Campfire Feast: 600,000 Experience Points
Stepping on the sand dunes stained with blood.
Tang Zheng paused in his turning motion, a stunned expression appearing on his face, which was covered by Body Armament.
What just happened actually triggered a profession!
He knew that New World existed, and that people could unexpectedly acquire professions due to their personal experiences, living environments, and other factors.
But this was the first time he had encountered it in person.
"Does a 'unique' class system exist in the game 'YGGDRASIL'?" Tang Zheng murmured to himself, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes.
Raise your head.
Looking at Yal and the others not far away, who were still shouting, everyone's faces were filled with the joy and madness of surviving a disaster.
"Gray Armored Knight!"
"Gray Armored Knight!"
"Gray Armored Knight!"
The loud shouts continued, and everyone seemed unwilling to stop, wanting to use their heart-wrenching cries to Dispel the despair that had been weighing on their hearts.
The people living here have probably always lived in fear of death and extermination.
"Is this the only profession that arose because of the people's 'hope' here and my existence? It's truly an unimaginable discovery."
Tang Zheng took a deep breath and glanced at the series of information on the Attribute Panel. He vaguely understood what was going on regarding the appearance and acquisition conditions of this profession.
"What a pity."
With the successful initiation of the [Gray Armored Knight (Unique)] Job Advancement, this class is automatically absorbed by the [Genius], becoming one of the many Basic Class that can be transformed.
This meant that even Tang Zheng himself, with his genius-like qualities, couldn't figure out the abilities this profession possessed.
Click!
Tang Zheng turned around, the gray armor of his Body Armament rubbing together with a crisp sound. He stepped on the head of a dead Grey Dwarf. Tang Zheng raised his arm, holding high the Magic Greatsword stained with blood.
Accompanying this action.
All of humanity, including Yal, stopped shouting and turned their gazes toward them with worship and fervor.
As Tang Zheng had a thought, the blood-stained gray Body Armament transformed into a cloud of gray mist and re-merged into Tang Zheng's body.
The blood that had stained the armor turned into droplets and fell away, revealing Tang Zheng dressed in a black outfit. The blade of his Magic Greatsword reflected a cold, icy light under the sunlight.
"Victory!"
Tang Zheng looked at the people not far away and shouted loudly.
"Victory!"
"Victory!"
"Victory!"
"Victory!"
Liao Liang's shouts rang out again.
As night fell, the sky above the Oasis was dotted with stars.
A roaring bonfire glowed red in the night, casting a fiery red light on the faces of everyone around it.
Men and women with brown headscarves wrapped around their heads jumped around the bonfire, a unique way of celebrating and a distinctive style of dress for the human community that lives here.
However, most people's gazes were focused in awe on a young man with black hair not far away, while their clan leader sat beside him, seemingly talking about something.
now,
On the table in front of Tang Zheng were various strange and wonderful foods that exuded aroma.
"Hero lord, this is salty bread made from Sand Rice rice that we grow ourselves, ground into powder, and mixed with Salt-Node Wood."
Yal's father, Chief Dielong, with dark skin, sat kneeling beside Tang Zheng, respectfully introducing the food on the table:
"This is Shaluo Thorn. It looks a bit dark, but it's actually made by first sun-drying and then roasting it, making it very crisp."
"This is Sour Desert Soup, a plant unique to our Oasis. The black spots on it are powder made from Salt-Node Wood, which is one of the most important plants for replenishing our salt levels."
Chieftain Dielong spoke cautiously, afraid that the food on the table might not suit the taste of the Hero who had saved their entire tribe.
In his eyes, Tang Zheng, who single-handedly defeated the entire Grey Dwarf army, must be an indescribably powerful being who, like his father, had entered the realm of "Hero".
The fact that they were able to prepare nearly ten kinds of food in such a harsh desert environment demonstrates the care and dedication of Chief Dielong and his people.
"No need to call me Hero, my name is Tang."
Tang Zheng spoke again, correcting the other party's form of address. Chief Dielong kept calling him "Hero," making him feel a little embarrassed.
"These foods are all very good."
Tang Zheng wasn't too picky about food; he just randomly picked one and took a few bites.
The taste is quite unique and not unpleasant at all.
Since transmigrating to this world, Tang Zheng has spent most of his time in the wild and has never been picky about food, as long as it's not bad.
"Call out!"
The Barghest, transformed into a hawk, was devouring a piece of roasted scorpion meat, seemingly quite satisfied.
Tang Zheng reached out and patted the Barghest's wing, signaling it to be quieter, as the eagle's feeding method was somewhat different from the Barghest's.
The Barghest clearly hasn't fully adapted yet.
Even so.
Tang Zheng had no intention of making the Barghest revert to its eagle form, since it was just consuming his magic power anyway.
Concealing one's own information has always been Tang Zheng's principle, especially in certain details, where he needs to pay even more attention.
Chief Dielong breathed a slight sigh of relief when he saw that Tang Zheng was somewhat satisfied.
"What's the situation with the Grey Dwarf? How many troops do they have left?" After eating some food, Tang Zheng asked the crucial question.
Although the 5,000-strong Grey Dwarf army was defeated, not all of them were killed; some Grey Dwarf soldiers escaped. Naturally, this situation needs to be guarded against.
Will the Grey Dwarf send more troops?
In addition to unexpectedly acquiring a "unique" Basic Class, this time the Experience Points points also increased dramatically.
[Experience Bar: 782262/120000]
He nearly wiped out a 5,000- Dwarf army in one fell swoop, leaving his arms still numb and sore from wielding the sword.
However, at the same time, his Experience Points increased by more than 600,000 in one go!
"The Grey Dwarf occupy the largest Oasis in this Valley of Death, with a population of around 20,000, more than four times the size of our human population."
Chief Dielong's tone and voice still carried a hint of fear.
With more than four times the population, this is not just a difference in size; the number of strong individuals, the gap in young and able-bodied men, and so on, means the two sides are simply not in the same league.
With the death of the strongest among their human race,
Chieftain Dielong had long been prepared for the annihilation of the Grey Dwarf, and not only him, but everyone in the entire tribe was prepared to die.
Just like its name, "Despair Valley".
Every day, everyone lives in despair, waiting for death to come.
Escape this Oasis?
Without water, there is no way to survive in this vast desert; it's just another way to die.
Even though they have won, nearly a thousand of their people have died, and many more have been injured.
"Your Excellency Tang!"
"If it weren't for your appearance, our tribe would probably have been wiped out. I have failed my father and all my tribesmen."
Chief Dielong suddenly bent over and kowtowed heavily to the ground in front of Tang Zheng, and Hao Tao burst into tears.
Tang Zheng was somewhat uneasy when the seemingly resilient and serious middle-aged clan leader suddenly burst into tears.
Just as he was about to reach out and help Chief Dielong up,
Splash!
The other humans who had been watching this scene and dancing around the campfire all knelt down at this moment, bowing their heads to Tang Zheng.
At the same time, sobs and crying filled the air.
A sudden scene.
Tang Zheng's eye twitched, and he paused in his movement to help Chief Dielong.
A somber atmosphere permeated the air.
The cheerful atmosphere from just now seemed to have vanished in an instant!
Looking at this scene.
Tang Zheng's expression gradually calmed down, and he indifferently swept his gaze over everyone. "It's truly unsightly."
"So, do you usually solve problems by crying?!"
"The people I saved before were a group of humans who would rather die than give up a piece of their own flesh!"
"You weren't able to carve out an Oasis in a place like this, and survive here, because of tears, were you?"
A flat voice echoed in mid-air.
Chief Dielong immediately raised his head, wiped away his tears, and nodded respectfully to Tang Zheng: "My apologies."
Immediately afterwards.
Chief Dielong turned his head to face his kneeling people, took a deep breath, and opened his mouth to unleash a torrent of curses:
Have you cried enough yet?!
"I, the clan leader, am not dead yet! Our clan has not been wiped out!"
"What's there to be sad about! Everyone here has someone who's died, haven't we all died enough already!"
"You should jump! You should jump!"
A furious roar echoed throughout the Oasis, even causing the steadily burning campfire to flicker.
One by one, everyone scrambled to their feet, their faces flushed. The flames of the campfire burned even more fiercely, and everyone's jumping became even more frenzied.
"I apologize for the spectacle, My Lord, you are a great Hero."
Chieftain Dielong turned around, looking somewhat awkwardly at Tang Zheng. He had just uttered the words "Hero," but feeling Tang Zheng's gaze, he quickly changed his address, then whispered:
"The forces that the Grey Dwarf could send have been eliminated, sir. With your help, the Grey Dwarf will not invade our territory for at least ten years."
Looking at Chief Dielong, who quickly adjusted, Tang Zheng gave him a deep look. The chief was indeed quite capable. The Grey Dwarf had a total of about 20,000 people, and they sent out 5,000 soldiers in one go. It could be described as an all-out effort. They were obviously determined to completely annihilate the human race and completely occupy this Oasis.
The remaining 15,000-plus people could be converted into half of the military force without much problem, but after this incident...
