Chapter 785: Entering the Desert

Zhou Huai weighed the purple-red glowing epic-grade battleaxe in his hand, a sight that directly amused him.

"The skill mechanism of Universe Reversal is truly unreasonably domineering," Zhou Huai smiled. "It forcibly crosses spatial distances of dozens of kilometers, ignoring any physical blocks to retrieve items from thin air directly."

He turned his head to look at the elegant and calm silver-haired mage Victor beside him and nodded.

If he had possessed such a method back when he was in Donghai City, those Professionals in the city who painstakingly teamed up to farm monsters in the wild wouldn't even dream of touching a single hair of a monster, let alone obtaining any Materials and equipment in the wild.

The next second after a BOSS dropped top-tier equipment, it would directly appear out of thin air in Zhou Huai's room dozens of miles away.

This life-questioning method of snatching away loot was simply more irresolvable than the top-tier thieves.

"Pity, I haven't thought much of this level of equipment for a long time," Zhou Huai shook his head, casually returning the battleaxe to its original position.

Nowadays, his vision had long surpassed the conventional Professionals system of the current world; unless it was a Divine Artifact or top-tier items containing Origin Laws, it couldn't catch his eye at all.

After testing Victor's abilities, Zhou Huai reined in his focus and shifted his attention back to the Personality Editor deep within his mind.

Meanwhile.

On the wilderness fifty kilometers away.

That squad of Professionals that had just experienced a bloody battle was currently plunged into a death-like silence.

The team leader maintained the posture of holding it with both hands, completely dumbfounded.

"What is the situation?" The team leader widened his eyes, looking at his empty hands, his voice trembling. "Where is the battleaxe I just dropped?"

Just the second before, it was still heavily held in his hand to play with, how did it suddenly disappear in the blink of an eye?

Afterwards, he turned his head to look at the other team members around him.

"You… which of you took my battleaxe?!" The team leader grew anxious, his eyes widened like copper bells. "Stop joking, hand it over quickly!"

The others looked at each other in dismay, all with dumbfounded expressions.

An assassin team member swallowed a mouthful of saliva and weakly said, "Boss, shouldn't the battleaxe be right in your hand? Everyone watched you holding it just now."

"That is right, Boss, we are still two meters away from you, how could we take it?" The priest also chimed in.

"You didn't take it? Then where did my battleaxe go?!" The team leader spun around twice in place in exasperation, even bending down to rummage through the weeds on the ground. "Could it grow wings and fly away by itself?!"

Just as he was so angry he was about to stamp his feet.

As they spoke, the Void Realm overhead trembled slightly.

With a click sound.

That purple-red glowing epic-grade battleaxe suddenly appeared out of thin air, dropping straight down by the team leader's feet, and even bounced twice on the ground.

Zhou Huai naturally looked down upon this low-Rank epic equipment; his current vision wouldn't accept anything other than Divine Artifacts. Just now, that move was simply to test the grabbing and swapping effects of Universe Reversal.

This scene completely dumbfounded everyone in this squad of Professionals.

The entire scene was dead silent.

No one spoke, and even the sound of breathing became lighter.

The team leader blankly looked at the battleaxe on the ground, then raised his head to look at the empty sky, swallowing a mouthful of saliva.

He bent down, picked up the battleaxe in one go, and tightly gripped it in his hand.

"Retreat!"

His scalp tingling and his face pale, the team leader waved his hand, failing even to pick up the other Materials that had just dropped, and hurriedly called out to everyone, "Let's hurry and leave! This place is a bit weird; we most likely ran into some invisible old monster!"

…

Unawares, the surrounding air became exceptionally dry and hot.

Zhou Huai withdrew from the state of editing Personalities and opened his eyes.

He discovered that Abyss Dragon Xiao Hei was carrying them into a desolate land filled with flying yellow sand across the sky.

Below were endless huge sand dunes, extending like golden waves to the end of the horizon. The air was distorted by the high temperature, showing no signs of life, and even the wind was mixed with scorching sand grains.

The blazing sun hung in the sky.

Zhou Huai noticed that the Goddess of Nature, Chun, who had been sitting on the edge of the Dragon's back catching the wind, was tilting her head slightly upward.

Her green eyes were gazing at the unusually large, glowing sun overhead.

She gazed for a long time, her brows slightly furrowed as she pondered something.

"What is wrong?" Zhou Huai walked to her side, glanced at the blazing sun following her gaze, and asked.

Chun withdrew her gaze and shook her head gently.

"Nothing much." A rare hesitation tinged her voice. "It's just that… the sun overhead feels a bit strange."

"Strange?" Zhou Huai asked. "Isn't it just the sun in the Ancient Egypt desert? The climate here is extreme by nature, so it's normal for it to be a bit scorching, right?"

Chun did not retort, only giving him a meaningful look before saying no more and maintaining her silence.

Seeing this, Zhou Huai did not continue to press. He turned around, facing the scorching hot wind, and looked down at the monotonously repeating golden sand sea below.

However, as time ticked away second by second, Zhou Huai also sensed an abnormality.

He slightly frowned.

"Something is wrong."

Zhou Huai muttered inwardly.

With the terrifying flight speed of Abyss Dragon Xiao Hei, which was comparable to a fighter jet, they had already been entering this desert for some time. According to common sense, under such full-speed flight, they should have long crossed the edge of this area, and even been able to see the outline of the Ancient Egyptian Ruins.

Yet right now, all around was still boundless yellow sand.

"Victor." Zhou Huai summoned him in his heart.

He had just fused Victor into his main body, and then activated the SSS-Rank Space-type passive skill [Void Omniscience].

In an instant, Zhou Huai's perception spread outward.

Ten kilometers, thirty kilometers, fifty kilometers…

In his high-dimensional perception, the space dozens of kilometers in radius unexpectedly showed no changes whatsoever.

There were no oases, no mountain ranges, no towns.

Only yellow sand, endless yellow sand, the entire world being filled with this monotonous gold.

"Xiao Hei, speed up!" Zhou Huai's expression darkened slightly as he issued the command.

"Roar!"

Hearing its master's command, Abyss Dragon Xiao Hei let out an excited Dragon roar. Lowering its huge head, it bit into the huge meat ball hanging around its neck compressed from the flesh and blood of a Quasi-God Level Alligator Snapping Turtle, fiercely tearing off a large chunk of Alligator Snapping Turtle meat and swallowing it into its belly.

Having obtained the replenishment of the Quasi-God Level flesh and blood energy, Abyss Dragon Xiao Hei flapped its dual wings, its massive body bursting out with an even more terrifying sonic boom sound. Its speed increased by more than double, transforming into a black lightning bolt that cut through the sky above the yellow sand.
