As the group continued their journey, the black mushroom cloud grew larger and larger. Looking up, they found that a small portion of the sky was obscured. As they peered into the distance and deeper into the darkness, they were even gripped by a profound sense of fear, which intensified the psychological trauma of some of the merchants.

"This route will be relatively safe. The serpents and scorpions don't like the wet sand Cairo City. This wet sand retains the moisture from the rain very well. Although it's a bit muddy and the Camel Beast will move slower, it's still better than being feasted on by Demon Beast," Old Hala, who was leading the way, told everyone.

Some of the female passengers panicked and became frightened upon hearing this.

"Don't worry so much. In front of my students, venomous snakes are nothing but weak insects. As long as you adjust your mindset and don't let the demon of fear take over your reason and run around recklessly, you'll be fine." Vani was quite good at seizing opportunities, and immediately showed the aura of a leader, speaking to everyone with great composure and calmness.

"Haha, even if you paid me ten times the money, I wouldn't leave without them." Old Hala, who valued his life, said honestly to the group.

The businessman nodded and smiled as he glanced at the students from the European Academy.

"Hmph, just a bunch of students. They'll probably be the first to run away if things get really dangerous," said Chad, the mercenary captain.

After all, this was originally their mission, and they'd already come along to take the risk. If these people actually intervened in the end, even if they risked their lives, those damned unscrupulous merchants would probably say they didn't do anything, resulting in a reduction in their income!

Therefore, they showed absolutely no friendliness towards these students from the European Academy.

"Heh, I think you've run into some third-rate universities. How could students from there compare to those European Academy?" Vani had no sense of robbing someone else's business and was still showing off his own university.

The mercenary captain was displeased, but he didn't say anything more. After all, he wasn't Tang Miao...

They also lacked the courage to challenge the professors at the European Academy.

As they continued their journey, they encountered more and more wet sand, which made it much more difficult for the Camel Beast to move around. At this point, Ferrero, in a moment of foolishness, suggested that they walk.

Upon hearing this, Old Hala immediately and anxiously stopped them, saying, "We can't walk! Scorpion Demon are similar to spiders; their sensory organs are in their legs. The rough hairs on their legs can sense the fluctuations in the sand and soil. Different creatures create distinct fluctuations when they step on the soil, and the Scorpion Monster can clearly distinguish between humans and other creatures. Camel Beast are a species they aren't particularly interested in; even if they hear us, they usually won't bother attacking. But humans are different. They'll flock here like madmen, and no matter how we run, they can always track us down by sound!"

Ultimately, they make a living by guiding others, so they know far more than some mentors.

After all, as Mr. Gu Han once said, even many teachers have never stepped outside the Safe Zone.

How to defend against Demon Beast is something you have to experience yourself to learn.

After all, Demon Beast are constantly evolving, and what we know from textbooks is obviously incomplete.

Ferrero was somewhat embarrassed, but he didn't say anything.

After all, even a complete idiot knows this is no joke!

Seeing the puzzled crowd, Old Hala continued, "It's best not to go down to the ground. Believe me, no matter how strong you are, once you go down to the surface, hundreds or even thousands of monsters will rush towards you. At that time, you will regret underestimating the ancient Egyptian creatures; they are far more terrifying than you imagine!"

At this moment, Chad, the mercenary captain, finally had his chance to prove himself. He snorted coldly, spat out the grass he had been chewing, and said, "So listen to our commands and don't try to be clever and cause trouble for us!"

Neither Oni nor his students spoke this time.

After all, they didn't know much about Egypt. If they really provoked some Great Demon, it would indeed be a very troublesome matter.

Even the Oni has lost her previous confidence!

He was well aware of what it meant to have thousands of Demon Beast existing underground.

Because the road was difficult to travel, the Camel Beast's speed also slowed down. Unlike the rest of the team who were distracted, Tang Miao was still making fun of Heidi.

With strength comes confidence.

If he didn't have the ability, he wouldn't have come abroad to have fun!

As they ventured deeper into this land, thick, black clouds loomed overhead, and a stench of decay permeated the air. Many people had already covered their mouths and noses with scarves.

"Don't get separated, everyone stay with me. If we encounter any monsters, don't attack us first," Old Hala reminded everyone again after entering the area.

Seeing his expression, everyone became wary.

Most importantly, it's still quite a distance from here to the Safe Zone in Cairo.

Similarly, the location of the war is still a considerable distance away. However, no one can guarantee that all the Demon Beast are definitely within the battlefield...

After all, the outskirts of Suxin City are the best announcement!

When they left Suxin City, they encountered quite a few small groups of Demon Beast. However, seemingly intimidated, they did not launch any attacks.

But that's only because there were no Great Demon nearby; otherwise, even if they were cannon fodder, they would have rushed forward to stop them immediately...

As they drew closer to Cairo, Old Hala showed no sign of relaxing. Instead, he lowered his voice and said to the group, "Snake Mountain is three kilometers away. Keep quiet, and absolutely do not disturb them!"

This money is really hard to earn, after all, most of the people in this team are ordinary people, and it's really difficult to get everyone to cooperate wholeheartedly... That's why Old Hala repeatedly gave these instructions.

Mo Fan, out of curiosity, asked a question: What exactly is this Snake Mountain?

Old Hala was very forthcoming, recounting the origins of Snake Mountain in detail and even pointing it out to Mo Fan. It seemed he had high hopes for this studious student.

"Strange, didn't you guys notice that the mountain was moving?" Mu Bai suddenly asked after Old Hala finished explaining.

"It's normal for them to move; they're all snakes," Old Hala said nonchalantly.

"No, I mean they seem to be spreading out..." Mu Bai continued.
