Middle Earth Month, November 6th.
This was Tang Zheng's ninth day entering Despair Valley and his second day arriving at the Oasis where humans resided.
Crack!
Tang Zheng pushed open the wooden door, and a scorching heat wave rushed in with the outside air.
Gulu Gulu~ A five-meter-sized pool of water immediately came into view, with water bubbling on the surface, and the surrounding area was covered with vegetation that blocked the sun.
Somewhat similar to the sand date trees and Haloxylon ammodendron of his previous life, some of these plants had dewdrops hanging on their slender branches and leaves.
Adding a touch of coolness to the hot air.
Such a scene in the Despair Valley, which was full of yellow sand and dryness, was somewhat unbelievable.
Tang Zheng took a breath, feeling the rare moisture in the air, and a relaxed look appeared on his face: "Yesterday's impulsive act of slaughtering the Gray Dwarves was a bit rash, but in this area, there's no need to worry about being noticed."
If yesterday's situation had occurred in the Northwest Continent where humans lived, it would likely have attracted the attention of some forces.
Tang Zheng walked forward, squatted down, scooped up a handful of water from the source with both hands, took a sip, and then wiped the water from his mouth.
The water temperature was cool, but the taste was not sweet.
Instead, it had a slight bitterness, but in this desert area, having a water source was already an unattainable luxury.
"Hero, sir!"
A familiar voice sounded not far away, accompanied by the sound of rapid footsteps. Ya La'er came over with a portion of food in her hands.
"Good morning, Ya La'er." Tang Zheng stood up and greeted Ya La'er with a smile.
Ya La'er was still wearing revealing clothes that barely covered her vital parts, and her forehead and slender neck were covered with a layer of fine sweat.
"Hero, sir, this is your breakfast. I'm very sorry for being a little late." Ya La'er came to Tang Zheng with a face full of apology, lowered her head in shame, and bowed deeply.
"There's no need to be like this for such a small matter, and I just came out." Tang Zheng took the food, picked up a unique grilled scorpion tail, found a clean place to sit down, and started eating casually.
Seeing that Tang Zheng didn't seem angry, Ya La'er slightly retracted her flat abdomen, breathed a sigh of relief, and then looked at Tang Zheng with curiosity and admiration.
He clearly didn't look like he had much muscle.
But he could easily kill the Gray Dwarf army, which was truly unbelievable.
Under such a direct gaze, Tang Zheng's eyelids twitched.
After a brief contact, he could already feel the directness and stubbornness of the humans here in terms of speaking and doing things.
For example, in terms of address, Tang Zheng had reminded her several times last night, but he couldn't get Ya La'er to change her way of addressing him, so he simply went along with her.
"How is the recovery of your clansmen's injuries?" Tang Zheng asked.
"Thanks to the Regeneration Potion you gave us, hero, sir, everyone has been able to get out of bed and walk around after just one night."
Ya La'er quickly replied upon hearing the question, the look of worship in her eyes becoming even more intense. She put her hands together in front of her chest and bowed again: "Some of the disabled clansmen have also recovered from their injuries under the treatment of your potion, hero, sir."
"Thank you so much, hero, sir!"
Faced with this expression of gratitude.
Tang Zheng didn't decline again, but nodded: "That's good."
The Alchemy Potion refined from Ogre blood only had a mediocre recovery effect, far inferior to the low-level red potion in the game that "recovers 50 HP."
...
Item: Magic · Alchemy Solution (Regeneration Potion)
Level: Low-grade
Introduction: Can restore 20 HP, has an excellent effect on wound recovery, and can remove certain negative statuses of "limb loss."
...
This was an Alchemy Potion refined from the blood of Ogre Gu, and its effect was better than the potion refined from ordinary Ogre blood.
Especially for ordinary people with relatively low strength.
"My father has already started training the Gray Dwarves in the use of armor and weapons. Everyone is working hard and should master it in two days at most," Ya La'er said again, her voice filled with excitement.
Attacking the Oasis where the Gray Dwarf clan resided was something they had never considered. Now that the opportunity was before them, no clansman was willing to give it up.
In decades of fighting, countless clansmen had died at the hands of the Gray Dwarves, and the hatred between them was irreconcilable.
Tang Zheng nodded slightly. Chief Dieylong was quite efficient.
"Were you just training?"
Tang Zheng swallowed the food in his mouth and looked up at Ya La'er, who had a layer of sweat on her forehead.
Simply delivering food wouldn't cause her to sweat.
"Yes, Hero!" Ya La'er quickly said, "Grandpa and Father said that only by becoming stronger can we protect our clansmen and improve their lives."
"That..."
A trace of nervousness appeared on Ya La'er's face. She glanced at Tang Zheng cautiously, bit her lip, and carefully said, "Hero, I want to become stronger. Can you teach me?"
After speaking, Ya La'er pinched her slender fingers and looked at Tang Zheng expectantly.
She was already the strongest in the entire clan, and her father could no longer guide her. But with her current strength alone, she still couldn't truly protect the clan in this Despair Valley.
Not to mention stepping into the legendary Hero Domain.
Hearing this.
A trace of understanding flashed in Tang Zheng's eyes. He had already sensed that Ya La'er seemed to have something on her mind, and it turned out to be this.
However! Tang Zheng was well aware that his strength was entirely due to the crushing of attributes, and his overall strength came from Class Skills.
After a brief silence.
"Show me the strongest move you currently possess," Tang Zheng said to Ya La'er.
"Yes, Hero."
Ya La'er immediately said excitedly, but suddenly realized that she didn't have a weapon in her hand, and quickly said, "Wait a moment, Hero."
As soon as she finished speaking, Ya La'er hurriedly ran away.
Tang Zheng shook his head helplessly.
Before a few minutes had passed.
Ya La'er returned with a long spear in her hand, running back excitedly.
"Hero, I'm starting!" As soon as Ya La'er stood firm, she unhesitatingly raised the Silver Spear with both hands.
Her entire aura changed! "*Earth Charge!*"
Ya La'er shouted in a low voice, and a khaki-colored light flashed across her body. Her entire figure suddenly rushed forward, like an arrow shot out and disappeared in place.
In an instant.
Ya La'er appeared in an open space seven meters away, and the spear in her hand slammed forward, emitting a piercing sonic boom in the air.
Seeing this, Tang Zheng narrowed his eyes slightly, glanced at the information displayed on the attribute panel, and then continued to observe.
After launching this attack, Ya La'er pressed down on the Silver Spear with her wrist, pressed down on the tail rod with one hand, and once again let out a delicate shout: "*Precise Control!*"
In a breath!
Ya La'er's aura increased by a level, and the spear in her hand turned into a series of afterimages, quickly stabbing forward.
"Combo?"
Tang Zheng's face flashed with a hint of surprise when he saw this, and then he shook his head: "Not a combo, but a means of attack that quickly increases one's own speed."
"It's a bit similar to the Martial Arts 'Water Flow Acceleration'."
With the completion of these two attacks.
Ya La'er's breathing had become a little rapid, but she still continued to display several attack methods before stopping completely, looking at Tang Zheng expectantly.
"Basic Class Warrior, Knight, and a mid-tier Class Earth Knight."
Tang Zheng's gaze swept across the attribute panel, and the information that appeared one after another made him fully understand the Classes that Ya La'er possessed.
What surprised him a bit was that Ya La'er actually mastered three classes, one of which was even a mid-tier class.
"Very good." Tang Zheng gave Ya La'er a serious look and praised her.
Based on the strength Ya La'er had just displayed, although she wasn't quite at level 20 or above, she was around level seventeen or eighteen.
To have such strength at her age showed that her talent was very good, no, it should be described as excellent.
Even among the human nations of the Northwest Continent, she possessed the level of a "Platinum Rank" Adventurer.
Ya La'er's cheeks flushed slightly, and she put down the Silver Spear in her hand. "This level of strength is far from enough to protect my people. I also want to have the powerful strength like Grandpa and the Hero."
"But I don't think I have that kind of talent."
Ya La'er lowered her head as she said this.
"No."
Tang Zheng spoke softly, then said seriously, "You have that kind of talent."
"Ah?" Ya La'er looked up, her silver pupils looking at Tang Zheng in disbelief.
If someone else said it, she naturally wouldn't believe it, but the words spoken by the powerful Hero in front of her were extraordinary.
Tang Zheng nodded, this wasn't just a perfunctory remark.
Although he couldn't see the exact level of a person's talent, he could use the attribute panel to observe the number of classes they possessed.
While this couldn't be completely equated with talent, the number of classes could represent a portion of their potential.
At least someone with only one basic class, no matter how much they improved, would only reach level 15 at most.
Ya La'er had two basic classes and one mid-tier class, so her upper limit would naturally be higher. As for whether she could really reach the "Hero" level...
That would depend on opportunity and effort.
The Warrior Captain Gazef had several classes and also possessed this potential, but until his death, he never truly reached the "Hero" Domain.
