Chapter 919: Chapter 924: Five Years (Part One)

Pandora Star, a region in the Kien Desert of the Longqi Empire.

The sweeping yellow sand and the faint purple mist floating in the void created a striking contrast, while the scorching sunlight above and the occasional cold light bursting from the rocky shadows on the ground interwoven into a spectacular scene of natural wonder.

On the sunless side of a hill covered by golden-yellow gravel, several ’corpses’ lay haphazardly across the golden sand dunes, half-buried in the yellow sand.

Then, the ’corpses’ suddenly moved, the sand sliding off to reveal the figures of a man, a cat, and a mouse.

It was Yang Gang, the little hamster, and the Blue Cat Little Ao.

Yang Gang stood up and glanced at the desert, the corners of his mouth twitching slightly.

"Hey, Little Ao, do you know where this is?" Yang Gang said.

Little Ao shook the sand grains off its body, looked around, and shook its cat head: "This humble cat doesn’t know, but this should be Pandora Star."

Yang Gang rolled his eyes: "Useless cat."

"Meow protests!" Little Ao protested, waving its front paws.

Yang Gang ignored Little Ao and looked around the boundless desert again, his face darkening: "This is a blatant tourist scam, what Pandora is a dreamy heaven, lush with trees, beautiful mountains and rivers, this place is nothing but a desert, okay!"

Little Ao looked on with a very disdainful gaze: "Alas, the natives of the primitive planets are so foolish. What you see is only an extremely, extremely, extremely, extremely... small part of Pandora Star."

Yang Gang’s face was lined with annoyance, about to unleash his ancestral threatening technique, but Little Ao suddenly let out a sharp ’squeak squeak’ towards a certain direction!

Soon after, a group of red-furred foxes appeared on a sand dune several hundred meters ahead.

The red foxes were colossal in size, the smallest being as big as an adult elephant from Earth, and the largest standing several fathoms tall.

"Hmm, desert red foxes, these are the most common creatures in the Pandora Desert, smaller in size, very fast, and they live in groups," Little Ao said.

Yang Gang’s mouth twitched: "You call these small in size?"

Little Ao rolled its eyes: "Big brother, this is Pandora Star, not Earth. Don’t judge the creatures of Pandora Star by Earth’s standards."

"Are all the creatures on Pandora Star this big?" Yang Gang asked again.

"How could that be? Am I and Little Ao big?" Little Ao paused, then added: "Indeed, there are many large creatures on Pandora, but there are also a lot of creatures roughly the same size as those on Earth."

As Yang Gang and Little Ao were talking, the little hamster let out another sharp ’squeak squeak’.

Yang Gang turned to look, and the group of desert red foxes had already pounced over.

As Little Ao had said, the desert red foxes were incredibly fast, covering a hundred meters in about 5-6 seconds. Considering the somewhat bulky bodies of the red foxes, this speed was indeed astounding.

"Don’t make a move, I’ll handle them," Yang Gang said indifferently.

He had to train himself. He was well aware that with his current strength, he was meant to be trodden upon on Pandora Star.

Little Ao and Little Hamster consciously stepped back.

Yang Gang closed his eyes, took a deep breath, then opened them again, a hint of sharpness flashing in his eyes.

He stretched out his right hand and whispered, "Hand of God."

Then, his right hand instantly transformed into a long sword three feet in length, with silver light flowing along the blade and electric arcs swirling around it.

The Hand of God’s right hand could freely transform into various forms of cold weapons according to his imagination, including swords, knives, and shields.

However, the electric arcs twining around the sword that Yang Gang had now conjured were purely for show and wouldn’t actually trigger lightning strikes.

Although it wouldn’t produce a real electric shock effect, it looked magnificent and had a great deterrent effect.

When the group of red foxes saw the long sword in Yang Gang’s hand wrapped in thunder and lightning, they were deterred and stopped about fifty meters away from Yang Gang, continuously snarling at him, but not attacking.

After a standoff of about half a minute, the leading red fox howled to the sky, and then the pack of foxes rushed forward with a howl.

Yang Gang’s eyes were cold as he raised his hand and swung his sword, unleashing a strong sword aura that whistled through the air.

Thwack, thwack, thwack!

Three streaks of crimson blood splattered across the desert, like a painter’s brushstrokes with vermilion ink, creating a morbid beauty among the expanse of golden yellow.

The three frontmost, large skeletal desert red foxes rapidly fell into pools of blood.

The Ap particles were indeed the most mysterious particles in the universe. Yang Gang realized when swinging the sword conjured by his right hand that Ap particles could actually solidify into sword aura, turning the close-ranged weapons like swords into area-of-effect, or AOE, capable weapons.

However, compared to guns, arrows, and cannons, the range of melee weapons like swords was still relatively small.

Grrr, grrr, grrr!

As if provoked, the remaining desert red foxes all pounced at him in a frenzy.

The leading red fox stayed at the back, howling toward the sky.

Its roar echoed through the vast desert, forming tangible sound waves!

"Lord Gang, that leading red fox seems to be a high-level beast, and its Divine Skill is likely Shocking Soundwave. Every creature’s head has two vulnerable spots, one is the eyes, and the other is the ears. These shockwaves can cause significant damage to other creatures’ eardrums," Little explained.

"Hmm... this Divine Skill is similar to that of the Giant Ape we encountered in the Land of Fallen."

As Yang Gang mused, the sound waves had already arrived.

"Ah!" Yang Gang suddenly felt an intense pain in his ears, as if his eardrums were about to be torn apart.

In this situation, his right hand involuntarily reverted to its original form, and then he clasped his head and crouched down.

Seizing this gap, the remaining desert red foxes all rushed over.

"Lord Gang!" Little called out anxiously.

The little hamster was also ready to attack.

"Don’t come over, I can handle it myself," Yang Gang struggled to stand up.

If he couldn’t even deal with mere desert red foxes, how would he survive in this world full of formidable enemies!

Yang Gang took a deep breath and then activated the cells within his body, greatly boosting his immunity in an instant, which significantly reduced the effect of the shocking soundwaves on his eardrums.

Watching the fox pack that had already pounced upon him, the corners of Yang Gang’s mouth curled into a cold smile.

He extended his right arm again, his hand transforming into a three-foot-long blade as he concentrated and held his breath, swinging down with a slash.

As his blade passed, a strong force of will separated the nearby fox pack and the surrounding sand particles.

Spurt spurt spurt~

Bright red blood soaked the yellow sand as the corpses of at least twenty red foxes lay scattered around Yang Gang.

"Wow, Boss, that’s amazing! You instantly killed more than twenty desert red foxes with one swipe," Little hurriedly offered flattery.

Yang Gang, however, didn’t have time to pay attention to Little. His focus was entirely on the red fox leader possessing Divine Skills.

"Woo woo!"

The red fox leader let out a mournful cry.

Then, it turned and fled!

Yang Gang almost didn’t react in time!

Damn, playing dirty!

Although the red fox leader was not a sentient creature, it clearly had a high level of intelligence.

Yang Gang extended his left hand, once again conjuring the Barrett Sniper Rifle, then aimed at the swiftly leaping red fox leader, predicted its trajectory, and pulled the trigger.

Crack!

The sniper bullet shot out from the barrel.

A moment later.

Thud!

The red fox leader had already fallen in the desert.

Yang Gang walked over to check, confirming that the red fox leader had breathed its last before he returned.

"Hey, what are you two doing?!"

Upon returning, Yang Gang found Little and Little Ao drinking the blood of the red foxes, the scene a bit unsettling.

"Lord Gang, you should drink too. In this desert, the only liquid available is red fox blood. Otherwise, you’re just waiting for death," Little said.

The corner of Yang Gang’s mouth twitched, but he knew that Little was stating a fact.

Still, drinking blood...

After much internal conflict, Yang Gang ultimately ’surrendered’ to reality.

The three of them quenched their thirst with red fox blood, filled some bags with it for reserve, and continued their journey.
