Dumb stomped down, and half of its leg bone sank into the quicksand.
It was as if it had fallen into a deep pit. The quicksand around it kept gathering, like a whirlpool that wanted to swallow everything.
Dumb stomped its left leg into the sand, creating a sandstorm.
Then … both of its legs sank into the quicksand.
Flamy flew up, grabbed Dumb's ribs with its claws, and pulled Dumb out of the quicksand.
Dumb, who was pulled out, stared in shock at the desert that had almost swallowed it.
"The desert is different from land. You might not be used to it," Gao Peng couldn't help but say.
The sand in the desert was fluid and soft. It required special techniques to exert force, or else it would be easy to get stuck in the quicksand.
This was especially true for heavy familiars.
Flamy flew wildly in the sky, looking down at Dumb, who was stumbling around, and couldn't help but laugh devilishly.
Huo huo huo huo —
Da Zi also spread its wings and flew in the sky, turning into a bolt of purple lightning. It flew forward and backward at times.
Dumb walked for a while and gradually learned how to walk in the desert. Its body leaned forward, its back bent, and every step it took was as if it was walking on its tiptoes.
"Sha —"
A gray sand snake slithered out of the sand under its feet.
The sand snake opened its fangs and bit Dumb's ankle with lightning speed!
It spun in the air and disappeared into the sand, leaving behind a broken tooth beside Dumb's ankle.
The Desert Ruler was made of sand. Not only was its movement unrestricted in the desert, but it was also like a tiger that had grown wings.
Dumb could barely walk in the desert, and its normal movements wouldn't be affected. However, once Dumb used too much strength, its movements would be greatly restricted.
Dumb, who had reached Lord-tier, had terrifying strength. Every move it made was explosive. Dumb also had a slender body, so it would sink into the quicksand if it used too much strength.
That was why it couldn't fight the Desert Ruler in the desert.
Gao Peng's expression was serious.
"Don't go too deep into the desert. Let's just look around the periphery."
After that, Gao Peng no longer ventured deeper into the desert. Instead, he walked along the outer ring of the desert.
Gao Peng had been to Dali Desert once before, but the Dali Desert of that time and the Dali Desert of today were completely different.
The air was filled with the faint smell of sand. Tiny and dense grains of sand floated in the air all the time. Although it was November, the sun was shining brightly above their heads, and the surrounding temperature was not low.
"The Sand Elementals here are very violent." Dumb stopped and spread out his right hand.
"Very irritable?" This was the first time Gao Peng had heard of such a thing.
"When Lord-tier monsters live in a certain area for a long time, the surrounding environment will be exposed to radiation. The elements in the air will also be infected," Dumb explained.
Gao Peng nodded. He thought of the lake where the White Dragon had lived for a long time. The lake water was exceptionally clear and cold. At first, he thought that it was because of the lake water, but now he thought that it was probably because of the erosion of the White Dragon.
Although the sand element was considered active, it had never been a violent element.
Looking at the big picture through a tube, he could foresee that the person in the depths of the desert was also a violent old man.
Sounds of fighting could be heard in the distance. In such an open environment like the desert, the sound could not travel too far, so it should not be too far away.
Flamy flew up. "Gao Peng, there are people killing monsters up ahead."
Gao Peng led a few familiars up the hill. At the foot of the hill, there were people and familiars fighting with a group of monsters.
These monsters had very strange shapes. There was no uniform appearance at all. Some looked like hedgehogs, but they were yellowish-brown in color. Long needles like quicksand flowed continuously. Some looked like pythons, slithering across the sand. There were also some with slender bodies, with seven or eight arms, baring their fangs and brandishing their claws.
There were about forty of these sand monsters.
Surrounded in the center was a team of ten. There were more than twenty familiars in total. Facing the forty monsters surrounding them, they were slowly losing ground. They kept retreating inwards.
At the outermost periphery were the defense-type familiars with rough skin and thick flesh. When the sand monsters' attacks landed on them, they only caused some superficial wounds. It was precisely because of these defense-type familiars that they were not completely defeated.
There were a few cactus-like familiars with large white needles on the surface of their bodies. They were five or six meters tall and had segmented limbs that looked like arms sticking out.
[Monster Name]: Berserk Guardian Pillar
[Monster Level]: Level 18
[Monster Grade]: Normal
[Monster Attribute]: Wood
[Monster Weakness]: Fire
It swung its limbs like a baseball bat, and a few white needles flew out, almost undetectable.
In an instant, the needles sank into the sand monster's body. The sand monster's movements stiffened for a moment, then continued to move.
Piercing attacks did not have much effect on monsters like the sand monster.
Gao Peng watched coldly from the sidelines. He was also observing the sand monster's battle habits and how it reacted to different attacks during battle.
He found that all the piercing attacks landed on the sand monster's body like tickling it. Only the barbaric blunt attacks posed a greater threat to the sand monster.
A Black Iron Rhinoceros stomped forward violently. The ground trembled and dust rose under its feet. Its two legs sank into the sand. However, the sharp horns on its nose smashed into a sand monster's body. On the spot, half of the sand monster's body collapsed. A yellow heart-like object fell out of its body. The rest of the sand monster's body shook a little, then collapsed with a loud bang! Only a small ball of yellow sand was left on the surface of the heart, slowly moving up and down …
[Monster Name]: Sand Monster
[Monster Level]: Level 12
[Monster Condition]: Fatal Injury (Unconscious)
[Monster Attribute]: Sand
[Monster Weakness]: 1. Ice 2. Destroy the sand core in its body 3. After the monster's body is cut off, part of its strength will be weakened. The cut off body can quickly merge back into the body. It takes a lot of time to reabsorb the sand and reassemble the body.
The heart-like object should be the sand monster's sand core. As long as the sand core could be removed from the sand monster's body, the sand monster would fall into a coma.
Gao Peng silently remembered this point.
The other sand monsters fighting around him had their arms cut off. The arms fell to the ground. The sand monsters picked up the severed arms and took two steps back. Then, they aligned the severed arms with the severed arms.
In just a few minutes, the severed arms were reattached, but their movements were still a little stiff and slow.
Gao Peng suddenly thought of something. Dumb, who was standing beside Gao Peng, touched the Bloodseeker's Heart along the gap between the ribs with his right hand.
The Bloodseeker's Heart beat quietly …
The sand monster's Heart Core was pulled and suddenly contracted inwards!
Thump.
Thump.
Thump.
Every time it contracted, the sand monster's movements became more and more sluggish.
The sound of its heartbeat became more and more rapid. The sand monster's body was stiff and twisted, as if it was doing a mechanical dance. Its neck and limbs were weirdly twisted into exaggerated arcs.
Accompanied by the crisp sound of a silver bottle breaking.
