The Twin Sunflower Hunting Group and Wang Zhen's people converged, mounting their respective motorcycles.
Boggy and Sadie took the initiative to move to the front of the team, while Wang Zhen's side also selected four hunters to lead the way.
Ma Lu and Mai Mai continued to blend into the middle of the team, acting inconspicuously. Hulk followed closely beside Ma Lu with Methe, his gaze anxious, while Seta and three other hunters took up the rear.
Once ready, over a dozen motorcycles headed towards the Giant Curtain together.
With so many people moving at once, they were bound to make noise, and as soon as they appeared from behind the dunes, they immediately attracted the attention of nearby beasts.
However, those who had survived the beast tide and had managed to flee here were mostly quite skilled, and they killed the beasts before they could approach the convoy.

But as they drew closer to the Giant Curtain, the pressure began to mount.
The number of beasts had grown too large for the outer hunters to handle. Some took advantage of the chaos to penetrate the convoy; some were struck dead by the motorcycles, but others seized the opportunity to pounce on the riders.
One unlucky fellow was bitten on the shin by a Two-Headed Hyena and screamed as he was dragged off his motorcycle.
His companion wanted to stop and rescue him but heard Wang Zhen shout, "Don't get off! Speed through here, or it'll be troublesome if we get surrounded!"
At that, the companion hesitated, but ultimately, he grimly twisted the throttle.
Ma Lu saw that Mai Mai had stealthily taken out her Small Hand Crossbow, and Hulk had unsheathed his mechanical sword from his back, guarding Methe behind him. While driving with one hand, he swung the long sword around, keeping the nearby beasts at bay.
Ma Lu had wanted to take out his Hand Crossbow to take a few shots, but thinking about his terrible marksmanship, he cooled down.
Without the blessing, he wasn't even sure he would hit a stationary target on flat ground, let alone a moving target while on the move.
And missing was secondary; if an arrow went off course and hurt someone, that would be a real mess.
Nevertheless, Ma Lu's eyes lit up at the sight of so many prey. Normally, these beasts were scattered throughout the desert, and it was rare for them to be so gathered together. If he could unleash an Electric Field then, wouldn't the blessings skyrocket?
But Ma Lu glanced ahead and felt he could wait because there were obviously more beasts ahead, and saving up for a bigger group would be better for handling emergencies.
The convoy continued forward. They were now less than a kilometer from the Giant Curtain, but their speed had slowed down.
The Sickle-horned Antelopes ahead and the Two-Headed Hyenas that had been relentlessly pursuing the convoy could not avoid the wave of electric shocks.
But, the most unfortunate was the Grey-Spotted Cheetah still mid-air, already emanating the smell of char before even hitting the ground.
Mai Mai had used up the electricity stored in the motorcycle's battery as well, releasing electricity for nearly 10 seconds, clearing almost all enemies within a radius of twenty meters in one breath.
Afterward, her body weakened, and she fell forward.
But before she could hit the ground, Boggy, who had caught up from behind, held her, placing her on the back seat of his own.
"You've worked hard, leave the rest to us," Boggy said.
The scene stunned the other Hunters in the squad, with Hulk and Methe gaping in disbelief.
The young guards, though they had been closely following the Twin Sunflower Hunting Group, had not seen anything extraordinary about Ma Lu and Mai Mai.
When faced with the attacks of wild beasts, their performance was no different from that of other ordinary Hunters, no, it might have even been worse.
Mai Mai was only intermittently firing with a Small Hand Crossbow, while Ma Lu didn't even bother to draw a weapon, focused solely on dodging while driving the motorcycle.
When targeted by a wild beast, they would lure it to where there were more people, then quietly escape, which had Hulk furrowing his brows in doubt, wondering if he had misplaced his trust.
But then he witnessed the supposedly slacking Mai Mai rising to the occasion in a moment of crisis, transforming into thunder, carving a path through the vast sea of beasts, a heroic act of rescue!
The doubts in Hulk's heart evaporated instantly, and at that moment, all he wanted was to get closer to the other "big leg."
But when he turned his head, he found that Ma Lu had already jumped off his motorcycle and shouted to Seta behind him, "Give me a ride!"
After saying that, he got on Seta's motorcycle and then focused on poking and pointing at the empty space in front of him.
There would always be blessings after a squad battle.
Mai Mai had just unleashed her full power, eliminating dozens of wild beasts at once, and at the same time, Ma Lu also received a series of notification bombardments.
These blessings came at just the right time and could be used to fortify the squad, significantly enhancing the survival and combat abilities of the team members.
However, the prerequisite was to make the selection within 60 seconds; under these circumstances, Ma Lu certainly couldn't afford to be distracted by driving anymore.
