Stone Man's Heart: Discovering Intelligent Life
After encountering several Desert Scorpion.
Tang Zheng and Barghest continue to travel, and there are living creatures, which at least indicates that there is a probability of Wisdom creatures appearing in this place.
As long as we can get some basic information, Tang Zheng's visit to this place will not be in vain.
But it was too desolate.
The air is dry, and the temperature at noon can reach over 40 degrees, with nothing but sand and gravel.
Even if it is Desert Scorpion, in Tang Zheng's subsequent exploration, most Genius will be lucky enough to encounter one or two. It seems that even tenacious monsters will find it extremely difficult to survive in this land.
Plus!
Tang Zheng also discovered a very fatal point, that is, so far, he has not found any water source in this desert-like Gobi.
From the time he arrived in this area until now, there have been almost no clouds in the sky, and the sun has been shining brightly.
The reason why those Desert Scorpion are able to survive is probably with the help of underground water.
Tang Zheng and Item Box have a lot of spare water bags inside, so you don't need to worry about water problems, even if all the water in these water bags is used up.
There is also "Large Wine Jug" obtained from Lizardman.
The seventh day into the Gobi Desert.
Tang Zheng patted the dust on his clothes, his throat was a little dry, he picked up the water bag and drank a few gulps, then handed it to Barghest beside him.
"Ouch~"
Barghest was panting, sticking out his tongue, and quickly opened his mouth to use the water flowing from the water bag.
As a thick-haired monster that lives in the forest, it is obviously not adapted to the desert environment in front of it.
"Thank you for your hard work, keep searching." Tang Zheng poured most of the water into Barghest's mouth, then reached out and patted Barghest's head.
"Roar."
Barghest licked the water stains at the corner of his mouth, nodded, then quickly contracted his body, turned into a goshawk and soared into the sky, flying towards the sky.
Tang Zheng put away the water bag, glanced around, walked towards a half-person-high Black Rock not far away, raised his palm and lightly pressed it on Black Rock:
"Magic Mark."
At present, every time he travels a certain distance, he leaves a Magic Mark on a prominent stone nearby to ensure that he will not get lost in this vast Gobi desert.
He can also use this to determine the direction he is traveling through perception.
Bang!
Tang Zheng just took his palm off Black Rock and saw Black Rock shaking, and then the ground centered on Black Rock shook at the same time.
"This is."
Tang Zheng raised his eyes, jumped back with his legs, and left the position where he was just now, leaving a distance of about six or seven meters from the Black Rock.
Bang! Bang!
Black Rock The surrounding sand piles began to dent, driving the surrounding gravel to form quicksand, which continued to gather toward the center.
And Black Rock shook even more violently, as if some kind of creature was suddenly awakened.
Black Rock, which was about half a meter tall, suddenly began to rise and began to change slightly, turning into a stone head.
Accompanied by "a loud bang!"
An arm composed of Rock stretched out from the desert and slapped it heavily on the sand. An Rock Giant with a body full of Black and more than five meters tall crawled out from under the sand.
Boom!
Rock Giant had stone eyes with a vague face. He looked down at the seemingly small Tang Zheng. He raised his thick Rock arm and smashed it down at Tang Zheng.
"It's actually a living creature."
There was a look of surprise and surprise on Tang Zheng's face. Facing Rock's arm that was hit hard, he glared with his right foot and moved sideways to the left.
Bang!
There was a loud noise, and a big crater was made in the sand.
"Charm Species: All!" Tang Zheng activated magic. This was the first race he saw a creature similar to Wisdom since he came to this area.
This is not the northwest corner of the continent where humans live. Most of the entire continent is ruled by the Demi-Human Species and Heteromorphic Species tribes.
Therefore, it is not surprising to see any kind of strange races in this unknown territory.
The waves of magic spread and flashed past Rock Giant's body!
Huh?
Tang Zheng was stunned and jumped back again. Rock Giant's other arm continued to smash down, making a roar.
"Charm Species: All" has no effect!
Racial characteristics?
Some unique races do have the ability to be immune to mental effects.
"I'm sorry if I disturbed your Sleep."
Tang Zheng avoided the attack of the somewhat manic Rock Giant while trying to communicate with the other party:
"Excuse me, where is this place? I wonder if we can have a good chat?"
Boom!
Boom!
Rock Giant kept waving his thick arms towards Tang Zheng without any intention of speaking.
"Can't you talk? Or maybe it's not the Wisdom race but just some kind of unique monster." Tang Zheng couldn't help but frowned slightly when he saw that the other party not only couldn't speak, but also seemed to have no emotions.
Bang!
Rock Giant Seeing that his continuous attacks could not hit this annoying little thing that was dodging back and forth, he retracted his raised arm and shrank his whole body.
It turned into a large black stone rolling ball and rushed over fiercely.
The Black Stone Rolling Ball rolled around twice before rushing to the front of Tang Zheng, exuding a terrifying aura of indomitable force!
"Since we can't communicate."
Tang Zheng Facing the shadow that had enveloped him, an iron sword appeared in his hand. The moment the black stone rolling ball came to him, the iron sword in his hand had already been slashed out with a wave of his hand.
Hiss--
A spark burst out the moment the sword blade came into contact with Rock Giant. The originally terrifying impact speed dropped sharply, and then it rolled to a stop behind Tang Zheng.
Tang Zheng stood unscathed and took back the iron sword in his hand. "You are only around level 20, so you really don't have a body, but Rock's body is quite hard."
"Experience gained: 3271"
[Experience Bar:11162/120000]
Boom!
"Click" sound!
The giant rolling stone broke into two halves behind Tang Zheng, and crashed onto Rock on both sides, making a roar.
Tang Zheng turned around and looked at Rock Giant who had turned into rubble. There was no blood of normal creatures, but only fragmented bodies constructed like ordinary stones.
"What is this?" Tang Zheng saw something reflecting brown light on the chest of Rock Giant's broken body.
Walk forward and pick it up.
This is a Black stone the size of a fist, and you can clearly feel the fluctuations of magic power.
"Item Appraisal."
Item: Stone Man's Heart
Grade: Middle Tier(21~30)
Effect: If a magic material containing earth energy is placed underground, there is a certain probability that Rock Giant will be reborn.
Introduction: I'm not dead yet!
Tang Zheng glanced at the identification information and put it into Item Box. It was a relatively excellent material, which was an unexpected gain.
"You have to leave "Magic Mark" again."
Once Rock Giant dies, the Magic Mark on the opponent's body is also destroyed in disguise, and he can only find another piece of Rock as a new mark.
Huh--
In the sky, the afterimage of Barghest's transformation quickly returned from a distance, and Tang Zheng also noticed something at this time, and his eyes lit up.
At this moment!
It is about five kilometers away from the location of Tang Zheng.
A wooden cart was driving with some difficulty in the desert, with three figures dragging it in front and two figures pushing the cart behind.
These five figures are not tall, only about 1.5 meters tall, but their bodies are extremely strong, and you can see well-developed and bulging muscles.
The wooden cart was filled with various ores.
After driving for a certain distance, everyone stopped and took a breath.
"Oasis I don't know if the war over there is over."
"Haha, just those losers who don't even have a few decent weapons?"
"Don't be ridiculous, this is not a war at all. Those lowly and stupid races deserve to live on Oasis."
"Yes, our real opponents are those bastards outside Shadow Valley. Rebuild our Kingdom and take back everything that belongs to us!"
"Well, I've heard ancient rumors..."
"Shut up!"
"You idiot, you actually believe such rumors."
"..."
The voices of five figures sounded from time to time.
