Please be my partner.

"My tribe lives on the edge of the Chaos Desert. We've always had a tradition of going into the Chaos Desert to complete challenges and tests as a rite of passage. Some tribesmen also go into the Chaos Desert to hunt."

"Since more than a decade ago, whether it's young tribe members undergoing their coming-of-age rites or adults hunting, less than one in ten of those who enter the Chaos Desert have ever returned alive."

"This incident quickly alerted the tribe. After several investigations, they discovered that a special spiritual being had taken root in the Chaos Desert."

"At first, our tribe sent out some experts to hunt it down, and we thought the incident was over. But who knew that just a short time later, that special spiritual life reappeared. Only then did we realize that what we had killed before was just a clone of that special spiritual life."

"After that, the tribe launched several large-scale raids, but still failed to eliminate it. Even when the tribal elders personally went, it would cunningly hide in advance."

"This spiritual being is the first goal I set for myself after achieving sainthood."

After listening to Rooney's story, Melen finally understood the love-hate relationship between the Savage Giant and the spiritual life of the dog in the chaotic desert. It would not be an exaggeration to say that the hatred was as deep as the sea.

According to Mellen's ideas in his previous life, no matter how rare and precious an animal is, once it shows signs of injuring or killing people, it can only be euthanized. This is a natural right that humans have after climbing to the top of the food chain, and there are few exceptions.

But this concept obviously doesn't work in the other world, especially among the wild giants who fight against the heaven and earth and compete with all things.

Rooney's purpose on this trip was naturally to get rid of the dog's spiritual life, but this "get rid of" could mean killing it or taming it, which was why he invited Mellen in the first place.

In short, as long as Rooney can achieve the fundamental goal of making the dog spirit life no longer deliberately target the Savage Giant, the means do not matter.

Soon the two walked out of the Gobi Desert and came to a plain environment, where stone forests stood, some hundreds meters high, some thousands of meters high.

Melen touched these stone forests lightly and found that they were not ordinary stones, but were much harder than steel.

Only the magic of nature can create such a unique scenery.

Rooney said proudly: "This is where we, the Savage Giants, have lived for generations... Thousand Needles."

Mellen followed Rooney's instructions and found that many thick stone forests were connected by simple iron chains. The tops of these stone forests were flattened by powerful forces and people could live on them. They were obviously prepared for the wild giants.

As they continued to move forward, Melen soon understood why the Savage Giants lived above the Stone Forest. In the Thousand Needles Stone Forest, there were giant beasts called Wild Beasts. Their bodies were larger than those of ordinary beasts, and they could generally reach a height of more than ten meters. Some of them had reached the legendary level based on their physical strength alone. If the Savage Giants lived below the Stone Forest, it would undoubtedly be a disaster for ordinary Savage Giants.

Generally speaking, only wild giants who have undergone the coming-of-age ceremony are qualified to hunt wild beasts, and wild beasts are also the main source of food for the wild giant tribe.

From time to time, you can encounter fierce and powerful giant warriors on the road. Their hunting is not a reckless rush. They lurk, track, and raid... Every qualified giant warrior can be said to have been tempered through thousands of trials and tribulations.

When these giant warriors see Rooney, they will immediately stop what they are doing, salute respectfully, and call him elder.

Rooney also briefly mentioned this to Mellen on the way. Although there are many ethnic groups in the entire Luanyan Territory, everyone has more or less the blood of giants. With this connection, and most of them being straightforward in character, many problems can be easily solved.

The Council of Elders is the highest authority that governs the Luanyan Territory. No matter which tribe one comes from, as long as one successfully ascends to a Saint, he or she will automatically become a member of the Council of Elders and enjoy the rights of an elder.

The area of Luanyan Territory is much larger than Tianfeng Territory and Yivian Territory, and its overall strength is far superior.

Now, there are a total of twelve elders in the entire Elder Council, including Rooney. Among them, there are also people like Rooney who, through hard work or luck, have evolved their own race into high-level giants, and their strength is far beyond that of their peers.

Soon the two arrived at the core of the Thousand Needles, which was an extremely huge stone pillar that reached the sky. The mottled marks on it seemed to bear witness to its long history.

Although the two could fly directly up, they followed local customs and took the elevator.

There is naturally more than one such elevator. Judging from its size, it can probably accommodate the needs of about a hundred giants going up and down at a time.

During the slow ascent, the scenery of most of the Thousand Needles Forest appeared before Meren's eyes.

After the two climbed up the stone pillar, Melen first saw four strong giant warriors guarding the entrance of the elevator. They were full of energy and were all at the peak of the third level.

What surprised Melen was that although the top of the stone pillar was at an extremely high altitude, there was no strong wind except for the lower temperature.

It was already night time, and the stars were twinkling in the sky. They seemed so close that you could reach out and touch them.

Under Rooney's guidance, Melen met the leader of the Barbarian Giants, who was just a Barbarian Giant at the peak of legend.

For the wild giants, the chief represents not only power but also responsibility, so many wild giants would rather fight, hunt, and practice than serve as the chief.

There is also a saint elder among the barbarian giants, but that elder basically doesn't care about anything and will only take action when necessary.

Rooney is very close to the patriarch, which is also due to the unique training system of the Barbarian Giants.

Generally speaking, newborn giant babies are raised by the tribe. This is certainly not the tribe snatching custody rights from the child's parents, but the vast majority of giant parents take the initiative to do so. For giants, having children is more like a task that must be completed. After completing this task, they can relax for a long time.

When the young Savage Giants grow to a certain size, they will be assigned to different Savage Giants for training and education based on their talents and performance. The best ones will naturally enjoy the best resources, and the patriarch will also give them special instruction from time to time.

It has to be said that although this method does not quite conform to Mellen's values, it is indeed the most cost-effective way for a primitive tribe fighting for its life against the sky.

These traditions were inherited by the Barbarian Giant Tribe from its weaker days.

Rooney then introduced his seventeen wives to Mellen.

Looking at his 'brothers' whose bodies were covered with knotted muscles and whose supposedly soft breasts had turned into two clumps of tight pectoral muscles, Mellen froze completely.

At first he was wondering why he hadn't seen any female giants along the way. It turned out that he had always mistaken women for men.

Rooney said proudly, "They are all the most beautiful beauties in each branch of the Savage Giants, the objects of admiration for countless Savage Giants. Until I successfully evolved into a Storm Giant, they immediately couldn't wait to climb into my bed, and they can't wait to give birth to a bunch of cubs next year! Hahahaha!"

"See the firm muscles on Grace's chest? That elasticity..."

"And the beautiful muscle lines on Nit's thighs are really beautiful..."

"..."

As Rooney introduced them, his wives were not shy at all. Instead, they all posed in various ways to show off their muscles.

Mellen: ...

In nature, many wild beasts retain a tradition that only the king of the tribe has the right to mate. This is actually an instinct engraved deep in the genes of life through the process of survival of the fittest from generation to generation.

This is true even for humans who possess wisdom and establish order.

There is no need to say much about those successful people.

Even if you have no power or influence and are not good-looking, as long as you take off your shirt and reveal eight abdominal muscles and a body of tendon meat, you can still trigger countless spring tides.

After listening for a moment, Mellen had to interrupt Rooney's show-off with an awkward but polite smile.

Because something was obviously wrong as Rooney was talking, and it was vaguely like he wanted to introduce a giant female companion to Mellen on the spot, and it would be best if she could leave some "seeds" or something.

Especially since he had unknowingly found many female giant "brothers" surrounding Melen, he felt even more shocked.

Melen wasn't a eunuch, so he naturally didn't mind a little romance, but if the target was a giant...

Well, we can only say that there is a slight difference in aesthetics between the two sides, so he sternly declined Rooney's "good intentions"

Next, under Rooney's regretful gaze, Melen tasted the Barbarian Giant's specialty food, roasted wild beast meat.

Don't say it, don't say it!

Although the cooking method was a bit primitive and rough, the taste was still quite good, especially the flavor and chewiness of the wild beast meat itself, which made Melen show off several large plates.

Chapter 321 Plan A and Plan B

After dealing with the enthusiasm of the wild giant in a rather awkward manner, Mellen chatted with Rooney all night in the face of Rooney's somewhat resentful eyes.

Of course, Mellen's main purpose was to learn more about the rank of Saint, not because he was afraid of a possible "night attack".

Well, based on Melen's current understanding of the Savage Titans, the word "maybe" in front of "night raid" might be removed directly!

During this exchange, Rooney did not hide anything and basically answered every question. This cleared up a lot of doubts for Mellen and made him have a better understanding of the high-level inheritances in his hands. This provided him with a lot of ideas for integrating these inheritances into [Wolf Tamer] in the future.

After a night of communication, the two prepared to set off for the chaotic desert early the next morning.

When leaving the stone house, Melen could clearly feel that as the sun rose, the temperature at the top of the stone pillar was rising rapidly.

Some young-looking barbarian giants began to train under the guidance of tall and strong barbarian giant warriors.

Melen felt that this huge temperature contrast between day and night might also be a part of the giant's self-training.

Last night they climbed up the stone pillar and took the elevator out of respect for their first visit and to enjoy the beautiful scenery. Naturally, there was no need to use the same method to go down this time. Mellen and Rooney took off directly into the air and flew towards the chaotic desert in the envious eyes of the little giants.

The Chaos Desert is a dangerous place next to the Thousand Needles. The environment here is extremely harsh, and just as its name suggests, it can confuse the perception of those who enter, making it impossible for them to distinguish directions and eventually get lost forever.

In comparison, although Thousand Needles is also very dangerous, it is one of the richest resource territories in the entire Rock Territory.

In addition, the Chaos Desert is accompanied by two other dangers...

One is the deadly sandstorm.

Occasionally, terrifying sandstorms stretching from sky to earth would blow up in the Chaos Desert. Once swept into it, even a legendary warrior could only barely protect himself. Combined with the Chaos Desert's natural chaotic perception, there was a high probability that he would be trapped and killed in it.

The second is the Kuroshio Current.

The so-called Kuroshio is not a natural phenomenon, but a chaotic desert life called black-toothed insects.

The black-toothed beetle is a black beetle-like creature, as big as a millstone. Individually, it is not very powerful and belongs to the bottom of the chaotic desert food chain. However, once it reaches a large scale and covers the sky and the earth, even the most powerful legendary beetles will be eaten up.

"So..." Melen pointed at the black beetle in front of him that Rooney had casually killed and asked, "Is this the 'Black Tide', one of the two major dangers in the Chaos Desert?"

Rooney skillfully peeled back the black-toothed beetle's carapace while saying, "That's why I told you that individual black-toothed beetles are merely food for the other life forms in the Chaos Desert. They need to reach a certain size to form a 'black tide'."

Rooney took out the black-toothed beetle meat and put it directly into his mouth to chew, a look of nostalgia on his face. He said, "It's been a long time since I tasted this flavor. When I came to the Chaos Desert for my coming-of-age ceremony, I encountered a deadly sandstorm. I buried myself in the sand more than ten meters deep to escape the disaster. I survived that month by relying on black-toothed beetles to satisfy my hunger."

He looked at Mellen and said with a smile, "Would you like to try it?"

Melen frowned as he looked at the strange piece of meat wrapped in yellow-green mucus. He really couldn't associate this thing with being delicious.

However, in line with the principle of not being qualified to express an opinion without trying it, Melen still pinched out a small piece, first put it in front of his nose to sniff, and there was no smell. After hesitating for a moment, he put it in his mouth...

vomit! ~

Mellen looked at Rooney who was laughing and was speechless.

Nature is truly marvelous. Never try to eat species that have evolved themselves to look unpalatable, because there is a high probability that they really do not taste good.

Moreover, Melen could also feel that there was a slight toxin in the black-toothed insect's flesh.

However, if we put aside the taste and toxins, these pieces of meat are indeed very nutritious and rich in water, which makes them a very precious source of food for this chaotic desert.

Moreover, black-toothed insects are quite common in the chaotic desert, and usually, several of them can be lured out by making a little noise.

After satisfying Rooney's bad taste, Mellen asked: "Now what? How do we find the dog?"

Rooney said naturally: "Wait!"

"Wait?" Mellen blinked, somewhat confused about what Rooney wanted to express.

Rooney nodded and said, "Yes, just wait."

He pointed at the black-toothed insects and said, "You've tasted it before. Most of the life forms in the Chaos Desert taste like this. Although the dog can eat these to replenish its energy, it prefers the flesh and blood of foreign life forms. That's why it usually actively attacks outsiders."

"As long as we restrain our aura, it will come to us on its own in no time."

Melen shook his head. He didn't expect that the two of them, who were equivalent to one and a half saints, would have to rely on passive waiting to fish in the chaotic desert.

Mellen thought for a moment and asked, "You said before that the dog suddenly appeared in the Chaos Desert. Since the dog is not a native life form in the Chaos Desert, why did it stay there?"

Rooney shook his head and said, "I don't know. When our barbarian giant met that dog, it was a life-and-death battle. There was no communication at all."

"Okay." Mellen shrugged and said, "Then we can only use this most stupid method."

The two slowly walked into the depths of the chaotic desert.

As Rooney walked, he said, "Let me tell you something you need to be careful about in the Chaos Desert."

"The most important thing in the chaotic desert is to learn how to identify your direction. Only in this way can you avoid getting lost. We, the Savage Giants, have summarized three methods, each suitable for different situations..."

"Also, there are many kinds of monsters in the Chaos Desert. Black-toothed worms are not to be mentioned. Apart from the small creatures in the Black Tide state, you don't need to pay too much attention to them. The most common ones are sandworms. They..."

Under Rooney's guidance, Mellen experienced the treatment of a wild giant's coming-of-age ceremony, hunting in the chaotic desert, decomposing materials from the prey, and searching for rare treasures in the desert.

More than ten days passed like this, and the two still didn't meet the dog.

Mellen was not impatient at all. Instead, he felt that it was nice to live like this occasionally.

Rooney stopped and said, "I've already told you all the information about the Chaos Desert. You've learned quite well. Even among the Savage Giants, you're considered a top-notch desert hunter."

Mellen looked at Rooney and realized that he might have something else to say.

Sure enough, Rooney continued, "Let's split up. I've agreed with the tribe that if we can't find the dog in a short period of time, we'll send a group of Savage Giants into the Chaos Desert to conduct the coming-of-age ceremony."

As he spoke, Rooney handed a rough stone to Mellen.

Mellen stroked the fist-sized stone in his hand, which was engraved with rune-like marks. In his opinion, if the previous joint search by the two was plan A, then the current one should be plan B.

Rooney said, "Once the little ones in the tribe encounter that dog, they will trigger the means they have prepared in advance. This rune can guide us to find them."

Mellen frowned and said, "Using them as bait? What if we can't rescue them in time?"

Rooney said calmly: "In this world, there are dangers in doing anything."

Melen remained silent and said nothing more.

"By the way," Rooney added, "if you encounter that dog first, don't kill it, because it's probably just its clone. Wait until I get here."

Mellen nodded, and the two of them went their separate ways.

It can be seen that Rooney was indeed well prepared to deal with the dog lurking in the Chaos Desert. He made an agreement with the tribe to release the group of young giants after they entered the Chaos Desert for more than ten days. He was also waiting for Melen to become familiar with the environment in the Chaos Desert.
