Chapter 1711: Sand Giant

"Woke up and found myself here?"

Zhang Xuan was taken aback.

He had woken up in a jungle, encountered the five kings, and tamed them. These people woke up and arrived here... Could it be that not only was everyone teleported to different locations, but they also entered different spaces?

"No wonder I couldn't sense Luo Ruoxi and the others, and didn't even see a single familiar face..."

He had encountered many cultivators in the jungle, but none he knew. At the time, he hadn't thought much of it, but now he finally realized something was off.

It seemed the Confucian Temple was more complex than he had imagined.

"What was that sand giant just now? You've been here for a few hours—have you noticed anything unusual?"

He continued asking.

The jungle was full of treasures and had the 'teacher wind' to elevate one's state of mind, but this place challenged the limits of cultivators—scorching hot and dry, like two completely different worlds.

However, since everyone was teleported to different locations, perhaps there was a similar entrance here. If they could find it, they might enter another space and leave this place.

"The sand giant is a life form here. We only discovered it after walking for over two hours. It attacked us... If not for you, senior, we might not have held on!"

The cultivator with the insight ability dared not hide anything, saying, "As for anything unusual... we didn't notice anything. But we encountered several groups of people on the way, all looking for an oasis. I don't know if they found it..."

"Oasis?" Zhang Xuan's eyes lit up.

That's right. Since there was a desert, there must be an oasis.

If there was an entrance anywhere, it would probably be related to this place!

"How did you lure out that sand giant earlier?"

Understanding this, Zhang Xuan smiled slightly and looked at the crowd.

"We didn't lure it... We were tired and sat down to drink water, and it suddenly appeared and attacked us!"

The cultivator with the insight ability said.

"Drinking water?"

Zhang Xuan frowned.

He had also taken water earlier, but why hadn't the giant appeared?

"Yes, but there's something strange here. No matter how much water you drink, it's useless. Instead, you get thirstier and weaker..."

The cultivator with the insight ability said with a bitter smile.

"Drinking water doesn't work?"

Full of doubt, Zhang Xuan flipped his wrist, and a gourd of water appeared in his palm. He took a sip and indeed felt even thirstier, as if pouring water on scorching flames, his body on the verge of burning.

He put the ordinary water back into his ring and took out the spiritual liquid he had obtained earlier from the jungle. He took a sip and immediately felt his pores open wide, the thirst dissipating, leaving an indescribable comfort.

"So that's it..."

Zhang Xuan's eyes sparkled.

It seemed that drinking water here was useless; what was needed was spiritual liquid!

"Senior, could you... spare some of your spiritual liquid for us?"

Although the crowd was not as strong as Zhang Xuan, they were all experts with keen observation. They had seen him drink water and his lips crack, but after drinking the spiritual liquid, he recovered instantly...

Even a fool would understand that this spiritual liquid could alleviate their current condition.

"You want spiritual liquid? Of course..."

He had plenty anyway. Just as Zhang Xuan was about to say no problem, he had a sudden thought: "Wait a moment. You said earlier that you attracted the sand giant when you were drinking water, right?"

The crowd nodded.

"Alright, reenact the scene of drinking water just now, and don't miss any details. If we can lure out a sand giant, we might find a way to escape this place!"

Zhang Xuan smiled lightly.

He hadn't expected that big fellow earlier to be so weak—killed with a single spear thrust. Now, to find the oasis in such a vast area, blindly searching wouldn't work. He had to rely on these native creatures.

And to lure them out, he had to use these people's method.

Otherwise, like before, he would walk for over an hour and find nothing.

"This..."

The crowd wasn't stupid. Hearing this, they immediately understood and nodded: "Alright!"

Seeing them agree, Zhang Xuan put away the Dragon Bone Divine Spear and suppressed his aura, making him look like an ordinary Golden Body realm cultivator.

Whoosh!

After doing this, he saw one of the cultivators flip his wrist and take out a water gourd.

At their level of cultivation, everyone had a spatial ring and carried food and water with them.

After taking a few sips, the cultivator seemed to feel even thirstier and angrily threw the gourd away.

Gurgle, gurgle!

The water from the gourd flowed into the desert, like drops into boiling oil, sizzling and sending up clouds of white mist.

Boom, boom, boom!

The white mist rose, and soon they heard the sound of rapid footsteps. Two huge sand giants came charging over.

"Both are at the initial stage of Immortality Realm... Senior, you must protect us!"

The crowd's faces changed color.

It was this senior who had them lure these things out, but despite their numbers, they couldn't withstand them.

"Don't worry!"

Smiling lightly, Zhang Xuan's eyes sparkled. Instead of taking out the Dragon Bone Divine Spear, he leaped forward and charged straight at the sand giant before him.

He opened his five fingers and pressed down fiercely.

Whoosh!

His majestic true qi instantly enveloped one of the giants.

Roar!

The giant seemed to have its own consciousness. Realizing it was trapped, it became anxious and raised its huge fist to strike back.

A hurricane swept through, stirring up sand.

Although its strength was formidable and had left the crowd helpless, it was still too weak for Zhang Xuan.

After several punches, it failed to break through his defense.

The second giant also noticed Zhang Xuan's prowess and rushed over to help its companion.

"Stay here too!"

Smiling lightly, Zhang Xuan pressed down with his other hand.

Slap!

The second giant was also pinned to the ground, unable to move.

"Submit to me, and I'll spare your lives..."

Having subdued the two giants, Zhang Xuan snorted coldly.

"Roar!"

The two sand giants seemed not to understand his words, letting out furious roars and continuing to tear at the true qi surrounding them.

"Not obeying? Hmph, then try my methods!"

Seeing them ignore him, Zhang Xuan squinted his eyes, flicked his finger, and a sword qi shot straight at them.

First, give them a taste of his power to make them understand his strength, then he could find a way to tame them.

This was the method for taming spirit beasts: beat them up, then give them a sweet date... Sand giants, though they looked dumb, should follow the same rule.

Hum!

The sword qi struck, expecting to teach them a lesson, but instead, the two sand giants were pierced through the head and began to shake.

Whoosh!

They dissipated, turning back into piles of yellow sand.

"Damn..."

His mouth twitching, Zhang Xuan stood dumbfounded.
