Chapter 5: The Desert King's Domain
The vast Tager Desert stretched endlessly before Lin Xuan, golden sands shimmering under the scorching sun.
He had been traveling for several days, steadily advancing toward the Snake-People's territory.
With his Golden Dragon Sovereign Physique, he was barely affected by the intense heat, his body naturally adapting to the harsh environment.
However, the desert was dangerous for more than just its heat.
Bandits. Magical Beasts. And of course… the Snake-People.
Lin Xuan smirked.
"Perfect. I need some real combat experience before facing Medusa."
As Lin Xuan walked, a powerful presence approached.
Rustle. Rustle.
The sand shifted unnaturally, and suddenly—a pack of Sandstorm Wolves emerged from the dunes.
Their sharp fangs and glowing eyes locked onto Lin Xuan, their hunger evident.
The Alpha Wolf, a Rank 1 Magical Beast, let out a growl before lunging at Lin Xuan's throat.
But Lin Xuan… didn't dodge.
Instead, he stepped forward and threw a punch.
"Sky Tyrant Dragon Fist!"
BOOM!
A golden explosion erupted as Lin Xuan's fist collided with the wolf's head. The beast was instantly obliterated, its body flung several meters away.
The rest of the pack froze, their instincts screaming at them to flee.
Lin Xuan exhaled slowly, his eyes gleaming.
"That was too easy."
After dealing with the wolves, Lin Xuan continued his journey, but soon… he was no longer alone.
Hiss…
A faint sound echoed across the dunes.
Lin Xuan narrowed his eyes. "They finally found me."
From the sand, several Snake-People warriors emerged, their serpent tails slithering over the hot desert ground.
Their leader, a tall female warrior with purple scales and a golden spear, pointed her weapon at him.
"Human! You dare step into our territory? Kneel, and we may spare your life!"
Lin Xuan chuckled. "Spare my life? You should be worrying about your own."
The Snake-People warriors hissed in rage and charged.
Lin Xuan's golden Dou Qi surged.
It was time to test his strength against real opponents.
