874: Chapter 426: The King’s Invitation_2 874: Chapter 426: The King’s Invitation_2 “You effortlessly pierced through the Armadillo Monster’s defense using the power of the gods.

You have slain the Armored Pangolin, experience 17, lifespan 1, you have obtained ‘Armadillo Monster Scales’ *17 …”

…

“You see the sand ahead start to surge, and suddenly a dry, bandaged hand erges from the sand, followed by a desert mummy staggeringly crawling out of the sand towards you…”

“…

You sublimate the desert mummy into powder with a Holy Light spell …”

…

“…

Reaching a sand dune, you suddenly hear rustling sounds beneath the sand, and a ‘Mother of Holy Beetles’ (Level 19) violently bursts out from underground and swiftly summons dozens of Holy Beetles from the surrounding sand.”

“The Holy Beetles quickly crawl up onto your body and that of the Drought-resilient Cal, burrowing into your skin and beginning to gnaw at your innards…”

“The Drought-resilient Cal lets out a cry of agony and is torn apart by the Holy Beetles…”

“Rewind…”

The mummy encounters from before were manageable, but these beetles are tricky; they burrow right into the body upon contact, making them hard to fight.

Mu You had no choice but to deploy his big weapon: chanical Armor Skin!

“As ti flows, you anticipated the encounter with the Holy Beetles, dismounted the cal, and switched to your chanical Armor Skin.”

“Notice, the power furnace in the chanical Armor Skin is currently underpowered, the output greatly reduced, Charge Cannon and Auto-aiming Circuit, along with several other epic-level parts, are inoperative.

Would you like to switch skins?”

“You ignored the warning, boldly stepped onto the sand dune.”

“A massive swarm of Holy Beetles re-erges, swarming towards you, gathering at your feet, yet they find themselves powerless against your steel body.”

“Arm cannons spiral into view on your arms, shotguns on each arm spew out flas, and Holy Beetles on the ground squeal as their bodies burst open and die…”

The Ancient Power Furnace was given to Eugene for constructing the City of Eternal Night; now, Mu You only had so ordinary power furnaces available, significantly reducing the combat effectiveness of his chanical Armor Skin, but still, it was more than enough to handle a few beetles.

“You search the area and pick up ‘Holy Beetle Shells’ *36.”

These Holy Beetle shells are a fine material for Magic dicine, and since they are only found in the desert and are rarely seen, now was a good opportunity to collect more.

Besides, Mu You discovered that due to severe drought in the desert, Water Magic is ineffective as water elents are scarce, whereas Fire Magic’s power could almost double.

However, contrary to expectations, Fire Magic doesn’t shine here at all; almost all creatures in the desert have resistance to the Fire Elent, and many are even completely immune to fire, not to ntion the monsters, even the Drought-resilient Cal he was riding was naturally immune to fire damage.

Thus, typically, neither Water nor Fire Magicians would venture into the desert on their own, as they would find themselves in a very awkward situation here.

Continuing on, Mu You stepped over the bodies of mummies and beetles, and after about two hours, finally reached his destination.

“You have arrived at Ezomal City.

This is the capital of the Ezomal Empire, located on one of the rare oases within Blue Stone Desert, and is the only major city on this vast desert continent.”

“You enter Ezomal City, entering a golden world; all buildings in the city are constructed with blue-yellow sandstone, cubic temples, and towers are everywhere, and all the natives on the streets are dressed in clothing and headscarves to protect against the sands …”

“Leading your cal into the city, your distinctly different skin color imdiately attracts the attention of countless natives.”

“Ignoring these gazes, you look around, noticing many local specialty shops waiting for your patronage, you decide to head to …”

The desert city turned out to be more prosperous than expected, presenting many options imdiately upon entry, including various shops, local travel agencies, restaurants, and more.

Just as Mu You was about to ask soone where he could rent landships, an unexpected ssage suddenly popped up in the ga.

“Just as you entered the city and paused near the city gate, two n dressed as soldiers suddenly stopped in front of you.”

“Both were wearing uniform armor of the Ezomal Empire’s army and holding Long Halberds, clearly regular troops here.”

“You look at the two n with a slight wariness, your hand reaching for your Magic Wand in your sleeve, but then you hear one of them speak politely, ‘Excuse , are you Mr.

Ghost Captain?'”

Mu You was taken aback.

Being stopped by locals, even being recognized as the Fool, wouldn’t surprise him, but what shocked him was that they knew his identity outright?

He was currently hiding his ID, using only an ordinary Watchman skin, and even had “A Thousand Faces” enabled, so how could they recognize him?

Mu You furrowed his brow, not replying imdiately but first sent a private ssage to Solomon on the forum asking if he had divulged his itinerary to anyone.

The only people who knew about his trip to the desert were a few close associates and Solomon.

“Reveal the itinerary?

No, what’s up, big shot, what happened?” Solomon’s response seed puzzled.

“Oh, nothing, just asking, don’t mind .” Mu You casually replied, using Solomon’s tone as a preliminary confirmation that it likely wasn’t Solomon who had revealed it, and Solomon didn’t have a reason to do so.
