Global wonders have descended, and only I possess the treasure-hunting radar.

The strange words from the Northern Army group had barely faded when the light covering everyone vanished completely.

All the attacks that had previously targeted Wang and Yan have now disappeared.

The sandstorm was completely unaffected.

It was as if those attacks had never happened.

Lin Ji had already grasped the healing artifact.

Seeing this, he slowly released his grip.

"It seems we're no longer needed."

"Now that the Northern Army veterans have taken action, we can just wait and see what happens."

After Lin Ji finished speaking, he found a relatively flat spot to rest.

Wang Yan, however, was not as relaxed as him.

His gaze was fixed on the location of those calamities.

He was curious to see just how powerful the Tiger Talisman, the extraordinary item that the headquarters had managed to deliver into the Heavenly Chess Game without much effort, truly was.

After all, since they were sent into the [Tianyuan Chess Game] by headquarters as special S-level combat power, the Northern Army would never just drag them into the desert.

On the other side, those calamities were unaware of the impending danger and were very confident in their own strength.

Several low-level calamities, finding their attacks had disappeared, hesitated for a moment, then began to clamor even more fiercely.

"It's just a domain! Our boss has a domain too!"

"Once our boss breaks through here, none of the humans on the other side will be able to escape."

"The one in the white shirt is mine; I like young girls."

Although the younger brother's shouts rang out one after another.

But the calamity, covered in black spikes, did not laugh.

He kept observing the surrounding yellow sand.

As a calamity possessing a domain, he knew all too well the difficulty of the domain before them.

There are no clear boundaries, and the core of maintaining the domain, namely the objects that release the domain, cannot be seen.

What's more troublesome is that he can't sense from which direction the domain rules are coming from, or what type they are.

The thorn calamity initially suspected Wang and Yan.

However, after seeing Wang and Yan standing there watching the show, his assumptions were instantly shattered.

He strongly suspected that a towering human being lurked in the shadows.

He even suspected that the humans' teleportation here was a trap, a signal for a counterattack.

With this in mind, Spiked Calamity was very clear that his primary goal was to send the signal out.

Then, we just need to wait for his rescue.

But looking at his underlings around him, he felt a surge of pride that he couldn't lose face.

After all, those who follow him will most likely become his subordinates in reality.

Since that's the case, he simply raised his spiked arm and sneered.

"It's nothing but a piece of sand; watch how I tear it apart!"

As soon as he finished speaking, all the black spikes on his back opened.

A heavy, grayish-white force spread outwards.

Hills of white bones rose from the ground, their massive ribs forming walls that protected all calamities within.

Countless bony arms extended from the ground, reaching out to grab all living things outside the domain.

Those calamities who were originally suppressed by the Tiger Talisman's domain were greatly encouraged upon seeing this.

"It's the domain [Ten Thousand Bones Wasteland]!"

"No matter how many times I watch it, it's still so powerful!"

Hearing his underlings' shouts, Spiked Calamity smiled.

However, he also knew that revealing it once was enough; the focus now was on sending signals outward.

Just as he was about to use his domain to attack Wang Yan and his companion, hoping to find a chance to escape, he suddenly realized...

His smile suddenly froze.

Because he discovered that the outermost ring of white bones in his domain, the "Ten Thousand Bones Wasteland," had turned into yellow sand without warning.

There are no rule-based collisions.

There was no power to explode.

The yellow sand only moved forward a short distance before swallowing the entire circle of bone domain.

Upon seeing this, the thorny calamity shuddered violently.

A mouthful of grayish-white blood spurted from his mouth.

He took several steps back, and the spikes on his back dimmed considerably.

The calamities that were just shouting have all shut up.

They knew very well how strong their leader was.

Once the [Ten Thousand Bones Desolate Tomb] is activated, it can directly clash with other domains of the same level.

But now, in just one exchange, the Bone Domain was swallowed up, and the leader was even directly injured.

"How is that possible?"

A low-level calamity spoke instinctively.

Spiked Calamity frowned as it sensed the wounds on its body.

He knew he was no match for this desert region.

Then he turned sharply to look at the lower-level calamities, and began to weigh whether or not he should take them with him.

But it was only this moment of hesitation.

This completely extinguished his hope of escape.

Suddenly, the yellow sand in the distance parted to both sides.

The sound of orderly footsteps came from behind the sand dunes.

A dense array of enormous figures appeared.

Some were dressed in ancient black iron armor and carried large swords.

Some were dressed in iron armor, riding horses, but carrying rocket launchers.

Further back, several tanks bearing the banner of the fierce tiger rolled over the yellow sand.

Wooden armored vehicles, equipped with heavy machine guns and automatic grenade launchers, were also moving rapidly on both sides of the tank.

Ancient military formations mixed with modern weapons look quite bizarre.

But judging from their synchronized steps and slogans...

These were undoubtedly the more than one thousand Northern Army soldiers.

When they stopped at the same time, all the sense of chaos disappeared.

Infantry lined up.

The cavalry pinned down the flanks.

Tanks and armored vehicles lock onto the bone zone.

As a series of overlapping military orders resounded over the yellow sand.

"Fire."

The next moment, all the gun barrels simultaneously spat out sparks.

The bullets formed a dense barrage, hitting the outer defensive barrier first.

The tank's main gun then struck the bone wall.

Large swathes of bones were blasted into the sky.

The explosions continued in succession.

The area that Spiked Calamity was so proud of was as if it had been struck by countless hammers.

One massive rib after another broke.

Bone Mountain was leveled by artillery fire.

The skeletal arms responsible for repairs had barely emerged from the ground when they were torn to shreds by machine gun fire.

After a few breaths, the first layer of bone wall completely disappeared.

The low-level calamities hidden inside were directly exposed to the firepower.

Before they could even escape, their bodies were shattered by bullets and shrapnel.

They seek to ward off calamities by using wondrous objects.

The next shell immediately landed on his head, killing him instantly.

A Northern Army soldier was pierced through the chest by a bone spear as he charged forward.

His body turned into yellow sand, but in the blink of an eye, he emerged from the rear army formation.

When he reappeared, the soldier's bulletproof vest had turned into black armor.

The rifles in their hands also had more wooden components.

"There seem to be some kind of restrictions after the resurrection?"

Wang Yan said softly upon seeing this.

As soon as he finished speaking, the yellow sand in front of him condensed into a figure.

Then, the overlapping voices of countless people rose up.

"That's right, as long as the Tiger Tally's domain remains unbroken, the Northern Army will not truly perish."

"But each time they rejoined the ranks, they were members of the Northern Army, closer to the original era of the Tiger Tally."

"First protective gear, then weapons, and finally ideology..."

After saying that, the figure looked at Wang Yandao.

"Hello, this is our first formal meeting. I am currently the main commander of this Northern Army consortium. You can call me Northern."

"Wang Yan!"
