Chapter 38: Killing the Wind Rhinoceros Condor

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

As Zhao Xiang opened her eyes again in despair, a figure with his left arm raised high appeared in front of her.

Fang Xuan panted heavily. It was fortunate that he had the help of the ants to devour the attack just now. Otherwise, at the very least, the Fire Thunder Spike would have turned into a pile of scrap metal.

Only then did the Wind Rhinoceros Condor notice this inconspicuous man in front of it. It seemed to be in disbelief that its attack was so easily blocked.

The former confronted the Wind Rhinoceros Condor from afar. His plans kept changing. In the end, he could only come up with a solution: He had to wait for an opportunity to take the small yellow pill Lan Yu gave him and let the ant fly into the sky. Otherwise, the other party would have the advantage of speed and flying at the same time. It would be very troublesome to deal with.

At this moment, the Wind Rhinoceros Condor moved again. Just like before, its huge iron claws charged straight at Fang Xuan.

However, the former’s attack was too fast. Even if he activated his Eye of Reconnaissance, he could only barely dodge it.

However, it was this attack that completely destroyed the Wind Rhinoceros Condor.

The ant had already flown along the iron claw to the Wind Rhinoceros Condor’s body. The former suddenly trembled a little, then fell to the ground like a kite with a broken string. Blood flowed from its chest, and it looked like it was not going to live.

The surrounding gale gradually died down, and the entire desert gradually returned to calm.

It was the ruler here. Now that this Wind Rhinoceros Condor was about to die, the storm would naturally calm down.

Seeing this, Zhao Xiang and Chen Xiang sat on the ground and panted heavily.

Fang Xuan hurriedly ran over to check on their injuries. Fortunately, they were fine. At most, they had superficial wounds.

Chen Xiang gave Fang Xuan a big thumbs up.

“I didn’t believe Zhao Xiang when he said that you were very strong. I didn’t expect the newbies nowadays to be this insane. I’m impressed.”

“Hehe, I was playing some tricks. Can’t even compare to the two senior sisters.”

The two of them rested for a while before Chen Xiang left the desert with the map. Zhao Xiang insisted on going to Lousha City with him, but the latter could not persuade her and had to agree.

Originally, Zhao Xiang had urged Chen Xiang to go with them, but the latter insisted on returning to the academy with the excuse that the desert was too dangerous and dark. Before she left, she gave Zhao Xiang a meaningful look, which made her blush.

The sandstorm had completely subsided, and the full view of the desert was exposed to the two of them. They no longer needed a map before the next Wind Rhinoceros Condor respawned.

Fang Xuan led the way and soon, a magnificent wall appeared in their field of vision.

Lousha City was extremely large, especially since the walls outside needed to withstand the sandstorm at all times. The buildings were bound to be even more gorgeous. From afar, it looked like a steel fortress. This was also the reason why Chen Xiang took the map with ease.

At this moment, the city gate was wide open. From time to time, people in robes would enter and leave.

The guards on both sides did not say anything when they saw Fang Xuan and Zhao Xiang’s inland clothes. The two of them entered the inner part of Shalou City.

Entering the city was a completely different world. Most of the residents were dressed in loose robes. There were very few people like Fang Xuan and Zhao Xiang who were dressed in plain clothes. They walked and stopped before arriving at a market.

This market looked like a black market. Everything could be seen here and there. There were even familiars locked in special cages.

The two of them bought a few rare ingredients and food from the inland. They came quite freely.

“Sir, take a look. The new exit, the Horn of the Sea, only costs 500 gold coins!”

‘Oh?’

Fang Xuan’s gaze was attracted by the shout. This was the desert, and water-attributed familiars were extremely rare. How could they only be sold for 500 gold coins? Even the Horn of the Sea bought for Ning Lanqing in the market of Izumo City was worth nearly five figures.

He leaned over and secretly activated his perception ability to carefully sense the Horn of the Sea in front of him.

“Hehe, look at your attire. You’re a boss from the mainland, right? You have good taste indeed. I obtained this Horn of the Sea after going through a lot of hardships in the North Sea. Capturing water-type familiars has a miraculous effect. It’s the lowest discount!”

Fang Xuan sneered.

“The horn is not bad, but the attributes of this horn are not related to water at all. You plucked it from your old bull and processed it, right?”

Zhao Xiang, who had just finished shopping, heard the conversation and came over with two small bottles of medicine. She looked curiously at the Horn of the Sea on the ground.

The stall owner was clearly flustered. “Boss, what are you talking about? It’s not easy for our small business. Don’t slander us.”

As he spoke, he flashed the dagger in his arms, as if warning Fang Xuan not to meddle in other people’s business.

The latter smiled and shook his head. He did not explain further and left the stall.

“You’re just going to let this liar go?”

Fang Xuan turned to look at Zhao Xiang in surprise. “I didn’t expect you to have such a sense of justice. In normal markets and black markets, there will be law enforcers who maintain discipline. Someone will deal with him. It’s not bad for us to be good five-star citizens who are good at reporting.”

Zhao Xiang was about to say something when a figure in a black robe rushed over with a cloth bag in his hand.

“Damn it, catch the thief!”

A brawny man chased after the thief relentlessly. However, the former’s speed was extremely fast as if his feet had been smeared with oil. In a short while, he arrived in front of Fang Xuan.

He stretched out his leg and the black-robed man immediately fell to the ground. However, that person reacted extremely quickly and took out a dagger to stab Fang Xuan’s face.

Several exclamations immediately sounded.

There was a flash of lightning and the dagger fell to the ground. The black-robed man covered his hand in pain and was pressed to the ground by the brawny man the next moment. The brawny man’s companions ran up and surrounded him.

“Bastard, run! Let’s see where you can run to.”

The brawny man put away the cloth bag and turned around to give Fang Xuan a bright smile.

“Hehe, thank you, brother. I’m here to look after the place. You can call me Da Zhuang. This kid stole in broad daylight in front of me. If it weren’t for you, I would have lost my job today.”

Fang Xuan casually replied and pointed out the location of the swindler. The former hurriedly took out something from his Spatial Ring and handed it to Fang Xuan.

“This precious thing doesn’t suck human blood. Treat it as a gift to you.” After saying that, the brawny man quickly left, leaving behind a dumbfounded Fang Xuan.

He stood still and took a look. The brawny man had actually handed him a mosquito.

That’s right, it was just a mosquito. He couldn’t sense any attribute aura from it. He didn’t know why it was given to Fang Xuan.

Zhao Xiang burst out laughing.

“Is there something wrong with this person’s brain? How can he treat a mosquito as a familiar? Moreover, it’s a mosquito that can’t be detected at all. I think he casually caught it from home.”

Fang Xuan felt a little awkward for a moment, but he still accepted it.

After all, it was a token of appreciation from the other party. He could consider it as bringing back a specialty of Sand City.
