With My System, I Can Even Tame Gods

Outside of the Flower Oasis, the Triple Axis group and the Treasure Hunter group, the other mercenary group that they cooperated with were currently hiding inside of a bush.

Around them were several other bushes that had only bloomed because they were close to the oasis, which was a source of water, so it wasn’t as if they stuck out like a sore thumb like this.

In the desert outside of this green patch, there seemed to be nothing there.

But if one looked carefully, they could see tiny shifts in the grains of sand of that desert.

That was enough to show that there was something lurking beneath the surface of the desert.

And that was what was keeping them hiding inside of these bushes.

They had come out to have a secret discussion about what to do with the ‘Mu Bao Bao’ situation when they had suddenly been ambushed. They didn’t know who it was that ambushed them, they had just been suddenly attacked by a wave of sand.

If it wasn’t for the Triple Axis group using their powers to block this, they would have already been dragged down under the sand.

It was also a lucky thing that there was this area with greenery on it.

Since there were plants growing here, that meant that there was dirt and not sand under this place. As long as they hid here, they wouldn’t be bothered by the enemy’s sand attacks.

They were certain that the other side was only in the Qi Gathering Realm, or else they wouldn’t have bothered hiding and ambushing them. If they were in the Foundation Realm, they would have directly attacked and killed them already.

So this enemy in the Qi Gathering Realm wouldn’t be able to control the sand to attack them all the way here.

They could use the sand wave because they were in the desert with plenty of sand, so it didn’t take much spiritual energy to control it. But if they were on land like this, it would be impossible for them to control enough sand to attack them.

But the problem was that they were still hiding out in the desert, so they couldn’t do anything to the enemy.

This patch of land wasn’t connected to the city, so it wasn’t as if they could escape.

Eventually, they would have to leave this patch of land and go into the desert since they couldn’t just survive out here.

To do that, they had to find the enemy and take care of them before they were starved out.

No, it was more likely that they would run out of water in a place like this.

In the desert, water was the most important thing and even if they did know this as mercenaries from a desert city, there was only so much water that they could carry with them. So they would eventually run out of water at this rate.

In fact, with how hot it was today, it was likely that they would run out of water by the end of the day.

It was currently noon and it was already burning hot, so they had no choice but to chug down water.𝗈𝐯𝓁xt.𝗇𝓔t

The members of the Treasure Hunter group were fully using their abilities to find the enemy.

They had special cultivation techniques that helped enhance their hearing and vision, that allowed them to see and hear things that normal people wouldn’t.

But even then, they weren’t able to find a single thing since they were hidden under the desert.

Finally, the three from the Triple Axis couldn’t take it anymore.

If they couldn’t find the enemy, then they would have no choice but to break through with strength. They had already been able to blow away the wave of sand that had come at them, so they believed that they should be able to break through any attacks that came at them.

But before they could go out, the leader of the Treasure Hunters group stopped them.

The leader said, “Wait, if you go out there now, you’ll just be worn down by their continuous attacks from different directions. You’ll never be able to make it back to the city with just pure force.”

The three from the Triple Axis knitted their brows, but it wasn’t because they were dissatisfied. It was because they knew that he was right.

If they tried rushing out now, they would just be surrounded by different waves of sand that would slowly wear them down until they couldn’t do a thing.

But it wasn’t as if staying here was an option…

Seeing the look on the faces of these three, the leader of the Treasure Hunters said, “We have another option.”

When they heard this, the three of them looked surprised before revealing looks of blame for withholding this information.

The leader of the Treasure Hunters saw this, but he said with a bitter smile, “It’s a last resort, so I didn’t want to use this plan unless I had to.”

The three of them were confused hearing this, but they remained silent and waited for him to explain.

The leader of the Treasure Hunters didn’t explain and instead looked at one of the members of this group.

When this person saw this, he just gave a silent nod and started taking off some of his equipment.

This just made the three of them even more confused when they saw this.

Then before any of them could ask what was happening, that person who had taken off his equipment suddenly started running forward. Before they could react, he had already run off the dirt and ran off into the desert.

The three of them couldn’t stop him and could only watch as he ran out.

The middle aged man immediately turned to the leader of the Treasure Hunters and asked, “What is he doing? Is he asking to die?”

The leader of the Treasure Hunters just said with a serious look, “Just be ready to attack when they show themselves.”

ραΠdαsΝοvεl.cοm The three of them were confused once more when they heard this, but seeing the serious look that the leader of the Treasure Hunters had, they decided to suspend their disbelief and see where this went.

After that person ran out, as one would expect it, he was immediately surrounded by walls of sand.

There was only a single wall first that came from in front of him, but then there were several other walls of sand that appeared around him that quickly trapped him in a box.

When the three from the Triple Axis saw this, they all grabbed their weapons as if they were planning on going out, but the leader of the Treasure Hunters stopped them. When the three of them looked at him with disappointed looks, he just shook his head and signaled for them to wait.

While they were disappointed and confused, they still listened to him in the end.

With how he was surrounded, it didn’t take long before that person who had run out was completely surrounded by the walls of sand and then the sand collapsed onto him. It created a burial with him in the center and he was completely trapped in a world of sand.

The three from the Triple Axis found this hard to watch since they all thought that he was dead, so they couldn’t help turning away from this scene.

When the sand burial was over and all of the sand returned to the ground, the corpse of the person who ran out was revealed.

It was just lying there in the sand without moving at all, seeming like a corpse no matter how one looked at it.

With this, the leader of the Treasure Hunters gave a nod to one of the female members.

When she saw this, she raised her hands and there was a barrier that appeared around them.

It didn’t take long before there were several figures that suddenly appeared in the desert. They stood above the corpse of that person and then looked around as if they were looking for something.

When they did this, the Triple Axis and Treasure Hunters group immediately recognized them.

These were the infamous C Ranked Mercenary Group, the Sand Scorpions.

Unlike them who usually took upright jobs, this group only took jobs that involved…murder.

They were a group that had their hands stained in blood, so they were a very dangerous group.

As for why they had attacked them…they didn’t really need to guess to know that it was related to the ‘Mu Bao Bao’ situation.

After looking around for a bit, one of them said, “I don’t sense them anywhere here. It seems like they used this one as bait and ran away while we were focused on him.”

When the others heard this, they all shook their heads with faint smiles before another person said, “It seems that they are quite ruthless, they would even abandon one of their comrades just to escape.”

When the three from the Triple Axis heard this, they couldn’t help clenching their fists.

That was because this was exactly the kind of behaviour that they looked down on and what they thought this situation was.

The leader of the Treasure Hunters had clearly abandoned that member of his group to draw their enemies away while they were hiding there.

This cowardly thing was not something that the three of them could accept.

But before they could say anything, the leader of the Treasure Hunters suddenly said, “Go! Take them out now!”

When they received this signal, the three of them suppressed their feelings of frustration and disappointment. Instead, they put all of their frustration into their blades as they jumped out from the barrier and charged at the Sand Scorpions.

They would let their blades deal out this frustration!
