Chapter 804: Chapter 804

Lin Baici saw this scene and didn’t make a move, instead, a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth and he stood with his arms crossed, waiting to watch the drama unfold.

Xia Hongyao, with double D intelligence and not the brightest bulb, possessed fighting capabilities that were no joke; one could say her talents were all in brawling.

In the pollution of rules, Lin Baici wouldn’t trust her with tasks that required using her brain, but when it came to fighting, he was willing to entrust his life to her.

Okocha, the black man, was tall with long legs and looked like a gorilla. Angrily stretching his long arms as if he was reaching for a basketball, he grabbed at Xia Hongyao’s head.

Honestly, when Okocha spread his fingers, they looked like a palm-leaf fan, and it was quite oppressive, reminiscent of Buddha suppressing the Monkey King.

Xia Hongyao, always a simpleton, paid no attention to Okocha, only wanting to quickly share her recent experiences with Lin Baici.

Gu Qingqiu was truly amazing, she had never thought of working for God Coins but took a low-paid job at a law firm, then used that position to target large companies with dark histories and gathered the affected citizens for protests.

To expand her influence, Gu Qingqiu also bribed journalists and hired people to act as victims, eventually securing a meeting with the big companies.

The wildest part was that everyone thought Gu Qingqiu would fight for the victims’ rights, but she didn’t; she only demanded personal benefits, namely, a payment in ancient coins.

What about the interests of the victims?

Gu Qingqiu didn’t care; as long as she completed her tasks, she would leave Gwangju City.

Xia Hongyao, always a law-abiding citizen, was utterly amazed by Gu Qingqiu’s audacious moves.

She absolutely had to brag about this to Lin Baici!

Look at her judgment of people,

Lin Baici was perfect in every way—handsome and dashing, could serve as the face of the team, had an incredible physique, formidable fighting skills, and he was also intelligent, but he was just too kind.

Now with the addition of Gu Qingqiu, who didn’t mind walking the dark path, Xia Hongyao felt that the main frame of the team was finally coming together.

With these two people, all the God’s Ruins in the world, whether they exist for ten or twenty years, this team could break into them.

Xia Hongyao was excited to share, but then a big black arm stretched out nearby.

Without turning around, Xia Hongyao’s hand struck like a cobra, snapping at Okocha’s fingers with a twist and leveraging her waist to spring her legs up and wrap around Okocha’s arm like a python, then she forcefully twisted her body.

Like a crocodile’s death roll!

Most people faced with this move would be thrown to the ground, but Okocha’s lower body was stable, and his arm twisted 360 degrees without joint limitations.

Okocha cursed, his other hand swiping at Xia Hongyao.

Xia Hongyao’s strike missed, and she didn’t fall but instead, like a gecko, quickly climbed onto Okocha’s back and landed two punches to the back of his head.

Okocha’s vision blackened as he stumbled forward, sensing a deadly threat, he roared aloud.

Okocha was about to use Divine Grace, but just then, the Great Shaman’s voice rang out.

Okocha, filled with awe for the Great Shaman, complied unconditionally with the potentially deadly command, and immediately halted his movements.

He didn’t see that Xia Hongyao, with her legs wrapped around his arm, had already moved to his back, and after landing two punches with her right hand, her left hand held a dagger aiming for his neck.

As the black man suddenly stopped, Xia Hongyao, who wasn’t the type to press forward relentlessly, also paused and noticed the Great Shaman dressed in Native American shaman attire.

Xia Hongyao was surprised.

She hadn’t seen the person herself, but she’d seen many photos of this Great Shaman. The group leaders of the Huge Dragon Soul Group highly rated her.

’Half Victory’ was an avid fan of Shakira, saying that the Great Shaman’s Divination was extremely accurate. Red Ghost, meanwhile, had always wanted to have tea with her and ask if she had read the Teacher’s great works and whether she wanted to seek justice for the Native people.

Shakira smiled warmly, like a friendly and kind neighbor, which was very likable.

Her six team members all eyed Xia Hongyao—although not in combat stances, they were ready to assist Okocha if he was in danger.

Xia Hongyao jumped down from Okocha’s back, "Seems rather average!"

In her mind, anyone from the Yellowstone Group could be an elite, capable of annihilating an entire team by themselves.

This comment made Okocha, who had been calm, suddenly burst into rage, his dark face turning red as he felt humiliated.

The Great Shaman chided.

After speaking, Okocha stepped aside.

Huang Jinxiang felt he had still underestimated Xia Hongyao.

The gorilla looked fierce, but in a real fight, Xia Hongyao had an overwhelming advantage, even if she couldn’t immediately defeat him.

Quan Sangin was relieved. If Xia Hongyao had higher intelligence, Nine States might have to contend with another Xia Hongmian!

The conflict here attracted many competitors.

Of course, some were just there to see Kim Myungjin.

Well, now they had to add High Ponytail to the list.

Xiong Da, always a crowd-puller.

Hua Yue Yu ran over, overjoyed to see Lin Baici again.

She really wanted to give him a hug!

Gu Qingqiu walked leisurely, her gaze fixed on Shakira.

The Great Shaman came over, speaking Chinese very fluently, "Sorry, it was me who asked him to come and talk to you!"

Lin Baici shrugged his shoulders.

"You have an ancient ritual artifact with you, and I would like to borrow it for some research. Of course, as compensation, I can offer you three free divination sessions!"

Originally indifferent, the group from Okocha were stunned upon hearing this and turned to look at Lin Baici.

Li Yintong blurted out instinctively, reaching to pull Lin Baici’s arm, "Hurry up and agree!"

Quan Sangin and Kim Jinsoo were so envious they almost cried.

Lin Baici raised an eyebrow, deducing from their reactions that the lady next door must have made a generous offer.

Xia Hongyao leaned close to Lin Baici’s ear and whispered, "Xia Qila’s prophecies are incredibly accurate. Her reputation has spread beyond the God Hunters circle and is well-known throughout high society."

"Many of the world’s billionaires and political figures want her to divine for them, but she doesn’t take money, she just follows her moods!"

As they say, scarcity adds value; the more elusive something is, the more people crave it.

"Exactly, our museum director once used a heart of God’s bones just to get one chance at a divination!"

Li Yintong quickly reminded, "With that, our leader thought he got a huge bargain, so Brother Lin, don’t give up this opportunity!"

"Heart of God’s bones?"

Everyone gasped upon hearing this.

As the name suggests, God’s bones are remains of a deity; they are inherently extremely valuable, especially if the specific part can be identified.

A heart of God’s bones would naturally have extremely high research value, and it carries at least three Divine Graces.

"Yellow-skinned kid, you’ve struck it rich!"

The black girl in denim hotpants, Apesi, sized up Lin Baici.

Apesi often faced discrimination but also looked down on Asians herself.

The Great Shaman frowned, his tone filled with displeasure.

Apesi stuck out her tongue.

"Three divination sessions, and as long as I’m not dead, you can come to me anytime!"

The Great Shaman reiterated.

Everyone looked at Lin Baici, curious about what it was that Xia Qila was willing to offer such a huge price for just to study.

"Can I think it over?"

Lin Baici originally wanted to outright refuse, but they were about to participate in a big challenge together, and he worried the other party might cause trouble. By delaying, he might avoid a direct competitive slaughter.

Lin Baici was confident but not foolish; a minimum level of caution was prudent when dealing with a Dragon level opponent.

The Great Shaman was very understanding, "It’s your item, so you have the final say!"

"Thanks for your understanding!"

Lin Baici felt that the lady next door was quite nice.

"Excuse us, have fun in the game!"

The Great Shaman left, no longer disturbing Lin Baici and his group.

Apesi kept looking back at Lin Baici and the others as she walked away. Once they were at a distance, she curiously asked, "Great Witch, what does that yellow-skinned guy have on him? A Divine Prohibition?" Content originally comes from n̷o̷v̷e̷l̷f̷i̷r̷e̷.net

Xia Qila nodded, "I felt as if a voice was calling me!"

"Let’s just kill him!"

Okocha was still angry.

Xia Qila closed her eyes; she had intended to divine something about Lin Baici when she heard that voice but inexplicably sensed danger.

It felt as if divining would somehow affect her own destiny.

Before becoming a God Hunter, Xia Qila was a psychic, and her intuition was extremely accurate. In God’s Ruins, she didn’t want her destiny to undergo any major changes.

She would wait until they were out.

"God Lin, why didn’t you agree? She just wanted to borrow it, not buy it; you would have made a fortune!"

Quan Sangin thought Lin Baici was foolish, "I know Gold Leader once pleaded for just one divination session but didn’t get it!"

"What do you think she wants to borrow?"

Gu Qingqiu was curious.

"Is it that Society Death Sword?"

Xia Hongyao blinked her eyes; apart from Dragon Temple, Lin Baici had cleansed the pollution from the rules each time, and High Ponytail was always there, so she knew all about Lin Baici’s Divine Prohibitions.

"If Xia Qila gets hold of the Bronze Sword, who knows, it might reveal a big secret!"

Xia Hongyao laughed mischievously, like maybe Xia Qila was really androgynous.

Lin Baici rolled his eyes; the thought was absurd.

But he did have quite a few top-tier Divine Prohibitions, and he couldn’t figure out right away which one the lady next door wanted!

I wonder if the Paramour Pliers are effective?

I certainly can’t just pinch someone’s butt to check, can I?

If they are effective, she probably wouldn’t be mad.

Lin Baici introduced the Lady Boss to everyone, laughing and joking, and they hadn’t finished catching up when the stadium’s PA system began to speak.

[Break time is over; the first event, The Gluttony Challenge, is officially starting!]
