1688 The battle in the desert (1)

Tang Zhen picked up the items left on the ground and slowly advanced.

This vast desert seemed to have no end. The scorching hot air made it difficult for people to breathe. Under the situation where his strength was sealed, Tang Zhen was not much different from the other participants.

The inn owner had once said that the trial of fate gave everyone a fair starting point, and how far they could go depended on their own luck and strength.

Now it seemed that it was true. Even with his strength, he could not get any care.

After sensing the surrounding environment, Tang Zhen was even more certain that this was a world created by a master of creation. It was specially prepared for the trial of fate.

In this world, any thoughts of the creator could be turned into reality. It could be said that the world was as wonderful as the hole in one’s brain.

However, once the creatures here went outside, they would lose their original strength. Even an expert who could tear the void with one hand might not even be able to kill an ant after staying outside for a period of time.

this was the flaw of the masters of creation’s world. in order to become a true plane, more harsh conditions were required.

However, in this world, the creator was the God and ruler. He could decide life and death with a single thought.

Tang Zhen was filled with interest towards this special world. Even if it was just a grain of sand under his feet, he would be able to study it for half a day. He wanted to explore the profoundness of this world.

However, with his cultivation sealed, it would be impossible for him to figure out the secret here.

He hadn’t even reached the 2nd realm of the sector Lord realm yet, so it was a bit of a stretch to think he could study the secrets of the creator level.

Putting aside this unrealistic thought, Tang Zhen continued to move forward and very quickly, he encountered another participant.

That person looked at Tang Zhen from a distance. After hesitating for a moment, he immediately turned around and dodged. It seemed that he was very afraid of coming into contact with Tang Zhen.

Tang Zhen could not be bothered with the other party. He continued to head in a fixed direction in an attempt to leave the desert as soon as possible.

Who knew that not long after he walked out, Tang Zhen saw that the trial-taker who had avoided him earlier was stopped by someone. There were two of them and they surrounded the trial-taker.

He didn’t know why these two trial-takers had gathered together, but in this situation, the more people there were, the more advantageous they were.

The three of them started fighting, and it didn’t take long before the lone cultivator was killed, turning into a white light and disappearing.

The two participants picked up their water bottle weapons from the ground and looked towards Tang Zhen’s direction. Their eyes were filled with greed and cruelty.

Tang Zhen knew what they were thinking. They wanted to kill him and snatch the water from him.

The desert was extremely large, and no one knew when they would be able to get out, so it was necessary to have enough water.

Clean water was their lifeline. If there was a lack of water, they would die of thirst sooner or later, even if they were not killed.

The best way to obtain clean water was to kill other participants and snatch their resources.

This was a very sinister Gu refinement method, if the cultivator wanted to pass the trial, he would have to fight with other cultivators.

Just as he had this thought, he saw two trial-takers running towards him.

Tang Zhen did not move. He merely coldly looked at the other party.

Although his strength had been sealed, his years of fighting experience and fighting skills were still there. How could two small fish offend him?

In merely a dozen breaths ‘time, the two trial-takers had already rushed in front of Tang Zhen. They grinned hideously as they charged at Tang Zhen.

They did not even bother to say threatening words. They only wanted to directly get rid of Tang Zhen and reduce one competitor.

Just as the enemy launched their attack, Zhen Tang’s left hand suddenly raised and a dagger flew out, stabbing into the enemy’s throat.

At the same time, he waved the long saber in his hand, twisted his body slightly, and brushed past another enemy.

The long saber was stained with blood, and the outcome was decided.

The enemy rushed forward a few steps, his face full of unwillingness, and fell into the yellow sand.

Tang Zhen picked up the items on the ground and revealed a pondering expression as he watched the two corpses turn into white light and disappear.

Other than the two daggers, there was also a wrist guard, which was part of the armor. It was estimated that he would have to slowly collect it to make a set.

Tang Zhen kept all these things and continued to move forward.

After walking for a few hours, Tang Zhen saw quite a number of participants. During this period of time, he had fought with others several times. The equipment on his body had also become more and more sophisticated.

When those cultivators saw the string of water bottles on Tang Zhen’s body, their eyes were filled with greed. They wanted to snatch it away, but they hesitated and didn’t dare to step forward.

The preliminary equipment of the trial-takers was basically the same. The water bottles on Tang Zhen’s body were obviously plundered. After estimating each other’s strength, most of the trial-takers chose to stay away from them.

However, there were still cultivators who rushed up. They had already finished their water bottles. If they did not think of a solution soon, they would die of thirst.

In this incomparably realistic world, the feeling of hunger and thirst would be magnified countless times, and the trial-taker would not be able to bear it at all.

After drinking a bottle of water, it would not be long before he would be thirsty again, as if what he had drunk was not water, but dry sand.

Due to his desire for fresh water, a battle was unavoidable. Tang Zhen did not hesitate to kill those people who took the initiative to court death.

After the battle ended, they would pick the equipment that caught their eye and continuously upgrade their weapons and equipment.

After killing more than ten trial-takers who were on the verge of going crazy, Tang Zhen received a follower whose task was to carry his supplies.

This fellow was similarly thirsty to the point that his throat was smoking. However, after seeing the outcome of the trial-takers earlier, he wisely chose not to fight head-on. Instead, he slowly followed behind Tang Zhen.

With every step that Tang Zhen took, he would take a step as well.

The distance between the two of them was very suitable, so it would not make people feel uncomfortable, and the hostility would be greatly reduced.

Time slowly passed. Although this fellow was so thirsty that he was about to go crazy, he still restrained his impulse to charge forward and quietly followed behind Tang Zhen.

Tang Zhen walked for a distance before turning around and looking at that participant.

your body is so strong, so your strength must not be small. If you can win by fighting, why don’t you fight with me? ”

Upon hearing Tang Zhen’s question, the burly man bitterly laughed and replied with a hoarse voice, I know my own limits. I’m definitely not your match. Rather than throwing my life away like this, I might as well follow you and wait for an opportunity.

“What chance?”

I’ll wait for you to fight. If there are many enemies, I’ll help you. If you die, I’ll take your things.

The burly man did not hide his thoughts as he spoke word by word to Tang Zhen.

Tang Zhen smiled. He felt that the other party was just like a hungry wolf in the desert.

He took a water bottle and threw it to the brawny man. The man reached out to take it and drank it all in one gulp.

“Is that enough?”

“As long as you don’t die of thirst, that’s enough!”

Tang Zhen smiled. He threw the water bottle and the extra weapons on his body onto the ground. He looked at the strong man and said,”I still need someone to help me carry these things.”

The brawny man nodded. He walked forward and carried the water bottle and weapon on his back before silently standing behind Tang Zhen.

“What’s your name?”

“I don’t have a name, I was born to be raised, but those who know me call me iron head.”

Tang Zhen laughed out loud as he looked at the bald head of the strong man,”Iron head, you’re really worthy of your name.”

The brawny man chuckled and touched his bald head as if it was a habit.

“Let’s go, Ironhead. I’d like to see when we’ll reach the end of this desert!”

The road city was still filled with endless killing, especially when the sky was approaching dusk. From time to time, dazzling white light could be seen flashing in the surroundings.

Only the heavens knew how many cultivators had participated in this trial. After experiencing a series of battles, the cultivators who survived all had extraordinary means.

However, another problem appeared in front of the trial-takers, and that was that they had no source of food.

If they didn’t eat for a long time, it would only make their physical strength weaker and weaker. Without sufficient physical strength, it would be wishful thinking if they wanted to walk out of this boundless desert.

As he looked at the scorching sun that was still hanging high above his head after dozens of hours, Tang Zhen reckoned that he would soon have a hint about food.
