Soon, the abandoned factory where the several of them had stayed was reduced to a pile of ashes in the blazing flames.

After leaving the abandoned factory, the five of them walked side by side for a while longer.

It wasn’t until they reached a weed-choked intersection that Cook P. Jones finally stopped.

He turned his head to the right, looked at the three people he had recruited, and slowly spoke:

“Let’s part ways here.”

Then, he curled the index finger of his right hand, placed it by his lips, and blew a sharp, clear whistle!

Three parrots of different colors descended from high above, landing on the shoulders of Seena, Hankley, and Tannas.

According to the plan, these three parrots would guide the three of them on their withdrawal route after “successfully robbing the old nobles.”

After the parrots landed on them, all three gave a knowing nod to Cook P. Jones as a farewell…

Next, Seena simply tapped her staff lightly on the ground.

In the next instant, a gentle wind appeared beneath her feet.

Her figure was enveloped by this gentle wind, slowly rising into the sky, flying towards the old noble district of Jadeite Main City…

Then, seeing Seena leave first, Hankley didn’t waste any more words either and rushed into the shadows at the side of the street.

After Hankley’s figure merged into the shadows, it eerily vanished without a trace…

As is well known, the boundaries between the two superhuman professions of Ranger and Assassin can be quite blurry at times.

Most famously, the stealth skills of these two superhuman professions are very similar.

People unfamiliar with these two professions often mistake one for the other…

Finally, Tannas, who was still left at the spot, wasn’t annoyed after seeing these two leave so coolly without taking him along.

He leisurely took off the pure white robe he was wearing, which was printed with the symbol of the God of Life’s church, revealing his powerful muscles.

After storing the pure white robe in the spatial storage device on his hand, he leisurely half-squatted down, adopting a sprinting stance!

“BOOM!”

A loud crash!

A large, man-made crater appeared on the ground of this weed-choked intersection!

Countless cracks extended from the crater’s edges in all directions!

The farthest crack even almost reached Loren’s feet…

Near the crater, dust kicked up by the high speed also swirled into the air!

Seeing this, Loren silently spread the wings on his back and gave them a gentle flap! Scattering the dust swirling around the intersection!

The swirling dust, swept away by the fierce wind, dissipated completely!

As the dust cleared, the center of the crater was empty, with only a deep half-footprint…

Staring at the half-footprint in the crater’s center, Loren silently complained in his mind:

Is this Priest normal?

I remember when Mr. Cook introduced him to me, he didn’t mention the guy had minored in Warrior or Martial Artist…

Cook P. Jones beside him followed Loren’s gaze.

Then, he covered his mouth and chuckled, as if knowing what Loren was thinking.

“Priests who worship the God of Life, their physiques are all pretty exaggerated. It’s said to be related to the God of Life’s blessing…”

Cook P. Jones specifically explained for Loren’s benefit.

But what Cook P. Jones didn’t tell Loren was that when he first saw a Priest who worshipped the God of Life, his reaction was even more exaggerated than Loren’s…

Hearing the explanation, Loren silently nodded, unusually refraining from making any comment.

A blessing from the God of Life? Interesting…

I wonder how it compares to the little one’s ability?

Cook P. Jones beside him felt a bit awkward. I specifically explained for you, and you don’t pick up the conversation?

Seeing Loren had no desire to comment, Cook P. Jones skillfully shifted away from this awkward topic.

So, he opened his mouth to ask Loren:

“Next, where do we go?”

“???”

A perplexing silence appeared.

Loren’s expression was strange. He silently turned his head to stare at Cook P. Jones, saying nothing.

You’re asking me? You invited me here? What about your plan to advance to Legendary?

Clearly, silence is a deafening sound.

It was so deafening that Cook P. Jones had to take the initiative to speak again:

“No, I mean, from that Enemy Notebook, is there any wealthy person you want to rob?”

Loren slowly shook his head.

“Not really. I only stayed in Jadeite Main City for a few days before leaving.”

“Actually, I’m not very familiar with this place…”

Hearing this, Cook P. Jones also gave Loren a meaningful look.

What a surprising answer. You, who attacked the three major families and then a Jadeite Councilor, are actually not familiar with this place…

“So, I’ll decide everything?” Cook P. Jones asked after a moment’s hesitation.

“Of course, Mr. Cook. Don’t forget, I’m just here to help you…” Loren calmly nodded.

“Alright, I thought when a big shot was carrying the team, they liked to call the shots…”

Cook P. Jones smiled and shook his head.

After confirming Loren didn’t want to take over command, he once again curled the index finger of his right hand and brought it to his lips!

A whistle with a peculiar pitch sounded!

Seven seconds later!

The whistle finally stopped!

Instantly!

Loren felt some abnormal phenomenon occurring around him.

The ground began to tremble slightly!

He silently released his Spiritual Power, sensing the source of this slight tremor.

After discovering what was causing the ground to tremble, the corner of Loren’s mouth twitched, and he couldn’t help but complain in his heart: Why do you all like hiding things underground?

Not far from Cook P. Jones and Loren, a huge crack split open in the road surface!

A giant sandworm emerged from this crack, drilling its way out of the ground!

The giant sandworm’s size was almost comparable to a skyscraper. Its upright height was a full hundred meters!

Countless densely packed fleshy claws grew beneath its abdomen!

And around its mouthparts were densely packed with interlocking, jagged tiny teeth! Like a large meat grinder!

The diameter of its cylindrical body, piled with countless muscles and fat, also reached about 35 meters!

It truly looked like a massive magical beast that had run out from another plane!

“So? Mr. Loren, how’s my big baby? Isn’t it adorable?”

“This is the animal companion I specifically captured after coming to the Beastkin Star Domain!”

Cook P. Jones introduced it to Loren with a face full of pride.

“Back then, to contract it, I chased it in the desert for three months!!”

“It doesn’t have many other merits, but its main selling point is being incredibly sturdy and durable! It’ll give the Security Bureau’s Agents a real headache!!”

Loren looked up, examining the giant sandworm not far away, which had started gnawing on an abandoned building since emerging from the ground, and curled his lips in extreme distaste.

Mr. Cook, is your understanding of the Hunter profession only limited to the term “animal companion”…
