"Some people believe that this is the power of a nation's fate. Don't you think it's a fantasy?" Director Chen said with a smile. "They believe that wherever people live, there will naturally be a nation's fate suppressing it. That's why many highways have not been destroyed, because cars often drive there. It's said that the more uninhabited a place is, the greater the change."
"Nation's fate …" Gao Peng did not have the energy to complain. After thinking about it, he could not help but admire these people's imagination. But who could say for sure whether or not it was just imagination?
In the end, they studied for three hours, and Gao Peng also freeloaded for three hours to familiarize himself with the experimental equipment.
The weakness of the Shatuo Man-eating Earthworm was finally discovered by Director Chen. In fact, the weakness of monsters like earthworms was still traceable. Before the Cataclysm, earthworms were afraid of water loss in their bodies and all sorts of high temperatures.
The results were similar. Gao Peng glanced at the weakness that Director Chen had discovered. It was not much different from the one he had seen in the data frame. Generally speaking, there were no problems.
"Come over and take a look. This is the real reason that caused the Shatuo Man-eating Earthworm to flee." Director Chen beckoned Gao Peng over.
In front of Director Chen was a projector. After plugging in the USB drive, the projector lit up first, and then an image gradually appeared.
The wind howled, and the image was very bright. It was probably taken at noon or in the afternoon when the sun was at its brightest.
The yellow desert was extremely dry. When the wind blew, it blew away the sand and dust.
The image was taken from a God's perspective. There was also the sound of wings vibrating. It was probably taken by a drone.
Suddenly, two bright flames could be seen flying out and landing in the middle of the desert.
These were two mounted missiles.
Boom, boom.
Two explosions sounded in the middle of the desert. Large amounts of sand flew in all directions. Black smoke billowed, and two huge craters were left in the ground.
After the black smoke dissipated, streams of sand could be seen flowing from the edges of the craters into the interior of the craters.
Then, the image suddenly changed. It changed to another long-range shot. In the image, there was a drone flying in the air above the desert.
Then, long lines that looked like quicksand flew out of the desert and shot into the sky at a terrifying speed, leaving long black shadows behind them.
The drone had no time to dodge and was directly hit by the quicksand. It was immediately cut into several pieces and fell from the sky.
In a flash, the quicksand in the middle of the desert began to flow and then condensed towards the center. The quicksand grew taller and taller, standing in a way that did not conform to the laws of physics, as if there was something supporting the sand from the inside.
Layers of quicksand flowed down from the top of the quicksand like water, finally condensing into a humanoid monster that was at least ten meters tall. Its entire body was made of sand, but it had no legs. It was like a sand elemental.
The monster's lower body was connected to the desert like a stone statue standing in the desert.
At the point where it touched the desert, a yellow halo slowly bloomed outwards.
The monster seemed to have noticed another drone in the distance, and it slowly turned its head. There was no emotion in its empty eye sockets, and the two sunken pits were extremely deep.
[Monster Name]: Desert Ruler
[Monster Level]: Level 41 (Lord tier)
[Monster Grade]: Excellent
[Monster Attribute]: Sand/Earth
[Special Characteristics]: Sand Fusion (Passive Effect 1: When the Desert Ruler is in a desert environment, sand monsters will naturally appear where it is. The sand monsters obey the Desert Ruler's commands completely. When the Desert Ruler is injured, it can consume sand monsters to heal its wounds.
Passive Effect 2: Can consume large amounts of sand and sand monsters in a short period of time to increase its combat power. Its combat power will increase according to the amount of sand it consumes, but after the increase, it will be weakened for a certain period of time.)
[Monster Ability]: Sand Control Level 3
[Monster Weakness]: 1. The Desert Ruler has the Sand Spirit's Heart inside its body. Destroying the Sand Spirit's Heart will severely injure the Desert Ruler. 2. Ice-type.
This was the strongest monster Gao Peng had ever seen. It was also the first time he had seen a Lord-tier monster's attributes.
"Is this the monster that drove the Shatuo Man-eating Earthworms out of the Dali Desert?" the researcher called Xiao Wang muttered to himself with wide eyes.
"Another Lord-tier monster …" Lil 'Wang's voice was trembling. "And it's an extremely rare elemental Lord-tier monster."
Director Chen patted Xiao Wang's shoulder. "Don't worry. These monsters will be driven out by us sooner or later."
After speaking with Director Chen, Gao Peng found out that Xiao Wang's parents had been killed by a Lord-tier monster a year ago. Not even their bodies were left behind.
"The military has named this newly discovered monster the Desert Ruler," Director Chen said in a heavy tone.
Hearing Director Chen mention the monster's name, Gao Peng's heart skipped a beat. Where did this data frame come from?
At first, he thought that it was based on what he knew, but he soon realized that he was wrong. Sometimes, he had never even heard of these monsters' names in books or documents.
It was as if this data frame had the ability to predict the future …
Wait a minute, predict the future? Gao Peng seemed to have grasped something.
"The Dali Desert is very close to Chang 'an City, only two hundred kilometers away. For Lord-tier monsters, this is a very delicate distance. Under normal circumstances, Lord-tier monsters will not leave their own territory. This is because Lord-tier monsters will evolve into legendary King-tier monsters. For them, this is a very long process of evolution. So, Lord-tier monsters will usually choose an environment suitable for their evolution and wait for their evolution."
"Only treasures that are extremely beneficial to their evolution can lure them out of their territory." Director Chen paused. "But how can we allow others to sleep on our side bed? We will not provoke the Desert Ruler, but we must find a way to deal with it! This is the military's idea, and also the government's decision. "
"We cannot place the safety of the millions of people in Chang 'an City at the whim of a monster," Director Chen said solemnly.
"But we don't have any material. We can't just make it up out of thin air," one of the researchers said in distress.
"The military has captured some small sand monsters outside the Dali Desert. They look similar to the Desert Ruler. They should be able to provide some inspiration. The sand monsters are on the way, and should be arriving soon."
As soon as he finished speaking, the elevator doors opened with a ding. Several military personnel walked out, carrying a sealed metal box. At the bottom of the box were four pulleys.
