Chapter 1031: Discovery in the Desert (Part One)

                                                                               

[TL Note: This chapter is a 2-in-1, so it will be broken down into four parts.]

"The fierce beasts that lived in the [Metal Desert] never came out until about 50 years ago. For some reason, many fierce beasts would rush out of the desert in intervals, killing everything and treating orcs as food. Also, the Beast G.o.d Palace discovered that the [Metal Desert] was increasing in size. About 50 years had pa.s.sed, and this bloodthirsty desert's size increased by ten times. Also, this speed is growing. If this continues, the entire [Banished Land] will be devoured by this desert in less than 100 years, becoming a paradise for fierce beasts."

Fei nodded. He had heard about such things from Pig Clan Chief Altis, but he didn't know that the situation was this dire.

"During the party, the masters of Lion Clan who were stationed by the [Metal Desert] rushed back to report something unusual. The desert suddenly enlarged, pus.h.i.+ng outward by about 40 kilometers in one to two hours. This was the fastest and furthest expansion that we have ever seen. It seems like something strange is happening in the center of the desert.

As Great Priest Nash said that, the worry on his face intensified.

While they talked, the group was less than 100 meters away from the [Metal Desert].

This was a truly fascinating place. It was a desert that was floating in the sky, and tornadoes carried red sand grains and looked like a giant pot of boiling blood, emitting a violent aura full of vicissitude.

The wind power at the edge of the [Metal Desert] was already shocking, and the fine sand grains were scarier than arrows that were shot out of strong bows.

Fei felt like if a Seven-Star Warrior entered this desert, this person would be turned into a sieve by all the fine sand grains.

This was like a desert of death. Fortunately, everyone who came here was either a human master or an orc master.

Everyone opened their energy s.h.i.+elds and protected themselves. Even though Pope Entus didn't have any warrior energy and magic energy, his powerful followers protected him, and he didn't have to worry about those scary sand grains.

"The Beast G.o.d told me that we must venture deep into the desert to find the truth."

After closing his eyes and praying for a while, Entus turned around and picked 25 orc masters from various clans who were all at peak Burning Sun Realm. Then, he said to Fei, "This trip might be dangerous. Is Your Majesty interesting in helping me?"

"Of course! I'm glad to battle alongside orc warriors."

All the behemoth orcs in the area respected Fei a lot more after hearing his response.

This issue was not related to humans. Since the King of Chambord knew the danger, he was still willing to enter. The orcs were awed by Fei's bravery and friendliness.

The poor orcs had no idea that they were 'sold' by their most trusted and beloved pope.

After preparing at the edge, Fei, Entus, and those 25 orc masters entered the blood-like desert with warrior energy flames enveloping them.

Elena and other members of Chambord stayed outside.

The Valkyrie was at peak Burning Sun Realm, and her combat abilities already reached the Demi-G.o.d Realm. Also, Fei gave her 100 mystical gold war puppets, which were equivalent to 100 Sun-Cla.s.s Lords. Since Chambord had enough forces here, the safety of people like Torres and Oleg was secured. Even if something bad happened, Fei didn't have to worry.

Chapter 1031: Discovery in the Desert (Part Two)

                                                                               

The howling wind mixed with flying sand created a series of noises, and it sounded like G.o.ds and ghosts were crying. The visibility inside the [Metal Desert] was extremely low.

Even though Fei and others were powerful, they could only see what was within 500 meters of them.

Aside from the low visibility, it seemed like a strange force permeated all over the desert, vaguely suppressing everyone's strength.

Since visibility was low, and there were no clear signs, it was extremely easy to get lost.

This trip was filled with danger for sure!

For every 1,000 meters, Fei would leave an energy seal in the air to prevent himself from getting lost.

On the other side, under the protection of his powerful followers, Entus looked like a G.o.d who was walking in the mortal world. A soccer-shaped totem symbol would appear in the places where he stepped, emitting a faint light. These clear symbols also contained great presence, and their power radiated outward, pressing back against the invisible pressure in the desert.

With the protection of his followers, Entus led everyone toward the center of the [Metal Desert].

"We are already two kilometers in. Everyone, be careful! We might run into fierce beasts…"

Entus sure was a great fortune-teller.

Before he could finish speaking, a monster appeared before them.

This monster was more than ten meters tall, had red fish scales, and looked vicious. Its mouth was full of sharp teeth, and blood-like liquid filled its eyes. With its mouth open, a highly corrosive energy permeated the air, and it bit toward Entus without mercy.

One of Entus' followers who was from the Lion Clan punched out, and a metal-elemental warrior energy beam dashed out and shattered this terrifying monster's head.

Fei was slightly surprised.

Without a doubt, this monster was the fierce beast that Great Priest Nash talked about.

It was a species of extremely ugly monsters, and they were fierce and powerful. Their red skin allowed them to go into stealth in the [Metal Desert] since they could hide in the floating red sand, and they seemed to have the innate ability to hide their presences.

Fei only discovered this monster when it got close, and its destructive sharp claws and teeth could easily tear through the defenses of a peak Full Moon Elite.

However, this monster was still too weak in front of everyone here.

Fei didn't pay much attention before, but something mythical occurred when this giant fierce beast fell.

Fei's eyes opened wide, and he was shocked.

It was a huge surprise! He saw a streak of pure and mystical energy leaving the corpse of the fierce beast, and it floated into the air like an invisible bubble.

This energy was no different from the mystical energy that Fei got from the zombies and mutated demon beasts inside the former Anji Empire!

Fei also noticed that except for him, the other orc masters and even Pope Entus didn't notice this streak of mythical energy.

Fei tried to summon it.

In the next second, this streak of mythical energy dashed into Fei's body like a bird going back to its nest. Fei sensed a faint streak of warmth in his body, and it quickly merged into the strength of Fei's Barbarian character and fully integrated.

Chapter 1031: Discovery in the Desert (Part Three)

                                                                               

"I see…"

Fei sped up his pace and followed the orcs, and he didn't show anything on the surface. However, he had already started to think out of surprise.

"What is going on?"

"Are there connections between these red fierce beasts and zombies? Is that why they can all provide me with this type of mystical energy? More strangely, only I can 'see' and sense this type of energy, and only I can absorb them and make them my own."

"Why is this?"

"If it is because I'm a traveler from Earth, then Entus should be able to see them too since he is also from Earth."

"Or… am I different from everyone else, and I haven't discovered it yet?"

Fei couldn't understand why, so he temporarily buried all his questions and followed the orcs into the depths of the desert.

Along the way, the group was attacked by many fierce beasts. However, the strength of these people was too great; it was a one-sided ma.s.sacre. The group pushed forward without an issue, and Fei was able to absorb a lot of mythical energy.

During this process, Fei got to observe the appearance of the fierce beasts.

The king discovered that these red beasts had no intelligence, and they didn't even have the fear of death. Like the inferior product of the G.o.d of Creation, they had no set shapes or forms. They looked like dinosaurs, giant tigers, demon leopards, and even flattened playdough. More than 60 percent of the fierce beasts looked different.

Fei had no idea how these creatures were born; he vaguely felt like they weren't reproduced in nature.

They looked terrifying, vicious, and ugly.

The rare similarities between them were that they had blood-red fine scales and a layer of bone protection, and they devoured each other to evolve and get stronger, just like the zombies.

It seemed like these creatures were born to live in this desert in the air. The sand grains that could easily kill Seven-Star Warriors created a series of slapping noises when hitting these beasts, and it sounded like raindrops. .h.i.tting tree leaves. Instead of injuring them, the sand grains made them even more aggressive and murderous.

Deeper into the desert, the wind power and the damage of the sand grains both increased.

When the group was about 100 kilometers into the desert, the power of the sand grains could threaten the life of Moon-Cla.s.s Elites.

Also, the strength of the fierce beasts skyrocketed, and these beasts increased in number.

The team was facing more pressure. While the orcs had to use their warrior energy to block out the sand grains, they had to protect Pope Entus who was an 'ordinary person'.

The journey wasn't as easy as before.

"Let me lead the way!"

Fei thought for a moment and volunteered, walking in the front of the group.

Like what he discussed with Pope Entus, he was going to be well-liked by the orcs for doing this. In addition, the king could kill fierce beasts and increase his strength without hiding anything.

Ever since Fei discovered that these fierce beasts would provide him with mystical energy, he couldn't wait to kill all the fierce beasts that he could sense.

Boom!

Chapter 1031: Discovery in the Desert (Part Four)

                                                                             

Fei no longer held back his strength. With the violent strength of his Barbaric character, the king punched out with full force.

A golden light beam dashed out of his fist, piercing all tornadoes 1,000 meters in front of him and creating a tunnel where no sand grains existed. Hundreds of fierce beasts in front of Fei were turned into clouds of blood mist, and a ton of mythical energy rushed into his body.

Fei punched out again and again, and the path in front of the group was extremely easy to travel through.

With Fei using his full strength, the team's speed increased by many times.

The orc masters were all stunned, and they thought to themselves, "This human king seems to have reserved some strength in yesterday's matches. His current strength is comparable to that of a G.o.d! His energy is insane, and his strength is beyond insane!"

Fei's broad and open combat style fit the taste of orc masters, and these orc masters even wished that Fei could turn into an orc warrior.

After two more hours, Fei vaguely felt like the strength of his Barbarian character was about to increase by another level, almost reaching top-tier Demi-G.o.d Realm.

At this moment, Pope Entus who had been murmuring to himself spoke to everyone, "Guys, pay attention! Something strange is in front of us!"

Pope Entus' ability in forecasting trouble was showcased again.

As soon as he finished speaking, the ground started to shake.

About ten giant, human-shaped fierce beasts dashed out like flashes of lightning. They held s.h.i.+elds and spears that were condensed from the red sand grains, and magic runes and engravings blinked on them. While these fierce beasts roared and emitted destructive energy, they charged toward the group.

"Be careful! They are high-level human-shaped fierce beasts! They already grasped some magic spells…" Great Priest Nash shouted and warned Fei who was opening the way.

Surprising everyone, Fei roared and leaped into the air.

A ring of invisible energy radiated outward from Fei's body, and something shocking to the orc masters occurred. The s.h.i.+elds and spears in the huge, human-shaped fierce beasts' hands suddenly lost their magic power, and they turned back into sand grains and scattered in the wind.

Then, a huge war hammer appeared in Fei's hands.

The king flashed and struck out repeatedly, pa.s.sing all these fierce beasts.

Boom! Boom! Boom! A series of explosions sounded.

These high-level, human-shaped fierce beasts exploded from the inside as if someone planted bombs in their stomachs. Their red blood and bones scattered in all directions, and they turned into piles of b.l.o.o.d.y matter that released a stinky odor. Then, all those 'leftovers' were blown away into the desert.

"Such power!"

"He injected terrifying energy into the bodies of the fierce beasts, and the energy exploded on the inside, completely killing these giant beasts!"

"An invisible energy ring suddenly radiated outward from his body. What energy is that? How did it shatter the high-level, human-shaped fierce beasts' magic spells? Could it be…"

At this moment, Entus thought of something, and his pupils slightly contracted as if he discovered something unimaginable.
