Chapter 364: The Hermit
"This should be the last 'Sky Punisher' in the Federation?"
"Look at the size of this guy, that is, the number of nano-mechanical bugs, is far greater than the 'Heavenly Punisher' I encountered."
On the green hills thousands of meters away, Bai Zhi stood high on the cliff and looked at the battle in the yellow mud embankment. The message of "The Punisher" appeared in front of his eyes.
[Object]: Heavenly Punisher (Unknown)
【Vitality】: None
[Body length]: 70m
[Status]: Stable
Even the information about Zhanxing and Giant Crocodile also appeared.
[Object]: Zhanxing
【Vitality】：1590
[Body length]: 175cm
【……】
[Object]: Decaying Crocodile Demon (Demon King Species)
【Vitality】：1770
[Body length]: 190m
[Status]: Seriously injured, weak; on the verge of losing control
"This crocodile monster is dead, and no one can save it. The top three secret-keepers in the federation plus the 'God Punisher' are already the two trump cards of the federation. If it can't be killed, it's simply unreasonable. Allow……"
"I faced a similar desperate situation back then, and I relied on the arrival of the 'Blood Moon Witch' to survive."
"So, unless it can attract the gods to descend, there will be no chance of survival."
"The only one who can possibly launch a divine descent should be the 'Crocodile Ancestor'. If he doesn't care about the life and death of his family members, there is no need for other gods to intervene..."
"Of course, the 'Crocodile Ancestor' may have died or been sealed, and he cannot take action himself. Can he only call for some support?"
"Speaking of which, why did Shi Ning get involved in this matter? It's impossible for the Secret Guard Bureau not to know that she is a member of the Jiuli Sect, and Li Yuan helped me not long ago..."
Just as Bai Zhi was clasping her hands and muttering, she suddenly felt a little uneasy, as if she had been stared at by a pair of eyes for a long time.
Yes, for a long time.
With her hair standing on end, she suddenly looked back and saw a figure who had appeared behind her at some unknown time.
"Who are you?!"
Bai Zhi was surprised that someone could hide from the detection of his spiritual intuition and 'Spider Sense' and silently approach him at this distance.
It was a human wearing a white linen shirt, a dark red coat, and medium-long black hair.
I saw him holding an astronomical instrument and holding a book with brass eyes in his right hand. He was clearly standing there, but there was no breath of life. He couldn't see his face clearly, and he couldn't tell the difference between male and female.
His face seemed to be covered by a frosted glass filter, making it impossible to see his true appearance. He could only vaguely feel that his facial features were probably good.
What caught Bai Zhi's attention the most was the astrology in his hand and the brass-eyed book in his right hand, which seemed to contain dangerous and mysterious knowledge.
These characteristics made Bai Zhi first doubt whether the other party was a great priest from the Star Source Secret Order.
After hearing Bai Zhi's question, he walked slowly to the edge of the cliff, a few feet away from the former, and looked side by side at the "Heavenly Punisher" in the Chu River.
"Like you, I am playing the role of a silent spectator."
He spoke, but people couldn't remember the characteristics of his voice:
"You can call me my nickname in the 'New World' - 'The Hermit'."
"Hermit?"
That S-class transcendent from the "New World" organization? The captain of the division actually came to him?
Bai Zhi's eyes flickered slightly, trying to check the other party's information panel.

bite!
[Due to confusing information, the above results are for reference only]
This sight was so extraordinary that Bai Zhi opened his eyes to their maximum size and his pupils suddenly contracted.
What the hell?
This situation is even more outrageous than when checking the information about the dead priest.
After calming down, Bai Zhi was half convinced about the identity of the "hermit".
Such a powerful ability to block detection and appearance are very consistent with the meaning of his number.
Moreover, a human being who can come to his vicinity silently and stay there for an unknown length of time is definitely not in the ranks of A-level extraordinary beings.
She guessed that if the other party was really a "hermit", the character who came here was most likely a hidden foreign aid entrusted by the Federal Bureau of Secrets to assist in the operation to encircle and suppress the crocodile demon.
It's not an "audience" like myself.
Although the other party had no chance to attack, he discovered his existence by accident.
——In fact, the word "accidental" can be removed, and the other party may be deliberately looking for you.
"I'm a little curious, how did you find such a position with an excellent perspective?" the hermit said in a voice that could not distinguish between male and female.
I'm the one asking you this, right... Bai Zhi said calmly:
"I just happened to be hiking up the mountain and watching the excitement. Isn't this illegal?"
The hermit turned his head and kept his gaze with unknown meaning:
"I've seen the battle video of your 'Hunter'. Your name is Ye Zhi, a member of the Liberty Empire. You just passed the process of adding 'New World' in the capital."
"A newly recruited A-level member doesn't stay in the capital to familiarize himself with the environment, and doesn't accept well-paid commissions, but comes here to watch the excitement?"
"It doesn't seem to make sense."
Hearing this, Bai Zhi said seriously:
"As far as I know, members of the New World are relatively free when they are not on a mission."
The hermit seemed to smile, and then a light screen appeared in front of him, showing his "New World" S-level captain's membership certificate, and said:
"But as a squad leader, I have the right to ask about the whereabouts of members of the same squad."
After confirming the other party's identity, Bai Zhi did not relax his vigilance, and said with an unchanged expression:
"I have already answered you."
"Okay." The hermit looked easy to talk to, and nodded:
"It's better to come by chance than to come by chance. Since I met you, I just have a task that requires your participation. In other words, you are conscripted."
... A question mark appeared above Bai Zhi's head:
"I'm sorry, I have to refuse, because I just experienced a hard battle yesterday and need to rest..."
Want me to work for you? It's not that easy.
Even if you are a leader, it's not easy to talk.
The hermit shook his head and said: "After the event, 2,000 merit points, I will also participate in this task, you don't have to worry about your safety."
Two thousand merit points? In the "new world", if you exchange merit points for federal cash, you can get more than 20 million...
Bai Zhi admitted that she was tempted. With the 10 million owed by Qin Zhiyan, she might become a billionaire in a short time, and she could also exchange for some suitable extraordinary items to prepare for going to the ruins.
But the next second, the words of the hermit made her heart shrink:
"Besides, yesterday, the one who passed the ability test and the process to compete with the "hunter" was just a clone. With your strength, you should have recovered completely long ago."
