Chapter 178 Disturbance
The area full of pyramids seemed to be the center of the continent. Ciel saw that the sun seemed to be so close to that area that its heat could be seen from afar.
Outside that area, there were many large stones where some of them were located side by side and on top of them there was an additional stone so that between them they were protected from the sun.
These places were used by people as places to rest, soothing their bodies from the heat of the sun during the journey.
Ciel saw quite a few people bathing there just to feel cool.
From the looks of it, they would probably camp there tonight.
"Prince, we'd better rest first. Although moving at night is easier, there are many desert monsters," Yasmin said, advising Ciel.
People chose to rest obviously for that reason.
Ciel didn't mind, he nodded in response.
"Let's go over there," he said, pointing to the best place.
It was still empty, perhaps those who came earlier didn't dare to take it.
All the camels then moved towards it. They stopped just outside it.
Ciel and the others dismounted, and started making camp to rest.
Even for them there was little effect from being under the heat for too long. They needed to sleep and cultivate for a while to get their bodies back in shape.
The sky began to darken after they finished setting up camp. They also built a bonfire to keep the night bright.
When it is night, there are over 10,000 groups camping there.
Some actually chose to go directly, thinking that luck would be with them.
It was just that, in Ciel's group, the members of the Elven Race had slightly separated themselves from the members of the Ice Palace.
Actually, Ciel himself didn't do anything.
He sat on a rock and watched the people work.
Of course, the word peaceful was not suitable to describe this situation as Ciel found quite a few conflicts, such as the rogue cultivator without a faction who was in conflict with a large sect for various reasons.
Some of them were because of women.
Ciel just smiled as he looked at it all.
So many young masters there, some had unreasonable arrogance, but even they would smile when they saw him.
"Yeah, some people are really having fun," Ciel said as he used his Eyes of Heaven.
He saw quite a few couples making love in a hidden corner between the stones.
They seemed very happy and enjoying it.
When it came to lovemaking, even women who always looked elegant went wild.
In fact among them there was no shortage of Young Ladies of the Great Clans, each of whom always showed the demeanor of a noble, as Mu Yixue often showed.
However, they also made love.
Their partners varied, some were paired with young masters from the Great Clans, and some were paired with ordinary people who possessed amazing talents.
Of course, out of all of them, Ciel still found one commonality where no one was different at all.
They did it while standing. The men lifted their ladies' dresses and hugged them from behind.
The longer he looked at them, Ciel couldn't help but want it too, and wondered who he would do it with.
There were four options he could choose from. Mu Yixue, Mei Mei, Yasmin, or even Thalia whom he could force to serve him.
However, after thinking about it, Ciel thought it was better with his new wife, Yasmin.
Thalia was still a virgin, even if he wanted to fuck her, it was not suitable in a place like this.
And he had to admit that although the woman was very beautiful, she had not been able to show anything that would interest him. After all, because of his relationship with the Elf Queen, it became difficult for him to be attracted to her to the point where he really wanted her to be his lover.
Moments later, Ciel saw Yasmin and Mu Yixue coming towards him, each carrying a tray of food.
They came through different paths, but Ciel had to admit that it was a little difficult when they came together.
Ciel planned to make love again with Yasmin after he ate, but if Mu Yixue was present, it became difficult.
Forbidding Mu Yixue to come was also impossible. That woman could think that he didn't love her anymore.
Of course, there were other ways, like doing it in threes.
When thinking that, Ciel's head shook slightly as he felt as if it was no different from tearing down the sky.
However, when he was busy thinking about good things, something suddenly happened.
The ground shook and rumbled, so strong that it caused the rocks to crack.
"What happened?" Ciel couldn't help but wonder.
Although it was said that this was a dangerous place, how did it come so quickly?
The others were also confused.
Fearing something bad coming from below, people quickly flew off, not forgetting to bring their camels.
"Prince, this might be the Desert Giants," Yasmin said when she arrived beside Ciel.
She stored the food she cooked for Ciel into her Storage Ring. It could still be eaten later.
"What's the Desert Giants?" asked Mu Yixue to Yasmin.
It seems that her knowledge does not reach that at all.
"They're inhabitants of this desert, living underground," Yasmin replied.
"However, there's no need to worry. Their cultivation is mostly only in the Hegemon Realm, it's very rare above that, and I don't think they will appear. It's just that those in the Hegemon Realm are very numerous, and they are very fond of fighting."
After Yasmin finished explaining, one by one a huge hand came out of the desert, splitting it in two so that the figures below were revealed.
They were truly enormous giants, each hundreds of meters tall, one even reaching 1 kilometer.
Their bodies were full of muscles and gave the impression that they were created from stone. Perhaps their flesh was indeed stone.
Ciel was attracted to the 1 kilometer tall giant.
His aura was so powerful that he, like him, had reached the final frontier of the Hegemon Realm.
He was carrying a hammer larger than his own body, and he didn't seem to have any trouble carrying it.
"My name is Ahong, which one of you dares to fight with me," he shouted in a really loud voice, shaking the air until cracks appeared.
His large eyes stared at all the little people in front of him, as if he was looking at a crowd of ants.
No one answered. This didn't mean no one dared him. Most geniuses nowadays were indeed only at the Seventh or Eighth Hegemon Stage, but that didn't mean they were afraid of fighting because they also had a terrifying ace up their sleeve.
They just didn't want to be the first to make a move.
Some actually stared at Ciel spontaneously because they assumed that Ciel had a power that everyone already knew about. He was the strongest without a doubt because even Garbiel died in his hands.
In the end, Ahong's eyes also looked at Ciel.
At the same time, Yasmin suddenly stepped forward.
"Mr. Ahong, I'm Yasmin, I hope you can step back and not disturb my husband. He wants to rest now," she said in a polite tone.
No one was not surprised by her words because the way she defended Ciel was indeed very impressive.
"Ohhh..." Ahong looked interested.
"I've heard so much about you, Princess Yasmin, I didn't realize you were married," he said.
Surprisingly to Yasmin he seemed more relaxed. Perhaps there was a connection between them, the giants, and the humans living in this desert.
"I am old enough to marry, Mr. Ahong," Yasmin replied.
"Yeah, that's good, but your husband seems very strong, so I still want to fight him. My friends also seem to be eager to fight because they haven't fought in a long time." Despite Yasmin's pleas, Ahong remained adamant.
Just as Yasmin wanted to say something more, Ahong suddenly added, "If I lose, I'll help your husband until he's done with his business. How about that? In the center of this desert, I know a lot of things so you guys can move more easily."
"Are you sure?" Yasmin is suddenly interested after hearing his offer.
"You know that we are brave warriors, never breaking a promise," Ahong replied.
After hearing that, Yasmin looks at Ciel, seemingly wanting to ask his opinion.
Ciel smiled slightly, and was actually quite interested.
His interest increased after hearing the giant's offer.
He took a step forward and said, "sure, let's fight. I also want to know how strong I am. I don't think it's bad to fight before dinner."
Hearing that Ciel agreed, Ahong immediately looked excited.
"Then let's do it." He then jumped far, far away but his figure was still clearly visible because of how big his body was.
When Ciel flew over to come to him, people couldn't find Ciel's figure anymore.
"Charge!" And suddenly, the other Desert Giants jumped into the crowd of people, their targets being the powerful geniuses.
Those geniuses originally wanted to watch Ciel's fight, so they were immediately angry at being interrupted.
They counterattacked so that the night in the desert was full of color instantly as the geniuses fought against the giants.
