Chapter 437 One Single Punch (1/2)

Overlooking from 16,000 feet above the ground, they saw a huge desert spanning across the earth with smoke signals rising to the sky. The yellow desert looked like a giant dragon laying flat on the ground. At the end of their sights, light yellow dust was rapidly rising from the desert.

”No.” Gao Peng looked at the desert underneath his feet. However, he sighed in relief after failing to detect any attributes there. This would have made his plan tougher.

At least the Taklamakan Desert hadn't mutated into a monster. However, it would definitely require great effort to find out what was causing all this in such a big desert, which for sure couldn't be done within ten days or even half a year.

Looking down from the sky, the edge of the desert was like lake water during high tide, penetrating outwards slowly and soaking the sand, then engulfing it completely.

”The desert isn't moving… It's devouring,” said Gao Peng. ”Taklamakan is devouring the soil from the outside world to make itself stronger.”

It was hard to believe that this was being done by Taklamakan. It was engulfing the surrounding soil and eroding it into small grains to continue adding to its volume.

The thick dunes were like rolling hills on the back of a giant monster. Its size was gigantic.

”The typical dunes wouldn't be at this height.” Gao Peng furrowed his eyebrows when he saw the height of the pyramidal dunes in the desert, which were almost a few hundred feet high. Moreover, such pyramidal dunes of this height could be found anywhere there.

”If we fail to stop it, ten years from now, they would be reaching Chang'an City and swallowing up the entire city.” Grandpa was frowning with tension in his eyes.

”White Dragon!” Grandpa shouted out loud.

The White Dragon was hanging its head, then slightly pressed on its dragon claws. The next moment, the entire sky was shrouded by dark clouds, and the desert rustled under a strong wind.

Bang.

With a heavy sound, rich dark purple lightning splashed out from the dark cloud above their heads. Thunder and lightning raged in the sky, followed by a flash of purple lightning sweeping across the sky.

The White Dragon cried into the air and trembled the entire sky, which was overcast with dark clouds. Along with its shocking cries, groups of dark clouds were broken through by an earth-shatteringly huge dragon claw.

Poof—

The surrounding air sounded like it was being torn apart.

Bang!!

The dunes were splashing with numerous waves of sand, and the endless sand waves were lifted up layer by layer, eventually sputtering out in all directions.

A shockingly powerful boom of thunder rose from the center of the desert. Countless overlapping sand shadows were teeming with the remains of the thunder arc and dark clouds inside. The wind had blown away the dust, and the sky had transformed into a sunny day again.

A giant pit that was hundreds of yards deep was left at the center of the desert. The smell of thunder and water vapor was left in the air. There was also a deathly stillness in the air. Apart from the ear-splitting noise, there was only the subtle sound of sand slowly filling up the sand pit.

Finally, Gao Peng had realized that something had gone wrong. It was strange because there was no monster appearing in the vast desert of Taklamakan. On paper, there must have been living creatures in the desert, even if it was an impoverished land.

The Treasure Sniffing Rodent suddenly stood up while grabbing onto the mane of the White Dragon with its two tiny claws. It then popped out its head and stared down while yelling, ”There's treasure.”

It might have jumped off the White Dragon's back if it hadn't been too high. However, it still appeared to be extremely excited while waving its claws continuously.

”This should be its hyperactive state.” Da Zi nodded its head while making this assumption.

”White Dragon. Was there any discovery?” Ji Hanwu asked in a low voice.

The White Dragon, which was flying through the sky, looked at the desert in confusion. As soon as it came up with an idea, massive water droplets started to condense in the sky and turned into a giant blue net in a flash of an eye.

The giant net suddenly shook. The next second, it already covered half of the center of the desert. The moment the water net touched the desert, it instantly dissipated into an ocean of water droplets and eventually permeated into the bottom of the dunes.

Through its perception towards the water droplets, the White Dragon could smell the things underneath its feet.

The White Dragon suddenly opened its eyes. It was there—

”Found it!” The White Dragon spoke from its throat in a low and fierce voice. It showed a fierce look in its eyes, and the next moment, it turned into a white shadow and charged down.

Bang—
