To survive, they had even created scarecrows, so killing a few more people carried no psychological burden.

“Don’t act rashly, we’re not sure yet!”

Wang Mingfu hurriedly intervened.

He looked at the charred remains of the bird-like creatures on the ground.

This was certainly not something a few torches could accomplish.

And then there was the large expanse of corpses spread out on the ground like a carpet.

How had they all died?

Suddenly, he thought of a possibility.

Could there be a God Hunter among these people?

Thinking this, Wang Mingfu immediately turned his gaze to Lin Baici, as everyone was looking to him for leadership.

Then, Wang Mingfu’s expression became respectful.

“Excuse me, boss, are you a God Hunter?”

It’s always better to be polite, and Wang Mingfu knew when to be humble.

Lin Baici bit into an eyeball that tasted like chicken, and while he chewed, he scrutinized Wang Mingfu, “How many scarecrows have you made?”

Wang Mingfu quickly revealed a helpless wry smile, “We also did it to survive, there was no other way.

Besides, we all decided by drawing lots, fair and square.

If someone was chosen to be a scarecrow, it was just bad luck!”

Although Lin Baici did not directly answer his question, he noticed that none of these people showed shock or surprise when they heard the phrase “God Hunter,” which meant they already knew the young man’s identity.

In that moment, Wang Mingfu’s emotions became complex.

He had heard that God Hunters possessed mysterious and formidable Strength, far beyond ordinary people.

Meeting a God Hunter in such a perilous situation should be a cause for happiness, since following them would likely mean survival.

But the problem was, he himself used to be the leader, in charge of commanding everything.

If he gave up control, he would lose his say in decision-making and the natural opportunity to seek benefits for himself.

Wang Mingfu was not indecisive.

He stopped his uncertainty immediately.

He decided to first observe the young man’s way of interacting with the world before making his move.

As long as someone is human, opportunities for manipulation and control can be found.

If they really couldn’t get along, he could just leave or even strike back.

With this in mind, Wang Mingfu adjusted his mindset.

Without waiting for Lin Baici’s response, he immediately complimented, “Using scarecrows to lure those Man-Eating Crows, you discovered this, didn’t you?

God Hunters truly are impressive.”

“I didn’t intend to hide it from you, but it’s just too inhumane to use people as scarecrows.

Even if I told you, I believe you wouldn’t accept it.

So I planned to wait until you’d seen the cruel horror of the Man-Eating Crows and accepted the reality before telling you!”

Wang Mingfu spread his hands, “I just didn’t expect you to be a God Hunter!”

“Enough with the act.”

Guo Zheng felt Boss Wang was too hypocritical, although his deductive abilities were strong—he had quickly guessed the identities of the two.

“You, come here and tell us everything you encountered in this forest of flesh!”

Lin Baici pointed to the elevator lady, who was in an even worse state after the Man-Eating Crows’ attack.

He didn’t ask Wang Mingfu to do the introduction because this guy was likely to lie.

“After we woke up, we were in a barren grassland and walked for a while without finding a way out, as if we were trapped in a maze, until we met a group of armored soldiers—they brought us here…”

The elevator lady was shaky as she spoke, due to nervousness and fear.

“Drink some water.”

Lin Baici took out a bottle of water from his backpack and handed it to the elevator lady.

His Black Tripod Bowl had a spare backpack inside, which he didn’t expect to use so soon, and it looked like he’d need to prepare a few more.

The expressions of Fang Wen and the others brightened, their eyes fixated on the bottle of water in Lin Baici’s hands, and they licked their lips.

The elevator lady’s face lit up with joy as she took it immediately, thanking him while eagerly twisting off the cap and gulping the water down.

Cough cough!

Cough cough!

Because she drank too hastily, some water ran down her parched, cracked lips.

“Boss, could I get a bottle?”

Fang Wen couldn’t hold back his request for water.

Lin Baici gave the muscular man a look.

He was clearly trained.

[A man who has claimed a boxing championship before.

Tough meat, bad for the teeth!]

“Heh!”

Lin Baici laughed to himself.

I have plenty of water, but what makes you think I should give it to you?

He had seen clearly earlier how these people were eyeing him, ready to make a move.

Ignoring the continuing gaze from Zhao Tong drinking water, Fang Wen spoke up, “I was a boxing champion and had been a fight coach in Palm Harbor for six years.

I can fight.

Can I join your team?”

When Wang Mingfu heard this, his eyebrows rose, but he held back from speaking.

The others were taken aback.

“Brother Fang, don’t do this!”

“Brother Fang, what will we do if you leave?”

“All this for a bottle of water, is it worth it?”

The crowd clamored, trying to persuade Fang Wen to stay, as he was the strongest fighter.

Without him, the team’s combat ability would significantly decrease.

Fang Wen paid no attention to them and kept his gaze on Lin Baici, “Boss, my performance will definitely be better than these people by your side!”

This wasn’t just about the water.

It was about finding the right tree to roost in.

Fang Wen had heard of the title God Hunter, but he didn’t know just how powerful they were.

However, Wang Mingfu’s attitude gave him an intuitive understanding.

This guy was tough and cruel—he had witnessed that for himself.

To establish his absolute authority over the team, Wang Mingfu had personally chopped up two dissenters.

And now, facing this young man, his attitude couldn’t be more reverent.
