The sand wave gradually faded away.

Lu Yuan didn’t get up until the sand crocodiles and the cat-person girl disappeared from his vision.

He patted the dust off his body, exhaled, and continued to move in the direction of the ancient sea oasis.

…

Two days later.

Lu Yuan climbed over a sand dune and saw a green forest in front of him.

He revealed a smile.

“I’ve finally arrived at the ancient sea oasis. ”

He stepped forward and walked towards the Oasis.

At this moment, the yellow sand not far from Lu Yuan suddenly erupted.

A huge black shadow rushed toward Lu Yuan.

Lu Yuan’s heart trembled. He turned his head abruptly and saw a bloody mouth full of sharp teeth.

His pupils contracted as he stomped on the ground, creating a small pit in the yellow sand.

His body suddenly retreated a few meters.

The black shadow fell at the place where Lu Yuan was.

Lu Yuan saw the attacker’s face clearly.

It had yellow scale armor, four limbs on the ground, and a huge body.

It was a sand crocodile.

Sand crocodiles were widely found in the desert area of Sandstone city.

They would hide in the sand and ambush the genetic warriors that passed by.

Lu Yuan had seen the post in the region of Sandstone city. Many genetic warriors had left the Land of Origin after being ambushed by sand crocodiles.

He had seen too many of these complaints.

Even Lu Yuan had encountered several sneak attacks from sand crocodiles along the way.

The one that Lu Yuan had the most influence on was naturally the eye-level sand crocodile from two days ago.

There was also the cat-person girl who was chasing after the leader-class sand crocodile.

The sand crocodile in front of him was about 1.5 meters tall.

It was an abnormal height.

The average ordinary sand crocodile’s strength ranged from 50% to 80% tempering, and their shoulder height ranged from half a meter to one meter.

A 1.5-meter tall sand crocodile was obviously beyond the range of ordinary sand crocodiles.

Moreover, its strong aura was also a declaration of the sand crocodile’s strength.

It was an elite-grade sand crocodile.

Lu Yuan pursed his lips, showing a hint of excitement.

“I didn’t expect to encounter an elite level fierce beast here. How long has it been since I last encountered one?”

The last time he encountered an elite level fierce beast was the time before the last time he entered the origin source grounds, and he had encountered an elite level small golem in the Sandcliff Underground Palace.

Unfortunately, it did not drop any good items. It only dropped a set of normal quality armor.

“Roar!”

Seeing that Lu Yuan had dodged the attack, the sand crocodile roared in anger. Its yellow eyes were filled with ferocity. Its four limbs pushed off the ground and it quickly crawled towards Lu Yuan.

Lu Yuan clenched his heavy sword with both hands, stomped on the ground, and rushed towards the sand crocodiles.

He swung the heavy sword in his hand, and a black sword light slashed toward the sand crocodile.

The sand crocodile turned its body nimbly and dodged the sword light. Its thick tail swept toward Lu Yuan.

Lu Yuan’s leg swept across and collided with the sand crocodile’s huge tail.

“Bang!”

With a muffled sound, Lu Yuan took two steps back, while the sand crocodile’s huge body was directly kicked away by a powerful force for nearly ten meters, falling to the ground.

Before Lu Yuan could continue to attack, the sand crocodile had already turned over and climbed up again.

This time, it didn’t rush up angrily. Instead, it looked at Lu Yuan warily.

Lu Yuan also raised his eyebrows in surprise.

Although the sand crocodile was slightly weaker than him, it was still very strong.

One must know that Lu Yuan had already absorbed all the moonstone essence in these four days.

At this moment, Lu Yuan’s gene tempering had already reached 91%!

After absorbing so much Moonstone essence, the special effects of the Moonstone essence were starting to show.

At this moment, Lu Yuan’s physical defense and strength were stronger than before.

In addition to his powerful black iron body, as well as the moonstone that increased his overall strength.

At this moment, although his strength was slightly weaker than an assault-type warrior with the same tempering, it was not much weaker.

The strength of the sand crocodiles was probably around 80%.

If it wasn’t for Lu Yuan, there probably wouldn’t be many genetic warriors in the entire Sandstone city that could pose a threat to the sand crocodile.

An ordinary warrior with a 100% honing level would not be a match for an elite ferocious beast with an 80% honing level.

Unfortunately, it met Lu Yuan.

“You’re so unlucky today.” Lu Yuan grinned.

He took a step forward and charged at the sand crocodiles again.

The sand crocodile roared and charged at Lu Yuan again.

This time, yellow sand swirled on the sand crocodile’s claws, forming sharp yellow sand claws, which clawed at Lu Yuan.

The sand claw and Lu Yuan’s heavy sword collided.

Clang!

The sound of iron clashing rang out.

Lu Yuan and the sand crocodile were separated again, and the sand crocodile retreated a few meters.

However, the distance he retreated this time was shorter than before.

Lu Yuan looked at the dissipating yellow sand and raised his eyebrows.

“Sand Claw combat skill?”

Lu Yuan had naturally seen sand crocodiles in the ferocious beast illustrations of Sandstone city.

The combat technique that the elite sand crocodiles mastered was Sand Claw.

Offensive combat technique, using the yellow sand to increase strength, an extremely explosive offensive combat technique.

Lu Yuan’s combat skill was a defense-type combat skill. In terms of offensive strength, it was naturally not as good as sand claw.

Even so, Lu Yuan could still suppress the sand crocodiles ‘explosive offensive combat techniques with defensive combat techniques.

If it was anyone else, they would have been shocked.

Lu Yuan stomped on the ground and charged at the sand crocodile again.

“Roar!”

The sand crocodile saw that its most powerful combat skill was not as good as Lu Yuan ‘s. With a low roar, it turned around and tried to escape.

As an elite fierce beast with a high degree of tempering, it already had a certain level of intelligence.

Unfortunately, the sand crocodiles weren’t elite fierce beasts that were known for their speed.

In addition, Lu Yuan had the support of the moonstone, so his speed was not slow.

Almost instantly, Lu Yuan stood in front of the sand crocodile. The heavy sword in his hand drew a beautiful arc and slashed at the sand crocodile smoothly.

At first, the sand crocodiles could still block a few attacks with their sand claws.

After blocking four or five attacks, the sand crocodile was slashed on its scale armor. A huge wound appeared on the scale armor, and blood spurted out.

The sand crocodile let out a shrill cry, turned around, and tried to escape.

However, how could Lu Yuan let it do as it wished?

The continuous attacks injured the sand crocodile again.

In the end, Lu Yuan’s sword pierced through the scale armor on the sand crocodile’s neck.

The sand crocodile’s body stiffened and fell heavily to the ground, losing its vitality.

Lu Yuan pulled out his heavy sword and flicked off the blood on it. He looked at the sand crocodile’s corpse with anticipation.

Spirit crystals appeared one after another.

There was a small pile of them.

As an elite feral with an 80% tempering rate, it dropped a large number of crystals upon death.

However, Lu Yuan’s attention was not on the spiritual crystals.

He looked at the green light that appeared on the sand crocodile and smiled.

An elite grade item!

This was the second elite-grade item he had obtained.

Of course, the moonstones of the boss level did not count.

He quickly took the ball of light.

Inside was a set of khaki-colored battle armor, including boots, full-body armor, and gloves.

Compared to the stone beetle armor that Lu Yuan obtained at the beginning, this armor looked much more high-end. At least, it could cover most of the body.

And he looked quite heroic.

The land of origin transmitted the information to Lu Yuan’s mind.

The desert stealth battlesuit mainly increased strength, but it also increased defense and agility. In addition to the defense ability provided by the armor itself, it could be said to be a pretty good piece of equipment.

Lu Yuan’s tempering had already reached 91%.

One of the moonstones was a leader-class geno weapon, though.

However, he was a guardian-type warrior, so his physical strength was much stronger than other genetic warriors. It was no problem for him to be equipped with this equipment.

He took out his geno weapon and absorbed the desert stealth armor.

Instantly, Lu Yuan’s strength increased by another 10%. Perhaps because of Lu Yuan’s strong defense, the increase in his defense was not too great. However, his agility had also increased by nearly 5%.

To Lu Yuan, it was a significant improvement.

It must be known that with the increase in his current strength, the beetle claw sword had not even increased his strength by 10%.

It was a weapon-type geno armament.

The geno weapon dropped by a highly refined beast would be of a higher quality than an elite weapon.

Lu Yuan picked up the spirit crystal again.

There was a total of 349 crystals.

It was comparable to the spirit crystals dropped by more than 100 small golems.

After that, Lu Yuan packed up the materials of the sand crocodile.

The most precious materials of sand crocodiles were their leather and four sharp teeth that were more than ten centimeters long.

Leather could be used to make leather armor, and sharp teeth could be used to make daggers and other equipment.

Other things could not be sold for many spiritual crystals, so Lu Yuan did not want to waste his space.

After packing up, Lu Yuan left and walked towards the oasis.
