Chapter 1035: Chapter 488: So What if You’re Good-Looking?

Watching the Dead Flesh Man sprinting toward him, its rotting, stench-ridden large foot stomped down toward his head. He Zi’ang let out a piercing scream.

"Save me!"

He Zi’ang scrambled desperately.

Lin Baici drove the snow sled over at breakneck speed. He had been ready to use the Clay Human to snipe at the Dead Flesh Man’s eyes, but Zhang Hao just fired a Crossbow Arrow, hitting the monster’s face.

Boom!

The Flame exploded.

"Hand!"

Lin Baici shouted, bent over, grabbed He Zi’ang’s arm, and yanked him onto the sled.

"Ah!"

The Dead Flesh Man roared angrily. Though blinded by the Crossbow Arrow, it followed the sound and swiped a paw towards the sled.

Zhang Hao immediately ducked his head, "Don’t go in a straight line!"

"I’m changing direction!"

The two shouted in unison.

Zhang Hao, who was about to shoot, stopped immediately. The next moment, the reindeer changed direction, bolting to the right, and due to the immense inertia, the sled was flung out.

"Ah!"

A terrified scream erupted from He Zi’ang, fearful of being thrown off.

Bang!

The sled landed on the ground, bouncing a few times before plowing two trenches into the earth.

The Dead Flesh Man pursued but couldn’t keep up.

Zhang Hao gave up shooting and glanced at Lin Baici.

Even though it was their first time working together, they were already in sync.

"Run! Run! That monster can’t be killed!"

He Zi’ang screamed.

"Shut up!"

Zhang Hao considered the Dead Flesh Man.

"Run, really, you can’t kill that monster!"

He Zi’ang urged.

"There are others here!"

A complete coward,

Zhang Hao cursed under his breath.

"You deserve to die!"

He Zi’ang blurted out with resentment in his voice, having nearly been killed by the monster with no one to save him.

Zhang Hao grabbed He Zi’ang’s hair in her right hand when she heard this.

"What are you doing?"

He Zi’ang’s head hurt, feeling like his scalp might be torn off, and then he was thrown off the sled by Zhang Hao.

Bang!

He Zi’ang crashed into the ground, screaming as he rolled several times, covered in mud.

Lin Baici looked toward Zhang Hao.

"A heartless jerk, not worth saving!"

Zhang Hao said coldly, He Zi’ang’s frantic words revealing his true nature. Such a person, even as a God Hunter, wasn’t worth sparing.

Lin Baici simply shrugged, offering no comment.

Roar!

From behind, within the fog, came the howl of the Dead Flesh Man.

"Let’s go!"

Zhang Hao straightened up, gripping the handrail of the sled.

"Go? I see Deng Mingyu!"

Lin Baici couldn’t believe Zhang Hao was actually suggesting this.

"What? Are you going to suck up to him?"

Zhang Hao teased.

"Heh, does someone Below Dragon Level deserve it?"

Lin Baici retorted.

Lin Baici looked down on Deng Mingyu for accepting bribes to help candidates cheat; he wouldn’t give the Dragon Level the time of day, regardless of his status.

"So, to you, even Dragon Level doesn’t deserve it, right?"

Zhang Hao could tell Lin Baici was particularly proud. If respected by others, he’d return it tenfold, but if he disliked someone, even in the face of a God, they couldn’t avoid a few slaps.

Lin Baici smiled faintly in acknowledgment.

"Deng Mingyu is the chief examiner; he’s obligated to rescue those following him. It’s none of our business."

Zhang Hao explained.

Lin Baici was about to speak when suddenly, a piercing whistling noise came from behind. The Dead Flesh Man, like a rocket, tore through the morning fog and barreled straight toward them.

In an instant, it had caught up to the sled.

Zhang Hao immediately raised the crossbow, ready to hold the enemy back, but Lin Baici was faster. Twisting his waist, he turned and threw a punch.

Winter Long Fist!

Bang!

The punch landed on the Dead Flesh Man’s head with an explosive sound.

The Dead Flesh Man fell to the ground, while Lin Baici, too, from the rebound force added to the speeding sled, was thrown off balance.

Just about to reach for the handrail, Zhang Hao had already caught his arm.

"Watch out!"

Zhang Hao felt the strong muscles on Lin Baici’s arm and suddenly found his presence very reassuring.

As an elite, Zhang Hao was always the first in the team to spot danger and to react, always filled with a sense of superiority, because she felt very capable.

But today, Lin Baici took the lead at every turn.

"This feeling isn’t bad at all!"

Zhang Hao mused, and the word "comfortable" involuntarily appeared in her mind.

Thud!

The Dead Flesh Man crashed to the ground, scrambled a few paces on all fours, then suddenly lunged forward like a cannonball.

Muscle Buddha appeared, but a moment too late to grab the Dead Flesh Man.

Lin Baici, anticipating this, hadn’t steadied himself before yanking the Paramour Pliers from his backpack.

As the Dead Flesh Man charged like a mad bull, Lin Baici gripped the pincers and swung fiercely.

Meat Shattering Strike!

Bang!

The Dead Flesh Man’s head was smashed to bits, chunks of flesh splattering everywhere.

This time, Lin Baici stood firm, so the blowback transferred to the sled, causing it to shudder, even affecting the reindeer.

In moments like these, the value of Top-tier Divine Prohibitions became apparent. The reindeer was unaffected by the sled’s tug and instead accelerated, leaving the Dead Flesh Man behind.

"Zhang Hao, Lin Baici, come here!"

Through the fog, Deng Mingyu’s shout carried over.

Lin Baici and Zhang Hao exchanged a look, each seeing the tacit understanding in the other’s smile.

To hell with anyone else, I’m out of here!

"Giddy up!"

Lin Baici snapped the reins.

The reindeer, summoned by the Divine Prohibitions and intelligent, needed no high-level driving skills from Lin Baici; pulling the left or right rein was enough to make it change direction.
