C521 Dead desert

The scorching sun hung high in the sky, without a single cloud in sight.

In front of him was a vast, deathly silent desert. There was almost no other color to be found here, and it was always a boring yellow color.

A gale swept past, and on the yellow hills, yellow sand flew all over the sky.

The wrinkles that appeared from the countless amounts of sand were like frozen waves, extending all the way to the place where the sky met the sand in the distance, as if there was no end to it.

"Isn't that the Dead Desert which claims that no one is around eight million miles away?"

Zhan Tianming raised his eyes and looked forward.

He put away the jade slip he bought earlier. A curve appeared on the corner of his mouth as he lifted his feet slightly, walking towards the Dead Desert with determination.

This was the first trial he had chosen, and also the most difficult of the three paths that led to the Nanshan Empire.

Zhan Tianming didn't want to directly teleport to the Nanshan Empire because he knew very well that his own strength didn't seem to be weak already. But facing a true expert, there was only death waiting for him, so, he had to do his best to raise his strength even more before the great competition that was going to take place in the Nanshan Empire. Otherwise, he could have completely passed through the Transfer Array s set up in the Wan Feng Trading Company and directly teleported to the Nanshan Empire.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

After stepping into the Dead Desert, his ears were filled with the sound of the howling wind.

The scorching sun at the front seemed to scorch anyone who dared to enter this place.

When the wind touched his skin, not only did he not feel any coolness, it was even hotter. He could even feel the wind as if it was being sliced by knives.

This desert was not something that the ordinary deserts he had seen in his previous life could compare to.

The living environment here was extremely harsh.

Swish!

An armored Demonic Beast that was hiding beneath the sand came out and pounced towards Zhan Tianming.

Zhan Tianming didn't even look at it as he punched out with his left fist.

Bang!

The armoured Demonic Beast was smashed into pieces, causing a pool of green liquid to fly out. It was shaken by the Genuine Essence on Zhan Tianming's body and all of them fell to other places, not touching his body at all.

"Ding dong!"

"Congratulations to host Zhan Tianming for killing the Sand Dog, you have obtained three hundred Experience Value, one Third Grade Fire Attribute, and ten berserk points."

"Ding dong!"

"The Fire Attribute has been discovered. Would you like to absorb it?"

"Absorb."

"Ding dong!" Absorbing is a success, the power of the Fire Attribute increases. "

This kind of Demonic Beast could no longer pose any threat to Zhan Tianming.

However …

F * ck, Sand Dog Beast?

Sure enough, Demonic Beast s were Demonic Beast s, there were all sorts of strange things about them. This Sand Dog was a small dog with a full body of hard armor, which was even fiercer and smaller in size than the tiger-like house dogs that were raised by normal people.

However, Zhan Tianming was already used to it.

In this world, even mosquitoes could be palm-sized, and rabbits and mice could kill people. What was impossible?

It was this sun …

"F * ck, can you be a little hotter?"

Zhan Tianming couldn't even feel the sweat on his head because the sweat would immediately evaporate off his skin the moment it seeped out.

When the sunlight shone on his body, it was even more scorching.

Looking around, the air was filled with steaming heat.

Everything before them seemed to distort.

It was too hot!

It was ten times hotter than sitting in front of a blazing stove on a hot day!

This feeling was simply too pleasurable.

Along the way, Zhan Tianming also saw quite a few eerie white bones, either human or Demonic Beast, and also some very strange white bones, which were probably from other races. In short, this Dead Desert was like hell on earth, causing people to feel fear.

Especially when he was walking on it alone, this feeling was even more intense.

But Zhan Tianming did not have that kind of feeling. After all, he possessed the Nine Orifices Ice Heart.

Something like fear or Heart Demon would hardly affect him.

Moreover, this kind of experience was what he needed.

Step by step …

Unwavering!

Although he complained, Zhan Tianming was extremely determined.

He didn't even intentionally circulate the Icy Heart Nirvana Art.

Otherwise, with the power of the Icy Heart Nirvana Art, what was this little bit of heat worth?

Suddenly!

Zhan Tianming jumped up quickly.

Hualala …

Under his feet, a scorpion that was about ten feet long suddenly rushed out and pierced out with its huge stinger.

Zhan Tianming clenched his right hand in the air.

Crack, crack, crack …

Crack, crack, crack …

Red lightning flashed and leaped, the Divine Punisher Sword fiercely chopping down.

Riiiip!

The lightning sword Qi slashed out, ruthlessly slashing the poisonous desert scorpion's tail needle, directly slicing the tail needle into two.

Seeing that Zhan Tianming was not easy to deal with, the desert scorpion wanted to escape. Unfortunately, Zhan Tianming did not give it that kind of opportunity.

"You've already come, yet you still want to leave?"

Zhan Tianming's pupils contracted.

He struck again!

Clang!

The sword chopped directly into the body of the desert scorpion.

"Ding dong!"

"Congratulations to host Zhan Tianming for killing the desert scorpion, you have obtained 1,400 Experience Value s, 1 fourth rank Demon Core, and 25 berserk points."

"The Experience Value are becoming fewer and fewer. If this goes on, the levelling will become slower and slower."

After absorbing the fourth stage Demon Core, Zhan Tianming continued on his way.

"Master, about twenty miles ahead from the left, there's a caravan." The Little Purple transmitted.

"A caravan?"

Zhan Tianming was in a daze.

What kind of caravan would choose to pass through this Dead Desert?

Currently, all the large trading companies would normally teleport directly through the Transfer Array. Even those trading companies without the Transfer Array would choose to teleport from a long distance using the Transfer Array of other forces.

Zhan Tianming felt that something was amiss, he immediately changed his direction and rushed over to take a look.

Indeed, a few hours later, as he was hiking, he really saw a merchant group.

Dozens of camels and hundreds of people were walking slowly in a long snake-shaped formation.

Noticing Zhan Tianming's appearance, a dozen or so Martial Cultivator s also vigilantly looked over.

"Don't worry, everyone." One of the youths raised his hand.

Following that, the man walked towards Zhan Tianming.

He was about 1.75 meters tall, and his face was resolute, his edges were sharp, and his eyes seemed to be filled with light, just like the eyes of a falcon. Just looking at him, it was as if he could see through everything.

After approaching Zhan Tianming, the young man cupped his fists and said: "I am Li Hunfei, Captain of Dead Souls Mercenary Group, how may I address you?"

Zhan Tianming was slightly startled. "Mercenary Group?"
