61: Chapter 61: Sand Soldier Appearance!
The next day, morning.
Zhang Xiaoman hadn’t been able to sleep all night due to spiritual power overload, and he hurried out as soon as dawn broke.
Compared to yesterday, he was even more confident today.
Because today, during the lottery draw, he was lucky enough to pull a blue skill.

——Shurima, your emperor has returned.
When Zhang Xiaoman saw this skill, he knew it was going to make him rich.
Compared to the other skills he had drawn before, Sand Soldier Appearance undoubtedly matched Zhang Xiaoman’s idea of clinging to life more closely.
In his view, if he could stand at a distance and cast skills, he would never go up to hack and slash.
If he could let underlings do it, he would never lift a finger himself.
Since using the skill required 15 points of energy, and he only had 28 points at the mont, he was also reluctant to try it recklessly.
He had been cooped up at ho all night, waiting until now for daylight so he could finally go to the small woods and indulge himself.
He walked to the entrance of the residential area, full of confidence.
Zhang Xiaoman was putting in a ride-hailing order while also going over his plans for the expedition in detailed simulations.
With the assistance of the Yellow Sand Soldiers, he planned to take out the remaining three insects in one fell swoop.
Standing at the entrance of the residential area, it took less than 5 minutes for a very familiar white modern sedan to slowly enter his field of view.
“What the hell?
Why is it this guy again?
Are there no other cars in Qionghua City?”
Zhang Xiaoman was frustrated; he had been too engrossed in his thoughts just now.
If he had known, he would have checked the license plate number of the vehicle accepting the order.
As soon as the car ca to a stop, the driver hurriedly rolled down the window, looking at him with a face of surprise:
“Wow, brother, what a coincidence we have!
It’s been a day and we et again!
How about we just add each other as friends?
Next ti you want to go, just send a ssage directly, and I’ll co pick you up.
That way, we can also avoid letting the middleman make a profit.”
Seeing the driver handing over his QR code for adding friends, Zhang Xiaoman felt embarrassed to refuse, so he took out his phone and added him.
“Li Xiang…”
After checking the driver’s na, he casually dragged it into a seldom-used chat group.
“Heh heh, brother, is your event not over yet?
Looks like you’re pulling an all-nighter?”
The driver, nad Li Xiang, asked.
Zhang Xiaoman nodded helplessly:
“Uh-huh, we’re having a ‘Three Days Three Nights Cosplay Barbecue Party’.”
Li Xiang was excited at the ntion:
“Really?
The legendary ‘Three Days Three Nights Cosplay Barbecue Party’?
I’ve seen people do it in short videos before, wow!
That’s aweso!
Can I co and see?”
Zhang Xiaoman had a befuddled expression on his face.
How could this thing actually exist?
He then snapped back to reality and said sowhat awkwardly,
“Uh…
we have a mbership system here, and we can’t add people halfway through.
How about next ti?
I’ll notify you in advance when there’s an event.”
Initially disappointed, Li Xiang then enthusiastically began discussing the various details of the party, making the latter nod repeatedly in agreent.
Twenty minutes later, Zhang Xiaoman finally finished the journey.
It must be said, this driver really knew how to chat.
And he was especially friendly; it was really a pity he wasn’t in business with that kind of eloquence.
Walking into the woods, he made sure there was no one around, then waved his hand and activated the Skill he had just learned.
Sand Soldier Appearance!
As his consciousness commanded, the surrounding dirt suddenly rose into the air.
It then gathered together, gradually forming a human shape; after a couple more breaths, the figure had fully solidified.
The Sand Soldier, around 1.9 ters tall with rippling muscles and dressed in a neat suit of armor in dull yellow, had only his eyes visible, glowing blue.
In his hands, he held a huge spear over two ters long, with an imnsely broad spearhead, almost like Guan Yu’s Green Dragon Crescent Blade.
Zhang Xiaoman felt that if he encountered enemies, he might not even need to thrust; a simple slap could probably kill a person.
A light purple cape hung on the back of the Sand Soldier, bearing an upside-down triangular emblem.
He looked at the symbol and felt it was familiar.
After thinking briefly, he realized it was the emblem of the Shurima Empire from the ga.
He waved his hand to command the Sand Soldier to attack a small tree nearby.
Zhang Xiaoman then watched it take heavy steps towards the tree, then with a sweeping motion of the long spear, ferociously chopped down the locust tree, which was as thick as a bowl.
“Cool!
So cool!
This attack power is too strong!
Now I finally have a mighty physical attack option!”
He was euphoric.
Afterward, Zhang Xiaoman spent a few more minutes testing the various abilities of the Yellow Sand Soldier and discovered its behavior differed significantly from that in the ga.
In the ga, Yellow Sand Soldiers only had one kind of thrust attack, and they couldn’t move at will.
Even after being summoned, the summoner himself couldn’t make other attacking moves.
But the tests Zhang Xiaoman just conducted revealed that the ability the System extracted seed to have been enhanced and modified.
These Sand Soldiers could not only move but run at a speed much faster than his own.
Their attack thods were also varied: chopping, stabbing, jabbing, just like a true battle-hardened warrior.
However, Zhang Xiaoman found that he could only issue commands to it in his mind, down to each specific action, but he couldn’t substitute for its control.
“Aweso!
Aweso!
Now that’s how a Transcendent should look like!”
Zhang Xiaoman was imnsely satisfied with this Skill, and his confidence in his plans for hunting monsters increased manifold.
Controlling the Sand Soldier to clear the path ahead, he followed closely behind, heading towards the location of the Space Node.
This ti, with such a at shield in front, Zhang Xiaoman felt his safety was greatly enhanced.
Upon returning to the front of the Space Node, the purple light appeared in his field of view again, he held back his excitent and stood at a distance to carefully observe the situation.
Seeing that there were still only three fat insects, he then slowly approached with the Sand Soldier he had just summoned.
