Standing on the sand dunes stained red with blood,
Tang Zheng paused, an astonished expression on his Flesh Armament-covered face.
The situation just now actually triggered a class! He knew that in another world, due to various factors such as personal experiences and living environments, people could accidentally acquire classes.
But this was the first time he had personally encountered it.
"'Unique' class, does such a class system exist in the game «YGGDRASIL»?" A hint of doubt flashed in Tang Zheng's eyes as he murmured to himself.
He raised his head,
Looking at Ya La'er and the others not far away, who were still shouting, their faces filled with joy and madness after surviving a disaster.
"Gray Armor Knight!"
"Gray Armor Knight!"
"......!"
"Gray Armor Knight!"
The loud shouts continued, as if everyone wanted to use heart-wrenching cries to Dispel the Fear that had been suppressed in their hearts.
The people living here had probably been living in Fear of death and extermination.
"A 'unique' class born because of the 'hope' of the people here and my existence? What an unimaginable discovery."
Tang Zheng took a deep breath, his gaze sweeping over the series of information on the attribute panel, vaguely understanding the emergence and acquisition conditions of this class.
"What a pity."
As the [Gray Armor Knight (Unique)] class was successfully acquired, the class was automatically absorbed by [Genius], becoming one of the many basic classes that could be converted.
This meant that even Tang Zheng himself, under the characteristics of [Genius], could not figure out the abilities possessed by this class.
Crack!
Tang Zheng turned around, the gray armor of the Flesh Armament rubbing and making a crisp sound, and stepped on the head of a dead Gray Dwarf.
Whoosh—
Tang Zheng raised his arm, holding high the Magic Greatsword stained with blood.
With this action,
Ya La'er and all the other humans stopped shouting, their eyes filled with worship and fanaticism.
As Tang Zheng's thoughts moved, the gray armor of the Flesh Armament, also stained with blood, turned into a cloud of gray mist and re-integrated into Tang Zheng's body.
The blood originally stained on the armor also turned into droplets and fell, revealing Tang Zheng in black martial attire, the blade of the Magic Greatsword reflecting a cold light under the sunlight.
"Victory!"
Tang Zheng looked at the people not far away and said loudly.
"Victory!"
"Victory!"
"Victory!"
"...!"
"Victory!"
Loud shouts rang out again.
Night fell, and the sky above the Oasis was dotted with stars.
A pile of burning bonfires glowed red in the night, reflecting the faces of everyone around the bonfire in a fiery red.
Men and women with earth-brown headscarves wrapped around their heads jumped around the bonfire, this was a unique way of celebrating and dressing for the human tribes living here.
However, most people's gazes were respectfully focused on a young Black-Haired Youth not far away, their chief sat beside the Black-Haired Youth, seemingly chatting about something.
At this moment,
Tang Zheng was sitting in front of a table laden with all sorts of bizarre yet fragrant foods.
"Your Excellency Tang, this is salted bread made from sand rice that we grow ourselves, ground into flour and mixed with saltwort."
Ya La'er's father, Chieftain Di Yelong, with his dark skin, sat kneeling beside Tang Zheng, respectfully introducing the food on the table: "This is Saluo Thorn. It looks a bit black, but it's actually sun-dried and then roasted, making it very crispy."
"This is Sour Desert Soup, made from a unique plant from our oasis. The black specks on top are saltwort powder, which is our most important source of salt."
Chieftain Di Yelong spoke cautiously, afraid that the food on the table might not suit the palate of the hero who had saved their entire tribe.
In his eyes, Tang Zheng, who possessed the power to single-handedly defeat the entire Gray Dwarf legion, must be a powerful being who had stepped into the "Hero" Domain, an existence beyond description, just like his father.
In this harsh desert environment, being able to present nearly ten kinds of food showed the level of care that Chieftain Di Yelong and the others had put in.
"You don't have to call me 'Your Excellency Tang'. Just call me Tang,"
Tang Zheng said again, correcting the other man's address. Chieftain Di Yelong kept calling him "Hero," which made him feel a little embarrassed. "This food is all very good."
Tang Zheng wasn't too particular about food. He picked up one at random and took a few bites.
The taste was quite unique, and not unpleasant.
Since transmigrating to this world, Tang Zheng had spent most of his time in the wild and didn't have many demands when it came to food. As long as it wasn't bad, it was fine.
Whoosh!
The Evil Spirit Dog, in its Hawk form, devoured a piece of roasted scorpion meat, seeming quite satisfied.
Tang Zheng reached out and patted the Evil Spirit Dog's wings, signaling it to be a little quieter. The Hawk's eating habits were somewhat different from the Evil Spirit Dog's.
The Evil Spirit Dog clearly hadn't fully adapted yet.
But even so,
Tang Zheng didn't intend to make the Evil Spirit Dog revert from its Hawk form. Anyway, it was consuming his Mana.
Hiding his own information was Tang Zheng's consistent principle, especially in details like this, which required even more attention.
Chieftain Di Yelong seemed relieved that Tang Zheng was satisfied.
"What's the situation with the Gray Dwarves? How many troops are left?" Tang Zheng asked the key question after eating some food.
The 5,000-strong Gray Dwarf legion had been defeated, but not all of them had died. Some Gray Dwarf soldiers had escaped, and this situation naturally needed to be guarded against.
Whether the Gray Dwarves would send reinforcements again.
Among the gains this time, besides unexpectedly obtaining a "Unique" basic class, he had also experienced a surge in Experience Points.
Experience Bar: 782262/120000
He had single-handedly slaughtered nearly the entire 5,000-strong Dwarf legion, causing his arms to still feel a little numb and sore from swinging his sword.
But at the same time, his Experience Points had increased by over 600,000 in one go! "The Gray Dwarves occupy the largest oasis in this Despair Valley, with a population of about 20,000, more than four times that of our human tribe."
Chieftain Di Yelong's voice still carried a hint of Fear as he said this.
More than four times the population was not just a difference in size. The difference in the number of strong individuals, the number of young adults, and so on, meant that the two sides were not on the same level at all.
With the death of the strongest member of their human tribe,
Chieftain Di Yelong had long been prepared for the Gray Dwarves to destroy them. Not only him, but everyone in the tribe had prepared for death.
Just like the name of this "Despair Valley."
Every day, everyone lived in despair, waiting for death to arrive.
Escape from this oasis?
Without a water source, it was impossible to survive in this vast desert. It was just a different way to die.
Even now, although they had achieved victory, nearly a thousand of their tribesmen had died, and many more were injured.
"Your Excellency Tang!"
"If it weren't for your appearance, our tribe would probably have been destroyed. I'm sorry to my father, and I'm sorry to all the tribesmen."
Chieftain Di Yelong suddenly bent down and kowtowed heavily to Tang Zheng, bursting into tears.
Seeing a seemingly Tenacity and serious middle-aged chieftain suddenly burst into tears made Tang Zheng feel a little uncomfortable.
Just as he was about to reach out to help Chief Di Yelong up.
Whoosh! All the other humans, who had been watching this side and dancing around the bonfire, knelt on the ground at this moment, burying their heads towards Tang Zheng.
At the same time, sobs and cries rang out in the air.
This sudden scene made Tang Zheng's eyes twitch, and his original movement to help Chief Di Yelong paused.
A sorrowful atmosphere permeated the air.
The joyful atmosphere from just now seemed to have disappeared in an instant!
Looking at this scene, Tang Zheng's expression gradually calmed down, and he indifferently swept his gaze over everyone: "How unsightly."
"So, do you usually solve problems by crying!"
"What I saved before was a group of humans who would bite off a piece of flesh from their enemies even if they died!"
"You were able to seize an Oasis in such a place and survive here, and it wasn't by crying, was it?"
His calm voice echoed in the air.
Chief Di Yelong raised his head immediately, wiped the tears from his face, and respectfully nodded to Tang Zheng: "My apologies."
Immediately after.
Chief Di Yelong turned his head, took a deep breath towards the clansmen who were also kneeling on the ground, opened his mouth, and roared: "Have you all cried enough for me!"
"This chief of yours isn't dead yet, and we haven't been exterminated yet!"
"What's there to be sad about! Which family here hasn't lost someone? Haven't we lost enough people already!"
"Those who should dance, dance for me!"
The angry roar resounded throughout the Oasis, and even the steadily burning bonfire flickered a few times.
Everyone's faces turned red as they got up from the ground one by one, the flames of the bonfire burned even more fiercely, and everyone's jumping movements became even more frenzied.
"You must be laughing at us, Hero... Your Excellency Tang."
Chief Di Yelong turned around and looked at Tang Zheng in front of him somewhat uneasily. Just after saying the words "Hero," he felt Tang Zheng's gaze and quickly changed his words, then whispered: "The Gray Dwarf were already eliminated by you, and with your help, the Gray Dwarf clan will not invade our territory again for at least ten years."
Looking at Chief Di Yelong, who quickly adjusted himself, Tang Zheng took a deep look at him. Being able to be a chief indeed required some skill.
The Gray Dwarf side had a total of about 20,000 people, and sending out 5,000 soldiers in one go could indeed be described as an all-out effort, obviously with the intention of completely destroying the human clan in one breath and completely occupying this Oasis.
The remaining 15,000 people should have no problem converting half of the population into soldiers, but after this incident.
