Chapter 760: The Creature That Bears Holy Light

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

A lone luminescent dandelion brushed by the tent, carried by the gentle breeze . Han Sen initially thought it was some special sort of creature that had drawn near, and although it wasn't, he still eyed it with a modicum of concern .

It was a surprise to see the bevy of lights as little more than flowers, and it was a most curious phenomenon . When they had pitched the tent that evening, none of the flowers were around .

Now, across every portion of the Black Desert that was visible, dandelions sprouted . They were endless, and their pretty lights spread out in each direction like a galaxy of stars .

When the wind blew, the galaxy moved . It was a beautiful sight to behold .

Zhou Yumei, who had managed to regain her composure, moved nearer to Han Sen . After taking a peek at what had taken hold of his attention, her eyes opened wide like the stars themselves . It was fortunate Han Sen had placed his hand on her mouth; had he not, she would have screamed in awe of its beauty .

Many of the flowers were afloat, and skated by the tent as they went . From afar, that little tent must have looked like a shining castle .

But the plants weren't aggressive, and no harm was delivered to their little camp .

Zhou Yumei tried to pull Han Sen's hand away from her mouth, but he had a firm grip . Just as she was about to lose her temper, she heard a noise in the distance .

It was like the sound of a heavy animal's footstep . In between each step was a momentary silence, and its rhythm maintained this pace slowly . But ever so slightly, the sound seemed to be getting louder, and its source closer .

Han Sen looked further into the distance and saw, beneath the night sky, a creature coming towards them . It shined like a beacon of holy light . It walked alongside the dandelions that were below and afloat, like a glorious ship through the net of starssoaring through the galaxy .

Zhou Yumei could see the luminous creature now, as well . She was surprised to see it was a white rhino . Its body was shaped like a little hill, and with every step it made, the ground of the desert shook . The glowing dandelions that were to be trodden underfoot jumped into the air as if to guide its path .

The rhino was getting closer, and this frightened Zhou Yumei . Right now, all she wanted to do was get up and run . As pretty as it looked, the rhino was a hulking beast . Its heavy, looming presence was intimidating, and it robbed her of breath .

Han Sen's hand was still on her mouth to prevent a sound, but he now used his other hand to control and calm her . His eyes were still in profound observation of the glowing rhino .

It wasn't long before the rhino had come directly before the tent . Like grand pillars, its thick legs were pulled up and released . The entire tent was now in the shadow of the beast, and Zhou Yumei knew it . Her eyes were wide open with fright, and her body trembled under the fear .

If a foot came down on the tent, they would be squished into jelly .

The silver fox and Little Orange snuggled together in the corner of the tent, quiet as mice . They too were terrified of the white rhino that had drawn near .

Boom!

A foot came down like a piston on the sand directly behind Han Sen's tent, avoiding them . The luminous dandelions continued their spiralling as the campsite vibrated with the force .

Boom! Boom!

The rhino did not decelerate, and it continued in the direction it had been going . The four pillars crossed over the tent, missing the guy ropes by inches . The craters left behind by the creature's feet now decorated the campgrounds . Zhou Yumei's heart almost leapt out of her chest .

Fortunately, the white rhino did not pay heed to the presence of a tent as it went onwards . Along with the gorgeous, luminescent dandelions, it slowly trailed off out of sight behind them .

When the white rhino was gone from their vision, the presence of the glowing dandelions dimmed, too . They quit shining and melted into the desert like snowfall . Not a trace of them was left behind .

If it wasn't for the footsteps that the rhino left behind, you would have believed the entire affair to be little more than a dream .

Zhou Yumei, who had been trembling through the entire ordeal, finally relaxed . She patted her chest, trying to shake the terrifying visions she had of been crushed underfoot by the big rhino . Luckily, none of her fears had come to pass .

"Are you going to sleep like this?" Han Sen smiled at Zhou Yumei .

Zhou Yumei only now realized she had been leaning on Han Sen the entire time . She was mad and embarrassed at the revelation, so she pushed him away . Gritting her teeth, she hissed, "When I don't say anything, you get all touchy . You just want to take advantage of me . "

Han Sen smiled but did not reply . He returned to his sleeping bag, deep in thought over what had just occurred with the white rhino .

During the daytime, they encountered the black-flame phoenix, and now they had been witnesses to the existence of a white rhino that glowed with a holy light . Both of these creatures had been traveling in the direction Han Sen had picked . He wondered if something awaited them where they were headed .

In a place such as the Black Desert, Han Sen did not want to get himself into any form of trouble . With such fearsome monsters around, although he was sure of their abilities to escape, he couldn't risk losing his reserves of food and water . If that happened, there was every chance they might perish somewhere amidst the dunes .

But if they changed course now, Han Sen wasn't entirely sure whether or not they could exit the Black Desert that way, either . It would also not lead him to his final destination, so he was reluctant .

Han Sen thought about this predicament for a while, but ultimately decided to continue in their current direction . He didn't know if he could leave the Black Desert if he changed direction now . Furthermore, he believed his encounter with those two creatures was nothing out of the ordinary and was to be expected in such a volatile location . If there was some significance behind it, then he would at least have the opportunity to check out the reason why .

The next day, Han Sen continued in the same direction atop his Golden Roarer . On the way, he was able to trace the footsteps that the rhino had left behind . It looked to be going in a straight line, without a single misstep or stray .

The luminous dandelions, however, he could not see . It was as if they never existed .

They walked for half the day, but the heat was atrocious . Zhou Yumei drank some water while she rode atop her Little Orange . As she took a swig, she said, "It's so hot! Wouldn't it be great if it rained?"

Not long after she said that, the skies went dark . Terrible clouds formed not too far above them, blotting out the sun .

*Downpour Sound*

The drunk clouds let loose their spiteful tears, and utterly drenched Zhou Yumei . She quickly summoned an armor to withstand the rain, but after its summoning, the rainclouds immediately dispersed . The skies cleared and the weather returned to its sweltering glory .

"My wishes are short-lived . " Zhou Yumei was not entirely sure how to respond to what had just happened .

Han Sen's face, on the other hand, looked dire . When the rain clouds went past, Han Sen felt the presence of a supremely powerful lifeforce . He didn't get the chance to see what it was, but he could tell it wasn't something natural .

What made Han Sen frown the most, however, was the fact that those rain clouds had formed and drifted off in the direction he and Zhou Yumei were also headed .

"What is going on in this place?" Han Sen squinted his eyes, attempting to discern more of what might lay on the horizon . But there was nothing . For a while yet, it seemed only the black desert sands and blue skies would continue to lead their travel .
