Masses at an incredibly exaggerated rate!!

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Self-aiming, self-shooting, bullets frantically flying around, all hitting the oncoming Midnight Masses!

Originally, a group of Midnight Masses had gathered around the two. Now, their ugly shells exploded one after another, and broken limbs flew everywhere!

"Little Aunt, let's go."

Wu Hen grabbed Su Li's hand and ran forward.

The Midnight Masses seemed to be a group of fearless creatures. Despite losing so many of their companions, they still rushed forward relentlessly.

In just ten meters, another twenty or thirty Midnight Masses attacked.

Above Wu Hen, the gun-like black bird floated and followed.

It flew along, turning to aim, each shot blasting out with sparks of lightning, clearing all obstacles around Wu Hen!

This bizarre yet heroic scene left Su Li's brain in a state of pause.

She felt like a naive girl who had never seen the world, looking at the unbelievable Illusion Breaking Gun and then at the confident, spirited boy, Wu Hen.

For a long time, Su Li had survived under the Evil Soil, tormented, chased, trampled, suppressing unknown emotions in her heart. But seeing the invincible Evil Spirits being slaughtered, it was hard not to feel a surge of liberating joy and an inexplicable excitement when looking at his face!

"Little Aunt, we're here!" Wu Hen said to Su Li.

Opening the door, Wu Hen and Su Li entered the car already filled with phosphorescence.

The two of them worked together to close the door, completely blocking out the evil aura and the foul stench of the Midnight Mass.

Su Li and Wu Hen finally sat down against the door in exhaustion.

The two who just escaped death shocked the people in the car. They looked at Su Li and Wu Hen in disbelief.

"Spirit Awakener, he's already a qualified Spirit Awakener!" Scar-faced Uncle said excitedly.

"Black Shirt Organization, these bastards nearly sacrificed our Spirit Awakener to the evil sun!" Aunt Huang said.

"We have a Spirit Awakener in our team!" said a woman named Shanhu excitedly.

Su Li had already been acting as a half-Spirit Awakener, possessing some combat ability, which allowed these people to survive.

Now with an even more powerful Spirit Awakener in their midst, their survival ability skyrocketed. They might actually reach the Nuwa Divine Tree!

For a while, everyone's gaze towards Wu Hen changed!

...

The dark world welcomed a touch of Heavenly Light again.

Slowly, daylight returned, a sun hung at an angle on the horizon, and everything on earth bathed in its brilliance once more.

Some Midnight Masses still clung to the train, unwilling to let the living beings escape.

But as the sunlight poured down, their bodies quickly grew gray with stone, their joints stiffened, and their shells were thickly encased, eventually turning into stone sculptures!

"Huff~"

"Huff~~"

Wu Hen and Su Li rested together, finally catching their breath.

Sitting very close, their sweat mixed together.

Su Li couldn't help but look at the boy. The boy grinned a proud yet sincere smile, a smile identical to the one she was familiar with.

Wu Hen noticed the warmth and bewilderment in Su Li's eyes and couldn't help but tease: "Not everything has to be solved by oneself; two people supporting each other is better."

Su Li couldn't miss the innuendo in his words and gave the boy a glare.

To avoid discussing such an embarrassing topic in front of everyone, Su Li stood up and turned to the others, instructing:

"The sun is up. Check every part of the train and push the Midnight Mass stone sculptures out. If night falls, we will still be in danger."

"No problem. Here, take this." Scar-faced Uncle tossed an ax in front of Yang Qin and the boy, intending to take them out to patrol.

"I... I'm not going out..." Yang Qin was so scared she didn't know how many times she had been drenched. She already had an unpleasant smell on her.

Scar-faced Uncle glanced at Su Li.

Su Li gave him a cold look.

Scar-faced Uncle quickly understood. He grabbed Yang Qin and dragged her toward the train door. No matter how much Yang Qin struggled, he looked like he was about to throw her out of the car.

"We have no obligation to protect someone useless," Scar-faced Uncle said.

"I'll go! I'll go, okay!"

"Hey, watch your language," Scar-faced Uncle, not as good-tempered as he appeared, said.

"I didn't mean it that way. I mean I'll go outside to patrol!" Yang Qin quickly stated.

"That's more like it. Move quickly. The night will fall soon, and you wouldn't want to be eaten by Midnight Mass, would you?" Scar-faced Uncle said.

Scar-faced Uncle took Yang Qin and the boy out of the car. The sunshine outside was abundant, but the other cars still had Midnight Masses frozen in the light, looking like demon soldiers.

"Check under the train," Wu Hen reminded.

Scar-faced Uncle didn't look back. He simply raised his ax to indicate he understood.

...

While resting, Wu Hen also observed the independently acting Black Divine Gun.

The Black Divine Gun had automatically returned to his right arm, once again transforming into black light material, seeping into his flesh, and hiding.

However, a clear sense lingered deep within Wu Hen's soul. With one thought, it would appear in his right hand just as before, clearing all obstacles for him!

"Could it be that the beautiful Navel Bud helped me capture it in the sky and formed a soul connection with me?"

"Its form is unpredictable, and it becomes what it eats?"

"But to unleash its power, it needs Yuan You to charge it?"

Reasonable, very reasonable!

In an incredibly short time, Wu Hen had figured out all about his adoptive father's traits!

Gotta say, the adoptive father had to be the adoptive father!

So badass!!

When encountering another thunderstorm, throw the adoptive father into the sky, let it absorb into the Death Sword lightning, and annihilate otherworldly beings as it did back then!

"Hey, hey? Can you understand me?"

The Black Divine Material on Wu Hen's right arm pulsed like a breathing rhythm, showing the faint markings visible to Wu Hen, like his bloodstream reflecting divine light!

"Uh... Can you show yourself to me again?"

The markings on the arm dimmed.

"Oh, it's fine if you don't want to."

Quite the prideful one.

"How about this, I need to give you a name... Otherwise, if I encounter danger and you are asleep, it will be troublesome."

"How about calling you Little Black?"

"Ouch!" Wu Hen suddenly felt a burning pain in his arm, making him grimace.

If you don't like it, just say it.

Why bite me!

"How about Little Jianjian?" Wu Hen asked tentatively.

As he felt discomfort in his arm, Wu Hen quickly changed his tone: "No, no, no, I know it sounds bad."

"Then, how about Little Yi?"

"The 'Yi' that stands for righteousness and excellence..."

"The 'Yi' that symbolizes our unbreakable, eternal soul sense?"

Wu Hen's eyes fixed on his arm.

The burning pain was gone.

But there was no light from the markings either.

Probably consented!

"Little Yi it is then."

Wu Hen nodded satisfactorily. The first official communication ended with both sides reaching a friendly consensus.

But after thinking carefully, Wu Hen suddenly realized: This 'Yi' in Little Yi also stood for adoptive father's 'Yi.'

Ah, well!

No getting around this, huh!
