Chapter 411: Sand Giant

Among the condensed dust, the sharp sound from earlier suddenly rang out again.

What Zhang Mu and the others didn’t expect was that from those dust clumps, small Rock Dragon Carps emerged and burrowed into the yellow sand on the ground.

Little did they know, this dust concealed many mutant creatures, emerging in large numbers and disappearing into the soil.

In a brief moment, hundreds of first-order Rock Dragon Carps emerged in just a few seconds.

As they looked at the ground with no traces left, everyone stared at each other in astonishment, trying to confirm if they were seeing things.

After verifying the recent events, everyone’s gaze fell on the yellow sand beside them.

It’s possible that those things are hiding nearby.

“What are they doing? Planning to ambush us? But the dust shows no sign of dispersing.”

Upon hearing Hachikuju’s confusion, Zhang Mu concentrated for a moment and then shook his head.

“It shouldn’t be like this, I sensed that the first-rank mutant beasts are hiding in a faraway place from us. If we want to make them attack, it shouldn’t be like now, scattered far away.”

Hachikuju pointed her huge axe towards the sandstone group that was floating in the air, and slowly said.

“Brother Zhang Mu, do you mean that the real danger is still there?”

“Brother Hachikuju, you should know that so far, none of the mutant beasts that have come out are second-rank.”

“Including the big guy we just encountered but didn’t meet?”

“Hmm, it should be hiding inside, preparing for something.”

It’s not that Zhang Mu didn’t want to use his mental power to explore the strange dust, but he couldn’t.

The earth-element and wind element entwined in the solidified dust were too mixed up, Zhang Mu’s second-rank mental power couldn’t penetrate at all.

Just as they were talking, something was thrown out from the motionless dust.

It still looks like a Rock Dragon Carp.

“Wait, was there one that didn’t come out just now?”

But this time, this Rock Dragon Carp was different from the one just now, it didn’t move when it fell to the ground.

Hachikuju looked closely and exclaimed in surprise.

“Isn’t this the second-rank pangolin that I just split the beast claws of before?”

Before everyone could ask, there were things rushing and arching under the yellow sand.

In a second, a large number of first-rank Rock Dragon Carps that had just hidden in the distance all emerged, leaping out of the ground one after another, tearing at the body of the second-rank female Rock Dragon Carp on the ground.

But it was clear that the second-rank Rock Dragon Carp had not died completely, its body was being torn apart while it struggled desperately.

The painful and sharp cries echoed through the vast wilderness, making Zhang Mu and the others shudder.

In the midst of the sandstorm, a sharper sound could be heard, as if roaring at something.

The female Rock Dragon Carp, upon hearing this sound, dared not make a noise or resist any longer. After ceasing to struggle for just half a second, this second-rank Rock Dragon Carp was devoured completely by its first-rank kin.

Subsequently, these Rock Dragon Carps glanced towards Zhang Mu and the others before diving back into the yellow sand.

Only faint purple-red bloodstains left on the sand marked the recent events.

At that moment, the Obsidian Beetle, which had been hiding in Yuan Rui’s arms, spoke slowly.

“There was a second-rank mutated beast in the sandstorm just now. It made that sound to instruct the one being eaten not to struggle. Since the injuries couldn’t be repaired, it didn’t want to waste resources.”

Zhang Mu suddenly realized what the male Rock Dragon Carp, a second-rank creature, had been doing.

He looked towards the spot where the sandstorm still lingered and spoke.

“My Obsidian Beetle can understand the language of beasts. According to it, the male mutated beast just now was using the earth-element-filled sand to try to heal the wounds inflicted by Brother Hachikuju on the female second-rank mutated beast.”

But because their huge claws were their most important body parts and couldn’t be repaired in an instant, they were completely abandoned and became food for these first-tier people.”

In addition, Hachikuju added some details, and when everyone looked at this huge condensed sand and dust, they gasped.

Especially the two women, Gesar said indignantly.

“This pangolin is too abnormal. It killed its own wife just because she had no value to use?”

Yuan Rui also agreed on the side, “Hachikuju big brother said that the males are twice as big as the females, it’s really shameless. It must have eaten something good, some good resources, and swallowed them all by itself.”

Just then, the long-time silent dust lump finally moved.

The yellow sand on the ground began to flow back to where the condensed lump was, as if replenishing something.

Finally, Zhang Mu and the others saw what it was doing.

With that huge condensed lump as the torso, the yellow sand on the ground was called over and in an instant formed feet, thighs, arms, and finally the neck and head.

A huge Sand Giant suddenly appeared in front of Zhang Mu and his friends!

“Roar!”

Amidst the wild sand flying around, a roar erupted from the Sand Giant’s mouth.

Then, it turned its head, looked towards Zhang Mu and the others, and rushed towards them with giant strides.

“Oh my, it’s so big!”

Hachikuju suddenly activated her awakening ability, grew to a height of 2.2 meters, wielded a huge axe and charged towards the Sand Giant. Uncle Peng also attacked from the side.

Even though Hachikuju had grown in size, facing the five-meter tall Sand Giant, she looked as small as a three-year-old child facing a grown man, creating a visually intense impact.

The moment the Sand Giant lunged towards them, Yuan Rui gathered the flame of his soul and blasted it towards the giant’s head.

This time, the soul flame, much faster than Hachikuju, directly hit the Sand Giant’s head. However, it seemed to have no effect at all and just passed through.

“The head is made of yellow sand, but the flame of the soul can’t be ignited. That guy should be hidden in a cluster of sand dust turned into a body.”

Upon hearing Zhang Mu’s voice, Yuan Rui immediately formed a second soul flame.

They didn’t rush directly this time, but were completely worn down by the fierce earth-element attacks from the still rotating sand clusters.

Yuan Rui’s abilities seem to have no effect on this Sand Giant.

“Alright, you stay here. There are still hundreds of Tier 1 beasts lurking nearby, your soul flame can cause huge damage to them.”

“What about you?”

A touch of coldness crossed Zhang Mu’s lips.

“This creature killed a human champion, we need to offer its entire group as sacrifice.”
