After Ara Moon Leap finished her devout prayer, she stood up. Through the window, her orange-yellow eyes could clearly see the rain falling from the sky.

A thin mist gathered!

This desert landscape presents a truly breathtaking sight.

These waters converge in the lake at the center of "Eryuentiu" and flow along the tributaries dug by people to the entire Oasis.

You can say that!

This Oasis, and all life that dwells in the "Dolor Desert," exists because of the generosity of the God-King.

Even though we see them every now and then.

Ara Moon Leap remained captivated, marveling at the legendary power of the God-King, and her heart instinctively uttered a prayer:

"May the will of the God-King return!"

Step out of the room.

The scorching sun shone down, accompanied by a wave of heat, and a vast expanse of lush green vegetation came into view, along with a bustling atmosphere.

Ara Moon Leap is a Harpie, dressed provocatively in only a bodice and a blouse, with her legs suddenly widening to her feet, resembling bird claws.

Its two arms are similar to those of a normal human, except that there are folded hemiwing structures on the outer side of the arms.

"Guys!"

Ara Moon Leap's gaze swept across the bustling street, her hands on her hips, showcasing her tanned skin and curvaceous figure, as she laughed heartily and spoke:

Good morning~ Anyone want to have a drink with me?

A lot of eyes were on them!

However, upon seeing Ara Moon Leap, he quickly withdrew all his thoughts.

"A bunch of cowardly worms."

Ara Moon Leap Taunt loudly, tossed her long blue hair aside, and swayed her hips as she walked towards the tavern.

"I'll go drink it myself."

Harpie are a relatively unique race, as they have no males, only females. Therefore, they sometimes abduct males from other human races to be their mates.

Therefore, Harpie do not have the concept of "devotion".

Certainly!

Ara Moon Leap also dislikes that kind of chaotic relationship and fantasizes about finding an ideal partner, but until she finds one.

Finding a few ordinary men first isn't out of the question.

"Among the eight God-King, the supreme and great Harpie God-King is male."

Ara Moon Leap recalled the legends she had heard since childhood, and thought with considerable resentment.

According to what is said among the Harpie.

Only male Harpie have the opportunity to inherit the bloodline of the Harpie God-King God-King enter their Divine Abode.

That is the greatest wish of everyone living in "Eryuentiu"!

Ha~

This is absolutely not an excuse the Harpie made for being "promiscuous".

With a "bang".

The tavern's wooden door was pushed open.

Ara Moon Leap, her slender, wheat-colored waist swaying, entered the bustling tavern. The peculiar aroma of wine, baked goods, moisture, and sand wafted towards her.

The Sun Anglerfish had just risen.

The blessing of life from "Grace Falls" is not over yet, and the tavern is almost full of people.

Drinking early in the morning and pubs being packed are things that would be impossible in other countries or regions, but they are commonplace here.

"Eryuentiu" is a place where many races live together, and most races worship anything related to water.

"Wine" is naturally one of them!

After exchanging a few greetings...

Ara Moon Leap habitually ordered a glass of fruit wine, propped her chin up with one hand, leaned forward, and began to scrutinize the people in the tavern with her orange-yellow eyes.

"Any good 'prey' today?"

Ara Moon Leap lightly licked her lips, but she held little hope.

However, unexpectedly!

A tall and strong figure came into view. The person was at least 2 meters tall, had a pair of goat horns on his head, and wore a black cloak.

On either side of the waist hung a black lacquered animal skin waist drum.

Never seen it before?

Ara Moon Leap's eyes lit up instantly. "Bafolk? Doesn't seem like it, is he/she a hybrid?"

The authentic Bafolk has round, hoof-shaped feet, but his lower body is no different from that of a normal human.

Being of mixed race is perfectly normal!

Everyone living in "Eryuentiu" has inherited the bloodline of the Supreme God-Kings to varying degrees, after hundreds of years of development.

I wonder how many of them are of mixed race.

"... I have absolutely no recollection of them. Are they not from ' Eryuentiu '? Are they from another city or village on the Oasis?"

Ara Moon Leap thought about it carefully again and confirmed that she had never seen the other person before.

This Oasis is roughly the size of a small country, except for the city of "Eryuentiu" located in its central area.

There are also three cities scattered around, as well as numerous villages.

This Oasis in the heart of the desert is almost devoid of outsiders, and they don't welcome them!

Ara Moon straightened her back and glared fiercely into the tavern. Among the other Harpie, she was clearly not the only one eyeing this half -Bafolk.

Relying on my intuition as a woman and Harpie!

Ara's inner turmoil told her that this was a perfect match for her.

Now!

Inside the tavern, it wasn't just a few Harpie who noticed the peculiar Bafolk; most people's eyes were subtly fixed on him.

The sudden appearance of an outsider makes it impossible to avoid attracting attention!

The Bafolk seemed oblivious to the many gazes upon him; there was no food on the table, only a glass of expensive wine.

But they only took a few simple bites.

but.

From the other person's casual sitting posture, one could vaguely discern that this Bafolk seemed to be in a good mood.

"Bang!"

A dull, powerful knocking sound.

All I saw was...

The Bafolk lightly tapped the black lacquered animal skin drum at his waist with his left hand, and stood up. His tall, burly body was so strong that his broad shoulders and thick chest almost burst open his cloak.

His sleeves were casually rolled up, revealing his forearms, which were covered with short, light gray hair and had bulging tendons. He stood with a posture as steady as a mountain.

A faint smile played in his brown, horizontal pupils.

Bang!

The black lacquered waist drum on the other side also sounded.

The Bafolk raised his head, and gray-black horns spiraled out from his thick mane, with a green ring, about the size of a ring, at the tip of one of the horns.

At a glance!

This Bafolk exudes a powerful yet elegant aura.

"When Dragon Breath tears the sky."

Bang!

"The light of dawn was obscured by the tattered dragon wings."

Bang!

"The eight supreme crowns descend."

Thud! Thud!

"Resurrect all the withered starlight~"

"Behold! The mighty power of the God-King weaves a rainbow bridge of truth!"

"His music is infused with immortal chords--"

"..."

An elegant and ancient melody, hummed softly from the Bafolk's mouth, echoed in the tavern; it was just a simple humming and the monotonous beating of the waist drum.

Everyone present was unknowingly drawn into the music, dancing, jumping, and laughing heartily along.

The entire tavern instantly became lively.

May the will of the God-King endure forever!

May the will of the God-King endure forever!

May the will of the God-King endure forever!

"...!"

The people of the Oasis never conceal their emotions, and to the accompaniment of such moving and beautiful music, they prayed aloud in unison.

Ara Moon Leap, without realizing it, was also standing on the table, dancing wildly, the jumbled thoughts in her mind disappearing.

Bang!

Thump~ Thump~

The Bafolk continued to gently tap his waist drum, sitting on the table watching the crowd jump around, a faint smile on his face.

In this joyful atmosphere!

Suddenly.

A message appeared in the Bafolk's mind.

"Guardian."

A respectful voice rang out.

The Bafolk's brown, horizontal pupils narrowed slightly, his hands continuing their movements, as he inwardly replied, "What is it?"

"Telescopic Spell triggered."

"--An individual exceeding the alert level is approaching the Oasis; take precautions to prevent counter-detection."

"The current strength rating for the unknown individual is estimated to be in the range of 70-75 Lv!"

"In accordance with the Guardian Protocol, you and Guardian Zhen have been notified first."

70~75Lv range?

The Bafolk's eyes held a new seriousness and coldness; this level of alert had far exceeded the required level.

No wonder I bothered him!

"An unknown entity of this level couldn't just appear out of nowhere." The Bafolk thought to himself, "Leave this to me."

"I just woke up, and I hate being disturbed."

Even if you wanted to be lazy, it wouldn't be possible.

This level of unknown existence cannot be stopped by the Oasis's protective power alone, and it needs to be investigated immediately!

"--Yes, Guardian!"

A respectful voice followed the "message" magic, then the connection was severed.

The Bafolk paused, the drumming stopped abruptly, a cold light flashed in his brown eyes, and he vanished in a flash.

The influence of musical scales has been lost!

The once lively atmosphere in the tavern visibly cooled down. Everyone first looked around blankly, and then their faces turned frightened and ugly.

Ara Moon Leap's expression turned deathly pale.

"What exactly happened?"

Ara Moon Leap muttered to herself in a daze, but she actually had some vague guesses.

Could it be...?

A certain Guardian in the Divine Abode in the sky?

Recalling the ancient melody from earlier.

As Ara Moon Leap gradually regained consciousness, she realized something.

According to ancient legends, there are 30 Guardian residing in the Divine Abode in the sky. It is said that Guardian appear in the Oasis from time to time, but no one has ever been able to confirm it!

"The latter half of that melody tells the story of God-King was skilled in music."

Ara Moonlight's face gradually flushed with excitement. "Of the eight Supreme God-Kings, only one is related to music— God-King Satyr!"

"Is that Bafolk- man the Guardian of the God-King Satyr?"

Desert!

A vast, boundless desert.

Let alone ordinary people, even the strongest in the Hero Realm would be helpless without the ability to obtain resources and knowledge of location.

It will only become an insignificant corpse in the desert.

The Elf King stood atop a towering sand dune, gazing into the distance. Aside from the sweltering heat and scorching Sun Anglerfish that made him somewhat irritable,

The harsh desert environment had no effect on the Elf King.

The excellent vision provided by the Druid class allows him to see extremely far, especially in the desert where there are no obstructions, where the field of vision is even greater!

The distance was distorted by the heatwave.

A faint, illusory Oasis could be seen, like a mirage.

"That's it!"

The Elf King held a Magic Staff made of green vines in his hand, and with a gentle flick of his wrist, he uttered, "Nature's Fruit."

Buzz~

A green light emanated from the surface of the Magic Staff.

The next moment.

A green sprout quickly emerged from the desert beneath the Elf King's feet, and then rapidly grew, blossomed, and bore fruit in just two or three breaths.

A shrub with seven fruits appeared before us.

The fruit is about the size of two fists, with a pinkish skin and a sweet and sour smell.

"The taste is still a little different from the real fruit."

The Elf King picked the largest fruit and ate it to replenish his strength.

"Nature's Fruit" is a Druid spell that can summon a common fruit that the caster has eaten.

The Elf King did not learn this magic, but the Magic Staff in his hand was equipped with it and could be activated 6 times within 4 hours.

Because the adults lent him this magical item, he didn't need to worry about food and water in the desert.

That's right.

This magical item originally belonged to him, but now it naturally belongs to the master.

Eat all the fruit.

The Elf King raised his Magic Staff, and his figure quickly left the spot, heading towards the Oasis ahead.

As the distance gets closer and closer!

The Oasis gradually became clear, its lush Oasis forming a stark contrast to the surrounding desert covered in yellow sand.

"Stop!!"

Suddenly, a voice imbued with magic came from ahead.

Puff! Puff! Puff!

The desert not far away suddenly collapsed.

A force of Demi-Human, riding over three meters long and known as Desert Scorpion monsters, blocked the Elf King's path.

"Get out of here!"

One of the Demi-Human leading the group issued a warning to the Elf King.

"Hiss--Hiss--Hiss--"

A large number of Desert Scorpion raised their tails, their stingers gleaming with a cold light, and aimed them all at the Elf King.

Seeing this scene...

The Elf King raised his haughty chin and swept his gaze across the group with a lazy, disdainful look. "Do you know who you're talking to?"

Unlike in front of Tang Zheng.

Facing this group of Demi-Human, the Elf King remained the Elf King he always was.

Looks like they were prepared all along!

Was it detected beforehand...? Are there any detection methods?

The thought flashed through the Elf King's mind; he hadn't forgotten that his primary task was to gather any intelligence.

"I am the God-King!"

The Elf King revealed his identity, then casually waved his hand:

"As dust, it's just too much of an eyesore!"

Seventh-Tier Magic: Shining Burst!

Boom!

The blinding light and heat, like a falling Sun Anglerfish, exploded instantly, and the Desert Scorpion legion of dozens of people in front was directly swallowed up by the magic.

The light faded!

There was only a pile of charred, mutilated corpses on the ground.
