Chapter 434 Unlucky Chang’an (1/2)

”Taklamakan…”

The name caused anyone who knew what it was to make a face of despair.

Ever since the Cataclysm, locations such as the five great mountains and the famous Daze Mountain were occupied by powerful monsters. They were like the main demons in legends and folklore, and they could understand human language, while some of the more talented ones could even speak the human language. It was a celestial phenomenon.

Apart from the famous Daze Mountain, some places that were already famous for being weird and dangerous even before the Cataclysm became even worse.

Dangerous zones were called dangerous zones because people didn't know much about the things inside.

The characteristics of these places were that they often produced a unique natural environment that encapsulated the area. Moreover, dangerous monsters existed within them, and in situations where explored and known places hadn't been fully occupied yet, no one would go inside to provoke the dangerous beings within them because there was no need.

”This is troublesome. We aren't sure what's in the Taklamakan Desert. Even if we kill these lizards, if we don't deal with the root problem, things will just keep getting more troublesome,” someone complained.

”It's impossible for us to solve this problem by just relying on us, the Chang'an Base City…” added another person.

”That's right. What was the conclusion of the meeting with the Lord of the Dark Ember? Is it willing to become our ally?”

”Mayor, the Lord of the Dark Ember declined,” an assistant dutifully reported.

”I know.” The mayor, who was wearing a gray suit, sighed.

”What is this monkey thinking…? It helped us killed that lizard before, but now it's implying that it isn't willing to work with us. Unless…”

”Unless what?” asked the mayor.

”Unless it's just being prideful?” said someone else in a solemn tone.

The mayor paused.

Previously, Gao Peng had succeeded in passing the exam and obtaining the position of World Hunter at the branch of the Monster Trainer League in Yuzhou Base City.

One of the most important criteria in the World Hunter exam was strength. Only when one had the strength would one be able to survive longer in the wild. The second criteria was experience from living in the wild and one's knowledge in identifying different monsters.

The latter two points were no longer important to Gao Peng, because when one was too strong, one could easily dominate others, and survival experience didn't really matter anymore.

”Can't return to the Black Fog World in the short term. There's a King-tier monster plundering on the other side of the Spacial Rift in Lusaka. That place isn't too far away from the Desolate Labyrinth.” Gao Peng paused and continued, ”If we encounter the monster whose strength is unknown, it could get dangerous.”

”Monster.” The Desolate Frost Lion was stunned. ”What monster?”

”I don't know. There's no photo, but it's a giant black snake. It was disturbed and woken up from a deep slumber…” Gao Peng shook his head. If he'd had a photo, he would have been able to directly check the stats and attributes of the giant snake directly through the photo. However, whether it was an Emperor-tier or an Overlord-tier monster, they weren't beings that he could mess with at the moment. To be safe, it was better to slowly grow and wait until he could defeat that monster before heading to the Black Fog World.

This is definitely not cowardly. It's just mature and stable, keeping the big picture in mind.

”Waking up a monster from deep slumber?” The Desolate Frost Lion was shocked. Why are these people so gutsy? Even humans get up on the wrong side of the bed sometimes, not to mention a monster who's often subject to mood swings.

Oh, right, I'm also a really big lion who can be moody. It pouted cutely. Oh, oh. Gao Peng, try and hit my head if you have what it takes!

”But at most, this monster should only be at the Emperor tier or the peak of the Emperor tier. There's no way it's at the Overlord tier.” The Desolate Frost Lion was certain.

”You're that sure?” Gao Peng was a bit surprised.

”Heh, how dumb. How could there be another Overlord-tier monster sleeping so soundly so close to another Overlord-tier monster? Is it tired of living?” The Desolate Frost Lion laughed coldly.
