Translator: Noodletown Translated Editor: Noodletown Translated
Glancing at Qingfeng Li, the Desert Giant turned and prepared to run.
It knew that it had to escape from this man if it wanted to survive.
Although the Desert Giant’s body was made from sand, it suspected that this man’s golden fla could still do it harm. The flas were incredibly powerful, and the Desert Giant felt a sense of danger coming from them. He had no doubt that the golden fla could lt all the sand in his body.
“You want to run?” A cold glint appeared in Qingfeng Li’s eyes. “But can you get away?”
rging into the void using spatial talisman scriptures, Qingfeng Li appeared before the Desert Giant in an instant.
He then activated his vital essence and struck out with his fist, blowing a large hole in the Desert Giant’s body. The Giant was sent flying, landing heavily on the ground.
But, a mont later, sand from the Crimson Fire Desert began to converge toward the Desert Giant, filling the hole in its chest; it had recovered to its original state.
Qingfeng Li furrowed his brows. “Huh, you didn’t die?” He said. “Your body is actually made completely from sand? How strange.”
Beside him, Sky-Devouring Snake spoke. “Qingfeng Li, this thing is practically immortal. I tried so many tis, hell, I even blew up its heart. But the sand always cos right back.”
Qingfeng Li nodded. “Since you won’t die,” he said, “then I’ll just use my flas and lt all your sand.”
When he finished speaking, Qingfeng Li called upon his golden flas, which appeared over his fingers again. A hint of killing intent flashed over Qingfeng Li’s eyes as he prepared to cast the flas onto the Desert Giant’s body and kill it.
The expression on the Desert Giant’s face changed to one of terror. It had just witnessed the king of the carnivorous ants being burnt to death by the golden fla. There hadn’t even been a body left behind.
The golden flas were far too powerful. The temperatures it contained were at the Saint level. The Desert Giant was just a master of the Supre Realm; there was no way it could withstand it.
With a shocking thump, the Desert Giant fell to its knees. It put its forehead to the sand and bowed toward Qingfeng Li. “Don’t kill ,” it begged, “don’t kill . I don’t want to die.”
Qingfeng Li was left speechless. He had expected the Desert Giant to be a tough guy, but it turned out that it was surprisingly afraid to die. But then again, maybe it wasn’t so strange.
Whether it was humans or demonic beasts, or any other race for that matter, all living things had an intrinsic fear toward death. No one wanted to die; everyone wanted to live.
Qingfeng Li’s rolled its eyes. “You want to spare you, I can do that. But you must agree to beco my servant.”
The Desert Giant’s expression shifted. “No,” it said, “I can’t beco your servant. I’m a subject of the Desert Queen. If she found out that I’ve beco your servant, she’d kill for sure!”
A cold glint flashed through Qingfeng Li’s eyes. “Since you won’t beco my servant, then you can die.”
He continued after a pause. “If you beco my servant, you’d still have a chance at life. As for this Desert Queen, rest assured that she is no match for . You should know how powerful my golden flas are.”
The Desert Giant’s eyes shifted restlessly. It seed to be struggling to reach a decision. Finally, it decided to pledge itself to the man before him. If it didn’t, it would die right now. If it pledged itself to this man, there was still a chance he would live.
With a heavy thump, the Desert Giant fell knelt before Qingfeng Li again. “I agree to pledge myself to you,” it said, “I will beco your servant.”
Desert Giant raised a finger. From deep within its mind-space, it produced a golden sand seal. This seal appeared identical to an ordinary grain of sand, only it was made from soul energy. The seal flew directly into Qingfeng Li’s hand.
Qingfeng Li stored the seal deep in his own mind-space. It appeared there, a floating grain of sand. The grain of sand took the shape of the Desert Giant’s current appearance.
With just a thought, Qingfeng Li could force the grain of sand to shatter, to explode. If that happened, the Desert Giant, too, would die.
Seeing that the Desert Giant had pledged itself to him, Qingfeng Li was visibly pleased. The reason he had let the Desert Giant live was that he needed to ask it for information about the Crimson Fire Desert.
Although Qingfeng Li had obtained a complete map of the Crimson Fire Desert, it was a map from five centuries ago. During those five hundred years, so of the geography, landmarks, and the distribution of demonic beasts within the Crimson Fire Desert should certainly have changed.
For example, the king of the carnivorous ants had not been marked on the map. But Qingfeng Li had encountered it soon after entering the desert.
Qingfeng Li stared at the Desert Giant. “Right now, “he asked, “what are the biggest forces in the Crimson Fire Desert? Tell about them.”
The Desert Giant nodded. “Right now, there are three large forces in the desert,” it said, “The first is a powerful human self-cultivator called the Fiery Supre.
The second is the Desert Queen. Her whole body is made of the golden sand from the Crimson Fire Desert. She is extrely powerful, capable of consuming human self-cultivators and demonic beasts and turning them all into her own power.
The third major force in the desert are the Mirage Beasts. They can create illusions and mirages in order to confuse self-cultivators. They would trap their prey and eventually kill them.”
Hearing the Desert Giant’s words, Qingfeng Li nodded. He now had a clearer understanding of the distribution of power in the Crimson Fire Desert.
Combined with the five-hundred-year-old map of the Crimson Fire Desert in his possession, he had a clear idea of the area’s terrain and major players, along with the locations of so of the spirit herbs.
Turning, Qingfeng Li walked to Sky-Devouring Snake’s side. “How are you feeling?” he asked.
Sky-Devouring Snake shook its head. “I feel like crap,” it said, “I’m heavily wounded; my demon essence is exhausted. And even if you told to walk in this damn desert right now, I wouldn’t be able to.”
Qingfeng Li nodded. With the power of a thought, he retrieved so healing elixirs from his interspatial ring. He placed these in Sky-Devouring Snake’s mouth. “Eat these,” he said. “Absorb their power and recover your demon essence.”
The Sky-Devouring Snake’s eyes lit up, pleasantly surprised. “Where did you get all these Supre level healing elixirs?” it asked. “These are very valuable, I’ve never seen these on the Crimson Fire Continent before.”
Beside them, Black Puppy wagged its tail haughtily. “You’ve got it the worst of any of us,” it said, “First you got chased around, then you nearly die. We’ve been having a great ti on this continent. See this guy beside us? Yeah, that’s the Second Prince of the Country of Lingyun. And he’s our friend.”
Sky-Devouring Snake glanced at Black Puppy, eyes filled with envy. It had nearly died, and these two were living the chill life.
Without a mont’s hesitation, Sky-Devouring Snake hurriedly swallowed the supre level elixirs that Qingfeng Li had given it. The elixirs turned into a massive amount of energy, repairing its broken body and internal injuries.
This supre level healing elixir was extrely effective. It was made entirely from treasures of the heaven and earth. In just a few minutes, the Sky-Devouring Snake’s body had been fully restored.
