"Ah? I'll be going?"
Zhang Xue'er was a little surprised that her brother would ask her to go.
"Well, you can't stay here all day. It's good to go out for a walk."
Zhang Yang felt that it was better to arrange something for Zhang Xue'er to do since she looked like she had nothing to do.
"Okay, brother!"
Zhang Xue'er was very excited now. It was finally a serious mission. After a simple meeting, Burton and Zhang Xue'er left the place.
"Hu Tao, I heard that Xue'er taught you magic?"
Zhang Yang finally turned his gaze back to the reincarnation of the Goddess of Luck.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Hu Tao was no longer that little stutterer. After all, she had faced this lord for a period of time.
As long as Zhang Yang did not fly into a rage or release Wei Ya, Hu Tao could barely stand up.
"What kind of lock bending technique did you learn?" Zhang Yang asked.
Hu Tao replied, "I learned water bending and fire bending techniques."
Yes...
Zhang Yang knew right away that it was Zhang Xue'er who taught him.
Zhang Xue'er specialized in those two kinds of lock bending techniques.
Human lock bending techniques were basically all lock bending techniques that could be learned, but most cultivators developed them individually.
For example, Zhang Yang mainly used fire-type bending techniques.
Even if he knew water-type bending techniques, he would rarely use them.
It was because he did not like water!
Zhang Yang, however, was an anomaly. He wanted to become a cultivator who was proficient in all kinds of lock-type bending techniques.
"Show me your Scarlet Flames," Zhang Yang said.
Scarlet Flames was a must-learn fire-type bending technique for fire-type lock-type bending masters.
"Ah? To you? Your Majesty, this..."
Hearing this, Hu Tao was a little confused. Was His Majesty self-harming?
"Don't worry, I'm a high-level cultivator. Your Scarlet Flame won't work on me," Zhang Yang said disdainfully.
Basically, low-level fire-type lock-bending techniques were ineffective on Zhang Yang, unless it was a particularly powerful fire-bending technique.
What hurt Zhang Yang was not the flames, but the impact of the explosion of the flames.
"Alright, then."
Seeing that His Majesty did not care, Hu Tao could not refuse anymore.
Hu Tao crossed her hands and clenched them into fists, silently accumulating his elemental energy.
Boiling...
A scorching water ball that was one meter wide condensed in front of Hu Tao. This was a self-created move that Hu Tao had combined with the water and fire double lock bending technique.
Then, the water ball attacked Zhang Yang's dark red clothes.
Bang!
The fireball hit Zhang Yang's clothes firmly, raising a cloud of black fog.
"Your Majesty!" Hu Tao cried out in panic.
In the next moment, Zhang Yang gently waved his hand, and the black fog dissipated in the surroundings.
"What are you shouting for? With that little water ball of yours, you might as well take a comfortable bath in hot water."
Zhang Yang was a little speechless. Looking at how long she had been accumulating energy, he had thought that it was some powerful spell.
He did not expect that in the end, it would not be as hot as bathing in hot water.
"Isn't that because your body is too strong..."
Hu Tao's two pure white fingers poked each other, and her expression was a little aggrieved.
He had thought that His Majesty would be slightly injured and be on tenterhooks. He had almost forgotten about his majesty's terrifying physique.
"It just so happens that you know Scarlet Flames. Come over and treat it as a bathe for me."
Zhang Yang turned his back to Hu Tao.
Usually, after he finished exercising, he would go back and take a comfortable bath in the hot water.
However, now that he had come to the yellow desert, it had been a long time since he had taken a bath. The conditions did not allow it.
Now that Hu Tao could boil hot water, she could use her boiling water skills.
"Ah?!"
Hu Tao felt that there was something wrong with His Majesty's thinking. He used the lock bending technique to take a bath.
This should be the first time in the entire continent, right?
Even other cultivators would not do that.
However, His Majesty's orders were absolute. Hu Tao had no choice but to take up the role of Zhang Yang's bath attendant.
On the other side...
Zhang Xue'er was flying toward the new desert forest.
Below, Burton led his cavalry to follow after her, stirring up layers of sand and dust.
Burton rode on the horned lizard and shouted at Zhang Xue'er in the sky, "Your Highness Xue'er! There's still some distance to the desert forest, do you want to take a break?"
This was something that Zhang Xue'er had arranged herself. It was a little too early to call her 'Her Highness' or 'the empress', and it would be uncomfortable for the others to call her that way. Hence, she found it pretty good.
While they were riding on the horned lizard, Her Highness Zhang Xue'er was flying in the sky.
It made Burton feel a little embarrassed.
"No, need!"
Zhang Xue'er lowered her altitude. At the same time, she had made some new discoveries.
When they returned to Knox, she had to report to her brother.
The cavalry followed them all the way and finally arrived at the new desert forest in half an hour.
"Ha!"
The horned lizard was stopped by Burton and it let out an ear-piercing cry.
"It's Your Highness Xue'er."
Burton jumped down from the horned lizard and held the horned lizard's hand as they walked.
Zhang Xue'er also landed on the ground. In front of them was a lush desert forest.
"Hello, leader Burton! Hello, Your Highness Xue'er!"
The attacker who was guarding this forest greeted the two of them.
Zhang Xue'er and Burton casually muttered, "Hmm."Then, they walked into the desert forest.
"Your Highness Xue'er, this forest is only about ten hectares, slightly smaller than the original desert forest."
Burton handed the horned lizard to the other attackers and reported the situation to Zhang Xue'er.
"Yes, I smell a strange smell."
Zhang Xue'er suddenly stopped and sniffed.
"Yes, your Highness Xue'er. We found some traces left by other predators here."
Burton brought Xue'er to an open space where there were three assailant handles.
In the middle of the open space, there was a pile of fire that still had a trace of temperature. It looked like it had just been extinguished not long ago.
A demon beast without intelligence could not start a fire. Therefore, it appeared to be an intelligent demon beast.
Zhang Xue'er was very familiar with the auras of the assailants, human cultivators, and Chuan. This smell was different from their bodies.
It was a new unknown magical beast! "In this desert, do you know of any other tribes?"
Zhang Xue'er turned her head and asked Burton.
Burton thought for a moment and quickly said, "Yes, in the northern part of the Yellow Wind Desert, it is currently occupied by a group of powerful Explosive Teeth Tribe."
"Explosive Teeth Tribe? What magical beast was it founded by?"
Zhang Xue'er asked in puzzlement.
"A group of turtles with spiny shells. What kind of race exactly?"
"I'm not sure either. The Sharp Blade Tribe has never been to the north to deal with them."
Burton shook his head. He only knew that it was a group of turtles.
"Turtles with spiny shells that lives in the desert."
Zhang Xue'er quickly asked her cheat. She immediately knew of several similar turtle races.
Since she had not seen that race, Zhang Xue'er did not dare to confirm what it was.
"Then, is it possible that they left this behind?"
Zhang Xue'er blew a breath of cold air, freezing the fire that was still warm.
"It's possible. After all, this place is already close to the northern region." Burton nodded.
"It's possible? Burton, your intelligence work is really good."
Zhang Xue'er ridiculed him in amusement.
"I'm sorry, Your Highness Xue'er! It's my negligence!"
Burton quickly half-knelt on the ground, hoping that Zhang Xue'er could forgive him.
"Enough, compared to brother, I hate verbal actions. Instead, I prefer actual actions."
"There's a Explosive Teeth Tribe in the north. Go and call them!"
Zhang Xue'er said fiercely.
"But Your Highness Xue'er, we have to first apply for his Majesty's opinion."
Burton said fearfully.
"I understand. I'll go back now and come back immediately. You just need to gather the troops."
Zhang Xue'er instantly flew into the sky and disappeared in front of Burton's eyes.
"Understood!" Burton turned around to organize the troops to prepare for the attack.
