Lord Of The World: I Become The Lord Of The Desert From The Start Chapter 282 - An Unexpected Surprise

Chapter 282: Chapter 241: An Unexpected Surprise

July 26. Morning.

Emily’s happy voice awakened Richard.

“Father, it’s time to get up and have breakfast. There’s very, very fragrant toast today.”

He got out of bed, put on his clothes, and opened the door. He saw a little centaur with crescent-shaped eyes and a delicate breakfast tray in her hands.

Richard’s mood brightened up when he saw that innocent smile.

He reached out to hold the other party’s delicate face and ruthlessly pinched it a few times. In the end, he looked at the little centaur as she turned her head away angrily and didn’t want to talk to him and laughed.

“Emily, I’ll take you to the desert after breakfast.”

The little centaur’s anger immediately subsided, and its eyes lit up as it looked at him in surprise.

“Really?”

“Of course.”

The little guy immediately became excited after she got his promise. She quickly entered the house and placed the food on the round table. It was like she wanted him to finish it in a second.

Richard ate his breakfast while he played with Emily after he washed up.

The little centaur was angry for a moment and then giggled. A relaxed atmosphere filled the room.

The two got gradually closer over the past few days. Richard did look like he had a daughter.

This little fellow was not only mischievous. She was also very obedient and sensible.

He was not the only one. No one in the entire Twilight City disliked this little centaur.

Richard fulfilled his promise to Emily after the meal.

He left Twilight city with her and went to the G.o.d’s ancient tree stationed outside the territory.

He looked at the powerful being that had no trunk. Venomous wasps surrounded the magical tree.

The centaur subconsciously hid behind Richard. Her hands gripped tightly to his s.h.i.+rt.

“Father, I’m afraid…”

Her voice was soft. It was like she was afraid the G.o.d’s ancient tree could hear her.

Richard chuckled at the adorable girl.

“Don’t be afraid. The tree roots won’t hurt you.”

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and waved. The G.o.d’s ancient tree immediately twisted its branches and formed a ladder in front of him.

She was more obedient than anyone else.

Richard climbed up the natural ladder to the top of the tree.

“Emily, follow me.”

The centaur’s eyes immediately lit up when she saw this scene.

“Yes, father…”

First, he carefully took a step forward. He immediately walked up the tree trunk after he made sure there were no problems.

Soon, the two arrived at the top of the tree.

They stood more than 30 meters tall and looked down at the vast desert. Excitement shrouded Emily’s face.

“Father, look at them. They’ve become smaller…

“Look, that’s Uncle Ned. He gave me some delicious bread yesterday.

“The blacksmith shop is there! Big Sister Adele said she would custom-make a beautiful armor for me.”

“Ah, shy Sister Ruili didn’t close the window when she changed clothes.

The following words were dolly.

The chattering and innocent words filled the air with childlike fun.

Richard ignored the excited little one and directed the G.o.d’s ancient tree toward the agricultural area.

It received the order.

‘Shua!’

Colossal roots rose from the ground. And in an instant, sand and stones flew up. Enormous cracks appeared.

The yellow sand splashed up dozens of meters high.

This dramatic action caused another round of exclamations from Emily. She excitedly pulled Richard over to let him see.

After they crossed the agricultural area, Richard had the man continue deeper into the desert.

After about 15 kilometers.

Only then did the G.o.d’s ancient tree stop and pull back the roots on the ground.

Richard checked the system map and confirmed they had arrived at the target area. The north of the territory.

Without hesitation, he took out a slightly gray crystal from the system s.p.a.ce-land of quicksand.

He could place this 4-stars treasure he obtained from the faceless statue in a land of quicksand with a diameter of 10 kilometers.

More importantly, he could gain some experience from the enemies he killed in the land of quicksand.

It was very comfortable.

Lying down and making money. It was simply a landlord in a fantasy world…

While he thought of this, he had an idea.

[Ding~ Do you wish to place quicksand land here? (Note: You cannot move the quicksand land once you placed it.)]

Confirmation.

The next second, after he made his choice.

The crystal ball in front of him suddenly shattered.

A thick wave of energy gushed out like a storm and poured into the surrounding sand.

It quickly spread to the surroundings with the G.o.d’s ancient tree at the center.

Richard looked at the quicksand on the ground. It did not seem any different, and curiosity enc.u.mbered his eyes.

‘It was just quicksand. How could it be rated as a 4-stars treasure? Was this thing really so powerful?’

With a few probing thoughts, it floated up and slowly landed on the sand.

The moment he stood on the sand, his body immediately sank uncontrollably.

It was like he stood in mercury. The seemingly thick sand could not support his weight at all.

The sand had sunk into his thigh in just a few short breaths.

Richard felt as if countless arms pulled his feet, and he felt weak.

Tsk, he had underestimated the power of quicksand.

He exerted all his strength and tried to pull his legs out of the sand.

However, in the quicksand with no support, the more he struggled, the faster he sank.

Richard couldn’t take it any longer when the sand reached his stomach.

He let out a low roar, and his bloodline power exploded to its limit.

The sand below him exploded, and his body suddenly rose from the sunken ground.

Dragon power.

He used brute force to break free from the quicksand.

The smile on Richard’s face froze as soon as he fell to the ground.

His foothold sank rapidly.

There was no safe zone in this land of quicksand.

Richard tilted his head. He did not use his Beyond A-rank skill, Yellow Sand Control. He used the power he gained from bathing in the dragon’s blood instead to rush to the bottom of the G.o.d’s ancient tree from a hundred meters away.

Sweat flooded his forehead already by the time he held onto the tree trunk.

The quicksand was much more terrifying than he had imagined.

The more they struggled, the easier for the yellow sand to swallow them in a place without any support and with an area that constantly sank.

It was not as simple as he thought.

The best way was to use gentleness to overcome gentleness, avoid excessive movements, and increase contact.

As Richard’s thoughts wandered, the system notification rang.

[Ding~ You have successfully placed the land of quicksand. You will gain experience points for every enemy you kill in the land of quicksand.]

[Ding~ The system detected a boss unit in the land of quicksand. Do you want to place the boss unit in the land of quicksand? (Note: After you place the boss unit, it could control the land of quicksand.)]

His eyes sparked with delight after he checked the notifications a few times.

He could place a boss in the land of quicksand?

To let the G.o.d’s ancient tree control the quicksand didn’t seem like a bad idea.

He immediately chose to confirm.

The next second.

The pale yellow light that had initially isolated the G.o.d’s ancient tree surged over and enveloped it.

After the light had dissipated, the aura of the G.o.d’s ancient tree had already fused with the surroundings.

Richard was just about to check out the new attributes of quicksand when he felt the ground beneath his feet shake, and then he saw something that made him stop breathing.

The G.o.d’s ancient tree began to move quickly in the desert without pulling out its roots… No, it wasn’t moving, but the sand around it was moving.

Control the quicksand.

The G.o.d’s ancient tree had used the quicksand to drive itself like a car…

Richard was a little surprised. He didn’t know he could use the quicksand in this way.

He gradually felt something was wrong after he regained his senses. The G.o.d’s ancient tree… Did it gain super-strong movement ability?

After Richard pondered for a while, he suddenly revealed an extremely bright smile.

This time, he had earned big!

What was the most powerful thing about the G.o.d’s ancient tree? Standing armor!

With its enormous body, trunk, and instant death characteristics, its battle power in a head-on battle was the ceiling of the same level.

And what was the opponent’s greatest weakness? Inflexibility!

Even if the other party could pull out the roots and escape, this weakness was still fatal.

He took advantage of its inflexibility to subdue it.

But now, the appearance of the land of quicksand was different.

When a boss was almost invincible when it stood up, it would gain more flexible movement speed than ordinary people.

If that were the case, it would vastly enhance the boss’s battle power!

Richard suddenly felt that the quicksand was worth more than he had imagined.
