The group of people were all stunned.
“What Buddha? Who asked you about that? I was asking if Vincent came this way.”
“Buddha.” Ashraf’s answer remained the same.
“Who’s asking you about the damn Buddha! I’m asking if he really came this way?!
“Buddha.”
“F*ck! Did he come or not?!!!”
“Buddha.’
„F*ck you!”
All the people on the other side were going crazy with anger.
What the hell are they talking about?
You’re a foreigner, but you’ve been blessed with a translation skill when you went abroad, so everyone’s language should be understood, right?!
Is it that you don’t understand what I’m saying, or I don’t understand what you’re saying?!
Ashraf shook his head at the angry people in front of him.
“Player Vincent is not here.”
The players were stunned, then laughed, diffusing the tense atmosphere.
“Haha, so you knew, why didn’t you say so earlier? What’s with all the irrelevant stuff? So, you know he’s not here, do you know where he is?”
“I know.” “Where is he?”
“In your hearts.”
? They paused, dumbfounded.
Ashraf didn’t bother with them anymore and continued heading towards his original destination.
“Master, I have achieved enlightenment.”
“Enlightenment. I’m wet.”
“Has Vincent come? Buddha!”
“I’ve figured it out! Vincent is not a tangible person; he’s not a physical entity.”
“With the guidance from above, I suddenly see the light! So this is the truth, and the truth is formless!”
“Thank you, Master [praying hands] [praying hands] [praying hands]!”
Now, Vincent was at the southern edge of the Life Secret Realm.
This place used to be a desert, but now it is covered with vast oases, with only about one-fifth of the area still remaining as desert.
There was definitely nothing worthwhile in the oasis. Vincent could only search for possible resources in the remaining desert area. “What can I find here? It all seems like sand.”
Vincent muttered a few words.
Stepping on the soft golden sand beneath his feet felt quite nice, but it was too monotonous. At first glance, everything was sand; where could he find valuable items?
“The areas with oases have too much life-energy, and the demon beasts must not be among them. They can only be found in the remaining desert.”
“But it seems I can’t find any traces of them in the desert either. This is a bit tricky.”
Vincent leaned against the big black tiger and started to think.
“The demon beasts that can still move now must have a lot of resources stored up; otherwise, they would have died already.”
“And I can’t find those resources on my own.”
“So… can I find another way for the demon beasts to help me locate their resources?”
“But everything is so calm now. Even if there were demon beasts, they would be under the sand; I can’t burrow into the sand, its pressure is much stronger than water.”
Suddenly, Vincent had a flash of insight.
“Right, how could I almost forget this!”
“I still have a surefire way to attract demon beasts!”
Vincent stretched out his hand, and in his palm, a force of death was gradually condensing and growing stronger. Soon, a considerable mass had formed. Then, Vincent casually threw the power of death onto the ground, and it sank into the sand, slowly dissipating.
After waiting a while with no response, Vincent thought that his bait was too small and could not attract the demon beasts. So he began to throw more forces of death onto the ground, one by one.
Thump, thump, thump—
Vincent ran through the desert, releasing clumps of death-energy from his hands, constantly soaking it into the sand beneath his feet, similar to how people do when fishing for bait.
However, unlike fishing, Vincent was trying to catch something fiercer — demon beasts.
Buzz-
At first, it was a slight but unnoticeable vibration of the sandstone. The weak tremor didn’t even catch the excited Vincent’s attention.
But the vibration became more and more apparent, with the sand on the desert surface bouncing up, like droplets on a boiling oil pan.
By this time, Vincent finally reacted.
“It’s coming, it’s coming, a big one is coming!”
However, his feet were shaking so much that he could hardly stand. It felt like something deep in the desert sand was rushing upwards.
After sensing something coming from below, Vincent stomped his feet and jumped onto the giant bat.
“Giant Bat, fly up quickly!”
The giant bat also sensed the anomaly, hurriedly flapped its wings and soared upwards.
Within a minute, the sand in the desert began to flow and collapse like an hourglass, and the rolling sand looked like running water.
Vincent looked down at the whirlpool-like quicksand forming in the desert and was glad he had jumped onto the giant bat in time. If he had fallen into it, he would have been buried deep in the sand.
“The desert looks calm on the surface, but when something happens, it can cause such a commotion.”
Before he could finish speaking, a fierce earthy yellow giant worm emerged from the center of the quicksand.
The worm was over ten meters long and covered in thick, sandy yellow scales, looking like a moving small hill. Its anterior mouth apparatus was exposed, with rows of sharp fangs opening and closing, looking utterly terrifying and horrifying..
