After riding on Tyrant's shoulder for two hours, Lin Huang finally understood what it meant to be the mount that he had summoned. He had to ride it to the finish line even if he had to cry …
Tyrant ran for almost two hours and only stopped after carrying Lin Huang for more than 100 kilometers.
Lin Huang found a sand dune nearby and set up a tent behind it. Tyrant sat near the entrance of the tent, staring at Lin Huang who was setting up the tent curiously.
After spending more than 20 minutes setting up the tent, Lin Huang sat in the tent and started thinking about keeping watch at night. The environment of the Pure Gold Desert was much worse than the deserts on Earth. Monsters could attack at any time so someone had to keep watch at night. However, he still had to rely on Tyrant for the next few days so he could not keep watch at night. Although Bai could keep watch at night, he was a powerful fighter and Lin Huang did not want to exhaust his energy in the desert.
After a while, he remembered that he still had a pile of Sand Monster pieces to make a Monster Card.
After leaving the tent, Lin Huang recalled Tyrant and said to Xiao Hei, "Xiao Hei, I want to use the pieces to make a Monster Card."
"You have 33 Sand Monster pieces, 30 pieces will be consumed to make an iron-level Sand Monster Card. Are you sure you want to make one?"
"Yes!"
"Consumed 30 Sand Monster pieces to make one Monster Card!"
Lin Huang immediately summoned the new card to his hand. It was a white crystal card. On the front of the card, the Sand Monster looked 80% similar to Tyrant. It was like a smaller version of Tyrant. The information on the back was obviously different too.
"Monster Card"
"Rarity: Normal"
"Type of Monster: Giant (Branch)"
"Combat Level: Iron-level 1-Star"
"Skill 1: Immense Strength (Beginner)"
"Skill 2: Robust (Beginner)"
"Summon Authority: Activated"
"Card Remarks: Trash"
Suddenly, a notification sound came from Xiao Hei.
Just when Lin Huang was surprised, a notification popped up in front of him.
"Monster Card of the same type found, would you like to proceed with Card Engulfment?"
"Xiao Hei, what is Card Devour?" Lin Huang quickly asked.
"If a similar card appears in the Monster Card, the card with a higher rarity can engulf the card with a lower rarity to obtain a random skill upgrade."
"In other words, Tyrant's card can consume this Monster Card to upgrade its skills?" Lin Huang immediately understood why the notification had popped up.
"Yes, this is the first time you've obtained a Monster Card of the same type. Would the host like to proceed with card devouring?]
"I won't devour it for now. I still need him to keep watch for the next few days." Lin Huang refused to devour the cards.
After summoning the new Sand Monster, Lin Huang did not bother to name it as Tyrant would devour it after a few days. There was no need to waste time.
The new Sand Monster was much smaller than Tyrant. It was only five meters tall.
"Stay outside the tent tonight. If you see any monsters or humans attacking, shout loudly to wake me up." Lin Huang instructed.
The Sand Monster nodded and sat outside the tent obediently. Lin Huang went into the tent to rest.
He was exhausted after a busy day and soon, he fell into a deep sleep.
When he woke up, the sky was already bright. It was a peaceful night.
After he got up and kept the tent, Lin Huang washed up and recalled the Sand Monster that had been guarding the tent for the whole night. He then summoned Tyrant.
As he sat on Tyrant's shoulder, Lin Huang frowned. It was already uncomfortable to sit on Tyrant's shoulder for two hours yesterday. If he were to sit on Tyrant's shoulder for more than ten hours, his butt would suffer even more.
He asked Tyrant to put him down and lay on the ground. While the sand was still warm, Lin Huang started shaving the hair on Tyrant's shoulder with his sword.
Tyrant was still lying on the ground, not knowing what Lin Huang was trying to do. When it saw Lin Huang shaving its body hair, it looked like it was wronged. Lin Huang thought it looked cute but ugly.
The hair on the Sand Monster's body was a symbol of strength. Of course, it was unwilling to let Lin Huang shave it. However, it could not disobey Lin Huang so it could only put on a pitiful expression.
After shaving the left shoulder, just when Lin Huang was about to sit on it, he glanced at the right shoulder. "It needs to be symmetrical."
So, he shaved the body hair on the right shoulder.
After half an hour, he finally rode on Tyrant's shoulder and set off again.
"It's much better now!" Without the feeling of the hair poking his butt, Lin Huang felt much better.
Tyrant carried Lin Huang and started running. Not long after, Lin Huang saw the tracks left by the others.
Just when he was about to ask Tyrant to leave the area to avoid conflict with the others, Tyrant's huge body was exposed. It was discovered by a team of five people and they surrounded it.
Seeing that they were approaching, Tyrant became irritated. It could smell the blood on them.
"Tyrant, put me down." After Lin Huang instructed, Tyrant put him down on the ground in front of him.
As the five of them walked closer, they realized that Lin Huang had been sitting on Tyrant's shoulder.
"What's up?" Lin Huang looked at the five of them, his guard up.
"So, you're an Imperial Censor. No wonder you dare to join the Reserve Hunter assessment when you're not even iron-level." A skinny young man who looked like he was in his twenties looked at Lin Huang with an evil smile.
"If you have something to say, don't stop me. I'm on my way." Lin Huang did not want to talk to him.
"I remember you're Lin Huang, right?" A young man who looked about the same age as Lin Huang smiled and asked. He was dressed luxuriously. As he spoke, the rest of them kept quiet. Although he looked young, he was obviously the leader of the group. "My name is George Kang. Don't be nervous, we mean no harm."
"The assessment is very difficult. The probability of passing the assessment is very low. That's why we formed a team to increase the passing rate. You're an Imperial Censor. Although your summoning monsters are not weak, your combat ability is not strong. Especially when it comes to climbing the iceberg, with your stamina and endurance, I'm afraid it's difficult for you to pass the assessment. Although the Sand Monster is strong, it's not good at climbing the iceberg. If you're willing to form a team with us, we can help you when you're climbing the iceberg. "George Kang smiled and suggested.
"Thank you for your offer. I'm used to being alone. Now, can you guys move aside? " Of course, Lin Huang could tell that George Kang looked friendly but he was actually a cunning man. It was obvious that these people were up to no good by targeting him.
"Brother Lin, please think about it." George Kang was still smiling but he did not plan to move aside.
"There's no need to think about it. Move aside!" Lin Huang sounded determined.
"Brat, don't be so shameless! Do you really think that we care about you? We just want to use the Sand Monster to bring us to the foot of the iceberg. If you know what's good for you, you'd better listen to us and follow us to the foot of the iceberg. Otherwise, we'll have to use some tricks to make you listen to us. "The skinny young man could not help but reveal his true intention.
"So, you guys are sure that you don't want to move aside?" Lin Huang did not even look at the skinny young man and stared at George Kang.
