The ice did not appear as expected. The result of the attack was that it was easily dispersed by Zhang Yang. Only then did the head of the stone-talon finally appeared.
It had a shiny marinated egg head and a pair of big eyes that were five to six meters wide.
This stone-talon was the young man’s body stone pitch. Adding the tentacles, it was more than 30 meters long.
The tentacle alone took up two-thirds of the distance between the stones.
“Make sure you understand the situation before making your move.”
Zhang Yang came to Zhang Xue’er’s side and gave this sister a flick to the head.
“Oh! I was just worried about you, big brother.”
Zhang Xue’er rubbed her head aggrievedly.
“Let me introduce you. This is our second family member, Chuan, the young stone-talon.”
Zhang Yang introduced Chuan’s identity, name, and race.
“Shiji?! Shouldn’t that be in the sea over in Japan?”
Zhang Xue’er’s face was full of question marks. With the help of the cheat, she quickly learned about the creature known as Shiji.
It was a monster that lived in the sea of a country called Japan.
“I’m also very confused about this.” Zhang Yang looked at Chuan, waiting for his own explanation.
Seeing Zhang Yang looking at him, Chuan hurriedly explained his background.
He was originally an ordinary stone-talon living in the coastal waters of Japan.
However, there was an accident in the sea at that time. He was captured by humans not long after he was born.
It was worth mentioning that even though stone-talons grew big, the baby he gave birth to was only the size of a human baby.
Additionally, he could only give birth to one child at a time.
Chuan, who was separated from his mother, could not help but to be captured by humans.
In order to protect himself, Chuan wrapped himself up, but it was just a cover-up.
The group of human ships brought him ashore to be sold, and he was finally chosen by a sect.
That was right. He was chosen by the Heavenly Gate sect. He was supposed to be placed in the coastal area.
In the end, they passed through the Yellow Wind Desert during the transportation.
As they encountered a death storm that was rarely seen in a hundred years, all the humans panicked. However, Chuan, who was in the box, was protected well.
In the end, the sandstorm swept him up into the sky. When Chuan woke up again, he appeared here.
The box was also smashed, and Chuan took the opportunity to dive into the lake. He stayed there for 50 years.
After fifty years of change, he finally transformed into the shape of a young man.
“Isn’t this story too fantastic?”
Zhang Xue’er, who was listening from the side, curled her lips. It had indeed drifted all the way from the waters of Japan to here.
Zhang Yang was also a little surprised. He did not expect Chuan’s experience to be that rough.
However, hearing this, Zhang Yang felt that he was also a magical beast with a talent for luck as he could even survive this.
That group of human cultivators had probably became skeletons in the desert.
Although this was near the main peak of the Heavenly Gate sect, it was also a forbidden area for living beings. The disciples of the Immortal Mountains were not allowed to enter this place without permission.
“No wonder I didn’t see a single demonic beast in such a large desert forest. You definitely scared them away.”
Zhang Yang chuckled.
“I know, master. I haven’t eaten anything for half a month. I could only catch some small shrimps in the water to satisfy my hunger.”
Chuan was simply too hungry. Otherwise, he would not have set his sights on Zhang Yang, a human cultivator.
There were many creatures in the desert forest, but the average weight was only about 20 kilograms. For a big guy like Chuan, that was not enough to eat.
If it were in the deep sea, the food in the rocky abyss would be whales.
“Since you’ve been here for 50 years, you should know what kind of races are around here, right?” Zhang Yang asked.
Now, Zhang Yang could roughly guess why Li Zhe asked him to come here. It should have something to do with the Desert Palace.
In order to find out what the Desert Palace was, Zhang Yang had to ask the natives here.
“The races nearby…” Chuan blinked and said, “Actually, I’m not sure. I only know that I’ve eaten horned lizards, sand dune raiders, and rotten bones.
“Oh right, I’ve also seen the desert witch, but she ran too fast, so I couldn’t eat her.”
Chuan recalled what he had seen and heard in the past fifty years.
“I didn’t expect to see the desert witch here.” Zhang Yang’s eyes lit up.
The desert witch was one of the rarer monsters, and the place where she appeared most was the desert.
They did not move in groups, but alone.
When necessary, they would make a special cry, and they could call their companions around them.
They were a kind of elemental monster, and they knew how to use the earth control technique. The powerful desert witch could also use the soul control technique. The horned lizard was a type of magical beast that was commonly seen in the desert. It did not have much intelligence and was similar to an ordinary large lizard.
The sand dune raider was a magical beast that hid in the sand. Usually, it would hide in the sand to attack its prey.
The rotten bones were not the creatures that originally existed in the desert.
They were all transformed from the bones of dead magical beasts. In the desert, they were called the rotten bones of the desert.
In the forest, they were called the rotten bones of the forest. In any case, it depended on where they died.
The formation of the rotten bones had to be transformed by the soul control technique.
Therefore, Zhang Yang suspected that the desert witch here had used the soul control technique to transform some of the rotten bones.
“By the way, do you know about the desert palace?” Zhang Yang suddenly asked.
“Desert Palace?” Chuan shook his head and said, “I’m sorry, great master, I have never heard of this thing.”
“Never heard of it?”
Zhang Yang frowned slightly. Chuan had never heard of this Desert Palace before.
However, Zhang Yang was sure that there was definitely a palace in the Yellow Wind Desert. His memories would not lie to him.
Most importantly, in his memories, Zhang Yang did not find any records about the Desert Palace.
“What should I do next?”
Zhang Xue’er looked around at the desolate desert and did not know where to start her cultivation.
“I want some family members. Chuan, I’ll leave this one to you,” Zhang Yang said.
