Chapter 186 "Heart of the Stone Man" Discovering Intelligent Creatures
After encountering several desert scorpions.
Tang Zheng and the evil dog continued to move forward. The presence of living creatures at least meant that there was a probability of intelligent creatures appearing in this place.
As long as Tang Zheng can get some basic information, this trip to this place will not be in vain.
But it is too desolate.
The air is dry, and the temperature at noon can reach over 40 degrees. There is only sand and gravel.
Even for desert scorpions, Tang Zheng could only encounter one or two if he was lucky during half a day during his subsequent exploration. It seemed that even the most tenacious monsters found it extremely difficult to survive in this land.
in addition!
Tang Zheng also discovered a very fatal point, that is, so far, he has not found any water source in this desert-like Gobi.
From the time he came to this area until now, there have been almost no clouds in the sky and the sun has been shining brightly.
The reason why those desert scorpions are able to survive is most likely with the help of groundwater.
There are many spare water bags in Tang Zheng's prop box, so he doesn't need to worry about the water problem, even if all the water in the bags is used up.
There is also a "large jug of wine" obtained from the Lizardmen.
Seventh day into the Gobi Desert.
Tang Zheng brushed off the dust on his clothes. His throat felt a little dry. He picked up the water bag, took a few gulps, and passed it to the evil dog beside him.
“Ah~”
The evil dog was panting, sticking out its tongue, and quickly opened its mouth to use the water that flowed out of the water bag.
As a monster covered with thick hair and living in the forest, it is obviously not adapted to the desert environment before it.
"Thank you for your hard work. Keep searching." After Tang Zheng poured most of the water into the evil dog's mouth, he reached out and patted the dog's head.
"roar."
The evil dog licked the water stains at the corner of its mouth, nodded, then quickly shrank its body, turned into an eagle, and soared into the sky.
Tang Zheng put away the water bag, glanced around, walked to a half-man-high black rock not far away, raised his palm and gently pressed it on the black rock: "Magic mark."
Currently, every time he travels a certain distance, he leaves a magic mark on a nearby conspicuous stone to ensure that he will not get lost in this vast Gobi Desert.
He can also use this to determine the direction he is moving through perception.
Bang! Tang Zheng had just taken his hand off the black rock when he saw it vibrate, and then the ground centered on the black rock vibrated at the same time.
"This is."
Tang Zheng raised his eyes, jumped back with his legs, and left his previous position, keeping a distance of about six or seven meters from the black rock.
Bang! Bang! The sand piles around the black rock began to sink, driving the surrounding gravel to form quicksand, which continued to gather towards the center.
The black rock vibrated even more violently, as if some creature was suddenly awakened.
The black rock about half a meter high suddenly began to rise and change slightly, turning into a stone head. With a loud bang, an arm made of rock stretched out from the desert and slammed heavily on the sand. A rock giant with a black body and more than five meters tall crawled out from under the sand.
Boom! The rock giant had a blurry stone eye, looking down at the tiny Tang Zheng, and raised his thick rock arm to smash down at Tang Zheng.
“It’s actually a living thing.”
Tang Zheng showed a look of surprise and unexpectedness on his face. Facing the rock arm that was falling heavily on him, he stepped on his right foot and moved sideways to the left.
Bang! There was a loud noise, and a big hole was smashed in the sand.
"Charming all races!" Tang Zheng cast a spell. This was the first race of intelligent creatures he had seen since he came to this area.
This is not the northwest corner of the continent where humans live. Most of the continent is ruled by sub-humans and alien races.
Therefore, it is not surprising to see all kinds of strange races in this unknown area.
The wave of magic spread and flashed across the body of the rock giant!
Huh? Tang Zheng was stunned and jumped back again. The rock giant's other arm continued to smash down, making a roar.
"All Races Charm" actually has no effect! Racial characteristics? Some unique races do have the ability to be immune to mental effects.
"I'm sorry if I disturbed your sleep."
Tang Zheng dodged the attack of the somewhat manic rock giant, while trying to communicate with him: "Excuse me, where is this place? Can we have a good chat?"
Boom! Boom! The rock giant kept swinging his thick arms towards Tang Zheng, without any intention of speaking.
"Can't speak? Or is it not an intelligent race but just some kind of unique monster?" Tang Zheng saw that the other party not only couldn't speak, but also seemed to have no emotions. He couldn't help but frowned slightly.
Bang!
Seeing that his continuous attacks could not hit this annoying little creature that kept dodging back and forth, the rock giant retracted his raised arm and shrank his whole body.
It transformed into a large black stone rolling ball and rushed over fiercely.
The black stone ball rolled twice and rushed to Tang Zheng, exuding a terrifying momentum! "Since we can't communicate."
Facing the shadow that was already covering him, Tang Zheng had an iron sword appear in his hand. The moment the black stone ball came in front of him, he had already swung the iron sword to cut it out.
hiss--
A spark burst out at the moment the sword blade came into contact with the rock giant, and the originally terrifying impact speed suddenly dropped, and then it rolled behind Tang Zheng and stopped.
Tang Zheng stood there unscathed, and retracted the iron sword in his hand: "It's only around level 20, it's really just an empty body, but the hardness of the rock body is quite good."
"Experience gained: 3271"
[Experience slot: 11162/120000]
Boom!
With a "crack" sound, the giant boulder broke into two pieces behind Tang Zheng, and fell on the rocks on both sides with a roar.

Tang Zheng turned around and looked at the rock giant that had turned into rubble. There was no blood of a normal creature, only a broken body with the same structure as ordinary stone.
"What is this?" Tang Zheng saw that in the shattered body of the rock giant, there was something on the chest that was emitting and reflecting brown light.
Walk up and pick it up.
This is a fist-sized black stone that can clearly feel the fluctuations of magic power.
"Identification of props."
…
Item: Heart of the Stoneman Level: Intermediate (21-30)
Effect: Magical material containing earth energy, if placed underground, has a certain probability of re-birth of a rock giant.
Introduction: I'm not dead yet! ...
Tang Zheng took a look at the identification information and put it into the prop box. It was a fairly good material, which was an unexpected gain.
"We have to leave the 'magic mark' again."
Once the rock giant died, the magic mark on his body was destroyed in disguise, and he could only find another rock as a new mark.
call--
In the sky, the afterimage of the evil dog's transformation quickly returned from a distance, and Tang Zheng also noticed something at this time, and his eyes lit up.
now!
It is about five kilometers away from where Tang Zheng is.
A wooden cart was moving with some difficulty in the desert, with three figures dragging it in the front and two figures pushing it in the back.
These five figures were not tall, only about 1.5 meters in height, but their bodies were extremely strong, with well-developed and bulging muscles visible.
The wooden carts were piled high with various ores.
After driving for a distance, everyone stopped to take a breath.
"I wonder if the war in Oasis has ended yet."
"Haha, just relying on those losers who don't even have a few decent weapons?"
"Don't be ridiculous. This is not even a war. Those lowly and stupid people are worthy of living in an oasis."
"That's right, our real opponents are those bastards outside Shadow Valley. Rebuild our kingdom and take back everything that belongs to us!"
"Well, I have heard of ancient rumors..."
"Shut up!"
"You idiot, you actually believe such rumors."
“…………”
The voices of five figures were heard from time to time.
