Chapter 95: New Mission World: Deserts and Mysterious Creatures)
Mission 1: Help humans return to Earth (Representation Point: 50000)
Note: If the mission fails, you will always stay in the current world.
Presentation point: 8999
Countdown: 3000 days
Abilities: Ancient martial arts 100%, Overlord body 100%, Ape soul 100%, Zombie form 100%, Strength 12%, Dragon armor skill 7%
Ding Zheng only glanced at the two pieces of information he was most concerned about on the system panel, and then turned his attention back to the yellow sand around him.
"Helping humans return to Earth?"
"Has the earth gone wandering? Or...has mankind gone wandering?"
Ding Zheng was a little puzzled.
Compared with the previous missions, the style of this mission world is obviously a little different.
"If it was a mythical or fairy world, this kind of mission shouldn't happen, right? Moreover, humans were originally on the earth... but based on the current mission, it seems that humans are no longer here."
"It seems a bit sci-fi."
Ding Zheng guessed, while looking at the astronomical figure behind the mission reward.
50000!
"It's not easy to see 50,000 points, but the countdown is 3,000 days, which is eight years. It should be enough time."
"I can take this opportunity to practice hard. Maybe when I go back, I will have reached the third level of Dragon Armor Kung Fu."
"But it's a pity... there is no Jizo She to use. From now on, we must use the hegemonic body sparingly and never waste any energy."
Ksitigarbha relics are undoubtedly Ding Zheng’s largest and most stable source of energy.
Without this thing, the Overlord Body cannot exert its full effect.
But unfortunately, the one I redeemed before is still on Isla Nublar.
And now that it only has 8,999 manifestation points left, it is impossible to redeem it for Ksitigarbha relics worth 15,000.
But even without a hegemonic body, Ding Zheng's own strength is not weak at all.
And maybe we can find other energy sources in this mission world.
So, in the end, Ding Zheng wasn't too worried.
"First of all, we have to figure out where this place is."
Ding Zheng put away his thoughts and raised his head, looking at the endless desert around him.
After walking for a while, it sighed, opened its body and grew to a height of fifty meters, and continued to look around.
It is still an endless sea of sand.
"Has this reached the Sahara?" Ding Zheng was a little confused.
What makes it even more puzzled is that there is no green at all in this desert, and everything as far as the eye can see is yellow sand.
Not even the slightest breath of life.
It was like a dead land, and even Ding Zheng missed Banner a little.
"Roar!!!"
Ding Zheng thought for a while and couldn't think of any good solution, so he yelled.
The roar spread to an extremely long distance, and Ding Zheng could guarantee that as long as there was a living creature around him and he had hearing, he would definitely be able to hear it.
Even if it may bring danger, Ding Zheng doesn't care anymore at this moment.
It doesn't want to walk aimlessly in this desert.
But it's a pity.
It waited for a long time, but there was no response from anyone around it.
Unwilling to do so, Ding Zheng roared a few more times.
But the results are exactly the same.
Even if he was willing to take risks, Ding Zheng was not able to get more information.
There is only desert in front of me.
This place seems to have only yellow sand.
In desperation, Ding Zheng could only put away his body and continue to walk forward.
Although stupid, it is impossible to do nothing.
Later, Ding Zheng started running directly, and his speed was not slow at all.
It is not afraid of energy consumption.
Although the energy absorption and conversion efficiency of the Ksitigarbha relics in the meridians outside the body is extremely low, it undoubtedly allows Ding Zheng to avoid the need for any nutritional intake to a certain extent.
It's nothing to go without food for a long time.
Soon, the sky became dark.
it's dark.
The wind blew around, and even the yellow sand under my feet seemed to have lost all its heat in an instant.
The temperature starts to drop.
It's like going from hot summer to cold winter all at once.
If it weren't for Ding Zheng's thick skin, he might even have been frozen to death.
"Whether it's day or night, this climate is unbearable for humans to survive."
Ding Zheng walked in the yellow sand and cold wind, and couldn't help but think of his mission: "Is this the earth? But because of the deterioration of the environment, humans left the earth, and the sun evaporated all the water, turning the earth into a dead place.
star?"
Thinking of this, Ding Zheng opened his eyes in confusion: "If this is really the case, then how do I get humans to return to this place? No, where do I want to find humans?"
Ding Zheng stopped again, and there was still a piece of yellow sand in front of him.
The darkness could not prevent him from seeing clearly the scene in front of him.
"There is absolutely no way this is a desert on earth. At my speed, no matter how big the desert is, I have walked out of it. Both of them have walked out!"
"Is this really the earth after environmental degradation? In other words, the entire earth is like this now?"
"Then how to complete this task, plant trees..."
Ding Zheng looked up at the sky.
There are stars, a moon, and no clouds.
"No, I'm clearly breathing. If the earth is all desert, how can there still be oxygen?"
Ding Zheng felt a little confused.
It has never experienced anything like this before.
There was no one to talk to.
"Keep moving forward. I don't believe that this desert has no end... With my speed and ability, if this is the real earth, I can definitely walk a full circle."
Ding Zheng raised his head and discerned the direction from the stars. After determining a direction, he continued to move forward.
"It just so happens that this place is very suitable for understanding and mastering the power of the desert."
Ding Zheng smiled and set off again. He couldn't come up with a solution through random thinking. The only solution now was to keep moving forward.
The wind, sand and darkness could not stop Ding Zheng's footsteps.
It just continued to move forward step by step, feeling the power of the wind and sand as it walked.
If the understanding of the power of the desert can be half that of the power of the sea, the difficulty of Ding Zheng's actions in this place will be greatly reduced!
Even conversely, the sky full of yellow sand will become its assistance.
When it reached the back, it even closed its eyes, but its steps still moved forward firmly.
Ding Zheng can still maintain a sense of direction without looking.
Soon, the night passed, the sun rose at the end of the desert, and a ray of golden light hit Ding Zheng's eyelids.
It slowly opened its eyes and looked at the sun. It couldn't help but wrinkle its forehead. A trace of suspicion flashed in its eyes. It felt that the night in this place was much shorter than that in the main world!
"Is it an illusion?"
Ding Zheng secretly kept an eye on it, and then moved forward, but this time, he kept an eye on it.
That is to see whether the daytime this time is longer or shorter.
Soon, the sun set on the other side of the desert.
Night falls again!
Ding Zheng also opened his eyes again, with a flash of light: "Yes, the daytime in this place is also very short. Both day and night are nearly one-ninth shorter than on Earth."
"Is this really Earth?"
Ding Zheng became even more confused.
Logically speaking, the system should not throw it to a place that is completely irrelevant to the task.
If humans are not here, this is not the earth.
How does it accomplish its task?
It's impossible for it to fly into the universe.
But if this planet is really the Earth, then the information collected by Ding Zheng is completely inconsistent.
"If the environment deteriorates, it's impossible to shorten the day, right?"
Ding Zheng thought to himself.
But based on the information collected at this time, it really can't deduce anything more.
"I hate using my brain..."
Ding Zheng only felt a pain in his head.
A mess was left in the main world. Now BBK and Starscream are still sleeping on that strange planet, waiting for Ding Zheng to return.
I don’t know what’s going on with Isla Nublar.
Ding Zheng was already upset, but now that he encountered this situation, he felt even more troubled.
The evil fire rushed upwards!
"I practice so hard and am not afraid of hard work just to be able to solve everything with my strength!"
"Grass!"
Ding Zheng cursed angrily, raised his long arms, clenched his fists together, and smashed them to the ground!
tie……
A long vibrating sound reached Ding Zheng's ears, and there seemed to be some echo.
All in all, this sound is completely different from the serious sound of hitting the ground. Ding Zheng and King Kong have done this many times, and it is very convinced of its own experience!
The sound just now didn't sound like hammering on solid ground.
Instead, it came from the ground being hollowed out like a hammer hitting Isla Nublar.
"Is the ground empty?"
Ding Zheng's eyes widened in vain, and a guess emerged.
But before Ding Zheng could think about it, suddenly, an extremely subtle rustling sound reached Ding Zheng's ears again.
Ding Zheng immediately frowned!
At the same time, he turned around and squinted his eyes.
Underfoot!
After that, Ding Zheng kicked his legs and jumped up, like a tiger rushing towards its prey, swift, fierce, and extremely fast.
He crashed directly towards the place where the sound came from. In mid-air, his body directly completed the transformation and returned to the size of twenty meters. At the same time, the golden hair grew and instantly turned on the zombie form!
Although the sound is very small.
And it's very far.
But Ding Zheng firmly believed that he had captured it.
Moreover, this sound is very similar to the sound made by the moving skeleton lizards on Skull Island!
"There's something underground!"
Ding Zheng made a conclusion at that time and did not delay. After confirming the position, he took action directly.
puff!
Ding Zheng put his hands together. Although its nails were short, they were as hard as bones. The soft desert could not stop it.
Ding Zheng's huge body plunged into this piece of yellow sand like a diver.
Straight to the bottom!
After a while.
The thickness of the yellow sand was so amazing that it buried Ding Zheng's entire body in it.
Then everything calmed down again, as if nothing had happened.
After a while, Ding Zheng emerged from the yellow sand.
His hands were empty and his face was full of displeasure.
Considering that the other party may be a creature that has been living in the desert, its actions and reactions in the sand must be extremely fast.
So Ding Zheng's speed is already fast enough.
As soon as he heard the sound and determined his location, he launched an attack.
But he still managed to escape.
Not even a hair was caught.
Not to mention what the hell that thing is.
"It would be nice if the understanding of the power of the desert could be a little higher." Ding Zheng looked at the system panel and saw that the power of the desert was only a pitiful 9%.
Although it can make it less affected by the harsh environment of the desert.
But it is still extremely difficult to deal with the unknown desert creatures in this boundless desert.
"However, since the other party is so close to me, it means that it may not be a coincidence. The other party may know that I exist and follow me all the time."
"If that's the case, then if I'm here, or around here, that thing will definitely come back again!"
Ding Zheng decided to stay here and search carefully.
That thing was the only living thing it found after coming to this planet.
If possible, Ding Zheng would find it out no matter what.
Even if the other party is not specifically following Ding Zheng, since he was found here, there is a reason.
Either there is food here, or this is its territory.
If the other party really followed Ding Zheng here specifically as Ding Zheng suspected, it means that Ding Zheng has more opportunities to catch the other party!
Time passed slowly.
Ding Zheng has been searching around, memorizing this area and not leaving too far.
But that thing never appeared again.
soon.
It got dark again.
The hot and cold air currents that alternate between day and night cause howling winds, wrapping the yellow sand and blowing violently, making a huge noise.
Ding Zheng stopped searching, closed his eyes and sat down directly, carefully experiencing the power of the wind and sand.
Today's hunger has increased his thirst for the power of the desert.
At the same time, Ding Zheng has decided not to leave this area for at least three days. It is better to take advantage of the wind and sand at night to spend his time on understanding and cultivation.
The yellow sand in the sky hit Ding Zheng, and the biting cold wind enveloped his entire body.
At this time, everything on this planet showed pure silence.
But Ding Zheng held his breath and allowed his emotions and state of mind to slowly calm down.
I already vented once during the day.
And there was an unexpected gain that proved everything was not that bad.
Ding Zheng also knew that the more he was in this situation, the more he had to keep a calm mind.
It must not be easily consumed internally.
Time passes slowly.
After the rapid growth at the beginning, the wind and sand gradually stabilized.
Ding Zheng's entire body has been buried in yellow sand.
But it didn't seem to notice anything and still sat there quietly.
at this time.
Suddenly, Ding Zheng's ears twitched slightly.
rustle……
It also captures the sounds of movement within the sand during the day.
Swish... swish... swish...
It was intermittent, with no rules and rhythm, but it never stopped.
And it is slowly getting bigger and bigger.
This shows that the thing that escaped from Ding Zheng during the day has appeared again, and is still moving towards Ding Zheng.
At the same time, in order to prevent being discovered.
Every time he moves, he will stop for a while to observe Ding Zheng's movements.
Ding Zheng controlled his heartbeat to remain at its original rhythm, and continued to sit there as if nothing had happened.
It's just that my ears have been focusing on catching the movement of that thing.
Finally, after two hours passed.
The voice came to the ground next to Ding Zheng and stopped just below where Ding Zheng's right hand was!
Ding Zheng suddenly opened his eyes, his body changed rapidly, and all of his zombie forms were activated, turning into a fifty-meter-tall behemoth in the blink of an eye.
At the same time, its huge right hand has already been inserted into the desert. If it is a huge net, everything within a range of more than ten meters below it will be tightly grasped in the palm of its hand!
Swish, swish, swish...
Feeling the movement coming from his hands and heart, Ding Zheng opened his eyes and laughed out loud.
At this moment, a red light lit up at the edge of the desert.
The sun is out again.
Ding Zheng controlled it carefully, and when all the gravel in his palm had flowed away, leaving only that thing, he finally opened his palm with confidence!
