Azure green sky, golden desert…
A towering giant was walking at a steady pace. Each step it took was enough to raze a sand dune to the ground, knocking the sand into the air.
The giant's head reached the sky while its feet stood on the sand. It was like a moving mountain. The savage hordes of scorpions and snakes residing in the desert immediately backed off when they saw the enormous trespasser...
The Wild Snake Scorpions were the scariest demon creature in the Taklamakan Desert. Their average strength was around the Warrior-level, and deeper into the desert were lots of Commander-level Deadly Plague Snake Scorpions. If one were to describe the most mysterious and dangerous place full of treasure in China, the Taklamakan Desert was definitely one of them. Every year, a dozen or more foreign Magicians would die here. The survival rate was exceedingly low!
The place was infamous because of how dangerous it was, yet many people still came to try their luck. After all, the place was called the Golden Desert. The risks were high, but the potential rewards were high, too!
However, the Taklamakan Desert now had an uninvited guest. Its enormous figure, as huge as a mountain, made the Snake Scorpion Horde tremble in fear. None of the creatures dared to show any resistance when their precious territory was invaded...
The packs of Wild Snake Scorpions immediately withdrew, yet a horde had powerful existences, too.
As the Mountain Zombie ventured deeper into the territory of the Wild Snake Scorpions, over ten Deadly Plague Snake Scorpions appeared on a sandy hill, each over fifty meters tall and thoroughly pitch-black. Their tails and pincers were bright red, implying that they were stained with a deadly poison...
A Deadly Plague Snake Scorpion was enough to take up an entire sand dune. Its body almost caused the sand dune to collapse under its weight. The desert wolves running away nearby were like little worms.
More than ten of the same Commander-level creatures had appeared. They were crowding around something in a strange arc.
Suddenly, four other sand dunes at the center of the group shook vigorously as they rose up.
The sand dunes rose slowly. It turned out that there was an enormous creature three times the size of a Deadly Plague Snake Scorpion under the sand dunes. The sand dunes slowly turned into a sandstorm as they reached a certain height, pouring down along the creature's shiny, pitch-black body.
Eight sharp and long scorpion legs poked into the sand. The distance between its front limbs and rear limbs was greater than the length of a soccer field!
Its arms wielded a pair of terrifying pincers. Even the slightest cut could snap a sandhill in half!
The thing surrounded by the Deadly Plague Snake Scorpions was obviously the ruler of the desert. It had been many years since any creature dared to challenge its authority. Most of the white bones buried under the desert were its masterpiece!
Hell Scorpion!
It was the infamous Hell Scorpion!
And now, the Hell Scorpion was being threatened. It had brought its Commanders along to surround the invader.
The invader's size was shocking. The Hell Scorpion was already huge, yet it was still a lot smaller than the mountain-like zombie!
The Hell Scorpion let out a furious roar at the invader, telling the creature that it had trespassed into its territory.
