On the surface, Hunter appears to be a refined and easy-going scholar.

According to his own account, he poisoned 36 members of his enemy family to avenge his father.

Because his enemies were guilty of grave crimes, Hunter's actions also had an element of chivalry. Ultimately, the Spirit Hall did not sentence him to death, but instead exiled him here.

Hunter led Wu Qi and the other two to the campfire inside the camp.

Not long ago, their team hunted down a giant lizard and finally got to eat some meat.

"Young men, aren't you going to introduce yourselves and why you're here?" the woman in charge of grilling the meat couldn't help but ask.

The woman had a hideous scar on her face and a burly build; she was clearly not someone to be trifled with.

In addition, the unbearable heat in the desert region leaves people with almost no energy or motivation to harbor evil thoughts.

Wu Qi chuckled and said, "I was originally the young master of a mountain stronghold. Those bastards from the Spirit Hall said that my father killed their genius, and they launched a siege against our stronghold for no reason."

"After the trial, they said that although I had not done any evil deeds, I had eaten bread made from human blood, and that I was a wolf cub, so they exiled me here!"

"Once I get out, I will definitely kill those bastards from the Spirit Hall."

As for Chen Ping and Qian Gu Chang Kong, their sins were particularly grave, but because they were not the masterminds of the group, they were spared and exiled here.

Of course, all of this was made up by Wu Qi.

The woman chuckled and said, "Since you've all seen blood, that makes things easier."

"If we encounter other groups of wanderers on the road, the three of you can supplement our team's strength."

Qian Gu Chang Kong feigned confusion and asked, "Big sister, where are we going? Is our main mission to find a group of wanderers nearby and rob them of their supplies?"

In order to give these people hope of survival, the Spirit Hall would tell them that there were large oases in the desert when they were sent to the Lost Canyon, where there were not only delicious fruits, but also habitable cities.

That's why the exiles don't fight each other for no reason; they all want to go to the oasis and live a good life.

Hunter replied, "Of course we're going to the Oasis. Don't you know that?"

Wu Qi added, "When we were exiled, that damned Spirit Hall expert berated us. We didn't want to listen to his nonsense, and we probably missed the information about the oasis at that time."

"Fortunately, we found the team."

Hunter stopped asking questions and began to explain the benefits of the oasis to them.

However, they didn't know where the oasis was, so they could only keep moving forward. Counting the time, it had been more than half a year since their team was formed.

After a pause, Hunter added, "I forgot to introduce you. This Mr. Chen is our captain, and I am the vice-captain."

The woman greeted him but didn't say anything more.

Among the exiles, in addition to comparing their strength, their crimes were also a point of comparison.

Chen Nan possesses the strength of a Soul Emperor, but she is not the only Soul Emperor in the team.

The fact that he could become the captain shows how grave his sins were.

However, at a place like this, discussing the enormity of the crimes is meaningless.

If they hadn't joined Chen Nan's team, Wu Qi and the other two would have been unaware of the situation here.

If they are hijacked by the Exiles squad, they will likely be in big trouble.

As for why the other party easily recruited them into the team, their age was the best proof.

Adding to the fabricated experiences of Wu Qi, anyone would see them as nothing more than hotheaded fools who only knew how to fight and kill.

Chen's team was small, with only ten people including Wu Qi and the other two.

However, the key to personnel success lies in quality; everyone's strength is above that of a Soul King.

Wu Qi has the ability to conceal his aura, and his outward strength is also at the Soul King level.

A team of ten strong individuals would be enough for them to roam freely to the oasis. Wu Qi said, "Captain Chen, why don't we head west?"

“My martial spirit has the ability to fly. I have flown to high altitudes to investigate. This place seems to be a desert that stretches from east to west. We are currently in the eastern part of the desert. If we head west, we will have the highest probability of finding an oasis.”

Chen and his accomplices had already noticed this.

She was exiled to the Lost Canyon at dawn, when the sun was in the east and had its back to her.

Once inside, the natural course of travel is westward.

But don't forget, there are no directional signs here, not even any landmarks.

So, the team hadn't actually gone very far; they were still circling around in the vicinity.

Wu Qi took out a homemade compass from his pocket. "My father used to work at sea and knows how to make a nautical compass."

"After I came in, I found some materials and made this little gadget myself."

Having decided to travel with the other party for a period of time, Wu Qi had no reason to keep anything to himself.

In places like this, regardless of whether one is a strong individual or not, as long as one's strength has not broken through to the Title Douluo level, sticking together is always the right choice.

Generally speaking, people who commit serious crimes are not well-educated and would not know the intricacies of the situation.
Truly intelligent people are those who commit crimes with high IQs. They either never get caught, or if they are, they will definitely be executed.

After all, the Spirit Hall did not want any shrewd individuals among the exiles, as unifying these exiles would pose a threat to the Spirit Hall.

Chen, not understanding the principles of the compass, instead entrusted Wu Qi with an important task, saying, "In that case, you will be the leader of the team."

"Keep it up, I believe in you guys. Work hard, and everyone will have something to eat."

……

After enjoying a delicious meal of roasted lizard, Wu Qi and his two companions were placed in a separate tent.

He breathed a slight sigh of relief and said, "Everyone, put away your soul tools."

Those exiled are imprisoned beforehand. Except for their clothes, all their jewelry and soul-guided devices are confiscated.

Wu Qi felt fortunate that the large bags of fruit they were carrying had inadvertently slipped through the checkpoint.

Qian Gu Chang Kong couldn't help but ask, "Angkor, do you really want to associate with these people?"

Wu Qi whispered, "During the training mission, we are not prohibited from teaming up with exiles."

Even if Chen and his group are stupid, they still have some outstanding qualities.

Even if Wu Qi and the other two were very clever, they still had shortcomings.

Moreover, they have no choice now.

Walking forward in complete darkness, encountering trouble, and even being unable to solve it.

Following Chen's team meant that even if they encountered serious trouble, at least someone would stay behind to "draw fire."

Chen Ping agreed, "I trust the captain's judgment. However, we must also respect local customs and not reveal our identities."

The three spoke in hushed tones, and Wu Qi quietly released his Blue Silver Domain to isolate the conversation.

Outside, the man peering over the wall heard nothing of the conversation.

Wu Qi was not surprised by the appearance of this man.

After all, we are all criminals who have committed all sorts of evil deeds, so it is normal to maintain the necessary vigilance.

Of course, excessive silence would make them seem like they have something to hide.

Before long, at Wu Qi's instigation, everyone started shouting and chatting about trivial matters. (End of Chapter)
