After packing up the tent, both of them rode on Tyrant's shoulders and headed east.
For some reason, they were attacked by monsters along the way. Fortunately, Tyrant was strong and managed to suppress the monsters almost instantaneously without wasting any time.
Lin Huang thought that it was strange. When Tyrant was on its way, the other monsters avoided it. Even if they did not avoid it, they hid and did not encounter any attacks along the way.
However, after traveling for a few hours, they were attacked four times. The monsters were not as strong as Tyrant and they seemed to be seeking death.
Logically, regardless of their intelligence, all monsters would know to stay away from danger. It was an evolved instinct. It was unusual for monsters to seek death.
At around one o'clock in the afternoon, the temperature in the desert reached its highest.
Lin Huang and Fatso saw a dilapidated house not far away. They asked Tyrant to stop and rest for a while.
The house was a supply point built by the Hunters' Association.
Lin Huang and Fatso got down from Tyrant and walked towards the supply point.
From the external structure of the house, it was obvious that it had been there for a long time. It was not a supply point built specifically for the assessment. It had always been there.
The Hunters' Association would often build supply points in the wild to provide convenience for passersby.
"Looking at the weathered state of the house, this supply point has been here for at least thirty years. I wonder if it's been abandoned," Fatso said casually.
"Even if it's an abandoned supply point, there's a high chance that it will be used again for the assessment. This house is on the route to the end of the assessment and this area is in the middle of the assessment route. The supply point is placed here to eliminate a batch of weaklings who can't even complete the first half of the assessment. At the same time, it increases the chances of those who have completed the first half of the assessment. "Lin Huang thought that there was an 80% chance that there were supplies in the supply point." Let's go in and take a look. "
After entering the house, both of them realized that the supply point was indeed a warehouse. There was a large amount of bottled water and some high-energy fast food.
Fatso cheerfully walked towards the fast-food shelf. After rummaging around, he took out a packet and directly opened it to eat, making crunching sounds.
Lin Huang took a bucket of water and put it in his storage space before walking toward Fatso. "Are you hungry?"
"I'm a little hungry. This brand of potato chips is my favorite." Fatso seemed to deliberately disgust Lin Huang. After that, he even showed his fingers.
"If you're hungry, hurry up and cook. You only need to eat one pack. You know the rules." Lin Huang walked out after he finished speaking. The rule he mentioned was actually an unwritten rule that all Hunters would abide by — they should only take an appropriate amount of items from the supply point.
This was because the supplies at the supply point were prepared for passers-by who were in urgent need. Sometimes, a glass of water or a mouthful of food could save a life. Therefore, people who were not in urgent need could just take an appropriate amount of items that they needed.
Although Fatso was thick-skinned, he would not openly violate such a rule. After finishing a pack of potato chips, he took another pack and put it in his storage space. After that, he took a bucket of water and walked out of the house.
Lin Huang sat on the shady corridor in front of the house and drank water. When he saw Fatso coming out, he did not forget to remind him, "Remember to wash your hands before cooking!"
He had to admit that Fatso was indeed a good cook. It was just that he was a little unhygienic.
After watching Fatso wash his hands, Lin Huang was finally relieved to let him cook.
It did not take long before Fatso was done barbecuing. The two sat on the shady corridor and ate the barbecued meat while drinking water …
"Actually, I brought beer before I came. I wanted to have a good time during the assessment, but it was confiscated before the assessment even started," Fatso complained.
"This is an assessment. Do you think it's a holiday?" Lin Huang thought that Fatso's attitude was really good. He did not forget to enjoy himself no matter where he went.
"Of course, you have to drink when you're eating barbecued meat. Do you think it's appropriate to eat barbecued meat with water?" Fatso said righteously.
Lin Huang thought about it. Eating barbecued meat and drinking water was indeed a little weird.
"Alright, stop complaining. After we finish eating, we'll try to reach the foot of the snowy mountain before the sky turns dark. " Lin Huang had already arranged the itinerary. Based on Tyrant's current speed, they would probably reach the foot of the snowy mountain in six to seven hours.
After eating barbecued meat, Fatso tidied up the kitchen utensils and they set off again.
Tyrant ran against the sun. The sand reflected a piercing reddish-gold light under the sun. Lin Huang and Fatso put on their sunglasses and it felt like they were on a holiday.
After walking for a while, Lin Huang could vaguely see the sand moving. It seemed like there was something under the sand. He took off his sunglasses immediately and looked at the direction of the sand moving. However, there was nothing.
Lin Huang frowned and pointed at the direction where he saw the movement. He shouted at Fatso, "Fatso, did you see the sand moving in that direction?"
"I didn't see anything. You must have seen wrongly. There's no wind now. If there's any movement in the desert, I can see it clearly. "Fatso waved his hand.
Just as he finished his sentence, the layer of sand from afar started moving rapidly towards the direction of the Sand Monster.
"There's really something!" Lin Huang shouted. At that moment, the Sand Monster seemed to have smelled something and started to feel uneasy.
Tyrant's unusual reaction made Lin Huang even more cautious. It meant that the Sand Monster was up to no good. Although he had no idea what it was, he grabbed Tyrant's beard tightly and took out his GrayEagle17 with the other hand.
"Tyrant, stop!"
Lin Huang quickly ordered Tyrant. He realized that the Sand Monster was much faster than Tyrant. If it ran away, it would catch up easily and it would be harder to fight back. It was better to wait for the Sand Monster to come and fight it head on.
"Fatso, get ready. I don't think it's easy to deal with this thing." Lin Huang shouted at Fatso.
Fatso was already prepared. He noticed Tyrant's unusual reaction and it seemed like it was afraid of the thing that was coming towards them.
Tyrant suddenly stopped moving. Its chest started to rise and fall rapidly. Lin Huang could clearly feel its heartbeat speeding up.
He aimed the GrayEagle17 at the undulating sand and pulled the trigger without hesitation.
As he did not have many explosive bullets and he could not lock on to the Sand Monster, Lin Huang used the special bullets of his GrayEagle17.
However, the bullets seemed to have limited effect on the Sand Monster. It did not stop the Sand Monster from moving forward at all. It even made a "ding ding" sound when it hit a thick metal plate. Lin Huang knew that the bullets did not break through its defense.
Fatso was familiar with the GrayEagle17. Seeing that the bullets could not even break through its defense, his face turned pale.
Tyrant, on the other hand, was roaring furiously and violently …
