Chapter 108 Desert
Chapter 108 Desert
Under the blazing sun, the yellow sand resembled a vast, boundless golden ocean. A gentle breeze stirred up a cloud of sand. It was midday, and some small animals living in this desert were crawling on the sand, creating a peaceful scene.
A dark brown scorpion crawled toward a strange object—a human hand, a human hand buried in the yellow sand.
Suddenly, the hand trembled, startling the scorpion, which instinctively stabbed at it with its stinger.
However, something terrifying happened to the little scorpion: its invincible stinger, which had been unbreakable in this desert, couldn't even pierce the creature's skin.
Just as the scorpion was about to run away in fear, the hand suddenly moved.
boom!
With a forceful grab, the black scorpion was caught in the hand, and then with a crisp sound, it was instantly crushed to death.
Ok?
A muffled, surprised sound came from beneath the yellow sand. The next second, a body burst out of the sand. Upon closer inspection, it was none other than Lin Tian, who had fought a great battle in the West City not long ago.
Lin Tian, who had just escaped from the sand, was still a little dazed. He shook his body, and a lot of sand was shaken off.
A few seconds later, Lin Tian came to his senses. The blinding sunlight shone on his face, causing him to squint. However, the next second, his pupils dilated in shock:
"Hey, you little brat... where the hell did you get yourself here?"
"Is this still domestic?"
It's no wonder Lin Tian complained. At least he used to live in the forest with birds and beasts for company, but now Leo's spell is doing him a disservice.
How could he not be stunned!
As far as the eye can see, the desert is completely barren, nothing but sand.
Wait, there's also that little thing I just crushed...
Lin Tian cursed Leo for a full three minutes, but still couldn't quell his anger. He could only silently remember Leo in his heart.
"You little brat, don't let me catch you again!"
Complaining won't help, so after staying in one place for a while, Lin Tian started to walk around.
If he remembered correctly, all three of his men had been caught in the vortex, just like him, and Lin Tian wanted to see if he could find them.
Sure enough, after taking only a couple of steps, Lin Tian spotted a white hand exposed outside the sand.
This hand looks a bit like...
"Thank you, Your Majesty, cough cough~"
Lin Tian looked at the white-robed scholar who was coughing incessantly, his eyes filled with sympathy.
Luckily, I didn't eat much...
After rescuing the scholar in white, the two continued searching for their two companions, but after wandering around the desert for a long time, they still couldn't find any trace of them.
Lin Tian checked the system panel and saw that the two of them were still alive. Seeing this, he was not too worried. Instead, he began to observe where he was.
Wow~
A scroll was unrolled, revealing a map of the mainland that he had bought in the West City. Although it was expensive, he also included a book of map annotations with it.
It details the location, characteristics, and common customs of each country.
Through reading, Lin Tian guessed that he was in a place called the Golden Dark Desert.
The Jinming Desert is the largest desert on this continent. It has a poor ecological environment and lacks water resources, and is also known as the Desert of Death.
Even so, several countries have taken root in this land and formed their own unique cultures.
[Ding! The quest item panel has been updated!]
A system notification pulled Lin Tian from his reading, and the system panel displayed two tasks.
[Upon arriving here, establish your own base. Mission reward: Unlock the [Yellow Wind Ridge] ecosystem.]
[Searching for the Root of Nature, Part Two, Quest Reward: [Hearing the Wrath]]
The mission was the key to Lin Tian's growth, so he naturally had to complete both missions. However, the second mission seemed unlikely to be completed in a short time, so Lin Tian turned his attention to the first mission.
After unlocking all the monsters in Black Wind Mountain, although it still shows that you can upgrade, the system tells you that further upgrades can only increase the troop limit and strengthen the monster's power.
So Lin Tian didn't take it any further for the time being. But then a problem arose: the system didn't unlock the next ecosystem for him either, which puzzled and annoyed Lin Tian.
It wasn't until he arrived in this desert that Lin Tian received this mission.
As the second chapter of the game, Huangfeng Ridge has many powerful figures, such as Tiger Vanguard, whose punches and moves are like those of a martial arts master; Shi Gandang, who is huge and brave; and Huangfeng Dasheng, who can drive the Samadhi Divine Wind to darken the world!
These are all extremely powerful beings, but of course, the most famous is:
【Huangfengling, stretching for eight hundred li, is full of rats setting up sniper rifles!】
This statement alone proves the value of the Rat Crossbowman. Once that sniper rifle is set up at the entrance of the village, the village entrance becomes like the gates of hell!
Of course, to unlock these, you must first unlock the Huangfengling ecosystem, and the system's task is to first establish a base.
What defines a stronghold?
Can I put up a sign?
Lin Tian acted immediately, taking a wooden plank from his system inventory and sticking it into the sand where he was standing.
Then Lin Tian took out a pen from his bag and wrote crookedly on the wooden board:
Shamen Village
One second passed... two seconds passed... three seconds passed...
"Fuck your mother!"
boom!
Lin Tian kicked him away, then sat down on the ground with a thud.
Thinking that the mission certainly wouldn't be that simple, Lin Tian, feeling defeated, looked up at the boundless desert and suddenly felt powerless.
Where the hell am I supposed to build a base?!
..................
Lin Tian didn't know how long he had been walking, only that it was already dusk, but he still hadn't seen a single hair.
"666"
"Spray directly in the desert, even if it's not sunny!"
Lin Tian felt like he was walking until he was delirious. The sun here was very strange. Logically speaking, his body should not be afraid of the heat now, but being in this desert, he could feel a stuffy heat!
as well as......
Thirsty!
Gollum~
Lin Tian drank the water in the kettle in one gulp. This desert was really strange; it seemed like his extraordinary physique was not working.
We need to find a place to rest quickly!
Although his physical condition was still strong enough to support him to continue, he was extremely exhausted, both physically and mentally, due to the effects of this strange desert.
"Your Majesty, look!"
The white-robed scholar who had been accompanying him suddenly stopped. Lin Tian, upon hearing his words, instinctively looked in the direction he was pointing.
"That is......"
