.................
At that moment, Chen Zhou happened to see the Python Tribe. From a distance, he immediately used his pupil technique to see the direction the Python Tribe was facing and immediately bypassed the Python Tribe to head north.
Under the scorching sun, a figure walked further and further away, accompanied only by footprints of roughly the same depth that slowly appeared behind him, lizards that occasionally emerged from the desert soil, and even a solitary mythical beast lurking in the distance.
This solitary spirit beast seemed to have been following Chen Zhou for a long time; it was also attracted by Chen Zhou's true energy.
The golden-white true energy, which shone even brighter under the sunlight, seemed to the spirit beast at this moment to be nothing more than gold, attracting humans.
He couldn't wait to catch up with Chen Zhou, knock him to the ground, or better yet, devour him.
In this way, wouldn't all that golden-white true energy, that alluring true energy, belong to oneself?
The spirit beast followed closely, trying to find an opportunity.
At this moment, Chen Zhou was unaware that a spirit beast was following him not far away.
The central desert is a harsh environment for humans, but for some spiritual beasts, it is a natural place for cultivation. It seems that the central desert was created just for them.
Their cultivation speed in the central desert far exceeds that in ordinary environments, making these spirit beasts a nightmare for many who traverse the central desert.
Because they are mostly solitary and incredibly powerful, a single spirit beast can rival three humans of the same level.
Their combat strength is formidable.
Many humans who crossed the central desert perished at the hands of these mythical beasts.
Moreover, most spirit beasts are particularly sensitive to true energy, which easily attracts them.
So people crossing the desert gradually found a way to conceal their true qi.
When traveling in the desert, one must conceal one's true energy to greatly reduce the likelihood of being attacked by such solitary spirit beasts.
This was Chen Zhou's first time traveling in the desert, and he was completely unaware of these rules. Moreover, no one had told him, not even Elder Ren, as Elder Ren rarely came here.
Even if they arrived, the hosts of Elder Ren were all powerful beings, and no spirit beast dared to provoke them.
Chen Zhou was different.
He was only at the late stage of Foundation Establishment, which was equivalent to a level four or five spirit beast. A level five spirit beast would have the strength to knock Chen Zhou to the ground.
However, this only ignores Chen Zhou's special methods. Chen Zhou also has another identity, which is that of an array master.
The spirit beast continued to follow Chen Zhou, patiently waiting for a better opportunity to strike. Each attack was a fatal blow, leaving the human no time to react.
It seemed that it vaguely heard past humans mention it and give it a nickname, "Desert Killer".
It hated such a nickname. As a spirit beast, it was irreconcilably opposed to humans. Why should humans give it a nickname? It was an insult to it. So, in a fit of rage, it instantly killed those people.
Their last words were still murmured as "Desert Killer," which enraged the monster even more, and it launched several more attacks.
Such incidents became much less frequent afterward, because those people lost their lives at its hands, and no one spread the nickname.
It was naturally quite satisfied. Now, when it hunts, it only needs to find something it likes before it will attack, such as the human with golden-white true energy in front of it.
It's been a long time since I've seen a human releasing their inner energy in the desert, but I never expected to encounter one today.
Moreover, this true energy is so attractive.
It was truly the most wonderful dinner in the world.
The spirit beast had already developed intelligence. It calculated the human's walking speed and concluded that he would definitely not be able to leave the desert before dark. It could simply wait until nightfall to make its move.
At that time, the probability of me striking with a single, decisive blow would be much higher.
It is said that humans are least alert at night.
It looks like I'll have to postpone my dinner tonight.
The spirit beast thought slowly, but it didn't matter. Such a delicious dinner, what's wrong with postponing it a little?
Can't I still enjoy such a delicious dinner?
Thinking of this, the spirit beast couldn't help but get excited; it had been a long time since it had tasted such a delicious dinner.
The hunt begins tonight.
Chen Zhou didn't know how long he had been walking; he only knew that the sun seemed to be setting soon.
The light shining on Chen Zhou now is much weaker and darker in color, no longer as bright as the sunlight during the day.
This is the kind of sun that's pleasing to the eye.
Chen Zhou happily thought to himself, then dissipated the aura above his head, as it was no longer needed. With the sun about to set, Chen Zhou did not stop walking.
Instead, he thought he should hurry a few more steps before the sun completely sets.
It would be difficult to travel at night, so Chen Zhou needed to get some sleep.
So Chen Zhou, while traveling, wondered if there was a suitable place to hide and take a nap in the desert. What Chen Zhou needed now was such a place.
To ensure he was safe enough to avoid being discovered by the python tribe, Chen Zhou now considered the danger in the central desert to come entirely from the python tribe, and had automatically ignored the threat from other spirit beasts in the central desert.
Because I haven't encountered any spirit beasts along the way!
Therefore, Chen Zhou subconsciously believed that the central desert was occupied by the python tribe, which is why other spirit beasts were rarely seen.
