Monsters like the Sand Monsters grew up in the desert. In the desert, their survival ability was much stronger than the camels on Earth.
When they had a lot of food, they would overeat and accumulate a lot of fat in their bodies. When there was no food and water, they could obtain energy and water by breaking down the fat in their bodies.
A Sand Monster with enough fat could live for more than half a year without water and could live for at least three years without food.
Their skin was thick and it could protect them from the wind and sand. Even their eyelids were made of three layers so that their movement would not be affected by the wind and sand.
Due to their unique body structure, the Sand Monsters were the top predators in the desert.
The Sand Monsters' feet were huge, at least twice the size of a human's feet. This allowed them to move faster than other giants in the desert.
Tyrant was five times the size of a human but its speed in the desert was more than five times faster than a human. It was more than 20 times faster than a normal human. Even an iron-level rank-3 human could only travel 20 kilometers an hour in the desert. Tyrant could travel more than 80 kilometers an hour in the desert. If it ran at full speed, it could travel more than 100 kilometers an hour.
As it was bumpy on Tyrant's shoulder, Lin Huang asked him to control the speed to be 80 kilometers per hour. However, it only took him two hours on the first night to catch up with what the others would have to travel in a day.
With the Sand Monster's strength, it was no different than before with Fatso on its shoulder. Its speed did not decrease at all.
Looking at Fatso's uncomfortable expression, Lin Huang laughed in his heart. He was not any better than Fatso during the two hours yesterday. However, he got used to it today and felt much better. Thinking about the bumpy ride and the hair on his butt, Lin Huang mumbled, "I shouldn't have shaved my body hair yesterday …"
The Sand Monster had been running for more than four hours. Fatso could not stand it anymore and started complaining.
"Take a break, take a break! Oh my god, my butt is split into two! "
In fact, Lin Huang's buttocks were numb from sitting so he asked Tyrant to stop when he heard Fatso's voice.
Tyrant put both of them on the ground. Fatso rubbed his butt and walked towards Lin Huang. "Let's take a break, eat something, drink some water, and continue our journey."
Lin Huang nodded. "Take a break and drink some water. I'll let Tyrant go hunting."
"You don't have to let him go, I have some here!" Fatso took out the kettle and drank a few mouthfuls of water.
After screwing the kettle shut and putting it back into the storage space, Fatty took out a set of cutlery and a square piece of meat about the size of a basketball.
"Where did you get the ingredients? Didn't I confiscate them yesterday?" Lin Huang asked in confusion.
"What are you thinking? I don't have the ability to smuggle ingredients in. I cut this off from the Armored Pig the team killed yesterday. It's good stuff! I treat you like a brother. If not, why would I take it out? I wanted to keep it for myself. " After the fatty finished speaking, he began to cut the meat. With a few slashes, the meat was cut into slices.
"So you're a chef." Looking at Fatso's smooth cutting skills, Lin Huang finally knew Fatso's occupation.
"What chef?! I'm a man who wants to be a Food Hunter! "Fatso raised his head and retorted.
There were many types of hunters in the Hunters' Association. Other than the Monster Hunters who specialized in killing monsters, there were also Food Hunters who made delicious food, Treasure Hunters who searched for treasures, Guardian Hunters who protected rare species …
The Hunters' Association was a free organization. Not only did they train their own talents, they also provided talents to other organizations.
The assessment of the Reserve Hunter was not divided into different categories. If Fatso wanted to become a Food Hunter certified by the Hunters' Association, he had to become a Reserve Hunter first. Then, he could choose the category of assessment during the Bronze Hunter assessment. Only by passing the Food Hunter assessment and becoming an official hunter, would the Hunters' Association certify him as a Food Hunter.
In less than 20 minutes, Fatso was done grilling the meat.
Lin Huang tasted a piece and his eyes lit up. "Fatso, I couldn't tell that you're a good cook."
Fatso's cooking was indeed good. The grilled meat was much better than the one Lin Huang made the day before. Although it was not as good as the one at the Stable Residence, it was the second best grilled meat that Lin Huang had ever tasted.
Hearing Lin Huang's compliment, Fatso was so happy that his eyes almost disappeared. He quickly started eating.
"Gulp, gulp …"
Suddenly, both of them heard a strange sound. They looked towards the source of the sound and saw Tyrant's saliva dripping out. He kept swallowing his saliva.
"Fatso, grill a big piece for him later." Lin Huang suggested seeing how pitiful he was.
"If you feed him until he's full, we'll have to starve tonight." Fatso was dissatisfied.
"Just grill a piece for him and let him have a taste." Lin Huang knew that it was not easy to feed Tyrant. With his body size, he could even eat a ton of meat a day and store it as fat.
Although Fatso was reluctant, he took out a piece of steak and grilled it as he thought that he would have to ride on the Sand Monster later.
Both of them finished their meal slowly and the steak was almost done. Fatso brought the steak to Tyrant with a pair of tongs, "Big guy, this is yours."
Although Tyrant was drooling, he still looked at Lin Huang.
"Eat."
Seeing that Lin Huang nodded his head, he then took the steak and threw it into his mouth to chew. Not long after, he swallowed it along with the bones.
"Damn, it doesn't even spit out bones?!" It was the first time Fatso saw a Sand Monster eating and he was shocked.
"The digestive system of giants is hundreds of times more corrosive than a human's digestive system. Even the bones can be digested after being chewed. When did you hear that giants spit out bones after eating humans?" Lin Huang explained to Fatso.
"That's true. In the videos, the giants seem to be chewed up and swallowed alive." Fatty recalled the videos he had seen before and finally remembered that there was such a thing.
"Alright, we've finished our meal. Let's pack up and go. If we're quick, we can reach the foot of the mountain tomorrow night. Let's rest for the night and we can start climbing the mountain the day after tomorrow. " Lin Huang had already planned for Tyrant to travel for ten hours every day so that they could reach the foot of the mountain in two days.
"Alright!"
Fatso was excited. To be able to complete the journey that would take others more than ten days in two days, the assessment could not be any easier. However, the bumpiness was unbearable.
After packing up, both of them rode on Tyrant's shoulder again …
