Chapter 1594
“Lin Feng?” Han Sen asked when he heard the man’s voice . With much glee, he ran over to him .

Encountering friends in such a place was always a very happy occurrence .
“Why are you here?” They asked at the same time, prompting them both to laugh in unison .
Lin Feng shook the sand and dust out of his hair and patted himself down . With a smile, he said, “Jing Jiwu and I have been on a streak of good luck . We were able to meet each other and level up out here . We have been here for a few years, so you might consider us natives of the place . ”
“That’s fantastic . With you guys here, we can hunt creatures with greater ease . ” Han Sen was looking excited .
Han Sen had no doubt concerning the breadth of Lin Feng and Jing Jiwu’s potential power . Some people were simply good, no matter where they went . Jing Jiwu and Lin Feng were such people . They were the best of the best .
“We can take you there, but first, we will have to wait for the sandstorm to pass . The sandstorm has gotten too strong . Heading into it now will surely hurry our demise . ” Lin Feng smiled .
“Old Lin, are there any solo super creatures out there to your knowledge?” Han Sen asked, after sitting down near the fire Lin Feng prepared for them . He had also been offered food and drink .
Lin Feng nodded . “There are quite a few . Jiwu and I have been observing them for a while, and I believe there are a few we can kill . When the sandstorm ends, we can call on Jiwu . ”
Han Sen shook his head . “Whatever target you have in mind is yours . I will go for ones I find myself . ”

Lin Feng smiled and said, “We have only seen them . We don’t yet have the experience to hunt them, so the ones we have in mind can’t really be called targets . Hunting with you, however, would let us gain experience and what-not . That is good enough . But this sandstorm will have us trapped inside here for a few days, I am afraid . ”
The sandstorm was fierce . The noise outside was like howling thunder, but the soothing vocals still echoed softly under it all . It was a song that could most certainly hypnotize a person into a deep sleep .
As Han Sen was talked with Lin Feng, he did not realize that Bao’er had been enticed by the acoustics . So, she crawled out of the cave .
Han Sen was shocked when he noticed . He ran towards the entrance, and uncaring for the sandstorm, he ran out into it . He called out Bao’er’s name, wanting her to come back .
As soon as he exited the cave’s mouth, though, a lot of black and yellow sand came his way . He couldn’t see Bao’er, or even his own hands .
The severity of it all prompted Han Sen to return . Lin Feng and Xu Mi ran towards him . The former said, “You shouldn’t go out there . The sandstorm is far too powerful . I once saw a giant snake flee into it . When the dust settled, only its bones remained . ”
Once Lin Feng said that, Han Sen’s worry about Bao’er increased .
Bao’er was strong, but Han Sen still considered her his child . Just like any parent, it did not matter how well their child grew up, they still harbored a strong yearning to keep them protected .
“Wait for me here . I’ll be back,” Han Sen said, then ran back out of the cave again . This time, he summoned the Bulwark Umbrella as he went .

Lady Chef wished to stop Han Sen, but she couldn’t . Han Sen was too quick .
When he opened the umbrella, though, the sand outside was parted . The sand could no longer harm Han Sen, but still, he was unable to see much . The storm was like a dragon in the sky, circling him .
“Bao’er!” Han Sen used the umbrella while calling out for Bao’er . Unfortunately, his voice was silenced in the midst of that storm, even if he used his sonic powers .
Han Sen frowned . He suddenly saw something flash inside the sandstorm . Eventually, Bao’er came racing into the shelter provided by the Bulwark Umbrella .
“Bao’er, why did you go running off like that? It’s dangerous out here!” Han Sen picked her up . He was happy he had found her, but he maintained a stern tone to tell her off .
“Dad, take a look at this . It’s beautiful!” Bao’er raised her chubby hand . She was holding onto something Han Sen had never seen before .
It was a ring made of gold . The stone at its center was jade, around the same size as a pigeon’s egg .
Seeing its style and the quality of its production, Han Sen deduced it was the craftwork of a human . Beings in the sanctuary would not put in the time or effort to create something that was pretty much just a luxury and nothing more .
“Bao’er, where did you get this from? Did someone die out here?” Han Sen asked her as he took the ring .

“I got it over there, but it’s just a ring . ” Bao’er pointed in a particular direction, but nothing was visible due to the storm .
Han Sen was unable to see what she was pointing towards, but he couldn’t see the entrance of the cave behind him, either .
“Forget it, let’s go back . If someone did die out there, there’s nothing we can do about it now . ” Han Sen held Bao’er and returned to the cave .
Han Sen remembered the direction to go back and he wasn’t led astray . He managed to get back to the cave without harm .
When Lin Feng saw Han Sen return, he and the rest all felt relief . Too many creatures had died in this sort of sandstorm .
This was Xu Mi’s first time there, but Lin Feng had occupied this area for a few years . He knew how dangerous this region could be, and he was very surprised to see Han Sen make it back .
“Lin Feng, do you recognize this?” Han Sen threw him the ring Bao’er had found .
Lin Feng had been there for a few years, so he should have known the other humans in the area . Perhaps he could put a name to the person the ring may have once belonged to .
Lin Feng examined the ring, but as soon as he did, his face changed . He stood up, staring at the ring . “Where did you get this?”
“I got it out in the desert . Do you know who it belongs to?” Han Sen could sense something was amiss .
“This is Jiwu’s ring . His first girlfriend gave it to him, back when he was in school . He always wore it, and he would never take it off, let alone leave it behind someplace . ” Lin Feng stared out into the sandstorm before clenching his jaw .
“He came out here with you? Why is he not here with us now?” Han Sen’s heart jumped .
“He didn’t come with me . He should be in the shelter . Why would his ring be out here?” Lin Feng looked so shocked, and he kept his gaze fixed on the sandstorm .
Before Han Sen said anything more, though, Lin Feng rushed right out into the sandstorm, ring in hand .
As this was happening, the song that tainted the wind changed . The voice that had no words suddenly said something summoning-like .
“Han Sen… Han Sen…”
